Let's go with another quick thread.




This is Joanna, one of the Wizards girls.

Joanna is a graduate of Harvard College (Social Anthropology, minor in Economics.) She's good at photobombing others, likes to eat cheese and considers pandas as her favorite animal.

What: Wizards vs Knicks (home opener)
When: 7:00 p.m. (EDT)
Where: Verizon Center -- Washington, DC
TV: CSN, NBA League Pass, Quasi-legal internet streams
Radio: WNEW 99.1 FM

Go Wizards!!!

I'd like to point out that she went to Harvard COLLEGE aka a school people go to, so they can deceive other people at dinner parties by saying "Yes indeed, I went to Harvard". I HATE being deceived. Needless to say, I would not sleep with this scam artist.

She openly admits to being a lover of cheese.

I think the key to this game is just showing up and puking on New Car Smello

I like seeing so many "Official Threads" on the first page. The orderliness of it pleases my German soul.

Two fluky wins so far, I think it's going to catch up with the Wizards tonight.

Fluky. OK. Did you watch the OKC and Orlando game or highlights last night. Now thats Fluky. I will take any win these days

Either that or the Wizards simply post a convincing win for a change.

I didn't like how we played them in the preseason, but of course, the preseason means exactly bupkis.

New York is going to score. We just can't let them slow us down defensively. There's no excuse not to post 120 points against that defense.

The have the worst defensive guards in the league. I have no idea what to do with Porzingis, though.

I am starting to believe this is going to be the best draft since 2003.

Yep, either or.

Porzingis the night after Antetuokoalabear (sp?) could be painful to watch.

New York has much more quality big depth. Lopez, O'Quinn, Seraphin can each board and push Gortat or Nene.

Carmelo Anthony is capable of dropping forty any night.

However, OTOH, the Wizards cohesiveness is high and the NBA (per usual you're correct, nate33) is perimeter dominated now. If they hit threes they'll force New York to try and match up.

This will be fun to watch. I think I'll watch on my IPhone because Air Force plays Hawaii in NCAA football. Haven't been to a game since 2013, and if I go tickets are half price. I can be just as entertained at home watching the Wizards...#decisions.

The whole NBA is fluky in a good way this season IMO.

There are a ton of good, no, great rookies!

The balance of power is shifting away from traditionally great teams. Orlando has a ton of talent. So does Minnesota. Detroit has great coaching and a very well balanced team with much improved shooting. The Sacramento Kings led Kobe's broken toys Lakers something like 74-40 at halftime.

This is a whole new NBA.

Tonight the Knicks could conceivably outplay and defeat this Wizards team. Or, they could get hammered.

I just wish the Wizards had one Porzingis type player--they'd be a complete, powerhouse team.

Tonight I hope Randy Wittman will free DeJuan Blair.

I'm strong on hyperbole, but this draft could be like 1984. Hall of Famers in this draft. Several.

Sam Smith listed his top ten drafts. I like his perspective and a subjective topic. Fishercob, he ranks 2003 top-7, but dude goes way back ranking drafts Before I Was Born. (!).

Hope this team doubles seraphin in the post every time just for **** and giggles

I think Blair will have a role on this team, but he'll have to be patient. Wittman doesn't like to go 11 or 12 deep in any single game and I understand why. With that many guys rotating in and out, nobody gets into a rhythm.

Blair is going to get opportunities on days that Nene takes off. Ideally, Wittman sits Nene one out of every 5 games or so just to keep him fresh, allowing Blair to get 15-20 minutes of action. Nene is also sure to miss games due to injury.

According to the Post, Randy may miss the game b/c he's going to Flip's funeral today.

That puts everything in perspective.

Makes sense.

If Newman coaches tonight I would wager Blair plays and plays well.

It's great that he can do it. There are things that are more important than this game.

Concur CCJ and krii.

I try not to miss season opening games (they're really fun). But this is Halloween and I have an 8-year-old zombie Princess to take trick-or-treating.

I really hope that the Wiz do something (moment of silence? video tribute?) for Flip tonight. He died so young. Still saddened by it.
