Some links before tonight's game:

- Kyle wrote this piece for DCIst on Friday about the "old regime" of Flip Saunders and Ernie Grunfeld, which drew an angry response from Leonsis. Neither person is wrong, but why the animosity, Ted? "LOL?"
- Mark Cuban tells 106.7 The Fan that every team is going to take a "playoff approach" when playing the Wizards at home because they don't want to be the team that gives them their first road win. [SB Nation D.C.,with audio here]
- Nick Young talked to Flip Saunders about his comments about the team getting away from their offense. Flip said that Young should focus on the defense instead. [Wizards Insider]

- What's up with Brendan Haywood this season? Is he turning it around? Why is he playing so bad? My answer, from what I've seen of Dallas: Tyson Chandler is better and Haywood looks worse by association. [Mavs Moneyball]
- Pretty hilarious Gilbert Arenas-related typo. [Mister Irrelevant]
GO WIZARDS!
