Heard they are averaging like 105 pts a game since Nene started coming off the bench.

Thats SA, MIA, LAC type points.

They currently have the 12th best winning percentage in the league. But it by a slim margin. Just a 1/2 game over MIN, TOR and and NO and 1 game over DEN

To get to 11th they need to chase down ATL how has a 2 game lead on them being 4 games over .500

Last year they end the year ranked 23rd last year.

Just sayin.....

How stupid we are for waiving him

I thought the fact the Wizards gave Phoenix the 1st round pick surely would have moved them to at least explore whether the young PG had game. Many on this board said Marshall couldn't play and they were fine with him being waived before ever getting a chance as a Wizard.

I'll take him over Fart Maynor and Temple now CCJ, we should've gave him and Shannon Brown a serious chance to make the team. Brown is reckless but he can create his own shot

Unrational blind confidence. Its a wonderful thing.

Hey, if they win this one, that going to be a huge win. A real statement game. Back to back against DET is nice, but follow that up with a win against a very good Dallas team, now that would be HUGE.

Specially to get over .500 and start to case down ATL.

Hey, we keep talking about 2016. What if they can get Milsap that year ?
Man, Horford getting injured is terrible for them. They have a nice roster put together before that. An old Elton Brand is not Al Horford. Man... Microwave Mack is getting 22 minutes a game for them. Good for him the way he bounced around the league.

Part of me thinks Jan should start simply for his superior length against Dirk, but you can bet he'd bite on a bunch of pump fakes and foul out in like 9 minutes.

Let's go Wizards!

Dallas on the end of a 3 game road trip. Hopefully that helps some.

Wizards coming back home after beating DET back to back and on a 5-1 run.

If they are going to do this, it doesn't get set up much nicer then that.

question 1 - can John Wall be the best player on the court tonight?

question 2 - can Kevin Seraphin avoid giving up a 7 point possession?

Wiz need some home court mojo this month. Lots of home games but
some tough ones beginning tonight.

We're playing at home - must win.

People are saying that the MRI is precautionary. I also wouldn't be surprised if George starts if Irving is injured since the fans have also voted Anthony ahead of George.

the all star game is different this year. Its no more 2 guards, 2 forwards, and a center. now its 2 backcourt and 3 frontcourt. Meaning Lebron, Melo, and George will start anyways. There will be no center

It looked like Gortat stepped on Dirks foot. Its an ultimate jinx. We would win with Dirk and now lose without him...lol

That was quick Gortat

You know I don't pull punches, CCJ, so I'm not going to here. It's BS to criticize anyone here about Marshall. He stunk in the NBA, he stunk in Summer League, and he stunk in training camp for Phoenix. Phoenix fans said they didn't want him back. The Wiz traded for him and Shannon Brown only because that made the trade workable under the cap. And every roster spot was already taken, so there was no possibility either could play themselves on the team - especially with the trade what - 1 day before the season started? You were equally critical about the Wiz not keeping Brown. Who's picked him up? Before the draft a few years ago, you said Machado would be a better pro than Marshall. What's he done as a pro? Marshall may or may not make it - he still hasn't really proven anything.

@BenStandig: Absolutely love Witt bringing in Seraphin rather than Nene after Gortat gets 2nd PF. Don't mess with the Brazilian big man's minutes/role.

was just tweeted

God, Booker is horrible offensively.

hands11 · Post #36 » by **hands11** » Wed Jan 1, 2014 11:26 pm

Wow. Interesting game so far.

Dirk out in the first minute after twisting his ankle on Wall foot.
Gortat with to quick fouls.

dlts20 · Post #37 » by **dlts20** » Wed Jan 1, 2014 11:27 pm

I hate Dirk. The ultimate momentum shift. He's like Willis Reed coming back out......lol

Our guys relaxed and thought it was going to be an easy win while there guys gave up. Now its switched. Im exaggerating ofcouse but not really......lol

we are getting our chances... some of the chippies are falling

dlts20 · Post #39 » by **dlts20** » Wed Jan 1, 2014 11:29 pm

our rim has a lid on it and we dont look all the way focused. KS not making the extra pass while Book's hands are still terrible

JWizmentality · Post #40 » by **JWizmentality** » Wed Jan 1, 2014 11:29 pm

Nene off the bench may help a lot but Booker is just not a NBA starter.
