Nuggets @ Wizards

A.I. and Melo in town tonight. Jay-Z is also in town. He'll be performing at Love tonight. I wish I was invited. What I wish more was that I was invited to Gil's birthday party last year at Love. I wonder if the 26th birthday party will be as big. I doubt it, but I hope I'm invited haha. I wonder if Beyonce will be there tonight.



Stevenson is just awful. Have you seen his new tattoo? I heard he wanted to get his number tattooed on the middle of his back. Are you kidding me? I mean I understand the name but the number? Practically no one keeps his same jersey number throughout his career. It rarely happens and guys who have done it were back in the past and who were superstar Hall of Famers, not DeShawn Stevenson.




I've been impressed with Haywood so far this year. Maybe I was wrong in thinking that not having Thomas would be detrimental to his performance. Maybe he just needed to know that the job was his. Who knows its only been 4 games.

Nick Young is in during the first quarter. I like it. The Wiz need something to kick start them. Arenas is definitely not 100 percent. Andray Blatche is a young kid too, only 21. He's on Facebook. Add him as a friend. I think right now the offense has to go through Caron Butler. He's the only one really in a rhythm this year. He works best in transition on the break or off the dribble creating his own shot. I'm interested in seeing how Arenas changes his game to accommodate his injury in becoming a better passer and getting his teammates involved.

They're having problems with the clock on the floor. They installed two new clocks on the court one on each side of court on each basket. I like the new additions. They also upgraded the JumboTron at Verizon. Also quite nice. Damn. Melo is heating up. Alley-oop hitting a jumper.

End of first quarter tied at 28. Caron is definitely leading this team right now. I don't know where Jamison went. I like how Jordan is getting some of the new guys some PT along with Antonio Daniels. No, Mike, Songalia is not really a great addition for this team. Man the pace has really picked up during this game. I like it.

Why the f^&* are we talking to Tim Russert about Hilary Clinton??? This is stupid.

Damn. That is the second alley oop given up tonight. Uh oh. Jordan has the B-Squad out there right now. This is not good. Nice spin move by Melo. Arenas and 1. Nice drive. Finally a 3-pt shot for Antawn. Blatche is getting some decent PT. 9 points and 8 boards so far. Nice game thus far. Who is this Kleza guy on the Nuggets? Two wide open threes. Wiz are down by 10.

Caron Butler was arrested 15 times by the time he was 15 years old. 3rd alley oop. Let's keep count tonight. Fourth alley oop. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh wow what a dunk by K-Mart. I wish I had that on video. Halftime Wizards 51, Nuggets 60.

The D-Wade commercial is decently good.



I've been warming up to Steven A. Smith. I used to think he was damn annoying but I'm starting to like how he puts Bill Walton in his place. I must say I'm surprised at how the Boston Celtics are playing this year thus far. Again only 4 games into the season but the big three are getting their points.

I like the music for this commercial



Washington is only shooting 37% from the field. Not gonna do it. A.I. is 32 and in his 12th year in the league. Remember when he crossed up MJ? "I gave him a baby cross-over" 5th alley oop tonight. Camby to Melo.



Wow, Arenas has played more minutes per game than anyone in the league so far this season. Didn't know that. Plus he's not 100%. Stevenson is just straight up struggling. Tear drop from Jamison. That's his shot. Wizards are now down by 17. Its getting ugly. That is not where you want your offense coming from...Songalia shooting an outside jumper. Why is he even out there? I'm hearing some boos. Well-deserved. Wizards have 15 turnovers. This is a sloppy game. Melo is just draining his shots. 25 points so far. So many turnovers. This is turning into a pickup playground type game. Blatche 11 points and 8 rebounds. Melo just can't miss. 13 points in the third quarter.

The best player on the Wizards Butler is not even on the floor right now. This game is getting difficult to watch with the poor execution and all of these turnovers. DAMN. Melo is just LIGHTS OUT right now. 30 points so far in this game and its only the third quarter.

Wiz down by 23 points now. Let's get some of the young guys in there now. This is a sad sight to see. The boos are coming out with regularity now. As it should be like Van Gundy said. I don't think it is entirely a lack of effort. Arenas is just not 100%, and they stopped getting the ball to Butler. Denver outscored Washington 33-11 in the third quarter. Nothing is going right for the Wizards. Disappointing. I don't think Melo has missed a shot this entire second half.

Sixth alley oop this game. Iverson to Smith. Wizards are going 0-5. Tying for the worst start in franchise history. Damn. Arenas is on the bench with ice on his knees. Nooooo don't turn into Patrick Ewing. 29 turnovers for Washington.

Mike Breen:
"Nick Young...who looks like he is fifteen years old."
"It has been Murphy's Law for the Wizards here in the third quarter."
"This one's a clinic for Denver."
"Thankfully this one's coming to an end."
"Denver shelacks Washington."

Jeff Van Gundy:
"I think my dad was in the Army, but I think he was faking it."
"Washington's transition defense is deplorable."
"LeBron James 260 pounds and 4 percent bodyfat. The man is pushing KG for MVP honors just two weeks into the season."
"Special players have to play special...to give yourself a chance to win."
"When you put a body its gonna reduce their vertical."

jus wanna say... "the bullets are my team, but arenas needs to sit down UNTIL he is completely healthy. maybe he'll figure out what a good shot consists of in crunchtime. it's NOT the first one your opponent gives you. Abe needs to fire the coach: jump shot basketball wont't win in the playoffs, not matter how smartly the ball moves around (princeton offense). aside from that, he allows gilbert to take those awful shots. never seen anything like it. it is not a winning combination. hope i didn't spoil anybody's fun.
