  1. I apologise if this has already been touched on recently. Been a little preoccupied with...life. Wanted to post about it now while on my mind...

    980's NBA/Wizards insider Michael Adams in studio right now. Asking him about our now-open 15th roster spot and what we should do with it: keep it open for the chance Pierce can convince Allen to come aboard? Or do something with a PG since Miller is so hot and cold these days (or young and old)?

    I think I like Adams' idea and don't recall seeing him name mentioned before: Nate Robinson. What you all think?

  2. You're an odd dude.

    But I love it lol

    Don't get me wrong, it was all in good fun. It wasn't rude or disrespectful or anything like that. It was everything sports fandom and rivalries should be. Both with smiles on our faces as we talk ****. And the great thing about sports, there will be a winner and a loser. Oh my God I'm gonna spend the next whatever-months plotting my ****-talking to random-gas-station-attendant LeBron-fan Sikh on the chance we might face them in the playoffs. I will own him.

  3. Just had a great example of why I love basketball, why I love America and why I love the DMV.

    Stopped at some gas station out in 29 between Gainesville and Warrenton. Dude working the register was this older Sikh, heavy accent, probably in his 50's.

    I'm rocking an old blue Wizards skully. He mentions that he likes it. I tell him, true story, that I actually got it at the first game John Wall ever played in DC. That they were handing them out at his home debut. He says he watched our game last night and he was impressed but unfortunately he's the fan of someone else. I ask who...

    "LeBron James."

    Wrong answer. We proceed to argue for at least the next ten minutes. No exaggeration. We got into it. It continued on as he checked out at least four more customers (he continues to argue with me the entire time he's ringing then up, everyone laughing.)

    The two ugliest moments came when he said that LeBron at 65% was more of a winner than KD and then, worst of all, tried to argue that Kyrie was better than Wall. That really set me off.

    I promised him I would be back next time we played. And that he would see me every single day if we faced off in the playoffs. God help him if we knock them out. .

    So yeah, a 50+-year-old, turbanned-up Sikh arguing NBA basketball at work in Prince William/Fauquier County, VA with some nerdy white kid reppin'the long-losing hometeam. God bless the DMV. God bless the USA. **** LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

  4. Nene is the anti-Kevin Love at PF in some ways. Never chases numbers, just plays good basketball. Huge body, great feet, strong as a bear, elite defensive player. Accountable and mature locker room presence and solid leader.

    I'm not going to name names but I'm almost positive there were folks on here who were swearing off following the Wiz as long as Ernie was in charge as a result of the Javale/Nene trade. Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I don't think so

  5. I think, with a lot of effort and a little luck, Curry can end up having a pretty good career. Maybe even as good as J.R. Smith or A.J. English.

    Let's try to keep this thread serious.

    Hopefully I'm not too late, in Curry I see a lot of Dana Barros or, to keep it local, Michael Adams. Definitely has the potential to be a contestant in the 3 Point Shootout one day.

  6. It's their fan base, not the franchise. It's gigantic despite the fact the Knicks are just as basketball irrelevant as the Wizards were before this season. Pop over to the Knicks board on RealGM and it's the biggest and most active board I think. Either them or Chicago. That's a loooot of masochistic fans. I'm not sure there is anything else quite like it.

    I really wonder how the Nets being in Brooklyn is going to affect the Knicks. If at all.
