As a Wizards fan, I (like many fans) sometimes convince myself of things that aren't actually going to happen. I start believing things like “if Andray Blatche gets some playing time, he could start to look like a young Kevin Garnett” and “Songaila is going to make our post game respectable”. I want to stay positive, but a little critical evaluation can be a good thing. With that in mind, here is my honest look at the backcourt.

I'm psyched for the season to start. The current squad promises be the best Wizards/Bullets team of the last ___ years. A solid nucleus, good role players and a sense of unity should make this season a great one. Let's emphasize the word “should”. This is a good team, but it is by no means guaranteed to be successful. So here are five reasons why the Wiz might suck.

The Clippers should be an improved team over the one we saw a year ago. With their current roster they should at worst be a western conference contender, barring any major injuries. The Tim Thomas signing is big, but they still lack in the perimeter shooting department.

The kid is huge; 7'3" and almost 290 lbs. He's also young(only 21) and aggressive. And he only makes about $700K per year. And yet, we still haven't found a good place for him. You'd think that a mobile big man would have an easy time finding minutes, but Ramos has been bouncing between the L and the NBDL. He played well in the minor league, averaging about 14 and 8 while shooting almost 59% from the field in 29 minutes per game. He still can't find a spot in the rotation, much less on the Wizards roster. So what do we do with him?

Jerry Colangelo, the architect of Team USA announced that Gil strained his groin and will miss the World Championships. So, as I wrote yesterday, he's not going to be one of the 12 to play in Japan. Maybe he can fly back home with Bruce Bowen after Bowen gets cut at the end of the week. Obviously, I'd prefer to see Gil tear apart the French National team and embarass Argentina for what they did to us at the Olympics, but this might be just as well.

Well, so much for Carmelo missing a couple weeks and Antawn stepping in and showing what he's got. In the Team USA rout of Lithuania, Jamison did play 17 minutes and drop 13 points on only seven shots, so he's looking pretty good. Gil on the other hand... He only played 6 minutes and hit one out of two shots. Before the World Championships actually start, Team USA has to cut its roster from 14 to 12.

Bucks Trade Smith to Denver for Patterson

Everyone, including myself thought the Milwaukee Bucks were done trading. We were wrong. Milwaukee traded Joe Smith to the Nuggets for strong forward/shooting guard Ruben Patterson.

Smith, or the beast, has been in a Bucks' uniform since 2003, when the team aquired him from Minnesota. Joe was also a fan favorite for the city.
