Preseason game thread #3: Bulls vs Wiz

A.K.A. Gilbert Arenas' worst nightmare.

Word from the radio is that Gordon is out but Joe Smith will play. I'm expecting an update from KC Johnson sooner or later, and that's what he gets for doing a good blogging job thus far: raised expectiations. If you want to know which Wizards will suit up I'd check here for the latest information.

It's tough to take these games seriously if Jason Gardner [er...Thomas Gardner. -ed] keeps starting at the two, and the backup is Luol Deng. So I basically just watch for Tyrus and Noah to create havoc.

Technically this thread is 'open', but try and keep the Kobe stuff in this diary. I'm stubbornly refusing to get swept up in the whole thing, and instead just remembering that we have Pax and they have Mitch Kupchak, so any deal will likely turn out pretty good. For the Bulls, not Lakers. Kupchak has proven to be an idiot, that's that I'm trying to say.

Jason Gardner?
Do you mean Thomas Gardner or am I missing something?

I'm sure he does.
Oh, and Matt, we all need to email KC and tell him he needs to blog at least once a day.  Start a blog and then go days without updating it......geesh.

Start a blog and then go days without updating it
Yeah!
Waddup wit DAT??   :-)

Speaking of Gardner, why is he starting if he'll likely be on the IA list most of the year?

Him and BG - Trade rumour?   (just kidding)  :-)

Noce....is he still HERE?

I get to
engrossed in the games to post during the games. It's different than baseball. What do you think of this team so far? I like what I'm seeing. Hope Ben gets back Friday night.

I do believe that League Pass
is the best $159 I've ever spent in my life.

League Pass
Sure beats blowing DOUBLE that to watch the silly pooh-pooh bears stink up the place...  (sigh)

Noc
just keeps on firing. Something I don't like to see.

by Option27 on Oct 16, 2007 8:03 PM CDT   0 recs

I wish I could remember which of the many
billions of preseason reviews I read it in, but one of them referred to Noc as in danger of becoming a black hole - the ball goes to him and no one else on the team sees it again.  I like Noc, but not if he's trying to be the primary offensive threat.  Especially if it's not dropping much (like tonight).

I'm not a huge Noc fan either....
But he HAS drained a few including a 3...

See
I'm a big fan of Noc's but this new Noc needs to stop throwing up shots like he's out number 1 option

by Option27 on Oct 16, 2007 8:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Allow me to re-phrase....
I do appreciate Noc for his heavy D and work ethics and heart...

But like you, I DON'T like him shooting too much, especially when the game is on the line.
It should be in someone else's hands at that point.

like David Duchovny
...in zoolander, Noah's got great hands.  It's nice to have a young big that has no questions regarding his effort and hands.  
And, I'm hopeful that the experts were wrong about Deng last year: this year will be his breakout year.

Is this
ANY indication of how bad the Wizards might be this year ?

by Option27 on Oct 16, 2007 8:26 PM CDT   0 recs

To quote you...
I know it's preseason... (j/k)

They're not looking good, are they?  Which, considering offense is what the Wiz do, would seem to cause some concern for this season.

On the other hand, I don't imagine there will be  a ton of nights that Jamison and Arenas are a collective 0 for 11.

They did win their first three preseason games...

If anyone's watching on ESPN gamecast
Pecherov looks like a zombie in his thumbnail photo.

On the telecast
they're talking about him looking like Stewie from Family Guy

Ha!

Thank you
the 7-foot, 3-point shooting zombie/stewie hybrid has brightened my day.

Tom and Red
gave Stacey so much crap about this. Stacey is right though.

To quote me again
I love Aaron Gray....

He just reminds me of something this team has needed for a long long time

by Option27 on Oct 16, 2007 8:33 PM CDT   0 recs

something this team has needed for a long long tim
Agreed.
Just hope Pax has the sense to keep him.
He could be huge (pun?) in the post.

I want jimmy johns!

Noc....is he still HERE?

by Bluelou on Oct 16, 2007 8:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I swear
If he was 19, would the Lakers think he's as untouchable as Bynum?

by Option27 on Oct 16, 2007 8:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I like him too.

thomas
is having a very forgetable first half...
Aaron gray shows promise as a post-scoring option...
The Wizards look terrible and Antawn just sprained his ankle...

Thomas was fine until,
he started playing with crappy guards.  It's why he needs to start so he doesn't have to play with Duhon.

by Scotter on Oct 16, 2007 8:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm more
concerned about his rotations on defense.  Looking a minute late and a dollar short.

this team is loaded with
young talent, Aaron Gray is a keeper. I like the whole team! When did the Bulls become the Lake Show? Sweet pass by Curry. Nice layup by Dr. J I mean Dr. Viktor. Nice music on Stacey King's tely.

I I wish
we could see more of khryapa.  He seems like a nice compromise between noah and nocioni.  Whens this team going to make some trades.  Even Duhon has to be worth something...he isnt that bad.  Teams got too much talent. I feel bad for the  players not getting any playing time who can clearly play.

You'll see more of him

By the way . . .
I love it when Noah screams when he dunks. I know it's lame but I love it.

As an opposing player, I would be like "What the fuck are you yelling about?"

It's so dumb, I love it
