Ball movement is bad... Too much isolation on Gil & Butler's parts. Lets go Wiz! Get it together. TOO MUCH TALENT to be giving games away early. These things count. Jumped on both Atl & Clev early only to have them adjust & get us into foul trouble... We'll figure it out. We HAVE to! Thanks to everyone for blogging (helps me get context). Especially Dave & Glenn... & you too Dom (I mean Tom). Morning in Paris… checking the blog…. depressed

Gil and Brendan are in comeback seasons after injuries; Miller was not a Wizard last year, nor was Oberto. The only starter in tonight's game with any Wizard experience from last year was Caron. We outplayed a very good team from the first quarter on...and we'll get better. Does anyone know the last time the Wizards won a game when Delaney was a referee? What is our record when he works our game? We’re just rusty and we have to learn to get used to each other on the court.

They took him out and put an icy/hot patch on it and put him back in where he again tweaked it. Then going to the basket he fell on it.... they took him out after a series of amazing one handed plays. It didn't look like any of the hits to the shoulder were hard but they could have been those nasty awkward hits that seem to do the most damage. I'm keeping everything crossed.
