Similar to the Past

It’s been a long time. I shouldn’t have left you without a dope post to step to!

Well I’m back!

Day 3 and the Wizards have a 0-17 record. Shout out to Gilbert Arenas.

Also, I need to compliment Zack Bolno on his newest shipment of sweater vests. Your “FLY” meter is dropping quickly.

Let’s get to the business at hand.

The players got the chance to scrimmage yesterday, and in the early Thursday practice. Coach Jordan usually doesn’t start scrimmages until the third day of camp, but he said that his guys were ready to go. They did! Referees and quarters just like a true scrimmage.

Players that are shining right now in camp are DeShawn Stevenson and Antonio Daniels. Stevenson has added a noticeable energy and defensive prowess that should compliment Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler. His affect will be similar to Bobby Dandridge being brought in fill out the lineup with Wes Unseld and Elvin Hayes, in the 1970’s. What did that do for the then Bullets? Glad you asked. It only won them an NBA Championship.

YOU SEE WHERE I’M GOING WITH THIS?

Also Jordan hinted that Center Etan Thomas could be carving his spot as the starter on opening day. That is if he’s stays in one piece. Thomas has a history of missing long amounts of time.

GM Ernie Grunfeld received a contract extension yesterday. Team Owner Abe Pollin told me today that the terms were four additional years to the two that he has remaining. Pollin said that he felt his GM deserved to be rewarded for the excellent re-building job he’s done. Pollin also said that he hasn’t had this much enthusiasm and warranted expectation for the team since there playoff runs in the 70’s and 80’s.

Jordan’s view of Monday’s starting lineup:
1- Gilbert Arenas
2- Caron Butler
3- DeShawn Stevenson
4- Antwan Jamison
5- Brendan Haywood/Etan Thomas

Today’s inuries are simple….
