No Excuses

Vince is an expiring contract. Arenas is a perfect fit for Orlando. He's Jameer Nelson on steroids. He does everything Nelson does but much better. Too bad besides Vince's contract, Orlando has nothing to offer us. If we are sending Gilbert away, I'd like to have at least some kind of young talent come back as compensation. JJ Reddick would be nice but Nick Young does everything Reddick does so it's a wash. I would like to see Arenas in Orlando though. I want him to find success in the league once again. He was a dynamic star in DC and he deserves better after being screwed over by the pathetic medical staff.

Ahh didn't notice that ACW posted it himself. I thought Bubble Screen posted it from another thread asking what it meant lol.

WC = Winter Classic. Capitals and Penguins in an open air stadium in Pittsburgh.

I'll be balls deep into final exams but I just might make an exception to beat the **** out of a turd Heat fan. Be nice and wear a LeBron jersey so I have even more motivation to kick the crap out of you.

Hopefully Wall, Howard and Yi are back for the next meeting. Really sucked watching Booker defend Bosh, Blatche being gassed and Hinrich throwing up brick after brick.

Extremely vicious play by Armstrong. I hope the league suspends him for the year. Justice must be served.

Wall will not play. McGee will play but not start. I hope McGee can at least contribute 25 minutes. This is the type of front line he absolutely abuses.

You'll need it.

If there is something that always united Wizards fans, the ones who loved Jamison for his character or the ones who hated him for his lousy defense, the ones who wanted Brendan Haywood to start or the ones who wanted Etan Thomas, the ones who disliked Eddie Jordan or the one who wanted the local good guy to coach this team, there was always the one common denominator that united us all: Our hatred for LeBron. This man cheated us out of the playoffs. He's been the golden child and our franchise had to take the fall for the league's hype machine. You know what's funny is that the only other fan base who saw LeBron for who he was ours and Detroit's. Before the entire league caught on how big of a douche he was, we were the ones fighting the good fight. I really hope that the Wizkids get their first road win. I'd love nothing but to see McGee block LeBron's shot and dunk on him on the other end. **** you LeBron, **** you.

Not gonna lie, I like McD5. He's a troll but he does it in a real nice and respectful manner. He's been trolling hard for years, be it Ladell Betts, Jameer Nelson being a top PG in the league or Orlando being better than the dynasty Bulls. He's a talented troll.

You know what's funny? Wall would be the 2nd best player on Orlando if he was there right now. That shows you how mediocre the rest of the team is after Howard.

Tough loss but great effort tonight. This team is getting better every game.

Dwight is just too big to handle down low. That was unfortunate, we played great defense on that play. Give the ball to Gil and have him attack the rim.

I don't mind buying a whole bunch and you guys can pay me when you get to VC. I'll have to call and make sure they still do the first 100 students get lower level stuff though. I know they did the last two years.

If you show up early to the ticket office, you can get $15 lower level tickets on student nights. I can go get tickets after work, I usually leave my hospital around 1 or 2. VC is only 15 minutes away.

Friday against Portland is student night at VC. We could get something going for that.

I'd have Nick Young's babies. 17 of our last 20 points lol. What a beast.

Gilbert is on fire and Blatche is playing like a moron. Very impressive game by Arenas, Gee, Seraphin and McGee so far. Equally unimpressive game by Blatche and Hinrich. Blatche is playing like a total dumbarse.

I really don't understand the zone as a heavy defensive philosophy. I like it when teams use it sporadically as it can really throw of your opponents. But it seems like Flip thinks every opponent we play is mentally challenged. NBA teams are smart enough that they'll get trapped in your zone for two possessions but then turn around and burn you for the next 10 straight possessions. I really like what Flip has done with some of the player development but his in game coaching leaves a lot to be desired. The heavy use of zone defense and the ridiculous three guard lineup, I really don't get it. We put the team at a serious disadvantage by using the only three players capable of playing point guard on the floor at the same time. There is absolutely no flow to the team when that happens.

We disagree about Blatche but I'm <----> this close to hopping on the haterade regarding Andray. His injury has hampered him a bit but his effort has been a total joke so far. IMO he's the biggest reason why we don't have a winning record right now. If he starts giving a damn again we will be a very good team. It's too bad, I absolutely love his skill set. He has the perfect tools for a modern day PF: excellent passer, good handles, solid face up game and soft touch around the rim. Too bad he plays like he doesn't give a damn.

True that. Throwing some more kool-aid towards the Javelevator, take from another message board: Pretty good company for a 22 year old.

What do you think off Melo? We have the room to add him and still give extensions to McGee and Young I believe. Wall/Hinrich Arenas/Young Anthony/Martin/Gee Blatche/Booker McGee/Seraphin Definitely not a bad fantasy lineup but I'm not sure how it would actually mesh on the court. But still, the thought of a trio of Wall, Anthony and McGee for the next 5-8 years is pretty enticing.

I'm saying it, he'll be the 2nd best center in the league after Dwight Howard. Wall and McGee is going to be an absolutely dominant pairing. I'm loving Nick Young as well. He's finally playing up to his skill set. Scoring the hell out of the ball and using his athleticism on the defensive end. This team is going to be a force one day. Too much skill, too much athleticism. I hate on Ernie a lot, but I think he might have a plan. I'm even getting excited about Trevor Booker. He does little things that are very necessary to have on a winning squad. I'd love to see him develop a three point shot. I think he has the ability, he's shown nice form on his jumper.

Atlanta made a huge mistake in bringing back Joe Johnson. It was a damned if they did, damned if they didn't type of a thing so I don't blame them. IMO they need to make a decision between Josh Smith and Al Horford. Horford is not a C and Smith is not a SF. Both are natural PF's and one has to go. I'd rather let Horford go. I'm getting there. He really stinks it up for the the first three quarters of every game. He showed up again in the fourth but man his defense is horrendous. It's not even that he's incapable of defending, he just looks lazy out there on the defensive end. McGee has another year left after this one. He had a team option that was picked up. BTW, **** Elton Brand. What a loser.

I don't think Noah is what we want Javale to be. For as much defensive potential in McGee, he has that much on the offensive end too. The guy will be impossible to defend if he develops some variety of a hook shot or if he can get a respectable 15 foot jumper which he can use to pump fake. There really isn't a center in the league who can match up with him athletically besides Dwight Howard. That's what I think his potential is. Being the 2nd best center in the league behind DH12. The ability to block, rebound, change shots in the paint, run the fast break, finish around the rim.... McGee has it all. He just needed time and experience and it's all coming together now. Besides Howard, I wouldn't trade McGee for any other center.
