We all wanted Gil to play, I know he is still months away from being 100%. Lets hope he did not hurt himself for the 3rd time.

Forget this game. We need to think about the future
of this franchise.

Anybody think Gil wants in on Game 6?

Definitely some weirdness going on between Gil and Jordan. First he comes back against the Bucks and does not tell him that he planned on playing. Tonight Gil does not even have courtesy to tell his coach that he is not playing.

I'm not a huge EJ supporter but I can't condone this kind of behavior from our "superstar". As much as I like Gil i don't know if we should be giving him a ton of money when players like Jamison and Caron are much better cornerstones. We'll see how this all plays out...

Gil probably just found out right there and then in shoot around that he could not go. Either way, the Wizards win the game, so it's all good.

True, everyone always tries to blow something up.

STOP ASSuming.

All I know is he got some pretty good elevation and acceleration at the end of the game for a guy who couldn't suit up to play with a bum knee. To be fair he did favor it a bit after he landed, but when you know you're hurt bad enough, you don't even think about putting yourself at greater risk with shenanigans like that.

I don't see what the point of playing Antonio Daniels is. He's god awful right now. He reminds me a lot of Eric Snow.

Why not try a radical change in trying Nick Young a little bit off the bench and starting Roger Mason Jr.? or you could start Nick Young, have Caron handle the rock in the half court RMJ can come in off the bench handling the rock some.

Daniels is playing 20minutes per game and I fail to see what positives he brings during those 20 minutes.

I guess this was posted before game 5.

Well, GA is what he is. We know that. But I can see his struggles.

I'm sure his head is spinning a little. He went from a humble likable guy who was a 2nd round draft choice that he perceived as a diss to
Agent 0/Hibatchi star, to an MVP candidate who owned DC playing a wide open Giberology game. He got on the cover of video game boxes and started doing national commercials and got paid. Then he got injured.

In that time the team gelled as CB arrived big time on the seen as a humble, tough, focused leader who can make clutch shots while playing a balanced team game of pts, reb, assists and steals. And before his injury, CB was a top 10 MVP candidate, he made the All Star team 2 times a row and was one of 3 players who posted 20+ pts, 7 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals. The others being Kobe and Lebron

CB is a mature 28 year old star 1st round draft choice 10 th pick who is coming into his own and ready to be a super star and lead this team.

GA is an 26 year old young man with tons of talent whos world have been turned upside down. It's time for GA to take the next step in maturity and put it all together.

If if can, the combination of the 2 could be very dangerous. Specially when you add the talent of BH, NY, AB and AJ.

But the days of GA just being GA and playing ball with a Gibertology approach are gone. At least in DC they are. So it's up to GA what he does next. Does he want to be the Gilberolgy Gil on another team or does he want to be a part of something special here.

Hands, now that was a well written analysis without a single "as I was saying...."

If Gil could just take some of Caron's "I'm going to let the game come to me" approach, and Caron could snag a little of Gil's "I'm going to take the game by the throat an make it mine" approach.....well, that would be kinda fun, wouldn't it.
