when do you think gilbert is coming back???

[why so serious?]

I think he will come in the end of march cause right now he is warming up and getting in shape. if they need him desperately then i think he will come back in 2 weeks or so. when do you guys think he is coming back?

[The Dark Knight]

I expect him to come back no later than 2 weeks, he should be healthy and close to 100% by then. He has just started practicing full contact with the team.

[why so serious?]

yea i agree. he said that if his knee isn't ready 100% he won't even try to comeback. hope he stays with the wiz cause he wants to opt out. 2 weeks should be enough for him to get ready.

[The Dark Knight]

Well that is always smart thinking on his part, he has a lot more ears in this league, this is only his seventh year in this league, so I am looking forward to see him fully recovered from his knee surgery.

[why so serious?]

dude arenas better be back cause i want to see him drop 40 every night. its been a long time. hopefully he can come as soon as possible cause the playoffs are about to starts and everyone wants him to prepare for that. nothings worse then seeing your captain not in the playoff 2 years in a row. but i think that will likely happen cause he will be back.

[The Dark Knight]

Well Gilbert is known to take over games which is a big upside for a Seventh Seed team most likely facing the #2 team which is Detroit. We need a huge performance from Butler, Jamison, Deshawn Stevenson, and the very underrated Nick Young.


Nick Young would be my X-Factor for the whole playoffs, he will be the guy that comes into the games for Gilbert, who won't be playing 40+ a night, so Nick Young will have to make wise decisions with the ball as well as Roger Mason.



Antawn will do a good job on Rasheed Wallace like he always does, Antawn can cover Sheed on the three point line, and can take him in the paint. But I think Rip Hamilton might struggle during those games because Caron is a good defender, so it will be interesting to see that match up.

As for the Pistons, I expect Tayshaun to have big games, most likely Eddie Jordan will want Caron defending Rip, so that will leave Deshawn Stevenson to guard Tayshaun. That is also a good match up, both are good defenders, but Tayshaun is more versatile.

Will be interesting to see these two teams play eachother in the playoffs, Washington has proved that they can take on the Elite teams in the NBA.

[why so serious?]

I don't think prince will be much of a factor is he isn't that guy who can bring up huge numbers. the only problem that i am worry about is their defense and their experience cause the wizards are fine with offense but defense they need to work on it more often to order to beat the pistons. and for experience wizards have too much young guys like blatche, roger mason, nick young and so on. and the pistons have like veteran who know the game well and know what it takes to win a championship. so thats the reason why i think the wizards should work on.

[The Dark Knight]

LOL, you can't really work on experience that just comes by the players the Wizards staff wants. Wizards are a very young team, but remember match ups are not everything. Liike you said, the Pistons have been a dominant team  for many years now, and most of them have been together for quite some time now. It will be hard to imagine the Wizards winning in this type of situation but I still have faith. In the playoffs, what it comes down to is who is playing the best basketball and who isn't having a good game.

[why so serious?]

yea if the wiz players can be healthy and arenas then they might have a good chance.

[The Dark Knight]

Well the Wizards have a better chance to get into the second round, we are the sixth seed in the East and three games behind Toronto of the Fifth seed. If we can win our next few games, we can get that fifth seed and hopefully face the Raptors in the playoffs.

[andyandy!!]

you guys are right, you 2 are the only ones that post on the wizards board LOL, it's all good though.

[Skippy]

One or both of you guys should me mod :wink:

[MoGrady]

Arenas is going to opt out and go for max money. Weither the Wizards are going to re-sign him to max contract is now the question.

you wish he was with the heats lol. they already got wade who can score so why need gilbert and if he opts out and goes to a new team it won't be the heats cause he wants to be in a championship team. but i hope he sticks with the wizards though.
