That was fun series to watch
Too bad Gil went from breaking up real fights to starting really dumb fake ones.
As far as the games goes
The Bulls seem difficult to predict, they are coming off beating Boston so we’ll see what they have left tonight.
I think the Wiz could take this game.
I'm hoping to continue to see Foye have a 2-1 ast/to ratio
and shot a high percentage. It would be nice to see McGee get some burn as Chicago doesn’t feature any bruisers down low.
Haha, they're promoting this as "Brendan Haywood vs. Joakim Noah"
Hahaha.
(By the way, CSN+ tonight).
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Yeah - I'm spoiled
CSN is HD, but CSN+ is not….. so now it looks like a poor internet feed to me….
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
Two crap contested jumpers early
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
DeShawn was 6-40 from three?
Whoa.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Whoo -
it’s friday, beer time. let’s go wiz – playoff push redemption story starts TONIGHT!!!

God I love Noah
Team player, doesn’t care about stats, does all the little things, cares only about how well the team does, etc.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
He just makes too much money
If he made MLE money he’d be a nice asset.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
any word on when the NBA will give official Gilbert suspension
they shouldnt need to wait till sentencing – that should be irrelevant to what the NBA does
They already gave the suspension
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
? they cant leave it indefinite
stern will have to act – i am sure the union will demand it
don't know if either are true but while listening to SC or Rome
I heard that the collective bargaining agreement has a 10 game suspension limit for a violent felony.
Jackson got a 6 game suspension for firing a gun outside a club.
theBIGC1982
so the longer suspension length had nothing to do w/ the felony conviction then?
and all to do with the guns in the locker room being prohibited by the CBA?
but even basic labor laws would force the NBA into due process
let alone the union….they can ban him, or suspend him for 2 years, or whatever they want or choose.
but the indefinite without pay while he is under contract is shaky ground that they will have to step off of soon
hi my name is Carolyn and I'm a Gilbertholic
I come hoping to join others in accepting what I cannot change.

Misery loves company...
and I’m miserable after this plea. But I join the playoff push redemption

Wow
Did Brad Miller just drive by Oberto? That’s embarrassing.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
because i have absolutely nothing to say about our team right now.
ill say this, the bulls announcers are one of the few in the league that i dont have to mute. if anything, they’re being a little generous in their comments towards us.
i noticed that too
also really liked the philly announcers – ed pinkney (spelling?) is pretty good

I normally hate them, but Stacey King loves Wizards players for some reason
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
My guess is because their prospects are all soft, lazy big men
And Stacey King was universally known for being a soft, lazy big man.

he loves him some javale

theyve also commented
how some of our players jus dont look like they wanna be playing basketball.. now, if thats in general, or jus wit a wiz uniform on, i dont know.
i think blatche picked up 3 stupid fouls
so he could go back to the bench.

Nick Young's shot was bad even for him
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Caron's just giving Deng that shot
Which is ridiculous because mid-range jumpers are literally all Deng can do offensively.

yes - they just telestrated it on the bulls broadcast
and ripped caron
honestly foye needs to play every remaining minute of the season
otherwise this team is totally bullshit and i can’t even pretend they have a shot at winning

agree..how many MPG has he been averaging since Gil was suspended?
there was a game or two ago where I thought Flip put EB in for too long. Foye should be averaging 42-43 MPG.
the drop off when he goes out is insane

butler's jab step-between-the-legs-dribble
is like a nervous tic at this point. he can’t help it, and i barely notice it. but it ALWAYS happens

yeah it's seriously like a get in rythym thing before he shoots

youre right
its like he cant shoot without doin it. he’d barely get through 2 racks at the all-star 3 point contest.
pump fakes..
..when you are out on the perimeter (like butler does 100 percentof the time) doesnt work…it only gives time for the defender toclose out on you. pump faking works best on a post move (ala kobe).
that stevenson shot
might be the worst shot i have seen this year in the nba
Just came in
Not sure I can watch the game because I have Verizon in Richmond. Now that Arenas is likely gone, what do the folks on here think of trading for Kirk Hinrich?

But salary goes down every year?
I just would like to have a point guard who can actually play point

To what end, George?
Christmas is over. Unfortunately it’s time to take the tree down and wait until next year (or three years from now).
I am throwing darts at this point
now that I know that everything has truly crashed around this team’s ears. I would hope for John Wall but last year’s lottery scarred me for life.

I like Hinrich, though
I thought trading for him last summer would have been a good idea.
Dominic seems to have regressed offensively this year
and I didn’t think that was possible.
Actually a pretty comfortable shoe
I would get another pair… I still have my single arenas signed shoe
damn - non-b'ball duty calls
go wiz – have fun all.

uh - oh...4th quarter.
we have a 3 pt lead..but here’s the script.
wiz start slow at in first few minutes…3 point lead becames 7-8 point deficit early.
boykins in at beginning… pounds the ball too much, cant get good lucks, bulls start to post him up down low.
wiz play bad defense….
bulls lead goes to 10, Wiz catch up.
in lst 3-4 minutes, we just can’t execute. foye, aj jack up quick shots.
bulls win at the buzzer.
nope but imagine the chip on his shoulder when he gets back
He’s going to want to get back at the Wiz – probably get a career high

joking aside
I actually had a dream where Gil droppped 70 on the Wiz with his new team.
and he's having such a good rebounding night
their weak front line makes him and Antawn look like Dennis Rodman and.. some other guy who rebounded a lot.
Wow, bs call there
How is that not over the back?
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I actually yelled at the TV
I felt like we were actually playing for something.

stop shooting jumpshots
god this team is lazy

Buck got way too excited there
Bad shot selection, but I guess it works.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
It's definitely funny in an unintentional way
I’m looking forward to many pitch-raise plays.

Somehow they've won a bunch of games recently
inspite of him.

weird to watch
if u matched the bulls players with flip saunders, you would have a real team
it's either him or Caron
AJ isn’t the best iso player
by BayAreaBullet on Jan 15, 2010 10:48 PM EST up reply actions
No way
If only because I haven’t seen any reason to extend him. Not sure Nick Young shouldn’t take that shot, but I also have checked out somewhat lately.
wow more quality shots
two people in his face and he still pulls up for the jumper..lol

he didnt say the magic word
being from chicago and watching a lot of their games, i know the refs dont like him though
The NBA: Where Donaghy Happens.
im a wizards fan from chicago
i was wondering if you guys liked foye here?
The NBA: Where Donaghy Happens.
his role has changed weekly
tough to get a read on him…..I don’t think he’s a star in the making or anything though

You know why in the hell
Can’t CSN cut a CSN+ game as soon as the CSN game is over?

Bloody excruciating
Just like with the Redskins, I shouldn’t care. Just like with the Redskins, it hurts.
glad im a Ravens fan...god bless you redskins fans

It is just like the Redskins. You know it’s coming, but you hope they can somehow pull it off. Like that Saints game. Just thinking about it makes my chest hurt.
All that fire for naught. All those points, and the effort put in by ’Tawn and Brendan, and everyone else. Maaaan, this is just painful.
by WizChick on Jan 15, 2010 11:13 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
And after all that fight, we lose. Again.
by WizChick on Jan 15, 2010 11:09 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Technically we won.
Yes I couldn’t resist, I’m a loyal fan, I watched.
I say we technically won because Deng clearly traveled on a three point play.
It’s disappointing they reviewed the call they made when ball went out of bounds but they couldn’t review Deng when he clearly traveled but instead got 3 points to give his team a win.
That’s what you get with the Wizards though bad luck and bad calls. If Arenas was on court this game was over. Pc and gnite yall
