On ESPN.com it states that the Wizards signed Chris Whitney on March 25, 2008. Is this true?

March 30th, 2008 at 4:37 AM
well here come’s the big day. i said it, days ago… gil will play in LA! thats my slogan, u like? lol ne way if not, will joing the cavs blog as godeshawn. now i might not be the smartest but does ne one believe the raptors and cavs have been losing to much lately, maybe purposely. i dont think the cavs wanna play us, matter of fact i know. we beat them last time, no zydrunas, and no gil, u pick the better player. ne way seeds 4-7 is up for grabs, wiz are going to claim that 4th or 5th spot. but cleveland has a tough schedule. philly has to play them twice. so will we see how this works out. DESHAWN, if u can stop the king, try stopping the greatest player in the league since MJ. u have played good against him before so i know u can do it. kobe wants to avoid getting into any trouble, take advantage of him and get under his skin. they are seeking a win, every game in the west is vital. and we didnt come to LA to lose. so deshawn do us a favor, SHUT DOWN KOBE! GET PHYSICAL, GET UR SWAG BACK.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:01 AM
Gilbert Please comeback
March 30th, 2008 at 10:15 AM
The Cavs got beat down by the Pistons but clinched the 4th spot..
March 30th, 2008 at 10:38 AM
Gilbert please DONT come back, I mean I’m not going against you or anything guys but Gil said he would come back in DC and I’d love to see him do so. And in the mean time Ivan Carter said that Gil would do his best, to get back as soon as wednesday so I guess he’ll do so. Anyway Tonight tough game because weak teams have beaten LA lately and they are gonna have to wake up soon or later and I hope it won’t be against us. I hope D-song keeps the good play up, and as usually I rely on Tuff Juice and ‘Tawn to secure everything even if they don’t have an extraordinary night. Nick, this is your real comeback so please shine!
GO WIZARDS!!!
March 30th, 2008 at 10:39 AM
Who said the Cavs clinched the fourth spot??? Nothing’s over yet!
March 30th, 2008 at 10:47 AM
man i wish hibachi comes back tonight! i know he wont though
March 30th, 2008 at 11:01 AM
Ok, I didn’t mean what I said yesterday about not posting anymore - I love this blog and I love interacting with everyone (shout-out to LilGil, my homie). I don’t post on here as if I’m always right, but I do try to back my comments up. Nothing personal at all, I just happen to be very opinionated.
Anyway, I’m about to go finish up on some homework so that I can watch this game tonight and blog with my fellow bloggers. I believe in us 100%; we could get this W. And I agree gee wiz that D-Steve just got to go out there tonight real aggressive (but not too aggressive - don’t need foul trouble for this game).
Chris Whitney signed on March 25, 2008…Whhhaatt (??)…..Inteerrrresssting (if true)…
GO WIZ!!!
March 30th, 2008 at 11:15 AM
Hey Dave -
I was watching the MLS game between NE and Houston last night and noticed you were on the broadcast. I didn’t know you did MLS outside of United. Great seeing you on there. Love the commentary.
Anyway, can’t wait for the game tonight! Caron will play big tonight, I can feel it.
March 30th, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Too bad Gil is going to miss this game. I know he’s thinking revenge against the black mamba. And, he’s back at his home area.
March 30th, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Cavs clinched the playoffs, not 4th.
I don’t believe Whitney was signed on the 25th and it hasn’t been reported. And if they were going to sign him it would have been before now.
Got to win this one today to make this a successful road trip. I don’t think we can beat Utah in Utah after playing the night before.
Go get ‘im DeShawn.
March 30th, 2008 at 12:41 PM
we got the 76ers VS Cav’s who do we want to win that one?
and yeah we need this one bad cant get low on them i dought they will leave the door open for us but they have lost 2 in a row
March 30th, 2008 at 2:17 PM
Wish the playoffs started today, I really like the Cavs-Wizards series Round 1, followed by Celtics round 2 and then probably Detroit in the eastern finals if we can take Boston in 7 (We did beat them back to back and have a chance to spank them again in a week :P)
Haywood needs to start off strong if Gasol is out tonight
March 30th, 2008 at 3:07 PM
Hey bridge — I didn’t meant to cause you frustration or to upset you.
I think I said back when we were under .500 that I loved this season and the way the team has fought thru difficulty. I meant it then, and even more now!
I played basketball as a kid (long ago) and have followed it for most of my life. I love the game not the numbers. The numbers are about the game, but no they are not all of the game. A big shot, an inspiring dunk, etc. — those things are important, in fact they are critical.
But numbers do matter, and talking about ‘the little things that don’t appear on the box score’ doesn’t really change that. Players who *do* fill up the box score *also* do those little things!
Tonight’s game is what’s really important, however. It would be *great* to get a win against these guys.
We could wind up playing Philadelphia in the first round — how strange would that be?
March 30th, 2008 at 3:08 PM
I want Philly to win tonight — to answer the question above. Anything to dump on Cleveland!
March 30th, 2008 at 3:22 PM
GIL COME BACK PLEASE ATL EAST FOR A MINUTE MAKE A COUPLE OF 3.
GIVE ROGER AND ANTONIO A BREAK THIS WAY THEY’LL PLAY BETTER
March 30th, 2008 at 4:04 PM
Guten Abend
yeah, let’s bet the lakers (pau out, fisher&kobe slightly injured etc!) - we can really do it! let’s earn some more respect for the upcoming playoffs! (emphasis on more :b )
…and let the cavs lose (whenever lebron loses, im happy nyways)!
greets,
Phemy
March 30th, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Just looking at Toronto’s schedule, they have a tough one tonight vs. NO, but some easy games coming up after that.
We need to *beat LA tonight!!*
March 30th, 2008 at 4:53 PM
Don’t know what any of you are doing, but right now I’m watching Davidson take an early lead on Kansas. This kid Curry is *fun* to watch!!
March 30th, 2008 at 5:21 PM
phemy we luv u, but i dont care who is injured, i say we can win them all. if we can beat boston, detroit, dallas( uhmm maybe not a good choice right now) and the hornets, we can beat them all! and tom i think if curry gets a better at handling the rock he will be awesome. they have him playing at the 2 when he is only 6′2 if he want to make it in the NBA he needs to play more at the point. i know some of u will say well what about AI, well he’s not iverson, he’s S.curry. someone “TOM” said we cant beat utah, well why not, we beat that same team last year…. ne ways dont take anything on this blog personal its just opinions, know two minds think alike so clashes are likely to happen! luv yall, GO WIZ
March 30th, 2008 at 5:24 PM
So things are looking pretty good. Getting some tough road wins. Does anyone know whats going on with Blatche? Hes not playing much. Ever since D. Song replaced him as a starter. His minutes have dwindled. I heard EJ mention its his energy level. D. Song is playing his best ball as a Wizard over the past month. It would be great if Blatche could step it up and give Jamison a rest. We need to push for a good spot in the playoffs but we need our guys healthy in the playoffs. Maybe reducing Jamisons minutes by 3 or 4 per game would be a good idea? It would be nice to see Blatche and Young protect the ball more and reduce those quick fouls that they both tend to get. They need to step up now!
March 30th, 2008 at 5:29 PM
Cleveland can’t win a game lately. Does anyone know the substance of what Deshawn and Lebron were talking about in our home win over the Cavs? Some real personal stuff was being said!
March 30th, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Did you guys see the defense Memphis used against Texas (my alma mater)? I really wish we could consistently defend like that.
March 30th, 2008 at 6:29 PM
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS TOO SERIOUSLY PEOPLE BECAUSE I COULD BE WRONG; I watch games very closely…None of us know of the personal stuff said but uh….All I gotta say is that I knew IMMEDIATELY that there was tension even before tip-off. I am not lying to you guys when I say that I actually rewinded to make sure that I saw what I THINK Stevenson said to LBJ, which would be this:
“I’ll beat your Mutha bleepin a**.”
I could be wrong though…but I rewinded like 3 times and that’s what it looked like he said…(PLEASE don’t kick me off for this
- pleasssse)
March 30th, 2008 at 6:43 PM
I have a funky new concept and that is we should not play from 15 down but explode with 20 points up! The keys to the game is picks, pickem high, pick Kobe from the right , pick Kobe from the left and just attack the basket all night long! I really would like to see Agent Zero make a couple of three point bombs just to show everyone he is still the man! Good Luck!!
March 30th, 2008 at 6:59 PM
wassup guys..its been a minute i know i was supposed to check in friday but i was busy @ a party but most likely i will be here tonight when the game tip off. I read just about all you guys comment and i must say no Agent zero 2nite. That will be nice and that deshawn and lbj thang i believe it. LBJ thinks he better than everybody thats y his azz was mad @ the end of the game newayz check in with yall 2nite..WASSUP BRIDGE!
March 30th, 2008 at 7:40 PM
I really hope we get the cavs in the first round of the playoffs. It would be great to teach LBJ a lesson and I really think they’ve been playing awful basketball since the trade. Also, Philadelphia is playing super scary right now.
March 30th, 2008 at 7:44 PM
This is a must win game tonight. I hope the Cavs loose to the 76ers. If they do that and the Wizards win that moves us within 1/2 game to the 4th spot. Can the Wizards clinch a playoff spot tonight?
I’m listening to the Cavs and the 76ers right now and the 76ers are giving them all they want. GO 76ers (today, not tomorrow).
March 30th, 2008 at 8:11 PM
lol if he said that i wanna put that on myspace! thats hilarious! hoorray deshawn. honestly lebron must have said some harsh things about deshawn. cause deshawn doesn’t really get into confrontations. yo DJ… lol i know he hates that. whats tha 411 tonight????? when will arenas be back? whats up with etan? and do u have ne idea what lebron said to drew about deshawn??
March 30th, 2008 at 8:31 PM
WHAT UP ANT!! Hope you had fun at that party. Where was my invite - just kidding lol…
March 30th, 2008 at 8:33 PM
well on the game previews for each game, Gilbert is usually listed on the injury report as OUT. Last sunday when he was supposed to play against Detroit he was listed as “day-to-day”. However, tonight is the first time all year that he hasn’t been on the injury report. I don’t know if that means he’s going to play or for some reason they just left him off the list, because he did say on his blog that his first game back would be in washington.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:36 PM
9:06 PM ET….Dave and Glenn checking in…..no Pau Gasol tonight still out with the ankle injury. Lakers have dropped two in a row…not getting much production inside….took 45 threes in their last to the Grizzlies…
March 30th, 2008 at 8:43 PM
9:17 ET….Spalding Never Flat Winner…..our random winner tonight is Arian Hamidi of Clarksville, Maryland……Arian sent his name and address to wizardspromotions@washsports.com…

March 30th, 2008 at 9:33 PM
The interview begins with Gilbert talking about how he’s still unsure of when he’ll be cleared to play again and then suddenly, it took a wild, Arenas-turn when he was asked about the upcoming summer.
“I want to see Antawn (Jamison) taken care of first and then, I’ll take a pay cut to keep the team intact,” Arenas said.
How much less is he willing to take?
“That depends on what Antawn wants,” Arenas replied with a chuckle. “We’ve been together six out of my seven years so we have an understanding. We know what it’s in jeopardy so, you know, I told him whatever he wants, give it to him, and I’ll take the pay cut. I know what he does. He’s a part of my success and I’m a part of his success so we have this one-two combination that works in this league. We know we make each other better. Someone has to sacrifice. This might be one of his last contracts so I’ll sacrifice and hopefully, I’ll get another one at the end of the day. And if I don’t, I know I did the right thing.”
March 30th, 2008 at 9:34 PM
Thanks - but I share so I wanna get US a win
March 30th, 2008 at 9:35 PM

11-18 from the line…. That’ll have to change in the second half.
I have seen only three plays so far but DeShawn does definitely have some troubles guarding Kobe… But still we’re only down by 11 (Nick has still to hit a buzzer beater in his carrier and that was very close) so the second half will be interesting!
March 30th, 2008 at 10:03 PM
well being down at half is nothing to this team lets see what the new half brings
March 30th, 2008 at 10:06 PM
bridge you goign to be with us when you go back to school?….we have played well….but the missed free throws have been a big difference
March 30th, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Sure am - why not. I love this team and blog
March 30th, 2008 at 10:09 PM
I’m here, was just loving Dominic’s Defense!!!!! Wow… I wish we left him in a little bit longer. Hope he comes back. I think we are playing really well even though we’re down 10 or 11. As usual, we are not defending the 3, but I’m getting used to it. Good game… looking forward to the second half and the WIN!!!
March 30th, 2008 at 10:12 PM
AND…. what about Gilbert!!!! I know, Gilbertology and all, but that comment about the pay cut was really surprising! wow…
March 30th, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Yeah that’s deep. I love a man who shares - sharing is caring lol
March 30th, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Great to hear Gilbert say he’d take a pay cut if necessary to keep Jamison. This year he’s making $11.9M. If he even agrees to exercise his option at $12.8M it will be a relief. I take him at his word that money is not the only thing motivating him. That was the case when he came here in the first place.
If Daniels can’t play will Arenas suit up tomorrow night? I think so.
The Lakers are killing us with 3’s. I imagine current scouting reports of us say to shoot the 3’s - we leave people free out there with regularity.
I hated to see Davidson lose. You gotta root for a school with an enrollment of 20 and 15 on the basketball team.
Good night all. Root hard the second half.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Wow I forgot to check Wizards Insider but thanks to you gbkdc I just did it and… what else can you say than classical Gilbertology…. This man says everything he thinks and some would say “get him and agent!” but I like it, even though it has already and will hurt his credibility…..
March 30th, 2008 at 10:18 PM
We’ll root for ya neal!
March 30th, 2008 at 10:20 PM
Yes, Gilbert is nothing if not unpredictable!! Gotta love it!
March 30th, 2008 at 10:21 PM
a little too much 1on1 to start.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:23 PM
That’s right DeShawn, but don’t fall in love with the shoot… you can drive too you know.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:23 PM
The Wiz got a SWEET SPOT goin on the floor
March 30th, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Stevenson!!!! Now we’re hitting 3’s!
March 30th, 2008 at 10:23 PM
I LOVE IT!!!
March 30th, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Is the Locksmith hot?
March 30th, 2008 at 10:23 PM
I question the lakers doubling brendan, but hey keep doing it.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:24 PM
OH MY GOD!

March 30th, 2008 at 10:28 PM
We’re doing a good offensive job, but we gotta step up defensively, we almost forced a turnover with the isolation but we couldn’t get the steal….
March 30th, 2008 at 10:29 PM
this is just good stuff…both teams shooting 7 of 10..in quarter
March 30th, 2008 at 10:30 PM
yea…we did do good
March 30th, 2008 at 10:33 PM
jamison good 3pt shot
March 30th, 2008 at 10:34 PM

March 30th, 2008 at 10:39 PM
HELL YEAH THEN!!!Grrrrr
March 30th, 2008 at 10:40 PM

March 30th, 2008 at 10:41 PM
D-Steve=hot
March 30th, 2008 at 10:41 PM

March 30th, 2008 at 10:41 PM
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa stevenson.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:41 PM
My god DeShawn doesn’t even think he just shoots!
March 30th, 2008 at 10:41 PM
lets go wizards
March 30th, 2008 at 10:41 PM
Or ANY! Y’all know the refs don’t like us -
March 30th, 2008 at 10:42 PM
i think we play the first half like a warm up to the butt kicking we give out in the 2nd its crazy how we do this
March 30th, 2008 at 10:43 PM
its called coaching…haha.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:44 PM
Man that replay of Nick getting elbowed by Walton was funny as hell - they did a slow mo
March 30th, 2008 at 10:44 PM
tie game
March 30th, 2008 at 10:45 PM
They should’ve just let Nick get some freethrows too - the “I feel sorry for ya” freethrows lol
March 30th, 2008 at 10:45 PM
man is caron really number 2 in the league in FT shooting %? thats impressive.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:45 PM
damn they got the lead again
March 30th, 2008 at 10:46 PM
wow nick young been lifting, just threw farmar like he was nothing =D
March 30th, 2008 at 10:46 PM
he was 1 for the last 3 games
March 30th, 2008 at 10:46 PM
wow and he’s been workign on his 3 quarter court shot too.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:46 PM
Nick got it.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:47 PM

March 30th, 2008 at 10:49 PM

March 30th, 2008 at 10:50 PM
we need a good quarter
March 30th, 2008 at 10:51 PM
that was a bad idea
March 30th, 2008 at 10:52 PM
Damn already in the sacramento game Roger fouled someone and it was called a clear path, they got 4 points out of that play and right there we get 3 points. I mean it’s always good to challenge but sometimes just let him score 2…
March 30th, 2008 at 10:52 PM
man they shouldve called that walk
March 30th, 2008 at 10:53 PM
youuuuung
March 30th, 2008 at 10:53 PM
Nick held the sh** out of Kobe - then scored on him!!
March 30th, 2008 at 10:54 PM

March 30th, 2008 at 10:54 PM

March 30th, 2008 at 10:54 PM
