Way to lose to Washington without Caron Butler and Arenas

I'm afraid this Wizards team just won't go away.

I am incredibly surprised at how well the Wizards are playing without Arenas [not that I rate him THAT much].

But yup results can go any which way, otherwise whats the point of playing a league, might aswell get Stern to hand the 'ship to his favorite franchise on Nov 1st every year :P

Could you imagine the meltdown if it was us that lost to them?

*pictures buc80 saying that he was right, we are an overachieving lottery team*

That's the difference between Wizards and us.

Even without Arenas, Butler & Jamison they still have a decent team. Take out Dwight, Hedo, Shard and this team would lose every game, let alone win against Toronto lol.

Good way for Washington to redeem themselves.

Anyone remember when Michael Ruffin threw the ball up before the clock ran out and mopete caught it and hit the three to force OT?

That had to be a depressing moment for them.

Still, the division is Orlando's this year.

Bolded are rookies.

How games do you think that this roster would win?

Last night Jamison scored 24 points and had 20 boards. If they didn't have him, they would have lost. Just if you took the 3 primary Magic players.
