omg maybe I should start paying attention to wizards again!

Never thought of myself as a fair weather fan. I guess anything is possible.

Not to sound negative, but Keiff (4 of 12) is leading the team in shot attempts while having zero assists - and everyone else making at least half their shots.

There are 2 reasons Kief has the most shots for the Wiz:
1. when he plays with the bench unit he is the focus on offense and gets the most looks
2. when he plays with the starters the Pels have chosen to defend Wall/Beal/Porter/Gortat over defending Morris giving Morris more decent looks. Unfortunately he isn't making those shots this game.

Agreed.

Morris isn't forcing bad shots when he's out there with the starters. He's making the one-on-one moves as a primary option on the 2nd unit. I don't have a problem with his shot selection tonight.

Good call by both of you. The Wiz offense got Keiff good looks all game, and he hit a couple big ones in the 4th. As long as he sticks to his role, I can't complain.

This song Was/Is my fav song ---> reminds me the best time of my life... I didn't deserve for your attention. But tell ya one thing for those months here I was happy "talking" with ya all and for a moment forget on my problems. Thanks for that for You all.

Watch on YouTube

It's funny when You think I should be dead 15 years ago when doctors bring me to live I spent months on rehabilitaion, so many pain for vain... Now I wanna die. I am here without money and hope for better tommorow. Depression, illness and dephts I can't handle that anymore.

Tricky Kid,

About 4 months ago I PRAYED to God for Him to end my life (if things didn't get better). I was truly tired of the same old with all the mounting problems. He has other plans.

To make a long story short, I've been divorced twice. I've had two sets of kids taken away by family court. I'm literally tens if not a hundred thousand plus in debt. I have a mental health disability that has greatly reduced my effectiveness. Almost three years ago I was falsely accused of a felony that could have landed me in jail 10 years. (The lies cost my reputation, custody of my kids, access to military facilities, and my part time gig as a substitute teacher. Plus legal fees and tons of court appearances). A few months later, my Dad, who I was very close to died. I haven't seen my two youngest sons in three years. I haven't seen my other stepson (who I raised as my own) in about 6 or 7 years. My oldest sort of distanced herself and stopped speaking 3 years ago. She GRADUATED college and didn't tell me. Oh, and then there's the debts pending eviction ... whatever.

I say all that to say I know what being alone is. LITERALLY, I'm on this island by myself. One month I was so broke I didn't have toothpaste or deodorant. (I post mostly from public libraries, which are free. My cell phone? I try and keep a cheap data plan).

Worst of all is the betrayals and the illness that has impacted my life a lot. Just had a disability meeting ...

WHY DO I SHARE THIS WITH THE WORLD?

God is good all the time. There are people worse off. My life matters a bunch. When I've been at my LOWEST I've been sustained by the love and prayers and kindness of strangers.

DUDE: HANG IN THERE! It might not get better. Probably will, I think. Change is the only certainty. I think you either have a mood disorder or a thought disorder or a lot of bad vibes from expectations yours and others.

Dude, hang in there because you are not alone.

I'm not quitting. EVER

UPDATE:

Today I was BLESSED. 56 years young today. (THANKS, GOD, for letting me see this age).

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!

Laughed, cried, felt extremes at both ends of the spectrum (TIL I checked in with my facebook friends. MUCH LOVE from them!!!)

[Tricky_Kid]

Happy birthday !!! God is good. People who really didn't know me helped me to stay alive and I will always be grateful for that. You too sharing Your story. Have a good day!

[Tricky_Kid]

I didn't have a chance to watch yesterday's game but I saw Wall had a good night. Hopefully the streak is safe vs Pels. Pine thx for fast GT!
