Okay, let's try this again. This time with the Wizards board good luck charm, Ernie Grunfeld, at the top of the game thread.

We suck. Discuss.

Must win game against arch-rival and future shuffle-the deck trade partner Sixers. Key to the game will be the Embiid-Thornton match up. Dobrojim will give a live count of Sixers jerseys in the stands and BigA will report that some season ticket holders were willing to pay you money to take tickets to this game. Sounds like a good deal, but I have to do my nails.

My apathy level has hit a new high. I feel less energy than Jeb Bush.

You are correct, my good man, at the Wells Fargo Center, where I suddenly have an account, for some reason.

For me it's only the irony that keeps me interested -- the fact that these buffoons actually thought they'd put together quite a good team!

Fun fact about Polish.

Jeb Bush stands for, literally, 'F@ck Bush'*.

* Jeb stands for 'you should f#@k' from the vulgar word 'jebac' (to f@#k).

Well when I was in the primary school kids used to call their weennies George (pronounced the same but spelled in Polish way 'dżordż'). I have checked that and it looks like they still use it (http://www.miejski.pl/slowo-D%C5%BCord%C5%BC).

Add the real meaning of 'bush' and it makes them the funniest family ever.

Some says it means dick (I know only one meaning from porn movies but i think there is other like Dick Tracy - just name) but George is real dick. Jeb Bush is classic :-)

I just wanted to say that EG face is so punchable and that smile i can't watch it it's disguisting!

I can't wait to see if we lose to 76ers too. 2-8 is like cold shower for people who thought this season will be better incudinq me.
Gortat shouldn't talk about bench he is a part of problem too. If he would say we got the worst bench thanks to Ernie he would be a hero here at least now he sounds like smart ass throwing teammates under the bus.

Fun fact, the Sixers came within a bucket of beating the Cavs.

Pull Jason Stiff and YMCA out of the rotation they have been nothing but garbage.

Wall
McClellan
Porter
Morris
Gortat

2nd Unit:
Satoransky
Burke
Oubre
Nicholson
House/Ochefu

This game will come down to if the refs are going to call the game tight. If they call it tight, we are doomed. If, for whatever reason, we have to go to our bench to give us more than 16 mins average, we're doomed.

Looking for the W. We need it.

Maybe we should have Gortat write a voter guide for elections.

Epic tank battle. Burke and Smith definitely have their work cut out to keep the tank rolling.

Losing to Philly - at Verizon Center - that could go a long way toward getting Ernie fired. Just sayin.

Sometimes I wonder whether anything at all would get Ernie fired. Even if Ted says, 'well this didn't work', I wonder whether he'd just instruct Ernie to start over.

I.e. would he say to himself that his plan was good (after all, he came up with it - how could it be bad?), but injuries over the years, bad luck with draft picks ("it's all a crap shoot"), etc. derailed that good plan. No one's fault....

I wouldn't be surprised.
