Thank you for making the GT. I was worried if I made it, the Wizards would win again! Time to tank! Go Nets!

given the Nets lineup of allstars, should be allstars and HoFers, they should
win every game. Wait, they're 2-2. Go figure.

We need to initiate this year's version of home moxie that we had going
for a good bit during the second half last year. That and Ws might be tough
in OKC and SAN, maybe DAL too. Make hay while the sun shines.

just win baby

keep up that team assist/to and the wins will come.

Reading updates on the Nets, it sounds like their entire team is banged up. Pierce might not play because of an illness, or if he does, question is how effective he will be. AK-47 might start in his place.

KG isn't playing on back to backs.

Williams' minutes are being monitored.

This sounds like a game where the Wizards could run them out of the building.

It's crazy how much more confident you feel going into this caliber of game with a Nene/Gortat frontline.. as opposed to Booker/Nene (and knowing that both Seraphin and Vesely would have to play major minutes)

Isn't FAH1223 supposed to start thread after the win? Wins seem so rare I can't remember proper protocol.

An interesting dynamic for Brooklyn. I believe they play the pacers tomorrow at home. That is somewhat a "statement" game early in the season for them. I could see them resting KG today in effort to preserving him for tomorrow. As they may think they'd be fine without him.

As to the game itself, it is very winnable so long as Deron Williams doesn't go off. I'm not worried about Lopez and Pierce. They have enough deficiencies on the defensive end where they should be exposed. Although Pierce always lights us up :/

Reggie Evans v. Seraphin should be comical on the boards.

Nets are old and slow. Wall should have his way.

Nets aren't banged up at all.

Pierce is playing he just has a cold.

KG is playing and is 100%.

Williams minute limit has all but been removed.

I think Wall will go for 30 points and over 10 asts tonight. Should be a win for the Wizards.

Nets depth should overwhelm us. We have to hope some of their vets decide to take tonight off to focus on Indy tomorrow.

Unfortunatelly B.Lopez will make Gortat own b....tch as usually. Gortat vs B.Lopez or A.Bogut looks like a clown, the same when PHO played with Utah or Denver. Their bigs mentally destroyed him.

I'm proud of Blatche finally having the courage to admit that NBA arenas sometimes get cold and being proactive enough to wear a down vest under his uniform. He's willing to risk people thinking he's out of shape to keep his torso warm and make sure he's able to play at peak level for his team. Big time kudos.
