If we win the media probably won't recognize us, we never get media talk.

i know how u feel...u got a good young team, something like what we had last year (a little different start though). It takes alot to break into ESPNs favorites.

We'll have to actually do something -- in the big picture -- before we start getting more attention. We're a perennial loser, which isn't something that will get you a ton of coverage. Get to the playoffs a couple of years in a row, see Arenas or Jamison making the all-star team, having one of our young guys explode, and so on is how we'll start to get noticed.

I thought maybe something as extraordinary as what we did at Memphis would get us something, but I was proven wrong. For us in Memphis, two sentences and fifteen seconds of highlights. If it were the Lakers doing that to the Knicks, they'd probably be working on a made for TV movie on the game. Such is life for a team that has been as bad as long as we have.

I think it will be difficult for the Wizards to win this game because they don't have enough guys to defend Shaq. It is likely that Ruffin and Walker will get into foul trouble and maybe even Ramos.

If those 3 guys foul out, who do the wiz put on shaq, Jarred Jeffries??

[MJG]

Damn Ruffin, picking up a foul 10 seconds in, on offense. Save those fouls!

Dwayne Wade=Unguardable



at least that's what the announcer said, I think I agree

I don't know what Arenas is doing, but he needs to take open threes when he gets them. He's had two he's passed out of already. Granted, one got us 2 points from Hayes, but he needs to take that shot. He's playing too passive.

Blech -- take out Hayes, and we're 2-10 for 8 points in the quarter. Interesting to note that Jamison has started off slow in all three games so far, and he picked things up strong in the past two. We can only hope he does so tonight, as he's 0-4 from the field at the moment.

Frankly, we're doing well to only be down by 10. They're shooting 60% from the field and Wade is playing fantastic while we're sucking it on both sides.
