Just look at those hot spots son! Bask in their warmth…but not too long, you might get a tan.

Not only did D-Song go off with an 8-9 FG, 19 point performance against the T-Wolves, but those stats are from his last TEN games.

Before the All-Star break, Darius “Dirty” Songaila played in 52 games, starting 10, and dropped 6.1 ppg on 50% shooting. In the 11 games since the break, all starts, he is draining 65.9% of his shots and scoring 11.5 points per.

Ernie Grunfeld, you MUST keep this pasty white, Justin Timberlake impersonating, choir boy on this team….he will be a key role player in the future.

Bullets on the Wizards:

• A piece I wrote about Abe Pollin on NBCWashington.com has not exactly been well received. Oh well…. I still stand by my assertion that it’s time for team ownership to change hands. Nothing against Mr. Pollin, as I think he’s done some very great things for the franchise and for the city. However, every view of him need not be looked at through rose-colored glass. Speaking of….I’ve yet to read Washington Post (Mike Wise) and Washington Times (Tim Lemke) pieces on Polllin, but I’m about to.

• Also….Ivan Carter’s gut says that Flip Saunders will be the next coach of the Wizards.

• “Motivation’s not a problem for me, even though our season hasn’t gone the way we wanted, teams are coming after us, seeing us as a game they should easily win. These teams are bringing their ‘A’ games, so we should, too.” -Antawn Jamison

• [Washington Wizards Blog] Caron Butler told us in the radio post-game Monday that he plans to continue to drive to the basket more.

• [Bullets Forever] A guy that averages 7.8 minutes per game and has only played in 21 games this season probably doesn’t strike you as a guy that could be having a historic season. Yet when you check the stats, you’ll realize that Oleksiy is closing in on something that very few players have ever done: Going an entire season without recording an assist.

• [Wizards Insider] In terms of a grade and given his salary, history and role, I’ll give Juan a C for the season.

What the shit kind of Michael Jordan Wizards rip off is this?

Evidently these things are designed by Michael Lau, some toy designer from Hong Kong. Not sure how I feel…they seem cool….but damn MJ! Could you have at least made the playoffs while in DC?

Finally:

To honor D-Song….and his FIYAA!! (or fire for you proper people), I’m going to let M.O.P. handle the outro. Now I’m off to see the Wiz take on CP3.
