Official Thread: Preseason Wizards vs Heat (10/4/16)

Post #1 » by **pineappleheadindc** » Tue Oct 4, 2016 3:26 am

.
The preseason is here with the first Wizards preseason game. John Wall is sitting with Trey Burke starting at the 1.

It's on TV, so let's get a number of people away from the potentially scintillating televised Vice Presidential debate and get behind the good guys. Would be nice to see folks like posting during the game.

Drop your thoughts, opinions and predictions here.

What: Wizards vs Heat
Where: Verizon Center -- Washington, DC
When: 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time
TV: Comcast Sportsnet

Pine. I thought you dropped the Wiz to spend more time following professional lady arm wrestling

Don't have a TV yet in my new place, you folks are gonna have to tell me how amazing Burke looks!!!!

Yeah, I dropped TV also - and don't look to get it back. I hadn't watched any TV since the last Wizard game last year. Any (legal) way to watch the games?

I've been watching some preseason games on NBA TV and just yearning for the start of... something! Lets hope it's real fun to watch our guys, not just fun to be right about what an idiotic pair of tweedledee and dum Ted and Ernie are.

Beal still can't shoot for sh*t. Awesome.

Whiteside loves playing us. He owns Gortat

I pretty much expect this to be the product you'll see on the court this year. I feel bad for the people who actually spend money on the wizards.

Sato is destroying Waiters. lmao.

Smith and Burke are so trash. I would rather have McClellan and Ochefu guarenteed on the roster.

Happy to see Briante Weber getting some action. Such a heartbreaking ending to a terrific college career.

How has Smith and Burke been trash?

sato needs to play 20-25 a night. He's already our third best guard.

These are the kinds of matchups where having a backup C as good as Ian will actually benefit us.

Meanwhile: is Haslem really the Heat's backup C? Or is someone besides Bosh hurt?

Pretty much, i'm stunned actually. He doesn't even remotely look like he doesn't belong. He looks just like he did at Barca. That oop would have brought the house down. I really don't see what Burke brings to the roster even more now, he's a kind of guy that needs the ball in his hands to be effective.

**** sandwich.

Sato's legit. Each and every other acquisition is an absolute scrub. Smith and Nicolson are downright embarrassing.

JWizmentality · Post #19 » by **JWizmentality** » Wed Oct 5, 2016 12:10 am

Not going to fret too much with Wall out. Really impressed with Sato but not quite ready to get on that wagon yet. We are really going to miss Sessions. Burke hasn't been horrible, but he provides nothing.

Sluggerface · Post #20 » by **Sluggerface** » Wed Oct 5, 2016 12:23 am

Any excitement I'm feeling for Satoransky right now is being instantly nullied by the realization that this team is paying 14 mil this year for Nicholson, Burke, and Smith.

Who will prevail?
