Side note: Why not have another thread for games... Individual games ? Is that frowned upon ? I read this thread mostly for news, not for individual games.

Ehh...just throwing it out there.

We used to have game threads back when the basketball section of the site was active. For whatever reason we stopped using that and just posted in here. As far as I remember it was never discussed, just happened. I don't think anyone wants to pollute the Tailgate with new threads all the time, plus it's a lot of work and I think we like building up this thread, hence why it's so damn long

'nuff said.

That should be the image on his Wikipedia page. That is perfect.

And you all need to get it right and stop calling the man out of his name. It's not Nick Young (yawn), it's Swaggy P. Come on.

Looking up other weird stats, did you know Karl Malone leads the NBA in most career turnovers?

And John Stockton is second

Lmao at the Cavs "explanation"

Jason Lloyd
@JasonLloydABJ
#Cavs clarify Kyrie/Love handshake last night. They are "sharpening the end of an imaginary mustache" at end of the exchange. Nothing else

13,418

And Dirk passed Hakeem for 9th all time in points scored

Oh and the Buck had consecutive wins for the first time in 105 games, an NBA record

Isn't it the same sweater showing the front and the back?

Omg, I'm an idiot. Didn't even realize that. Yeah, that's the greatest ugly Xmas sweater in history. I will be buying that. Don't care if it is $60(!!!).

**** man, past employer had an ugly Xmas sweater contest. $50 prize, you better believe I was all over that ****. I'm sure I posted about it here. Rocked a Hello Kitty Xmas sweater. Took 1st place. **** Hello Kitty, I would've ordered this here just for that contest. Wouldn't care if it did cut into my prize.

I think I'd go for the one on the right. More Xmas-y. The one on the left with the whack-ass Wiz logo in the colors that match the Xmas theme is definitely enticing though

I have Sunday Ticket already. I'm not spending any more money and I don't know how you guys can watch a live sporting event on a 4 inch (phone), 10 inch (tablet) or 17 inch (computer) screen. Too small. I need a TV. Speaking of which, you could always get a 2nd TV in your home.

Was going to say, if you don't mind watching on tbe computer, pretty sure I could get you a link for every game. Goes for anyone here out of market. Obviously not the best setup, but my opinion, better than nothing. Just let me know. Ditto everyone.

A bunch of good, cheap seats left for Mavs at Wiz on the 19th. 20 bucks and up. Fun could be had...

So far it seems like me, you and skinfan2k.Destino, stevem, Randy, among others, any of you all interested? Would be real nice

I'm in. Let's set it up.

Would love that man. You're anther I've use been posting on here with for damn near a decade now, especially about the Wiz. Be nice to finally kick it for real.

anyone interested in seeing Mavs Wizards on 11/19. Lowers are going for around 20

Yes

And I know me you had childish Internet beef way [/shame], waaaay back then, but that **** was all me, was alcohol (and Who Del, God bless him, instigated) and we've been to games together in groups since, so hopefully that ain't an issue for you if I'm the only one down

I ain't even mad. At least we're relevant enough to seriously--I guess he's trying to be serious--discuss these days.

yep, and I had to search for a while. There is no connection between the Warriors and Durant, bur some bloggers will speculate about anything.

I was just pulling your chain. IMO, Durant is staying in OKC (80%) or going to DC (15%). The chance of him going anywhere else is very low.

As I've said, I'm just living life as a Wiz fan the next two years as if it's a 100% lock to happen. Worst that can happen, in two years IF he reups with OKC and my dreams and fantasies are shattered, I'll feel normal (as a Wiz fan) again.

But you're the one who searched the Internet until you found a link from red94.com.

Edit: Sorry, red94.net

That blogger is wrong, that's exactly a pipe dream. I'm not seeing where he likes a damn thing about San Fran (or Houston for that matter), just that they like him, and then who doesn't?

Do I really need to post KD/DC links? I mean your Houston Rockets message board link was a good find but I think I can top that.

I want no part of Durant when the stakes are high. Dude is money.

Don't worry, he'll be in the Eastern Conference in a couple of years. At least then you'll be able to say you GOT to the Finals.

Dubs ain't going 82-0 this year. Dammit.

Gonna by funny when you all win the West and get OKC in the 1st. Dikembe knocked off the Sonics, in '94 I think. Then you all with Baron Davis and Co. took out Dallas a few years back. And then you all this year. Am I forgetting anyone?

Oh, ****! Kobe goes for 55! Ya gotta watch a little just to see the power and grace that is Jahidi White.

It's kind of insane that he ONLY finishes with 55. First half he was 8-11 from 3 and had 42 points (Jordan with 17 at half--not too shabby for a 40 year old)

Kobe scored the last 20 Lakers points and 27 for the game. 9:40 left...in the 2nd quarter

Make that 23 in a row (in 5 minutes and 42 seconds) and 30 on the game (out of the Lakers 38 points).

Lakers announcer: "Looks like this is payback for the Wizards thrilling win earlier this year at the MCI Center."

Lol I wasn't going to watch and I need to get to sleep but I can't look away.

Anyway, back to Jordan's time here and bad memories, I knock him and hate on him for his utter-bull**** self-serving circlejerk retirement tour cluster**** (aren't enough expletives in the world to accurately describe it) every chance I get, but he did give me one great memory. I've talked about the before but I'll share again

December 29th (iirc), 2001. Was home for the first time since joining the Army. I actually enlisted one month before 9/11 and shipped off to basic one month after (talk about good timing lol) so it was a stressful time and good to be home. My big Xmas present was Wizards tickets, get to see Jordan here for the first time. Was so excited. Couldn't have gotten a better present. Went with my mom, stepdad and younger brother. And guess what? Jordan didn't disappoint. Scored 51. It was awesome to witness. And I think it might've been the last 50 point game of his career.

They were giving out black winter knit caps that night. I still got it and I still rock it to this day. To make it even better, Wall's home debut, they gave out the blue version of the exact same hat. And yup, still got it and still rock it.

Lakers announcers were just talking about how there have been so many lane violations "this year" when Shaq is shooting FT's and they don't understand why lol

I miss watching Shaq shoot free throws.

It's really strange that the memories of the greatest player of all time playing for your team are bad bad bad terrible ones that your brain tries to delete as soon as it picks them up. I can't remember seeing that picture. I've already forgotten it. What are you talking about? 5-2? Great. This season has been fantastic so far.

You're right. My bad. I edited

Oh, ****! Kobe goes for 55! Ya gotta watch a little just to see the power and grace that is Jahidi White.

Lol. I'm watching. Wiz up 11-4 early. Jordan has hit his first 4 shots

Entire team hasn't missed. 7-7, we're up 15-7

Lol goddamn Jahidi was one fat ****. I mean standing next to 3-time-champion Shaq and he still looks fat

I hate to be calling names but come on...

So just getting home, turn the TV on, hit the DVR and notice my Wizards folder at the top of the list. Hmmm. Open it up and I got "Timeless Lakers" from TWC SportsNet, the Lakers channel, taped. What the hell? Hit info, "2003: Wizards at Lakers, Kobe vs Jordan"

How about this starting lineup:

NSFL

Ahhh the memories. (I'm not sure I can bring myself to watch it lol)

On my way home now (seriously **** my boss and **** this **** ass job. I've never looked forward to quitting more in my life). I'm exhausted. Is the game worth watching? I got it taping on the DVR as always.

Dion Waiters is denying it now.

Anyway, last night Anthony Bennett played exactly 1 (ONE) second and scored 2 points. That gives him a per-36 of 4320ppg. Bust my ass.

Wall is a long way from midseason form too. He's missed a ton of layups so far this year. That is completely out of character, he's usually one of the strongest and most efficient inside finishers in the NBA.

Oh I don't know about that. His first couple years he really struggled at the rim, missing layups. I distinctly remember it because it was so maddening. I mean he's so quick and fast, he'd have no problem getting past defenders and to the rim and then wouldn't be able to finish. Last year was the first season where it was never an issue.

Completely agree with the rest of your post.

Chris Jackson. Played for the Nuggets at the time I think.

EDIT: Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

Didn't even finish your post when I remembered the situation. Good call on the Nuggets too.

That's it! Thank you sir.

He actually had a pretty long career I believe. Little small, skinny guard.

(And being online, that was something I could've easily looked up, but I think we lose a lot of good discussions like that.)
