|---|---|---|
| Wizards | vs. | CrabDribbles |
| Gilbert Arenas |
PG | Daniel Gibson |

According to both Michael Lee and Mike Jones, LeBron James isn't going to play tonight because of "flu-like symptoms." Basketbawful once described "flu-like symptoms" as meaning "a generic description used to cover up for the fact that a player is too hungover to play." So either LeBron had a long night or he's so freaked out from playing the Wizards that he won't even show up. I'm leaning towards the second.
Flip's going with his big lineup tonight, which, frankly, is awesome. It's awesome that he's using the preseason how it should be used -- to experiment with different combinations. This is in stark contrast to Eddie Jordan, who denied his new team the chance to practice his Princeton offense for three quarters in a preseason game because of an '"in-game feel,' based on some of the Knicks knowing the Princeton," according to Kate Fagan of the Philly Inquirer. If the Wizards hit the ground running with their system faster than the 76ers in the regular season, we'll know why.
This is an open thread, so while it might be preseason, I and you all should really want to be the CrabDribbles.
GO WIZARDS!

Me saying this will be my “best year eva!” on Jan. 1st …
or … very George Constanza and the “Summer of George”
Way to go Shaq … who cares.
Representing DC with Wizards & Stuff - Truth About It.net and Bullets Forever.
The last guy in the world I want to defend is Shaq
Other than LeBron James.
But it’s possible he was asked “is this the best team you’ve ever been on,” and if so, he kind of has to say yes.
If this isn’t the case, then commence the hating.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Yeah
Let’s see how good they are tonight, missing their best player, their starting PG, and last year’s starting SG ….
I made the statement that without LeBron James, this Cleveland squad is a Lottery team – tonight should be a test of that statement.
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
According to Dave Johnson:
5:32 PM….Wizards starters are in….the Wizards will go BIG tonight….Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler in the back court…Fabricio Oberto starts at center… Antawn Jamison at small forward and Andray Blacthe at power forward
According to ESPN:
James to miss exhibition against Washington with flu
Cleveland forward Darnell Jackson and guard Coby Karl are also out with the flu.
In addition, the Cavaliers will be without guards Mo Williams (groin), Delonte West (personal reasons) and forward Danny Green (leg bruise).
Time to D the F up – and get a win….
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
NBA TV kissing up to the Crabaliers – saying they have a very “flexible” line up….

Whoa, that secret scout thing is really funky
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
huh? I'm watching on Comcast
Representing DC with Wizards & Stuff - Truth About It.net and Bullets Forever.
On NBATV
They’re previewing the Cavs, and they’re having a secret scout segment kind of like how SI has one.
The only problem is, the only way to keep the scout “secret” is to doctor his voice and take out their whole body. So basically, it sounds really weird. They might as well have had the dude write something in and put it in a box.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Yeah – NBA TV blacked out for me… (Dish Network)….
Good thing I can still see the game on CSN…
I usually like to record both – Watch the CSN broadcast, then analyze the game later with the other (NBATV, TNT, ESPN, whatever)…..
Hard to do an even handed analysis when Buck is screaming “DAGGER” !
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
I like Randy Foye a lot
He’s always very willing to talk after games. It’s just that … he’s a bit boring.
Can’t have it all, I guess.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
But then he compared himself to Billups, and I was like "huh"
Because isn’t the problem with Foye is that he doesn’t play methodical enough?
Or is that just me.

Good break
Good recovery on D by Gil too.

anyone notice Gil matched up on Shaq that last time
Guess boobie hitting a trey over Blatche is better than Shaq going into the paint … ?

All they were talking about on TV is "JaVale Should Have Caught It"

Yeah, that struck me as odd
Miller’s better in pick and rolls than in running off screens. Flip should have Miller handle and have Foye be the guy running off screens like that.

Geez, he better not be done.

Those shoulder injuries can be nothing or they can be very serious. I’ll go out on a limb and say he plays the season opener.

Where’s Nick Young?

I haven’t even noticed that he hasn’t played yet. Maybe that says something about our depth, or maybe that says something about him.

he just loves to fly through the air and send shots
Hopefully it turns out as well as Sean Taylor and his many late hits/personal fouls did early in his career. The first thing I always say about Taylor “The man just LOVED hitting people….. even when it wasn’t allowed” McGee will learn. Especially when his PT drops when he isn’t disciplined enough.

Yeah – I know…. but having the young guys learn how to close out games is important in the long run….
Jamison, Haywood, Oberto, Miller and Butler won’t be around forever….. Blatche, Young, Foye, McGee and McGuire are the “next 5”…..
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
Probably not
but you’re right, it’s still important. Especially since Foye/Young have a reasonable chance of starting and we might need Blatche if Antawn is out. and yes, I know it was Paul Davis and not Blatche at the end.
