Tough way to end a really fun season. Have to say Skins Nation stepped up yesterday, the atmosphere at FedEx was awesome. Unfortunate we just didn't have the horses to keep up with the Pack.

Indian Pacers in Boston vs the Cs. They're wearing their Hickory Huskers uniform (a la "Hoosiers"). I hate to admit it, but I really like them. Sencond fave uni next to the Warriors "The City" uniforms.

Dear lord my eyes! Those things are hideous, can't get over the shiny shorts.

Reminds me of my junior college days when our teams budget was so low that we had to buy our own shorts.

Just as I tune in to take a look at the uniforms, three straight steals by the Celtics to take the lead.

Hickory (Pacers) literally *trying* to throw the game away.

Comedy of errors, how do you throw the game away with 4 turnovers for fast break points in 5 possessions?

Yeah, you constantly see the guy who gets the benefit of the terrible call miss his first foul shot. Not sure if the cause is guilt. Maybe the basketball gods intervene, but you can't show that in a scientific study.

If they're sure about the cause, they should follow up with a study on the soulless players who make the foul shots. See if - in fact - they are sociopaths. cough*Lebron*cough*Harden*cough

I'd guess it depends on the player. Some have no conscience - at least when it comes to foul calls. Players like Harden make their living on bad foul calls.

The Wiz Jazz game should be moved to noon Friday.

Game gets played, Jazz would have enough time to get out, and so would the fans.

Jazz play the Nets tomorrow I think. If I had to guess, I'd be pretty surprised if we have a game on Saturday. Little mini break for Wall though

Bought a laptop that I've been TRYING to get set up today. For something that's supposed to make everything easier, Windows 10 sure doesn't make stuff easy. Can't get logged into Twitter on the "live" tile. Can't get anything to download from their store -- a problem I've never had at the Apple store. On the bright side, the One Drive seems spiffy.

I'd take Blatt over Wittman. But we'd need a better GM as well.

Agreed. I think Wittman(and a lot of NBA coaches) are average or very close to it. I think Blatt might have the ability to be a great coach.

DC Restaurant Week ends on Sunday, Januaary 31st. If you're a big fan of Hill Country BBQ i the Penn Quarter, you owe it to yourself to hit them up tomorrow night. It's qall you can eat brisket (including the most brisket), ribs, chicken, and any and all sides. Plus a mixed drink, beer or wine. Plus dessert. $35/head. Highly recomended. I've eaten more meat in one night than I have the rest of the month.

Go get 'em guys.

Are we doing that Wizboard RealGM 2016 Draft Party?

Post #420 » by **Zonkerbl** » Mon Feb 1, 2016 11:23 pm

So I was riding my bikeshare over the 11th st bridge when this dude stops me and asks me to call this girl's number for him. There's no signal on the bridge and the call doesn't go through. So then the guy tells me to call 911 because he's going to throw himself off the bridge. Then he climbs over the rail and fastens his belt around it and sits and waits for the cops to get there.
Once the cops got there I took off so I don't know how it turned out. Dude was smiling the whole time so ... it was weird.
Was it bad that I took off?
