Guys, let's take the trolling to the troll thread. This thread is about legitimate basketball analysis.

I LOL at your high expectations of ***Deleted. Let's keep the trolling and insults in the trolling thread. -nate33 *** fans.

I think Canadians are too polite to understand good natured ribbing.

To be fair, it was our fans that started trolling on this thread. Raptors fans only responded. I'm in favor of good trolling, just take it to the other thread.

Would be a fun game. Tension in the air I expect lot of referee blaming today. Wouldn't be surprised if the foul column will be in favour of Raptors.

But whatever.. SMASH THEM HARD. This gonna get ugly at some point. Nene/Pierce stay cool

[Zonkerbl]

I want a pony for xmas!

We barely beat Indiana's D-league team so I expect us to come out for this one fully prepared. Especially Pierce who shouldn't have two straight clunkers.

What bothers me is that we'll probably continue with Gooden and Seraphin as our reserve bigs which is going to start costing us. Blair and Humphries are just waiting for their names to be called and yet they're getting beaten out by two guys who can't rebound or defend worth a damn.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we gave Hump or Blair a chance to match up w/ Amir. I certainly don't trust Seraphin to keep him off the boards.

Everyone (Raps and Wiz fans) needs to stop acting like this is game 7 of the NBA finals or something. The winner of this game doesn't really determine who the better team is, its a long season.

Anyways, there hasn't been any confirmation that JV and Amir are back I believe, so I'm hoping they are. Looking forward to this though, should be a good game. Good luck guys.

I'm really struggling to decipher between the fun loving trolls and the clowns who take all this too seriously, but it's entertaining to read nonetheless. Looking forward to a good game tonight. Two promising teams atop the EC very early duke it out in the first of a series of great games throughout the season.

On a positive note, I'm slowly convincing the wife to be a 'Zards fan, and she generally hates sports. So don't let me down tonight guys!

The winner will be tied for the lead of the Eastern Conference(the Bulls are playing the Sixers, so they will be 5-1).

Anyways, there hasn't been any confirmation that JV and Amir are back I believe, so I'm hoping they are. Looking forward to this though, should be a good game. Good luck guys.

It should be a good game, and it wouldn't be suprising to see the teams neck-and-neck for play-off positioning the whole season.

Lets not!!! I am not going there.

Nate - thanks for trying to keep order.

Doc, if you read this....drop us a missive about how to "troll" well.

For those who are wanting to engage in a good-natured back-and-forth, here's how to react when somebody gets too serious. I'm stealing this from the Raptors board b/c it was good.

I think one of Wizards board members posting something that lacked humor. Instead of getting mad, a Raptor board posted a .gif of Jennifer Lawrence totally dismissing somebody.

THAT is how to do it (and was brilliant).

As Nate says, this is not the trolling thread. Go at it at the trolling threads. Make it funny and witty.

Welcome Canada! For the purposes of politics and international relations and the labor of your talented exported comedians and all, we appreciate you. We're working hard to forgive you for Justin Bieber but we're big hearted and will eventually get over that, we've tolerated worse from our own.

For the purpose of discussing basketball, and analysis of the game: YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT THREAD. We welcome dissenting opinions and will even appreciate you and congratulate you for cogent analysis and breakdowns of strengths, weaknesses, coaching styles etc of your team, and will answer with informative analysis of our own squad.

For the purpose of being moose-osexuals who are overly polite and are still unsure what your national language is, PLEASE RESPOND IN THE TROLLS THREAD. There you will be applauded if you can be witty and smart and funny and even mean-spirited in a good natured way. If you HAVE to be stupid, well alright better to do it there so we can roundly mock you and not derail more serious conversation. But if you manage to be funny and score points you will rack up And1s to smuggle back over the border tax free thanks to NAFTA.

Welcome friends!

I doubt Blair will play. Randy likes Seraphin better. Humphries clearly should have taken more time to get healthy.

I expect Seraphin will play around 15 minutes.

Hello Wizards fans.....


Is Nene, and Beal playing tonight?

Looks like Val, and Amir might be out for us. I was hoping to see 2 healthy teams go at it.

Nene playing. Beal is out for a few more weeks.

Amir Johnson has been a bit of a Wizards killer in the past. Not wishing anything bad on the dude, but honestly I hope he's not playing tonight.

Thank you doc.

I'm very sorry, Nate.

We really need at least one of our starting bigs. Preferably both....

I mean, you can get by with a Jonas, Patterson, Hans big man rotation. At least those guys can play basketball (even though defense is way worse without Amir). But, if both starters are gone and you have to start playing guys like Chuck Hayes, and Stiesma big minutes you are gonna have some problems.
