Now they're DEFINITELY getting bounced in the first round. Jamison isn't 100% himself.

Funny. Look at the Wizards this year who have had multiple injuries to their 2 of their 3 best players and now Arenas. Yet, they still have a 39-35 record.

Wait, I thought injuries only happened to the Knicks?

That's what you get out of this. I can assure you that they won't be bouncing back from this one tho. In fact they had been losing since Butler went down so I wouldn't say they actually handled it well either.

Besides you're again comparing us to a team that has been together longer and under the same system for some time. We only just this year have been able to establish what we want to do and even then it's a work in progress. Don't compare us to better teams cuz that's not a fair comparison. That's like someone who used Dallas and their injuries as a comparison. I mean come on!

You got an excuse for EVERYTHING. If you don't work in PR, you really should, it would be a fantastic career move for yourself.

Wrong Arenas, Jamison, and Butler have only been playing together for 2yrs. Arenas and Jamison have been playing together for 3yrs the same amount of time Marbury and Crawford have been playing together. Popping off at the mouth as usual without having your facts straight.

Well yeah, they lost their top 2 players. Unlike the Knicks who lost their 3rd and distant 4th best players. Q's absence doesn't even count anymore since Isiah admitted that he was damaged goods when he traded for him.

This is bad for the Wiz but it's REALLY bad for us. Needless to say, they're done but look at this....

The Nets play them 2 more times. The Magic play them once more. The Pacers play them once more. Us? No more games against Washington.

Weirdo Gil going down is really bad for us.

Nice, now we're using injuries to other teams players as an excuse.

Awesome.

HEY I back up what I say more often than you CLOWN! Don't get me started. HOW LONG has this group we have now been playing under the same system? Since we just added most of the players on this team between last year and this one, you know that we've been together as a TEAM for less time. You think that counting Steph and Jamal is enough to warrant that this TEAM has been together and playing with the same system for the same amount of time as the WIZ? How about you get your freakin facts straight?

How long have the Raptors been together? Not longer than the Knicks but they seem to have gotten it together, even in the absence of 2 of their main guys.

Keep coming up with the excuses.

Arenas has been playing for the Wizards 4yrs was hurt for 30gms almost his first season

Marbury has been playing for the Knicks 4yrs

Jamison has played for the Wizards 3yrs

Jamal has played for the Knicks 3yrs

Butler has played for the Wizards 2yrs

Curry has played for the Knicks 2yrs

Deshawn Stevenson has played for the Wizards 1yr

Jared Jeffries has played for the Knicks 1yr

Antonio Daniels has played for the Wizards 2yrs

Jerome James has played for the Knicks 2yrs

Jarvis Hayes has played for the Wizards 4yrs

Malik Rose has played for the Knicks 2-3yrs

Darius Songalia has played for the Wizards 1yr

Kelvin Cato has played for the Knicks 1yr

Andre Blatche has for the Wiz 2yrs

David Lee, Nate Robinson, Channing Frye have played for the Knicks 2yrs




The only difference Wizards Brendan Haywood and Etan Thomas(scrubs) and Eddie Jordan as coach. Although Eddie has been with the Wiz about as long as ISAYUGH'e been here. The Knicks had a sabatoge yr last yr by everyone but other than that everything is pretty similar in regards to core players/overall roster.

it just seems like every year, there's a team that sort of just comes together and makes a push. the raps bring in 9 new players and make a HUGE charlie v for tj ford deal (a classic pg) and then BAM, they click on all cylinders and are going to win the atlantic with 45 wins or so. and you said it, they lose bargnani and garbajosa, their starting pf and best guy off the bench, and they go 8-2 during that stretch. they also went 6-6 in december when bosh went down. i mean talk about beat the bushes - colangelo goes international, brings in cheap labor and it just works.

why is it so difficult for us? at some point, all fans must realize it's personnel and the guy that brought them here.

Why would any fan want their Pride to Crutch an excuse is beyond explanation. For every 1 excuse here there's 2-3 phenomenums elsewhere. Excuses are for the Weak and Bruised.

Well, in fairness to the Knicks, the Wizards just lost Butler and Arenas. THey were relatively healthy for the majority of the year. So it is not like the Wizards have been playing without Butler and Areanas for half the year. In contrast, Q has been in and out of the lineup. Jeffries missed the first part of the season. Crawford and Lee have been out for about a month.

A bit of what I was saying was tongue in cheek Game. You can NOT count Q as someone who got injured and we suddenly can start blaming his back for his injury. Isiah knew he had horrible back issues when he brought him here and that he could break down any time. Jamison missed just as much time as Crawford has missed and by the time the end of the year comes, Butler will have missed more time than any Knick, and Gilbert as long as Jeffries. Those 3 players are all better than any one Knick.
