PrintIt's currently 56-50 Wizards. Gilbert Arenas looks like the old Arenas, Andray Blatche looks like the new Blatche, and the Wizards look very, very good.
Hopefully they keep it up!
GO WIZARDS!

Tough Juice commercial is pretty badass though
so I guess that makes up for it.

Let’s start the start the second half the exact opposite way we ended the first, ok boys?

Most likely
Depends on the activity … I figure 350 comments is the threshold.

This LA matchup would have been pretty interesting
if Blake Griffin had been playing. That’s a shame.

Yeah
Clippers just have horrible luck.

It's strange how this kind of stuff keeps happening to both franchises though
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
but they deserve their bad luck
Sterling is a slumlord SOB. Abe is a nice guy.

The players don't deserve it though
If there was justice, Sterling himself would suffer.

Why wouldn't that russian billionaire buy the Clippers
Seems like the growth potential there would be enormous.

Second-half thread continues it I think
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Love the free preview
First time I got a good look at the squad this year and I got home in time to see the last 5 mins. Go wiz!!!
Terry's starting the second half
Interesting.

Mike Miller looks like leo dicaprio in Gangs of New York

Is that three threes attempted by Arenas
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
So much for less than 100 threes on the season.
That being said, I can’t complain

Randy Foye with his Tony Parker impression
Foye/Arenas just works well.
And Oberto just has not been good at all.

I know Butler needs to get off
But I’m surprised we’re trying to challenge Marion so much.

What happened to Blatche?
And what steroids did you give to him? Jeesh.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
He seems focused out there.
Which is awesome to see.

Yeah
He’s not doing anything stupid. Shooting when open, crashing the boards, not wasting any dribbles or seconds. Very impressed by him.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Did he always have that jump shot?
Or is that a Dallas special. I’ve always remembered Blatche to be far more around the basket of a player.

I believe you Mike
It’s just that it’s, like, watching a quality low post big man. Guess he managed to put it together tonight.

GIlbert Bump
Playing with Gil helps everyone and with the new PG Arenas its only going to magnify. The test is the 4th quarter.

He's definitely a good guy
Life just seems easier for him when he’s not running point.
By the way, Dallas’ offense is all Dirk and Terry now. Marion has disappeared.

They're also playing solid fundamental defense

Come on Caron
don’t lose your head out there.
So though to defend
If Blatche steps up there he probably drives right past him
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
Yeah, not much you can do on that shot
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Why don't they get him coming
off screens. Stop making it hard on yourself.
by ronoD nagrO on Oct 27, 2009 10:30 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't think he does that well
Where they’re giving him the ball is good. 17 and in, where he can use his strength and quick 1st step (his next steps are slow). Wish he was given the ball closer to the middle of the floor though.

Good luck tonight

Seeing what Dirk has become reminds me that it always seems
like people evaluate a players matchup problems as a negative until that person takes it over and then they can’t stop talking about the matchup problems those players CREATE. Nice thought for a team full of guys with unorthodox size/skill sets.
yeah they killed the Cavs on the pick and roll that Z couldn't defend
don’t think Shaq will help with that.

Mike Miller hasn't seen much time recently
Wow, what a shot Dray.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I gotta say, I'm very happy that Butler is taking the ball to the rim
Instead of settling for jumpers. Now, if he could start his drives closer to the rim so he doesn’t pick up so many charges.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Dallas is playing Marion at the 4 now
I’m wondering whether playing Oberto now makes much sense. Dallas wants to speed this game up.

You got that right!

Tough call
I could see either argument.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Uch that was a good set
But then Butler spun away from the court, so he couldn’t see anything.

Yes he does.
That one that led to the 2 on 1 and Marion free throws

I don't see young or mcgee getting any major minutes this year.
Especially with how good this rotation is going.

Not what he said
The Wiz played well when Caron wasn’t in the game… which is true. Caron made the most of his minutes, though, and contributed valuably. But the Arenas/Foye/Miller combo was hot.

Great job
Plus, there really was an 8-man rotation (not counting the 3 minutes that McGee and McGuire combined for — probably a small consolation prize to remind them that they’re putting in the proper work).
