Wall sounds like he's sitting out again. He better not be able to play if it were a playoff game because I would lose all respect for him

The game preview article says he has a swollen knee.

The guy played thru a broken hand, it must be swollen the size of a basketball for him not to be able to go being how important the games are.

Even if we win, they are going to lose one of the remaining games.

Yea, either that or he found out that a Monumental Sports employee admitted on this board that the Wiz management basically sacrificed an entire season of the prime of his career and he's finally doing something about it, i.e., sitting out by choice.

And today there's the SheridanHoops report about EFG maybe not coming back next year…

Either way, this game will just be another reason to #FireEFG.

Ted Leonsis raised ticket prices this season for this team.

Wow...we held them to "only" 39 points in the first quarter.

I guess it's good news but not sure I want another Ferry as GM. Wasn't thrilled with his father and think he's kind of damaged goods.

Does Alan Anderson know its to late for him to play in games, give him his suit and his primary spot at the end of the bench.

Agree. Let Oubre play.

Mentioned Weaver from OKC in that article, along with Scott Brooks as coach. I'm not opposed to either of those two moves.

Man do I miss Ariza and Okafor.

Don't love Brooks. I'd rather have Weaver than Ferry. But with Ted, you just never know. Local guy from DeMatha, father was GM who led the Bullets to only title.

Down by 16 in the middle of the second quarter. An elimination game.

But cheer up guys, Ernie traded away BOTH our first and second round picks in the upcoming draft. So instead of being stuck at home watching the draft on TV -- with an eye toward the Wiz building youth for the future, we can all hit our favorite bar and engage in vodka shots instead.

So there's that.

Dudley is the best player in the league when it comes to fouling to stop the fast break. At least he has that in his arsenal.

Random thought: Jared Dudley was Ernie Grunfeld's big signing in the off season.
