If you want to argue over semantics, so be it. But this team is and always has been very mediocre. Good for a 4-5 seed at best in the utlra weak Eastern Conference and a first round exit in the playoffs.

did anyone else appreciate that the line up was Mavericks vs. Washington during the debate?

Fact: The Wizards aren't good to begin with. That's not clearly a fact. If they actually had the roster that Abe Pollin pays for on the floor, they are good. Probably not great, but good. If you start with Arenas, Butler, Jamison, Blatche and Haywood - that's a pretty good team with a decent bench.

Fact: The Wizards are still far and away the best they've (and/or The Bullets) been since the early eighties. It's not championship-worth-- but hey, I'm still enjoying the fact that we make the playoffs every year. It really would be a shame to lose Jamison, as he has been the Zards most consistent performer. The starting five is definitely not one of the best talent-wise in the league, but I think this may be the deepest team in the franchise's history.

You might as well keep Caron in that plastic bubble till October 2009. This season is over before it started.
