    Fair weather fans switch sides. Die hard fans dont. You are either a Wizard's fan or not. No root for the opppnent's superstar when your home team is playing. That's the problem.

    ;)

    Just kidding. It's just a game.

    Well...in the Rox jersey, he looks like he is really into the game, in the bullets jersey, it seems like he couldn't care less.

    I am going to say he made a bet with his G/F, the game started to look out of hand so he conceded defeat and bought a Bullets jersey.

    He could be a fan of both team...can he? Its only fair to both team if he he wore one of the teams jersey in the first half and the other team in the second half. I dunno about you guys, thats loyalty.

    Many digital cameras will embed interesting information into the images, called EXIF data I believe.

    I examined the EXIF data for image 5:

    Creation date: 03/02/05
    Creation time: 7:58:28 pm
    Dimensions: 1200x800
    Exposure time: 0.005 (1/200)
    35 mm equivalent: 395 mm
    Aperture: f/4.5

    And also for image 7:

    Dimensions: 1200x800
    Color mode: Color
    Flash used: No
    JPEG process: Baseline
    Orientation: 1

    Interesting. The EXIF fields are different. There is no creation time field.

    Examining images 1-4, 6, and 8:

    Image 1:
    Creation date: 03/02/05
    Creation time: 7:23:02 pm
    Dimensions: 1200x800
    Exposure time: 0.005 (1/200)
    35 mm equivalent: 395 mm
    Aperture: f/4.5

    Image 2:
    Creation date: 03/02/05
    Creation time: 7:29:20 pm
    Dimensions: 1200x800
    Exposure time: 0.005 (1/200)
    35 mm equivalent: 395 mm
    Aperture: f/4.5

    Image 3:
    Creation date: 03/02/05
    Creation time: 7:53:04 pm
    Dimensions: 1200x800
    Exposure time: 0.006 (1/160)
    35 mm equivalent: 395 mm
    Aperture: f/4.5

    Image 4:
    Creation date: 03/02/05
    Creation time: 7:57:56 pm
    Dimensions: 1200x800
    Exposure time: 0.008 (1/125)
    35 mm equivalent: 593 mm
    Aperture: f/5.0

    Image 6:
    Dimensions: 1200x800
    Color mode: Color
    Flash used: No
    JPEG process: Baseline
    Orientation: 1

    Very interesting. Images 6 and 7 have different EXIF fields than all the other images.

    And now, Image 8:
    Creation date: 03/02/05
    Creation time: 9:11:36 pm
    Dimensions: 1200x800
    Exposure time: 0.008 (1/125)
    35 mm equivalent: 395 mm
    Aperture: f/4.5

    VERY interesting. The EXIF fields are back to what they were in the initial 5 images. What are we to conclude? Either images 6 and 7 have been modified, or There was a second shooter! A second camera was used to take images 6 and 7! I smell a conspiracy....

    Oh, and I concur with YallMean. Image 5 was taken first at 7:58:28 EST, when Larry Hughes was fouled by Tracy McGrady with :30 left in the first half. The score was 45-38 Wizards.

    Image 7.. at an undetermined time afterwards.

    Willis,
    the Wizards Jersey is stupid
    the name 'Wizards' is stupid.
    I dont care if the owner had someone killed by a gun. Bullets is fine. Bullets don't kill people, people do. Look a Phoenix. People die of heat stroke, you don't see them changing their name.

    The ROCKETS. That what we use to blow crap up with, we're not changing our name to the Houston NedFlanders.

    Man, this is the stuff in movie Ring. :D

    I am pretty sure 7 was in the 4th, I remember there was brief period when both Ming and TMac out before the 5 or 6 min mark.

    LOOK AT THE DATE TIME/FIELDS! Images 6 and 7 were created/taken almost TWO HOURS AFTER Image 8! And at least one of the cameras was a Canon EOS D60. But the resolution is only 1200x800! That is a 6.3 MegaPixel camera operating at 1 MegaPixel! Was the "shooter" intentionally trying to obscure the image?

    I think it's time to open a full-blown inquiry into the source of these photos ....;)

    The "shooter" is a Windows user using Adobe Photoshop CS for image processing. It appears his identity is not as well concealed as he (she?) thought ;)

    More disturbing, in image 5 the man in the top left has a basketball for a head, and in image 7 his head is normal.

    Hmmm...

    Bandwagoning.

    A concept unheard of around these parts.

    That is pretty funny. I hate bandwagon fans. True fans stick by their teams through the good times and the bad.
