    Why do we keep playing these 3-4 guard lineups?

    What is with these lackadaisical starts? This starting lineup outside of Camara, seems 'too cool for school' in their approach to the start of games. Washington is crap! This is embarrasing.

    Can Chauncey force our starters to sprint a mile before the game starts? Why do they always come out comatose?

    Yep. I used to think that it was the previous group of players who would always play down to their opponents level, but apparently it's infiltrated the franchise as a whole and that stink doesn't go away.

    Maybe they're hoping the "broken clock" axiom will break in their favor.

    You know it's bad when a team that is purposely tanking salivated when they looked at the schedule and saw the Blazers were next.

    The offense without Ant is eye gouging bad. They have no method of getting good shots.

    These Wizards are shooting the lights out.

    The win against the Suns kind of reminded me of our win against the Raptors. A solid three point shooting team not making shots they usually do and us getting a win we weren't expected to get. I do think that we were making the Suns take worse shots than that Raptors game at the beginning of the season where they were just missing wide open ones... it's just we need a team to either shoot bad or really force them to in order to get any win.
