Yup the refs keeping the Heat in the game. Game should be over by now. It's sad how blatant the ref favoritism is in the Nba.

For balance, note the comments by Nuggets fans to the article. Also note the results of the poll that accompanies the article. 65.5% of respondents said to be patient with JaVale. I am still going to give JaVale another couple of years to gauge his development.

Of course the fans are preaching patience, they've been enthralled by his potentials much like Wizards fans were. McGee is still as awful as ever where it matters most.

On the defensive side of the ball.

This is year five of his NBA career, but apart from his improvement on offense, he's still the same guy. If it hasn't sunk in by now it never will.

Watching the Blazers just now, Babbit is stroking it from 3. I'm surprised because his jumper is so flat and stiff looking. You think its just going to bounce off the front of the rim, but it just slides in.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Babbitt is just now getting a few minutes playing time and he expires this year, he could be a Parson's type pick-up in FA.

The Pistons have won 6 of their last 7 games, and Austin Daye is starting to play at a very high level. The Wizards could really use him or Babbitt at SF next season.

Daye is playing so well I think the Pistons might hold on to him and not lose him to free agency. He is a poor man's Kevin Durant.
Bye bye Beal.

Beal should play point with
webster at 2...
Yesley 3 nene and okafor

Bench should be
Temple
Crawford
Martin
Singleton
Seraphin

Yesley should play with nene on court...
Beal need ball handling experience...he wont be the next ray allen but hes looking more eric gordon like...can be the next wade with the right attitude
Crawford plays best with seraphin
the 2nd unit needs more defense so temple should provide that

Webster can be a star if he was more aggressive and shot more...he's shooting 40% from 3
After nene yelled at seraphin...seraphin has really been stepping it up...I think vesely needs that push he looks lost on the court at times and nene can help direct realtime...plus nene assists are usually good looks

Martin can be a belineli type player with more assertiveness
Seems like wizards players are jus nervous to make plays...thats really theyre only problem
Pay your beals....or its lights out!!!
Bron, Bosh, Wade is like Mike, Hakeem, barkley...3 top 5 picks from same draft
mike, hakeem and Barkley on the same team!!!!

I think Webster is fine at 3. What we really need is backcout depth and a stretch PF.

Nice. On a day that Wiz beat OKC

NO takes down SA

Crazy year for the West with LAL and Dallas doing so poorly.

Melo shot 6-26 last night. Impressive display of chucking.

Their schedule is pretty rough this month too, I think they play OKC next.

I hope they don't make the playoffs, I want to see Kobe blow up. And of course all those delicious Laker fanboy tears... mmmmmmmmm really hits the spot!

The Wiz had him in for pre-draft workouts but took Booker. Grevis had a lot of haters on the board at the time, but I always believed he could play at the next level.

Seeing the younger wizards vs the thunder and the rockets play the lakers last night...theyre game looked incredibly similar...they might can be the eastern rockets with defensive stopping power

Beal is no harden but hes getting there...(thunder knows this)
wall and lin is on par (hopefully wall improved jumper)
Webster = parsons (with more experience less confidence)
Seraphin = morris twin (Except softer)
Okafor = asik (oka has way more defense stopping power)
Pay your beals....or its lights out!!!
Bron, Bosh, Wade is like Mike, Hakeem, barkley...3 top 5 picks from same draft
mike, hakeem and Barkley on the same team!!!!

Return to Washington Wizards
