I'll be there tonight in section 214 with tickets I bought from the Wizards organization a couple of weeks ago. I just went on StubHub last night and bought tickets for Sunday in section 113. I wish I had known you have tickets for sale in section 102. what's the price? i might have a friend who is interested.


I have a pair in row q, seats 9-10 that I am currently listing on NBA.com for 147.50 to me. Actual price
to buyer would obviously be higher going through NBA.com. Buy direct from me and save some fees!

Oh and if you're in 214, my daughter and I usually go say hello to Glen Consor outside of 215/216 at halftime.
I would enjoy meeting you. Anybody with a John Coltrane avatar is good with me and my daughter too for that
matter.

I'll be there.

We'll be about 180 degrees apart from each other. If you look at the platform above the tunnel
where the Wiz players enter/leave I'm just above that platform to the left, right where the stairs zigzag.
Seats 3/4.

PM'd you (KW) and one other interested party.

to quote myself from above re these extra 2 tickets I have

I have a pair in row q, seats 9-10 that I am currently listing on NBA.com for 147.50 to me. Actual price
to buyer would obviously be higher going through NBA.com with all the fees they charge both to buyer as
well as to the seller.

My current position is that I want to hold pretty close to this asking price. We can do a deal away from
NBA.com to reduce costs. If they don't sell by the middle of the day on Sunday, I will definitely reduce
the price. If I still have them.

edit to add - NBA.com fees are really out of hand. A buyer buying my tickets that I get 147.50 each
for will after paying all fees pay around 195 per ticket. But I guess buyers/sellers both like using
the site for the convenience, security and market information available.

Yeah, I usually go straight to Stubhub, but this time I decided to check out the NBA.com site first. I was looking at $150 tickets on NBA.com until I found out they were going to cost around $199 with the NBA.com service charge. Went to Stubhub instead and got basically the same tickets for $158.

These are our 8 best players. Please Witt no more Gooden, Hump has proven to be the best big off the bench. Lets get plenty of Pierce at PF with Otto at SF, especially to end the game. Seraphin should only play if there is foul trouble at center and only get 8 minutes at most.

Hump has unquestionably been a better player than Gooden for most of the season, but I don't think Hump is quite right physically. He hasn't looked the same since coming back from his injury. It may just be a rhythm thing. Whatever the case, I'm not so sure that the Hump of right now is better than Gooden. I think it's close enough that I'll defer to Randy on the decision since he sees them every day in practice.

We shouldn't play Seraphin though.

If you look at the last 5 games of the season for Hump he had a .56 TS%, 17% rebound rate and a low TO rate in 20 mpg. Those numbers are better than his season averages, so even if hes banged up a bit I need to see him out there. Gooden isn't hitting his shot and can't defend Paterson.

And I agree with you on Seraphin, if you could guarantee me he will play as well as he has in the first 2 games, I say continue playing him. Unfortunately consistency isn't his strong suit. I feel we've dodged a bullet so far with him getting as many minutes as he has.

Paul THE TRUTH YODA Pierce

Wall top to bottom .... Best PG in The LEAGUE

http://www.monumentalnetwork.com/videos/paul-pierce-shootaround-4-24-15

Lots of mention of Otto's name. No longer just .. Wall and Beal.. He's always mentioning all 3.. hell once he even said...

Wall, Otto, Beal..

Truth doesn't mix worked. He did that on purpose. That was a shout out to Otto. No only are you in the young 3, I will even list you 2nd.

That some Truth Jedi mind games right there.

Should be fun to see the atmosphere in your building tonight. Is it possible to feel better about your team in their first home game? We've put up such a pathetic fight so far.

Thanks for exposing Casey!

If you guys aren't going to use Hump, we sure as **** could use him for the rest of the series.

Amir Johnson starting..

Saying TOR will run PnR right down the middle to force the Wizards to adjust.

I'm happy with the start. A few missed opportunities inside, but the defense has been on point, Raptors are making contested shots at an unsustainable rate.

I see a lot of open looks by DeRozan. A team that is much quicker with Amir Johnson at the 4. Poor transition defense, esp. with Pierce in there.
