The Wizards added more guards and wing players to make them even more one dimensional. Most improved? If Oberto is that big a deal, we shoulda kept him.

It's hard not to win more than 19 games.

But are they counting injuries from last year in the grade. Yea they'll win more if healthy. But they arent better than a healthy wizard team from last year. if so, not by much.

Injuries were the first thing they mentioned.

Oberto is more of a medical crap shoot than Ben Wallace.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one that just posts for the sake of posting sometimes.

whatever floats your boat Glin. Not anyone could tell you otherwise.

Just bustin' your chops a bit since you haven't been around much.

I even jabbed myself in the process.

Is Ben a medical crap shoot? He's just getting old, he doesn't have a huge injury history.

Injuries since the start of the 2007 season:

left ankle
right foot
back spasms
bone spurs in left foot
dizziness
lacerated arm
broken leg
knee issues

Wow. Ummm, I rescind my comment.

Those were just the injuries big enough to lead to lost playing time. Yeah, I honestly figured that the years added up and he was retired for good.

Still, none of what Ben's gone through seems as bad to me as the surgery Oberto had. I'm expecting him to be some other team's Zelly, at best.

also there was the Skiles/headband incident which cost him to miss a game,---but that's not really an injury

It led to shrunken Ego Sydrome...
He also had the mysterious Leg fatigue syndrome

That was the 2006 season... wouldn't have counted in any event. His biggest mental injuries involve free throws.

I hope ben has something left in the tank but I have my doubts. I wish we could see his vertical to see what he's got!
