I can see Navarro looking around saying ....where the heck did he go? My question is why the heck would Memphis do that? I thought they were rebuilding..... Around Gasol? Didn't they get Navarro to further enhance that? That is like filling the tub to take a bath and pulling the stopper out when it's half way full? I just don't get it. Maybe they don't want us getting a first round pick and will settle for us getting a 2nd rounder in 6 years? people in La are now going to be saying "hahahaha we got Gasol for Kwame". Until now I "had the rights" to that line lol. Wiz4Life…. lol…. I can see Navarro looking around saying ….where the heck did he go?

It's actually fun to be here as this place fills up w/ the morning regulars. neal – when I travel to the bay area for a short visit to my kids/grandkids, I avoid adjusting to the time change by getting up early and going to bed early.

They will obviously be one of the bottom 19 teams, so we won't get our pick next year. And they are obviously rebuilding and going for youth, so who knows when we'll get it. They stand to pick toward the top for a while. If we don't get our first-round pick in 6 years, it converts to a second round pick. Yes, Andray is making big strides. His present rate of fouling, though high, is still much better. And his shot-making continues to improve. I got it bass-ackwards about our pick from the Phizzlies.

Watch out for the Lakers in the 2d half and in the playoffs. Memphis is a mess; they basically got nothing for one of the better players in the league.

They had a legit chance to beat a very good team while fielding a very depleted roster. As I've said many times, the Wizards have a good chance to win a game where DeShawn plays well. If he has an off night, we don't have much room for error. Tonight, with the bench itself depleted because Andray started, they didn't come through. I'm on the West Coast (sitting in a Starbucks in SF at 6:30 in the morning), so I didn't get a chance to see the game -- although I did catch the last minute and a half on nba tv. I'm delighted with the way Andray is playing; he seems to have played great minutes last night. He still fouls too much, and he had 5 turnovers. Still... Does anyone understand why Pecherov didn't play. I'm kind of sick of the nothing we get from Songaila. Hey, I really like the Wizards right now -- even with this loss. They really compete, and we are building a heck of a team! That must have been a hard loss for the team to stomach.

I understand why Jordan doesn't like the alternatives, however. Hard to justify more minutes for a guy who's not playing well in limited action.

Blatche looked good. Songaila and Young didn't. Neither played with confidence. Too many points in the paint. I realize the Jazz is good at the pick and roll but we've got to do better at rotating. With Butler back Sunday and a chip on our shoulder the Puddlers better bring their A game. Gasol or not. They gave it a good shot I thought. Blatche looked good. Songaila and Young didn’t.
