WizBlog RSS FeedRADIO DAZE
9:25 AM…Dave Johnson here….All packed and set to go to Indiana….as always I feel like I am forgetting something–although I should be in good shape with my DVD of Kojak reruns for the flight..Looking forward to starting my second decade behind the mic..and looking forward to seeing this team have the kind of season it deserves. It is a team that works hard, respects the fans, and is accountable. This is not a locker room that will allow less than 100%..Pecherov’s injury is a bummer because I think he exceeded expectations this past month–but it is not serious….This team is focused on having a good November…last season the first month of the season had an uphill feeling to it until we caught flight in December. Don’t forget we will be blogging on the air tomorrow night…you can listen on the radio or on washingtonwizards.com and Glenn Consor will be with me and the game is on CSN —-On my way to practice and then the flight….I will check in tonight from Indy…
7:06PM….A big thanks to everyone who is jumping on board and posting…Just doing some prep work before going out to dinner here in Indy…Antonio Daniels said he was encouraged by the three practices before take off as the team worked on getting its offensive rythym.. DeShawn has been shooting the ball well in practice….Antonio was asked if Gil is 100%..he noted that he is guarding him in practice and doesn’t think he has lost a step..but Antonio was not saying he is 100% yet either… I think we will get a better indication after Gilbert gets battle tested in a few regular season games….again lots of reasons to be optimistic..Eddie Jordan said today–that next to Gilbert… Nick Young is the Wizards most creative scorer–but he was most impressed with his unselfish commitment to defense over the last couple of practices..I will check in again.. feel free to post

Hey Dave,
Thank you for all of your excellent blogs - great stuff. Question. The comments on these blogs get quite negative. What is your take on our team (won first 5, lost last 2)? Obviously, Gil is recovering. Are we working the kinks out or is time to be seriously worried that this is a “rebuliding” year?

Can’t wait for tomorrow!!! I hope we can definitly start better than last year on the road, remember how Gil was struggling on the road while shinning at home last year? Well I hope we’ll start on the right foot and just find a good rythm, for the starters as much as for our bench guys.

i like that the young guns get the fact that we need D more than points and are really taking to the fact that will get them min.. if they can contain some good players they might even start from time to time

I read in the Washington Post that Jermaine O’Neal and Troy Murphy probably will not play tonight. This will still be a good test because last season when other teams had there best players out we still lost because we always seem to come out and play lazy.
