The Wizards are #1, Redskins gonna win super bowl, and the National will win the world series.

LOL...well when that happens (excuse me, IF that happens) then we can talk. Until then, enjoy arguing that you're even 2nd. It's debatable. Boston being #1 is not.

BTW- did anyone see the great games yesterday? San Antonio vs Phoenix and the Bruins vs Canadiens? Wow...great games! The Bruins game is probably the best hockey game I have seen in over a decade.

LOL...K.

If you paid attention, you would notice that I did that thread title in honor of jamf who did 500 of those types of threads...and if you read the thread, I didn't want to fire Gibbs, but was upset with the play calling, and questioned having Betts in at the end of the game instead of Portis. I still say that was stupid.
There are plenty of threads in which I defend Gibbs and his tenure here and not wanting him to leave. Maybe you should post those too. Didn't you get upset at me when I defended Gibbs and the Redskins to a fault when some yahoos were ready to call it a season during a game day thread. The ones that said "game over" after half and we were UP? You're barking up the wrong tree buddy.

Now thats a good catch! Well, let me see so you call the guy out and YOU started the thread with a post like:

(in honor of jamf)

What the hell is wrong with him that he STILL think conservative play calling is the way to go? The coaching lost this game for us plain and simple and it's getting to be like this week in and week out. We were all shocked last week when Campbell went deep for Moss (moss missed it) and I think Gibbs felt that was a mistake and wouldn't allow it again or something. How horrendous!

Certainly not the smartest move. ^ :doh: Oh well movin on......

On to the thread topic....I hope the Wizards can rebound, even though not a big basketball fan. I happened to be at Verizon Center yesterday for a game and one of the boys sitting with us happens to be a season ticket holder to Wizard basketball, and while their game ended before ours did and they lost. I ask him about the chances of the home team winning the series. I recall him saying I think Cleveland but could be wrong as I'm not a big follower and I was pre-occupied with the game at hand, he didn't like the chances of the Wizards.

Wait, I'm confused. So you weren't calling Gibbs out? You were just pretending to react to the playcalling as jamf would have? Or you were pissed about Gibbs? Iwas just pointing out that you complained, rightly or wrongly, about Gibbs and so it didn't seem fair to call someone else out for doing so.

And how is that? I questioned his play calling, something every fan did...and most acknowledged in that thread, especially the 2 running plays with Betts instead of Portis.
This has nothing, I repeat for those of you that can't read, NOTHING to do with wanting Gibbs out of town. Nice try though.

They won't. Like I pointed out before, they aren't good enough. The wizards are too interested in talking, and not interested in winning. It's OK to hope, but even if they do luckily get past the Cavs, they won't beat the C's in round 2.

I think you're missing my point. I certainly called him out for his play calling...never disputed that. But I did not want him to retire, or get fired, or leave, or whatever. There is a big difference there. I was one of the FEW that beleived Gibbs would turn it around, and I was one of the FEW that stood there and took shot after shot by people here cause I was being "blind". I even started a thread about letting all of those that were negative all season off the hook and gathered together as Skins fans.
So did I question Gibbs playcalling, you're damn right I did. It sucked, and I still stand by that.
Was I one of the select few here that stood up for the Gibbs and the Skins when we had 5 wins and 4 games left, you're damn right there too.

So I am unsure of why you think I am calling someone out for wanting Gibbs fired / retired while all I did was question his playcalling.

Damn, that's not good. I hope it gets better before we play tomorrow night. With our struggles on offense it's not gonna help if Arenas can't be as effective as he was in game 1. On the bright side it doesn't sound like anything that will be a huge problem, I just hope it doesn't effect his shot.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

Semi wild start to the game. Stupid fouls on the Wizards thus far. Though, I'd like to see them knock LeBron on his backside a little more. IMO, you've got to keep him from dunking the ball at all costs. The crowd feeds off his dunks. Bust him in the mouth.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

Wizards are killing themselves at the line

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

Wizards aren't playing like a team at all and it's showing. Jamison and Butler comined 5-17. They need to really step it up in the 2nd half and win

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

Very similar to the second half of game 1.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

Ugly.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

How is Brenda ejected and Varejao stays in the game (the foul on Blatche earlier on)?

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

damn I missed that. What happened?

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

LeBron was in the air and Haywood knocked him down.

LeBron had the ball away from the defender. Looked like Haywood was reaching towards the ball and hit LeBron's shoulder. LBron went down, hit a cameraman, had a little blood and was mad. Flagrant 2 on Haywood.

Didn't look any worse than Varejao's flagrant, IMO.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

The Wizards are not playing well today. Makes game 3 an absolute must win

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

Yeah, it's bad. They are wild.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

The way he's been gushing over him all night, I think Marv Albert is going to pick out his finest pair of ladies undergarments and go meet LeBron in his room after the game.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

Well no one on the Wizards is doing anything to merit any praise

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

No doubt.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

I missed this game up until the third quarter, but it looks like I didn't miss much. The Wiz are in a two game hole now and if they don't win at Verizon then it looks like it will be another sweep for the Cavs.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

wow, that was just a flat out murder.
But hey, whether they lose by 30 or 1, a loss is a loss. They aren't much of a road team anyway, they are MUCH better at home.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

I will go out of the way to say LeBron gets wayy too many calls which are just ridiculous. I still cant believe Brendon got ejected. A tech, sure but not ejection.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

I'd have to see the play again, but I'm glad Haywood laid a hard foul on LJ. Usually though when a teammate does that and especially when they get ejected, it galvanizes his teammates and they rally. Didn't happen today. Like I said before, wizards and their fans shouldn't make excuses (we'd all be singing a different tune about LJ if he was wearing a Wizards' uniform) and start asking why our own players are stinking it up. We're better than this, fans and team alike.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

It's my understanding that if you foul someone and it draws blood it is widely assumed to be a flagrant foul.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

Seeing that play again, I think it looks worse than it was. I mean I realize that the referees are watching everything move at a much quicker speed and don't have the luxury of stopping and rewinding a video clip, but it just looks so much worse because LeBron was already flying through the air. So it looks like Haywood threw him.

Re: Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread
 

Um you don't make a call based on blood. That is retarded. That is waiting for hearing for crowd appeal and making a call in soccer. You make the based on what you see at that time. Also I think it should've been a flagrant 1 not an ejection.

Also SS I agree that we would not have won if haywood wasn't kicked out, and we need to direct blame towards our lack of performance. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't rag on LeBron for getting too many calls. I ragged on Wade when Miami won their rings and he went to the line 40 times.

I hate that about the NBA. Also LeBron IS overrated when compared to Jordan, which he is alot. he can't shoot nearly as well, 3pt shot is much worst, and he can't play nearly as good D. "Witness"? Witness my asshole.
