Uh. Not to split hairs, but aren't we playing the Knicks tonight?

He's out. From Ivan:

The word is that Caron Butler is out for tonight's game against the Knicks. He went through shootaround this morning but apparently was still feeling some stiffness and soreness and the decision was made to hold him out at least one more game. The next game is Friday night at Cleveland (where the Wiz got demolished on their last visit) so maybe two more days will help. Andray Blatche starts for Butler.

Please get DS more shots. He's the only one on the floor who can shoot.

I just don't understand why AD thinks he can shoot.

He can't. So stop taking shots past 5ft. You're going to miss.

Poor, poor quarter. Deshawn 2/3 6 pts, the rest of the team is pitiful.

Our pick and roll defense is absolutely awful with our subs in the game.

Nick with 3 straight jumpers :clap:

edit: Even Dmac hits a jumper. Man our D stinks.

This is bad. The Wiz do realize this is a real game don't they? They are playing with no energy or sense of urgency. The Knicks are out-hustling them.

I refuse to watch Eddie absolutely kill our chances to win. Why mother **** songaila is in the game is amazing. His inability to jump or move has cost us plenty in the paint yet Mr. Jordan feels its necessary to play him over Wood.

He'll never **** learn.

dude, Haywood can't play the entire game relax. You have a bench for a reason.

We don't need him and Jamison sitting out for so long while our scrub bench screws everything up. Playoffs arent a guarantee right now. We need every easy win possible.

Jamison's D is sooooooooooo bad.

D$ is carrying us on offense.

Who is this PA announcer? It's not the same guy that we've had as long as I can remember.

I don't like the new guy....
