« Previous EntriesA Fan’s Goodbye to JaVale and NY
Friday, March 16th, 2012All things end, whether good or bad. The trade that sends Nick Young and JaVale McGee to Denver concludes the run for two of the more interesting characters to ever play pro hoops in DC.

Gilbert Arenas And DeShawn Stevenson Hazed Nick Young
Tuesday, February 28th, 2012From Capital Games’ wonderful 10 things with Nick Young:
6. My first NBA purchase was a pair of Louis Vuitton glasses. They cost like, $600 or $700. I never imagined myself spending that much on a pair of glasses. When I got ‘em, the sad thing about it was Gil and DeShawn was hazing me and [...]
Two-Win Wizards Campaign For Four All-Stars (New Traditions!)
Wednesday, January 25th, 2012I was going to link to this but decided it needs its own post. Do the Wizards really think a 2-15 team deserves four All-Stars? Do the Wizards really think any of these four have played to the level of an All-Star?
I understand marketing, and engaging the fan base. I get that. BUT, I think [...]

Behold Nick Young’s Offensive Flowchart
Friday, February 11th, 2011Nick Young is having a pretty good year, averaging a career-high 17.6 points per game and shooting a career-best 44.7 percent from the field. That said, he’s also only averaging 1.3 assists in 31.5 minutes per game. Hence, this (via people of Twitter):

Nick Young Dunks on a Tall Gentleman
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Regulars know we’ve got a Nick Young jones, but it’s been awhile since we’ve mentioned him. Probably because, three years in, it’s unlikely he’ll ever be much of an NBA player. We love him still, and he can still throw down, as evidenced by his dunk on Memphis’ 7′2″ Hamed Hadaddi:
Ah, that’s the good stuff, [...]
