Man we suck. Can't even beat the Heat.
Not too disappointed by it. I heard the Heat are like 9-1 against sub .500 teams, so it's not a big shocker. As long as they keep stinking it up against the better teams in the league, I'll be faithful that they can stink it up when the chips are down and the playoffs are on the line.

Hey now... no J-Wobble in the lineup. Plus the Heat were about to spontaneously combust if they didn't finally win a game (even if it was against a sub-.500 team).
Just be happy with McGee and Young's development... Gil's looking like an increased stock value, lately.
I don't know how to feel about the young guys. McGee is an athletic freak and Young is looking like he could be a mainstay at the 2 spot yet the fact of the matter is as a team they struggle on a night to night basis. Do they need a bunch of new players or do they need 2 or 3 more years?

Report: Orlando Magic Considering A Trade For Gilbert Arenas - SB Nation DC (http://dc.sbnation.com/washington-wizards/2010/12/1/1848642/gilbert-arenas-trade-rumor-magic-vince-carter)
I'd love to see Gilbert stay. I see no advantage Wizards in a trade of this nature, especially to the magic.

Seems like we've talking to the Magic for a few months now about Vince Carter, with Arenas off and on being part of the conversation. I think what's holding the Magic up is they're waiting to see if there's any way they can make a move for Chris Paul

Leonsis is saying no truth to the rumor and seems rather emphatic about it.Wizards Insider - Ted Leonsis on Arenas trade rumor: "It isn't true" (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/wizardsinsider/2010/12/ted-leonsis-on-arenas-trade-ru.html)
If the Magic is serious about Chris Paul, wonder what that would mean for Jameer Nelson.

Whoa! Over 70 points came from 3 different guards the highest of which came from Nick Young with 30, who started the game on the bench. Also 14 points from the Frenchman. Impressive loss.

Watched the game and was impressed with the Wizards effort, on the road against the best team in basketball. Nick Young was crazy!!!!!........a great comeback effort.

They sure looked sloppy against the Kings. Meanwhile, the Knicks....

The Wizards are going to eventually come to understand the meaning of consistent, and what it takes to be that way on a nightly basis..........providing they don't lose their coach first.

Ted Leonsis continues to deny any trade rumors involving Gilbert Arenas, but they continue to surface, real or imagined. The Wizards need to do whatever they can to become a better basketball team, if trading Arenas is going to enhance the process so be it.
However, any trade should be designed with the hopes of making the team more competitive, and not just ridding themselves of the Arenas contract.
