Our fearless leader, hardhat owner and team captain
Is at it again. Don’t worry, Andray, it’s fine to have a NYE party the night before a game. An added bonus would be if somebody got shot or JaVale got punched in the eye. Dray better watch out or he might re-injure his foot by stepping in so much shit! I’m so sick of him!
but - it's a night of sophistication!
that cracks me up because it seems intentionally created to head off any criticism.

I'm curious.....
Does hosting it mean he will be there or even be there all night? Maybe they are using his name for promotional reasons….just wishfully thinking….

That's possible too
Either way, if I’m him, I’m not sure I ever let my name get on something like that given his reputation. That’s exactly what happened with Lapdance Tuesday.
So the Wiz offered Nick "slightly more" than the mid-level...
Exception, which is $5 million (according to Michael Lee). Sounds about right to me. And it does reveal that Ernie is doing this smart, showing Young that they want him, but at a price commensurate with his value.
In other words, they didn’t lowball him or allow the market to set his price. Good to know. And who knows — maybe Nick eventually accepts the longer-term offer.
Im sorry, this was funny on "Truth About It"

He's good for a few of those "thriller" moments
Just not consistent. He is our best shooter though, and would love for him to stay but at a reasonable price.

just got the Android app
it works…. there needs to be an easier way to navigate this system however, buy I have had this app for maybe a few minutes so don’t take my word for it.

Shelvin Mack
Mack getting pushed down isn’t a bad thing? Um, I understand it was only one game, but Mack outplayed Wall, Mason, and Crawford.
I hope we see a completely different team tonight. The only players that looked decent to me were Mack, Singleton, and dare I say… Blatche.
Pumped for the season – hope we can develop our young guys and have someone breakout and most importantly: play like a team
