Comments on: Day Two AM Practice http://www.washingtonwizardsblog.com/2009/09/30/day-two-am-practice/ The Official Blog of the NBA's Washington Wizards Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:35:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: neal http://www.washingtonwizardsblog.com/2009/09/30/day-two-am-practice/comment-page-2/#comment-80500 neal Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:45:27 +0000 http://www.washingtonwizardsblog.com/?p=3024#comment-80500 Like I said before, I estimate that the norm for NBA teams is to have a starter and one other guy from the rotation out at any one time. With our depth, that's acceptable. Actually, the law of averages should mean that no one is out a single day all year. That's what's fair, too.

It's like you wait for something to go wrong, let's hope this is just our year. After last year I can not see a greater letdown neal, but it has been so wierd seeing all of our players healthy.

I hope Arenas shoots a a lot of 3's. Only Miller, James and Foye are better at it. I want him to penetrate or shoot 3's. No mid-range jumpers - that's what hurts his shooting %. Let Butler, Miller and Young shoot those, if we shoot them at all. When is the first pre-season game? Is it televised? I've never been so optimistic. I'm REALLY scared of a letdown. gray16 I disagree on one thing. I hope Arenas shoots a a lot of 3′s. Only Miller, James and Foye are better at it. I want him to penetrate or shoot 3′s.

I’ve never been so optimistic. I’m REALLY scared of a letdown.
