CHA playing BOS close. CLE plays SAC later tonight. I hear more ping pong balls in our future.

[ChosenSavior]

Well I'm off to go play some real basketball and hope to help my team win to remove this ugly game from my memory...

Everyone take care.

Don't have a night like Afflalo, take care

I hope I don't...

Appreciate it.

So this is what it looks like when a team takes a giant dump on the court.

Nice floater from McLemore

Ish likes losing.

[Def Swami]

Vucevic with 13 and 13. He's currently 4th in the NBA in rebounding. Was averaging 11 rpg before tonight. I'd like to see him finish at the top of the league. That'd be pretty cool.

[NickAnderson]

Come on guys at least we didn't have the worst half in nba history ... 20 pts in the first half for ATL tonight lol

McLemore for 3!!!

McLemore with the steal 10 seconds later.

Is it just me or did Glen Davis look dead emotionally out there? He just didn't look right to me.

Having these two posts adjacent to one another really led my thoughts in an undesirable direction.

Never fun to watch The Magic get blown out but give The Wizards credit they are looking like that team tonight that had those high expectations coming into this season.

They are. Right now if the records were 0-0, I think the Wizards are probably a 4 seed in the east.

Washington stumbled onto finding very effective role players. AJ Price was playing well before he got injured. Ariza started poorly, but also was playing his best when he got injured. Okafor was playing worse than Earl Barron, but for whatever reasons, once Barron was waived Okafor seemed to start string double figure rebound games with solid blocks and good defense. Garrett Temple is a very solid defender. Martell Webster can hit big shots. This kid Beal flipped the switch about two weeks ago. Like night and day, he's confident.

Washington got their injured guys back, and with Wall's return you're going to see both Vesely and Seraphin have an easier time. They can score now. The defense has been really good. Honestly, even when they were 4-28 I thought they were more like a 10-win team just missing players.

I am curious to see what the Wizards do from here on out. They are not a fluke team. I also have a lot of faith in Coach Wittman.

Howard Mass, my question is Wall's knee and whether the Wizards trade for Gay and/or Cousins. Seems to me they should wait and see without doing anything right now.
