Add Webster to that and it goes up even more (on a smaller sample size).

Now we are questioning whether we will get laid in this instance because she's turned us down the last few times.. But we know eventually she has to because we are better than her. This time we are going to put the boat in motor city, the D in detroit. We going to get laid in detroit we got a secret weapon with us and that is the polish hammer.. and I know many of you are saying ( nate/hands/nivek/ccj/gog) isn't that a rufie? Yes and no..

The point is we are going to get laid in detroit and you can take that to the bank (ruptcy)

our road record since ...forever is not an encouraging sign. Our inability to beat
DET at all recently is also not encouraging. I would like to think we are a better
team but I'm gonna be from Missouri on this one. Show me!

why that's almost 70%.

I keep trying to remind myself of this and raise my win prediction but I just
can't bring myself to go over 50.

My God we are a depressing bunch, but experience keeps proving us right.

The Pistons and the Spurs are two teams that I can always bet on the Wiz to lose too. If we beat any of those teams on the road, then I'll start believing EC semifinals is achievable. That being said, Go Wiz!!!

P.S. Am I the only one who felt like this offseason lasted for a decade?

Now that you mention it, it does seem like forever since the Wizards last played. Although, it seemed like Comcast televised summer league and preseason less than previous years. Also, I usually go to training camp when fans are allowed but didn't go this year, so maybe that also had something to do with it.

Either way, it just feels like the season opener really snuck up on me this year, and I don't usually feel like that. (Which reminds, need to stop off on the way home for wings and beer...)

You're right about Comcast. Their coverage of the Wiz is really pathetic. From the "analysts", replays, commercials...everything about their broadcast is amateur.

Marcin Gortat Shootaround - 10/30/13
http://www.monumentalnetwork.com/videos ... d-10-30-13

Courtside Report - Nene 10/30/13
http://www.monumentalnetwork.com/videos ... e-10-30-13

Nene and Gortat are connecting right away. Both are real happy to be playing together.

Bradley Beal Shootaround - 10/30/13
http://www.monumentalnetwork.com/videos ... d-10-30-13

Wall, Beal, Trevor A, Nene and Gortat is pretty interesting line up.

-Post points
-Size
-Post passing
-Rebounding
-Pretty mobile
-Some power and length
- Shot blocking

Then you have Wall and Beal as the guards

-Shooting
-Speed and passing
-Driving
-Dunking
-Defense

And Trevor A
- Championship experience
- Great D
- Corner three

That's not bad at all.

Then to have AH and Webster of the bench. Thats 7 deep right there before the start tapping the potential of the other younger players off the bench and Maynor.

Who wins?
