I am trying to look and see how the decades of the team compare talentwise. I am basically taking an 8 man rotation from each decade with each player based on his prime years with the team.

G/F Richard Hamilton 20.0/3.4/2.7 43.5/89.0

Interesting idea. Other than starting Adams over Srickland and MJ looking weird in an "All Time Washington" post, I don't have any changes.

At first glance, I'd just say to foul the mess out of the Baltimore Bullets since they can't make any FTs. LOL

no love for bernard king?

(EDIT) - wrong thread

Speculation is that all 3 will play tonight but I'm wondering what the actual odds of that happening are.

Mike Lee's blog said that Antawn was sick last night and would be a game-time decision. Miller said his shoulder still hurts but wants to play. I say give those guys the night off, why make guys play hurt this early in the season.

That 1990s team of disappointment is incomplete without Mitch Richmond.

Changed . . .

How do you think the eras compare in terms of talent?

honestly, I'd put the 80s Bullets with the Malones plus Ruland and King as first, although that combination of players never saw the floor together.
