What The Bullets Forever Community Is Grateful For

PrintThe basketball gods have been gentler with the Wizards over these past few years. A combination of Thanksgiving, well-earned food comas and a lockout-induced scarcity of topics means we'll be rattling off some of the things we're grateful for. Think a little outside the box. We're all grateful for John Wall, but are we grateful enough for him crashing the Kentucky Derby in this suit?
Mike loves Von Wafer .gifs, Sean loves hearing the Inception sound effect when Andray starts shooting 18 foot contested jump shots et cetera. Comment about the things both Wizards and NBA-related that you uniquely enjoy, mine after the jump.
- Can I really be grateful enough for video of Javale McGee and Nick Young eating cinnamon? Since I'm the guy who chugs a bottle of maple syrup if anyone happens to suggest it...no. No, I can't.
- I'm grateful for Lap Dance Tuesday because nothing breaks up my day like facepalming.
- I'm grateful for D-league call-ups, because there's no better way to find out who the real fans are than to find out if they know their 12th man.
- I'm grateful for Lebron James being uber talented, uber entitled and mentally weak. Whenever I teach something physical (sports, martial arts, etc.), I'm all about bringing out heart and LBJ is the living example of why you need heart to be the best.
- I'm grateful for Fagan rec'ing (credit to imperialme). Nothing tells me I'm home in the game threads like commenting 'rec'd' without actually rec'ing the original comment and having Sean threaten me with the banhammer.
- Most of all, thanks to all of you readers and poster who make this site what it is. Happy Thanksgiving, and cheers! What are you grateful for?

In a stunning turn of events
College players are striking until they receive 2% of the college BRI pie

Well to give more update on the Black Friday talks
all we know was that David Stern waved to reporters and Broussard is once again saying progress is being made.
Berger says that in this meeting, players came in with the expectation that the owners were going to make more movement/compromise/cave, but we’ve heard this before every week for the past six weeks or so.
Woj says that these guys just started talking about deal points three hours ago, or at around 8 PM- 8:30 PM Eastern time.
You can take this as “boy crying wolf” or that progress is being made. If Woj is correct, that just leads to me to say this. Why the hell are they just cussing each other out and glaring at each other from 12 PM to 8 PM? Jesus!
woj tweeted that the nbpa allegedly propsed a 51 49 split again...
Do they really think that would have been taken well?

kessler requested it.....
looks like the nbpa wanted to see how much leverage it has gained, which I don’t think has been that much, though I think it has more leverage than before.

it is past 3 am
I am still checking Twitter until we find out what happens…. I feel like a loser while watching Larry Bird’s special.

meeting is over....
We shall see….. One guy apparently said there is a deal?

multiple sources saying it is true
Joint presser to be soon…..
Of course there is a risk that one of the two sides will not vote for it, but we will see.

aldridge confirms agreement on nba tv

its at the point where any progress is good news
Sorry still getting used to my new phone

confirmed on nba tv!!
That pretty much makes it done right?

not officially, but a deal shows that the leaders will endorse it
Players union must dismiss lawsuits and reclaim interest.
The labor committee must endorse it and Nba owners must vote for the deal.
by thewiz06 on Nov 26, 2011 4:17 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
when will the vote be
And I just saw the joint statement made on ESPN and it looks VERY promising
by no more kwame's in dc on Nov 26, 2011 4:21 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
labor committee meets later today through conference call
If they recommend it then all 29 owners vote.
I could see hard liners try to coup the vote but I do not think that will happen. Harder to see the nbpa’s guys try to keep decertification efforts going.

Lets enjoy the NBA on Christmas fellas

Great news!
Can’t find details of the deal… Guess they dont want the media spinning it before they vote on it?

Thank goodness!
My disappointment in the Redskins can be over as I can now act like football doesn’t exist by preparing to be disappointed in the Wizards :)
Glad we will get to see these guys play!
Yes, but the skins don't have a John Wall!
Can’t wait to see the kid in action – he really needs this year of development and now looks like he’ll have it!
Getting buckets since 2003.
