after about 20 games, or so, you guys can have Eddie Jordan back. sits on the bench like he invented the game of b-ball.

He's nothing special man. There is a reason his career winning percentage before joining the sixers was .444! A lot of people here thought they had the talent to hang with the best of them, but eddie jordan was nothing more than mediocre. He's not a good coach, you will fire him before long.

Great to see the return of Gilbert tonight. 45 points and 13 dimes?? Unreal. I predict we're going to see a much improved Wizards team over the next 30 days. Onward and upward.

It was good to see Jamison address the crowd tonight, and the team really responded. Looks like the Wiz are really finished with Arenas- no longer selling his jerseys in the Verizon Center, his banner has been removed from the side of the building, and he's been edited out of the pre-game video.

I really hope we can void his contract and move on without him.

Looking at these two posts you can see how much things have changed. When he had that monster game mentioned above we all thought it was about to get better. Now maybe it is but in a much different way. And yes I'm in favor of hopefully getting rid of Arenas' monster contract because of this.

Way to go Blatche...sigh

damn shame

Re: Washington Wizards 2009-2010 Ongoing Thread
 

12 losses in a rows. 13 is the record for the wiz.

This has been a dark few days for the Wizards. First you have the Assistant US Attorney's recommended sentence against Gil, which seemed harsh, but was pretty well substantiated by Gil's actions following the incident in which he tried to cover it up. I know the Assistant US Attorney from law school, and he's a nice, down-to-earth guy, so I don't buy the arguments that he's trying to make a name for himself. Still, I hope Gil doesn't do any time. Good read by Steinberg on Sports Bog about Gil's charitable acts:
[url=http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2010/03/the_letters_in_gilberts_defens.html#more]D.C. Sports Bog - The letters in Gilbert's defense[/url]

Then Andray acts like a child and sits out a game. Won't be surprised if he's suspended for a few more. Flip was pissed. What really made me angry is that only a day or two before that he was complaining about being underpaid. Just finish out your contract as well as you've been playing and you will get paid. Oh, and don't get arrested for solicitation DURING CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS! I was just starting to like Blatche again, too.

Man this whole season has been entirely forgettable. It makes it seem like a decade ago that we had Antawn, Gil, and Caron making timely shots late in games and going to the playoffs on a regular basis. And it's hard to watch this team while they're in the midst of a 15 (is it 16?) game losing streak. It was easier when that was a lower number but after so many "Oh it looks like we might pull this one out, oh wait it's another patented 4th quarter meltdown again" it gets rough to watch. It's annoying getting your hopes up every game they have a lead or play well only to watch it fall apart at the end. Sigh.

I'll be happy when the offseason comes and I can actually look forward to hearing what changes will be made and I can return to being optimistic about the upcoming season. Gil coming back? Playoffs! Sign big name free agent or trade for 2 decent players with our trade exceptions? Deep playoff run! haha probably not but at least I can hold out hope that things will get better from here.

EDIT: Oh yeah and I wanted to ask, does anybody that have Dish Network know if they carry CSN Alternate on there? I wanted to watch the Wiz-Rockets game tonight while watching the Caps-Sens game but ever since we switched to DishN from Directv last week I can't find the CSNA channel.

we did get spoiled with that playoff run regularly

basketball is extremely delicate

Re: Washington Wizards 2009-2010 Ongoing Thread
 

After the trades, they were suddenly playing incredibly well. I did not realize they are now on a 16-game LOSING streak now. What a swing.

Re: Washington Wizards 2009-2010 Ongoing Thread
 

At least it is a streak. You really gotta be something to go on a run like that.

Re: Washington Wizards 2009-2010 Ongoing Thread
 

If we "lose-out" we will have set the record for most consecutive wins in a season. Ugh.
