Underachieving. The Washington Wizards. The Chicago Bulls. Two teams who started the season with high expectations, and have instead provided their respective fan bases with a miserable season experience. Knowing you have a bad team sucks (Sixers). Knowing you have a pretty good team is nice (Boston, Toronto). Knowing you have a contender is great (Warriors, Spurs). Knowing you have a team with a chance is pretty cool (OKC, Clippers, Cavs). Knowing you have a team building something has its moments (Timberwolves, Blazers, Pistons). Not knowing what the hell you have or where you’re going? That’s just constant misery and despair. Even the fleeting moments of joy only serve to remind you that you’re headed for a dead end at the end.

I planned to bet alot of money tonight since Beal is playing and starting only to see that we are favored by 5 with Rose and Butler back. That through me off

Wasnt Gortat the one who made a big deal about players being able to play thru pain. Take some max strength advil and get in there.

Aaaah I can't see what's going on. I'm in my car and gamecast is broken.

Temple brought his jumper today.

Hickson ain't shy. Sheesh.

Are they not going to guard McDermott tonight? Is that their plan?

Beal is awful on both ends of the floor!

so Beal goes to the bench and the Wizards go up by 6? I wonder why?
If Temple is making his 3s, just leave Beal on the bench.

Oh wait, I was on game thread duty, ah, who cares.

GOAT Temple.

Atlanta/Detroit are close. Go Atlanta!

When Temple and Porter are both hitting from 3 (aka "when Mars, Venus, and the moon are in alignment"), we're actually a dangerous team.

Ooh. I wonder if they'll call a flagrant on that one.

Couple of bad plays by Wall - sheesh

Yeah, a Flagrant 1. It was deserved: you can't do a running bulldog on a guy and not get the flagrant call.

You are up by 17 and can bury them and then Wall kind of lets up. And then the rest of the team gets sloppy.

Meanwhile, Jamison's pulling the "back in my day, the game was much more physical" card. Please. What does Jamison know about physicality? His entire offensive game was predicated on his allergic reactions to physical contact. He wasn't exactly an enforcer on the other end, either.

Was out to dinner tonight. Just in to see that the Wiz are up.

Let's go Wizards!!!

He IS playing through pain.

How many games has Gortat missed this season?
