Saw this and liked it...nothing crazy going on.

Jordan said he made the decision to go with Blatche after the first quarter.

"He gave us a little extra hop," Jordan said. "Brendan can't be an all-star every night, but [Saturday night] we're expecting him to be one again. I thought he did a good job when we played in Boston."

Solid record guys

You have a good team without Gilbert Arenas. The Wiz should probably trade him. There are a number of players being mention in trade rumors(Marion, Gasol etc).

I'm goin' tonight

anybody for a meetup at DA-RFDs?

I might be down earlier...there a motorcycle show in town.

no predictions on this one.

BOS is obviously incredibly good this year to date.
But if CHA can beat them, anything is possible.

Could we forfeit?

Sadly enough, we just don't have the firepower to beat upper tier teams. We'll probably play them tough for a couple of quarters but their star power will eventually take over.

All we can hope for is an off night from at least 2 of the big 3, while Caron and Antawn both have huge nights AND our supporting cast all play well.

We suck against good teams. I would be satisfied if we played hard and lost by single digits. I just hope we don't freak out and play reckless like we tend to do against better competition (See: Houston game).

Boston 102 Washington 88

They beat who they're supposed to beat. They haven't beat anybody good since the Dallas game, unfortunately.

The great news is they beat ATL, so even if Boston crushes them twice they'll still be .500.

I don't think the Wizards will be allowed to play the type of stellar defense they played down the stretch at ATL, even in Verizon. They won't just have to beat the Cs, they'll have the zebras doing what they've done every time the Wizards play a good team. Wizards won't get the calls.

I think the hope for Washington is that they've got three 7 footers (Blatche played like one yesterday!) and Jamison is all over the glass.

I truly think Washington has the size to give KG a tough time of things, but Boston's probably just way too good to beat right now.

If they win tonight, I believe they set the record for best start in Celtics history.

They'll do something teams with Russell, Cousy, Havlicek, Bird, McHale, and Parish never did.

Wonder if the Celtics will be up for the game?

I won't be disappointed too much if we lose

what is really going to piss me off though is too many
people wearing way too much green. These type of behavior
needs to be discouraged in the strongest terms. Let them
travel to some other city to root for the bad guys. Not in
our gym!

bandwagoneers suck

^^^ Doesn't help that a majority of our fans suck and are nothing but businessmen who probably don't give a crap about our team.

If only all NBA fans could be like Warriors fans. They are rowdy and come out in droves (even when the team sucked and wasn't fun to watch).

Haywood will have a real good game tonight. He'll probably have a solid double double. He is a better center then Kendrick Perkins.

Wiz win 84 - 82.

CBut gets 30. Bet the mortgage on it!

Part 1 of a 2 parter.....may the best team win, both teams go home in one piece. C's want this one due to the best start in C's history, this should be a barn burner.

Wiz win, Bulter drops 40+ and GW.

Remember to stop by the chat, everyone.

Unfortunately for me, my laptop is down for the count and I have to post on Ipod touch (no chat).
