I read a article on the Wizards site stating that EJ may start Etan over Brendan the rest of the season.
Arenas is out with the Flu. Haywood is also out with Back spasms. That was reported by Wiz anouncers Buckhantz and Chenier.
come on wizards, you can beat the kings, wish you had arenas so it would be easier!
Wiz win OMG, no Arenas, no Haywood, Butler recieving stitches in his head after a hard foul by Kenny Thomas, way to go Wiz.
How did Jarred Jeffries get 5 blocks?

JJ gets so little respect from the fans, but he more than makes up for that deficit by earning the trust of his team. My hunch is that he instills that through attitude, which is all but invisible to anyone but coach, teammates and management. But we can observe that he's an usual talent who is steadily developing into a solid non-star but multi-faceted starter. The fact that he contiues to defy our expectations is reason enough to stay tuned to his future. Hopefully that will be in DC.
Is Blatche on the Inactive list?
Jeffries had a solid game like he usually does 1 out of every 6 or 7 games nothing unusual, still making bonehead plays on offense. I was more impressed with the way Etan Thomas played in the paint (accually scoring and rebounding), I was also impressed with Billy Thomas the guy plays with confidence, plays defense and has a nice jumper. Daniels continues to play well running the offense getting guys involved and Butler what can I say hes a warrior, guy gets 6 stitches in his head in the 3rd and comes back in the 4th and finishes the game strong. I accually watched the game and it was total team effort tonight won this game, not Jeffries 5 blocks witch were mainly against Artest who was absolutely playing ridiculous last night. Gil and Brendan should take notes on this game about TEAM effort.

I was pretty much thinking the same thing when I saw that post.
Great win. I'd be stoked with the team beating Charlotte or New York without Arenas, let alone the Kings on the road. Basically everyone played well, each helping for the loss of Arenas in their own way.

Ha! We shall see. As I said, he's defying expectations. Anyone not want him to do that?
Take a look here --->Jared Jeffries career stats.

I guess that defy's all expectations from a lottery pick (#7 to be exact), and maybe, just maybe by his progress he will be a (quality consistant) starter by 2012. Can't wait.

I guess we'll hear next about all the intangibles he brings to the team next.

*Edit* Jared was picked #11, but still a lottery pick.

Lottery position? Career stats? Is that the numerical approach to dissing him?

My point is simple. He's improving. He continues to start. Why won't he continue improving and starting?

He might be earning some contract value for himself and some trade value for both himself and the Wizards.
It is funny that you diss the only player on the wizards starting 5 that knows how to play good 1 on 1 defense. Jeffries helps out with the ball handling and plays very good 1 on 1 defense. He does alot of hustle plays and creates mismatches on the floor so that other players can operate smoothly. He is still learning and finding his jump shot (which he had a decent one when he first came into the league). You have to remember he came out after his sophomore year in college. This is would be his 2nd year in the league if he would have stayed all 4 years in college (which he should have). If you remember his first year he suffered a season ending injury after only 20 games so in essence this is his 'rookie year' or technically 3rd year.

Yes he is a starter and does play inconsistent on the offense of end but you look at his averages and you see they arn't that bad considering he is the 5th option amongst the starters on offense and that he only plays 24 minutes per game. He plays the Tayshaun Prince role for the Wizards but gets less minutes of course than Prince.

He passes, dribbles, gets steals, blocks, rebounds and plays defense. That is what is asked of him and that is what he does. Plus he is only 24 years old!

Thank you.

He's doing pretty in the Rockets game

I'm sure the Wizards could find a player by free agency or drafting that can do all those things AND have somewhat of an ability to score the basketball. I think Jeffries' shot has gotten worse this season, which makes him pretty much invisible on offense. Him and Ruffin compete for the worst offensive players on the team.

Invisible? If you're not paying attention :biggrin: He scored 15 yesterday.
