Note: 8PM start time.

A battle of YoungCore bands at VC tonight. During the game, please refer to all players using nicknames you made up on the spot. It will facilitate in-game analysis.

Key matchup: Who Still Thinks the Wizards Should Have Picked Noel? vs Dark Helmet, two skinny guys meeting out of position to say, "POW!"

Go Wiz!

MB'd is out again just like last time, but we got Bamboo Shoots And Scores playing, so hopefully that pushes us into the win column. The Physical Obstruction Mexico Won't Pay For was dinged up in the Boston game but it sounds like he won't miss this game due to injury. The Wiz are currently favored by 9.5 points, you'd of thought the odds makers would of leaned by now.

The Wizards simply MUST do better at taking advantage of weak teams in the schedule. They would be in much better position if they managed to take care of business against Miami, Dallas, and Philly earlier this year.

You guys should take this easy w/ no Embiid. Watch out for insane chants. Theres goona be a ton of sixers fans attending since "Bus the Process" is happening.

Read on Twitter

Not looking forward to the next couple weeks. If his stats suffer, it will legitimately impact the team's future. If his stats fall, the lower the chances he makes an All-NBA team, and the lower the chance we can resign him.

Oh... well done!!!

The problem is that we start The Bong at 4, and we can't count on Chief Standing Water to produce behind him. Unless The Young & the Restless has his best game since the concussion there's a chance of trouble. Now if I'm Just Behind Mr. Irrelevant In Case You Want To Know has a good game that could get us home.

Would it help to have Man How Am I Ever Going To Spend All This Money? Sure it would, but we don't. & obviously nothing is going to come from Forget About Us # 1 or Forget About Us #2.

I'm counting on a huge game from Picked Way Too High. He's had one already, so why not another? & don't forget about Sheep In GOAT Clothing.

In short, it'll take a tall tale for either team to win. Nat's already got his fangs out for Coach Never Let The Left Hand Know When The Right Hand's Crossing Over. Either way it'll be his fault (unless we win). Especially if he plays Give Me My Feather If You Want Me To Fly even one minute. Right?

Well the refs are off to a good start

Wall with a horrible shot.

Sixers look like they are going to win this game. They have all their fans there. Wiz don't care. John just throwing up shots with a hand in his face with a bad pinkie and wrist. Gortat out early with two fouls.

80sballboy · Post #11 » by **80sballboy** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:22 am

Jason Smith is like wtf am I playing this early.

dangermouse · Post #12 » by **dangermouse** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:26 am

Boy i wish we had Ilyasova instead of Kieff

Meliorus · Post #13 » by **Meliorus** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:26 am

This is hilarious. 24 points allowed to a 76ers team on the 2nd of a back to back. :lol:

Post #14 » by **nate33** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:26 am

Man this team is tough to watch sometimes. They're just terrible against bad teams.

Smart strategy from PHI: they targeted Gortat almost every time down the floor until he picked up two fouls. If they can get Smith or Morris into foul trouble as well (which is likely), we'll be forced to rely on the likes of Uncle Denzel and Ochefu.

This feels like a loss

queridiculo · Post #17 » by **queridiculo** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:27 am

Home game for the Sixers, chalk up another loss against the dreck of this league.

80sballboy · Post #18 » by **80sballboy** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:27 am

Wall shouldn't be in there but I guess a 50% Wall is better than Trey Burke and Sato.

Post #19 » by **nate33** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:28 am

Somebody needs to teach our guards how to box out if the plan is to switch every screen. Beal just let Illyasova push him right under the basket. Hold your ground!

Meliorus · Post #20 » by **Meliorus** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:29 am

Man Markieff is such a useless player.
