Your post made me remember the Cookie Monster a.k.a. The Rhino a.k.a. Craig Smith. I was wondering where he's playing now and I was surprised he's out of the NBA already :(

Randy Wittman's team is playing above .500 basketball since Wall's return.

The Wizards have gone 11-9 in their past 20 games, claiming wins over Oklahoma City, Denver, New York, Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Clippers. During that stretch, the Wizards are outscoring teams, 95.1-92.1, shooting 46.1 percent from the floor and 40.3 percent from three-point range, and holding opponents to just 42.9 percent shooting.


can you believe that ****? Okafor/Nene frontcourt finally paying dividends too.
Oh, and Martell Webster is starting, playing good defense, and 3rd in the NBA in 3 point percentage and is making a million less than Steamer. OF COURSE

Cookie Rhino is playing in Israel now. I thought he'd have a longer NBA career than that.

No clue. I didn't see much of his NBA career after he was traded to the Clippers. In fact, I think I only saw a total of maybe two minutes of his post-Wolves career.

Big Al trying to beat the Celtics for the first time right now. Commentators calling him their closer and saying that he has to be the guy to beat them. If the wolves cant ever beat the Celtics I hope Al at least does tonight lol.

Look like they are going to botch this.

And Ricky would be a beast. I was imaging him on the Miami Heat. You know how ridiculous that would be? I would be surprised if he didn't average 9APG

Al comes up short against Boston AGAIN. He looks completely dejected.

I can't believe the Wizards are winning as much as they are. Randy Wittman might actually be around for a while at this rate.

I hope we come up with some monster trade so that people will talk about us in a good way.

Sorry, no German will be greater than Dr. Shultz. He has set the gold standard.

He's Austrian, by the way ;)

But this time I'm fine with people confusing an Austrian with a German. Because those sneaky Austrian bastards made the world believe Hitler was German and Beethoven was Austrian.

Who?


A 6'11'' center called Tim Ohlbrecht. Played for the NBDL Vipers which I think is the Rockets farm team. Not that I expect much of him but he's built a decent rep in the NBDL apparently. Whenever he was playing internationally for Germany he had one good game out of five, if not ten.
