    Yikes! I take it he can't play with that, right? Bev had to shut it down because of a torn tendon.

    I feel very bad for Wiz fans. They had a good chance this year to go to the Finals. They are a team built for the playoffs and they looked the best out of any team in the East so far.
    Ironic that the only eastern team that is healthy are the Bulls.

    huge loss for the Wiz.


    BUT...they are not done.

    Lauren texted me. Ne' is off his rocker, not sleeping. Frustrated.

    Paul Pierce is going to have to reverse the clock and my boy is about to step up.


    The Vets are going to get together and systematically compete.

    Remember, the Hawks aren't "scary." The Truth can still put up 20, Beal can drop 15-20, and Ne has a vendetta against the Hawks. They passed him up twice.

    Watch him have a big game.

    I still see the Wiz taking this to 7, and Ramon Sessions will give them at least 12 ppg.

    Paul Pierce loves adversity and he's going to rally the goons. Drew Gooden, and my friend Ne are tight. They accept their roles.

    Don't be surprised for Temple and otto to step up, too.

    The Wizards are a strong group, from what I hear from family.

    This is what I'm calling and a donation to the TipJar if I'm wrong.

    Even without CoolDudeWall, the Wiz will win the next game.

    NeNe is going to play his best game of the series and Drew Gooden is going to show you why he's one of the most underrated journeymen in the league. He can shoot, rebound, defend and start havoc.

    Paul, NeNe,Drew,Bradley,Otto and even Gortat are going to take this one for John.

    Am I biased? Yes, to be fair. Ne is family.

    But I do know that Paul Pierce is one the most clutch players I've ever watched, sometimes more than LeBron and Kobe. NeNe is tired of being mediocre.

    #Wizards.

    I don't think the Hawks have a killer instinct, and IMO the Wiz's roster is far more talented with tweeners and strength.

    The only thing holding the Wiz back is coach Witt. He has a dog house that changes from game to game. Hopefully he lets that go if John is that bad off.

    Love my fam, but don't get it twisted. The Rockets are my number 1.

    Heal Up JW!

    Whittman has a doghouse? That's it? I thought he just had no idea how to coach?
    Who thought to put Pierce as 4 and play small ball? The vets of the team themselves or the coach? Gortat grabbed the board to draw the xs and os himself afterall.

    Who knows maybe if the can advance past the Hawks Wall can be back in time though I doubt it.

    I didn't know you are related to NeNe (Edit: or you are cutting and pasting that from something). I like the Wiz too, but all the talk around DC has been around benching NeNe for the stretch 4 and giving any spot minutes to Humphries. That's just idiot talk though, no real insider info. Anyhow, it's nice that you took it upon yourself to make a 1-sided tip jar bet vs no one for game 3. I think you're wrong, but wouldn't mind you being right. I think the Wiz are toast and it ain't going 7.

    Wizards very unlucky. I felt like they had a dark horse chance at getting all the way to the NBA finals even.

    One of the worst flagrant fouls I've ever seen, somehow not a Two.
