The Amazingly Sucky Game Thread -Wiz vs Bucks 11/5 8 Eastern 

Post#1 » by bulletproof_32 » Wed Nov 5, 2008 9:29 pm

No pictures, no gimmicks. Just wins (and by wins I mean 1) Wiz win and 2) Caron doesn't get hurt during a game in Milwaukee).

Oh, for all those wannabe game thread makers lining up in JWiz's thread, fear not my friends. I plan on going out on top and am going to buck tradition and retire from game thread making after this victory.

Discuss.

W. Unseld, is this the type of thread you had in mind when you (mistakenly?) posted your request in the politics thread?

Milwaukee is a jump-shooting team. If they hit their jumpers, they will win. If they don't, they will lose. It's time for Stevenson to make up for his lackluster defensive effort on Hamilton by shutting down Redd. I'd also like to see Jamison score in the post.

Unlike the majority of the board I am pretty excited for this game. This is clearly a winnable game and as an added bonus we should get to see McGee get some burn tonight. I'm looking for a big/injury free game from Caron and solid/smart play from Blatche tonight also.

look forward to Nick young punishing michael redd. Just like I said last year Young is the third generation of grunfeld guard picks. Gil ( from another team), Redd from the draft ( where grunfeld gave away ray Allen) and Young. Young has more size and pure skill. He showed beginnings of punishing redd last year. Look forward to more of the same.

Redd and Jefferson will probably own us. Looks like another loss although it might be a close game.

Last I heard Redd was a game time decision, does anyone know for sure if he is playing?

Redd himself has said that his chances of playing are "not good".

Well then, I guess we'll find out tonight if this years version of the Wizards likes to lose to teams missing their best player as much as we did last year.

Actually 'proof, I was kind of hoping for some cheerleader pics, I don't know whether or not that would be a good thing w/Milwaukee (Bucks' fans, what's the verdict?)

As long as the Wiz win I will forgive the lack of cheerleaders...this time.
