The moving process begins tonight (lots of packing to do), so I might miss a lot of this game.  For those watching, enjoy.

Rodney Stuckey is still out and Ben Wallace is out too, I believe.

GO WIZARDS!

Seeing this introduction in Detroit makes me think...

…Washington DEFINITELY needs to incorporate Go-Go into their introduction and in-game entertainment.

Rip Hamilton is torching Miller

Makes sense

Can we really expect a kind of bulky 6’8 guy to chase one of the quicker shooting guards in the league through screens for 40 minutes? Miller should play small forward more often, I see no reason to play him at shooting guard. Nick Young or Livingston are far better suited for guarding Rip.

f-ing stupid, careless turnovers

my word. i know it’s a new team and all, but these are totally avoidable.

Flip is digging deep into his bench and STILL nothing seems to work.

Might as well give Livingston and Gee a shot. Oh, and we’re getting killed on the boards, so bring back McGee and Blatche!

This game is over, care to wager financially?

Boykins is the new face of the Washington Magical Wizards with Wizardy and Sourcery. The Washington Sourcercers with Boykins leading the way! Got a ring to it.

Everyone on that team is weirdly shaped

Their bigs are all short and really broad (except for Kwame), the wings are all very tall and skinny, and their points are all bulky.

It's not so much what the commentators are saying.

It’s that they’re spending a ridiculous amount of time on the game’s side shows. As if their producer said “No one watches basketball games for the basketball. The people want to see our sideline reporter make a fool of herself wearing a giant coffee cop and running around the court! And let’s through in a fluff interview with Chris Webber!”

(That's "cup" and "throw"...)

It’s been a long week. Which makes this broadcast all the more painful.

Running plays for McGee...

reminds me of the early days of Haywood and Etan, and how they looked when they were trying to score…

by Pryme on Mar 12, 2010 9:10 PM EST reply actions  

Shouldn't be hard to run a play for McGee

Pick and roll, lob it up. He’s got at least three inches of height, another three inches of length, and six inches of ups on everyone on the Pistons.

Interesting shot by Javale there

It’s like he’s too long his hands are too big to shoot it like a normal person. He looks kind of like I do when I play with those little balls you can win at Hershey Park.

by pantslessyoda1 on Mar 12, 2010 9:14 PM EST reply actions  

This is pathetic...

…and just think what we have to look forward to tomorrow!

Is that like Gary Cooper's "High Noon" case of the piles?

"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
