Well this is bizarro world, because one of the least cringeworthy players is now Blatche. I expect his shot to go in now. Congrats A.B.

Yea, Oberto next to Haywood is bad offensivley. I think Fab-O's passing would work much better at Center.

Oberto should only be starting against certain teams, I would like to see Blatche start.

Even off the bench, he's getting ~35 minutes, and he's playing very well, so I'm not sure we should be rocking the Blatche boat either way.

Can't really watch the game, but going by the boxscores, we seem to be playing pretty good, especially our shooting... What do you guys think...???

Beginning of the 2Q: the first double-team Andray has faced in his entire NBA career.

I think even if you zapped away all his other skills, Miller would still be worth having as a rebounding specialist.

If Blatche keeps up his spectacular play this season, crow will be the favorite dish on this board...

I'm shocked that Blatche has becoming the most consistent player on the team. He has a knack for the game and its all finally coming together for the kid. His basketball iq is rising

Mike Miller is an amazing rebounder. I wish he would be more offensively aggressive. His basketball iq is high and he plays hard.


Safe to say Arenas is better than ever. Tonight he is letting the game flow and not forcing things. He is also distributing the ball well.

We are going to have RIDICULOUS depth when Jamison and Butler return. On both ends of the court. Stevenson playing very well, you even saw him running the point with Gilbert off the ball in the first half. If he can get back to being Mr.50 Percent playing next to Gilbert again, he will be very valuable.

Foye and the 2 young big men seem to have very good chemistry.

We looked very niiice in the first half.

Defense. Defense. Defense.

the defense looks so professional, I can't find a better word to describe it. Miller rebounds he might be the best rebounder on the team by position. Haywood's looking for his shot more which not a good thing especially with antawn not out there. I can't wait to see AJ on this team, so Oberto can come off the bench as the C.

OT: Leonsis w/ Ovechkin in the front row? isn't that one of the things we crush Snyder for?

I never thought Miller would be such a passive scorer. Then again, I never thought he'd be such a tenacious rebounder.

Fabricio "Billy Walsh" Oberto plays exactly the way we wished Michael Ruffin could've played. If only that ugly push jumper of his extended out to 18 ft. Right now, he's only good from about 12 ft and in.

Arenas is playing ridiculously efficiently right now.

Blatche is in a zone. He Is my favorite wizards player so I'm glad to see him do well. I was tired of seeing him in all those crappy mock trades on this board.

Arenas is more efficient than ever. In games like this when he already has 30 I would like to see him pass first instead of looking for his shot.

By the way bad call. Blatche did a good job sitting up for the charge

that was the first bad shot I've seen Blatche take this game.
