You know, it could've been worse...

Full disclosure: I didn't get to see this one live. I had to attend to some school business tonight so I haven't gotten a chance to look at the tape for this one yet, but just taking a look at the boxscore, I've got three quick thoughts on tonight's game:

At least the Magic only shot 33% from behind the 3 point line.
At least the Wizards were able to keep Howard to only 31 points and 16 rebounds.
At least the game was decided early, so Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison didn't have to play 40+ minutes tonight.

If that's not a sad commentary on the season to date, I'm not sure what is.

Well, you did not miss much, Jake!

Last year I would often, no, make that almost always, wake up in the middle of the nite here in Europe to follow a Wizards game on ESPN game track. Now I sleep in, wake at a normal hour, wash up, have breakfast and THEN go to the computer to find what fresh hell awaits…

Gee, I thought everyone was supposed to have fun in the Magic Kingdom!

UGH

i wish I could go to sleep until Gil returns. Then at least they’d be watchable.

I've officially-

abandoned my mantra of ‘well they were 0-5 last year too and turned it around’. We are the worst team in the league and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Now I’m consoling myself with – ‘well I could be living in Seattle and not have a team.’. I miss Haywood.
