the burgundy and gold

Wow that was an awful game. Just one of those laughable games, wasn't competitive after midway through the first quarter.

I really don't get the hate towards Wall at this point. He's extremely young and has put up very solid stats his first two seasons. Yes I understand his jumper is not that great so far but a lot of other parts of his game are extremely good. Not to mention his supporting cast has been pathetic in the first two seasons. Beal, Wall and Seraphin is a solid young core, we just need to add some pieces around them and get a new coaching staff/FO.

Lol yeah just makes no sense to bring him in at that point. And why the hell did Webster get no run at all? New coach asap please. Along with every member of the front office.

I think the Wiz games are funnier than any shows that are playing on Comedy Central right now. Pargo chucking up that 3 with like a minute left was just too fitting. The lineups Randy keeps running out there continue to frustrate the hell out of me.

Wow this game was laughable. I'm DVRing the game now just laughing so hard at Earl Barron chucking up air balls and charging down the lane with 2 minutes left. I feel bad for anyone who watched that game without having a few beers (not even sure if it's humanly possible to not drink during these games at this point). How fast do you think John Wall is gonna get the hell out of here once he hits free agency? Hahaha first bucket in like 10 minutes a three ball from Cartier but of course it's cancelled out by an offensive foul. One of the worst Wiz games i've watched in a while, and I haven't missed a game since the 2010 season. Not even sure if I want to write a recap for this game. By far the best moment of the game was Jordan Crawford blatantly cheating by taking Jan's free throws. Makes the first while smirking the whole time, immediately called out by the refs, Jan promptly misses 4 straight free throws. Gotta give a lot of love to Crawford for that move, he knows as well as any of us that there's no way Jan's making those free throws. Taking one for the team...that'll make me overlook his god awful shot selection and shooting % tonight.

That is a very good point. Obviously not a 6th overall pick but I still have confidence in Jan.

Ugh this team is frustrating to watch but I really don't expect much else when we're missing Wall and Nene. I like a lot of the pieces we have but we really need John back. The day Wall returns will be the opening night of the season in my eyes.

If true than this season is going to be veeery ugly. Over/under Nene playing 41 games this season?

Link?

Okafor needs to stop shooting. He threw up some ugly shots last night. I mean with that starting line up I guess he had to but hopefully Witt gives us a better starting lineup next game so we don't have to see Emeka throwing up disgusting jumpers.

Ugh just watched the game. Haven't looked at the box score yet, just going off what I saw. My observations: Seraphin is the stud I always thought he would be. If Crawford can play like this off the bench I will be very pleased, sucks he got injured there down the end. If not for that injury I think we would have won. Ariza has got to go, he looked terrible and no one on our team defended Pierce all night long. I thought this is why we drafted Chris Singleton?!?!?! Isn't he supposed to be our James Posey? Why the hell did he not even leave the bench as Pierce dominated us all game long. PGs looked fairly decent tonight, shot pretty well. Webster shot poorly and that final play was just an absolute joke. A fade away heave from the corner from Webster?! WTF? Emeka was less then stellar, not too excited about him yet although I think when/if Nene gets in there he'll look better. Booker also looked pretty solid, good to see him bounce back from the first game. Beal has me worried after two games. I was extremely high on him and still am I guess but he just didn't show anything tonight. Sullinger on the other hand looked solid, as I predicted Sully will be a very solid NBA player, he landed in a great situation in Boston. That pretty much covers everyone. Oh yeah, glad to see Cartier hoop it up there at the end, I think he can be a solid bench shooter on a good team. Always liked the guy. Anyways, not a bad game I guess considering the injuries we have. Although that opening quarter when we had the starters was just terrible. I hope Wittman switches up the starters for the next game.

Ugh I kind of wish I could respond to every post off the last few pages, unfortunately I rarely visit this thread and tend to stick with other Wizards fan sites. I agree with what a lot of people are saying, the management/ownership of this team has been pathetic. We're a large market that could attract big stars, especially since we have Wall. I like the idea of having Wall, Beal, Nene and Seraphin as a core group. But right now Nene is way too injury prone. I liked the trade initially but as of now it seems like Nene is gonna be injured forever, therefore greatly decreasing the value of that trade. If Nene is ever at full 100% strength, I will be pleased with the trade. I think with the roster we have right now, if every player was 100% healthy, we would be in the playoffs as a 6-8 seed. While it's obviously tough not to, I really don't think we can judge the team yet. If once Wall, Seraphin and Nene come back and we're still struggling then by all means judge away. I have confidence in Wall and Seraphin, hopefully Beal can produce as well. But yeah overall I agree EG/Ted has not done well thus far. Also another note: I think I'd rather have Wall, Seraphin, Beal and Nene over Wall, Nene and Harden. Thoughts?

What kind of beers do you like? Might be easier to suggest something if we have some idea what your tastes are.

Just got home from the office so really haven't looked into the details but I like this trade on the surface. Two solid professionals added to the locker room will definitely be helpful, not too mention the defensive help.

Haha yeah, you could definitely tell that blog was translated, some of the wording in there is pretty funny.

Yeah it seems like his jumper has regressed throughout the season. A few months back it seemed like he had turned the corner with it but I haven't seen him hit one in what feels like 3-4 weeks.

Hopefully he's cut after Booker and Nene return.

Yeah when he threw up that horrible shot on the second to last possession I almost punted my tv out the window. I think Jordan brings a lot of good things to the table but he needs to be smarter in crunch time.

Agreed, no way Wall should have been pulled, but no way Wall should have been taking the last shot. Wish they would have ran a good play to find Roger Mason for an open look. Oh well, they're still learning.

haha I'm not worried about Singleton, what about Jan?

Wow the first quarter and a half of this first preseason game has been rough.

i'd love to see the Burgundy jerseys more often this year.

obviously....:gaintsuck

i hate how we wear the same unis every week, i want either the burgundy jerseys or the 75th anniversery jerseys.

it was the 70th
