Lesson learned?

Come on Johnny....trash talk didn't lose the series.  Our probs were plenty before the series began:  it's been an injury-prone season (again)....Gil, CB, AD, and Etan; we don't have a big-boy / wide-body for all those games we were out-rebounded (we didn't make a move before the trade deadline); maybe the Princeton offense is only good for the NCAA?; we were on the rear-end of many many bad calls by the refs all season long....ask Steve and Phil!

It's simple, a great team that gets to the finals has to be:  healthy, wealthy, and wise! (an old adage that has meaning in the sports world)

GO WiZ!!!

I hope the Wizards stay just the way they are.

Next year will be four in a row.

I can smell 4 in a row already.  Flushing the wiz is too easy.  They might be cursed.  Maybe they'll start winning again if they change their name back to the bullets.

I'm not sure you should call players cancers yet. DeShawn said something foolish. I remember Kobe Bryant demanding a trade, does that make him a cancer? I'm not equiting DeShawn's play with Kobe's, but DeShawn brings the club together in the locker room.

That said, Nick Young is almost ready to take his starting spot. Nick is a much better offensive player and can be just as good a defensive player. With the way Caron plays, he's not going to always be healthy. But with Blatche backing him up, it could end up ok.

If there was one move I think the Wizards could benefit from, it would be picking up a guy like Tyrus Thomas to be a rebounder/shot blocker inside.
