Game Thread: Wizards @ Warlocks [1/6/08] 7:00 P.M. An Epic confrontation of MAGIC

[ThisIsTheYear 241]

Washington Generals Wizards

 

AT

 

Orlando Warlocks

 

WHERE?

 

Gortat Palace

 

..errrr

 

Amway Arena (So that fans can attend)

 

Wizards Starters

 

PG: Mike James - Level 5 Wizard

 

Summary: You heard right, James has once more become slightly relevant in the league academy.

 

Strengths: Like most Wizards, he won't attack your defenses with brute strength, though be aware of his unlimited range. Once he catches fire, only level 9 spells can slow him down.

Weaknesses: Again, like with most Wizards he abhors close contact. Pressure him, and he becomes a liability.

 

SG: Caron Butler - Level 8 Wizard

 

Summary: During one of the previous encounters between these two teams, Butler attempted to utilize a cloaking spell but was quickly bludgeoned to the ground by Mickael Pietrus. The direct critical hit to the cranium caused Butler to weep like an old maid and was forced to leave the competition temporarily. Had that been Gortat, I may have had to post a tombstone honoring Caron's bravery.

 

Strengths: Straight up, balla~

Weaknesses: He can't stand another hit. Delivering another blow to the head would be near fatal.

 

SF: Dominic McGuire - Level ? Wizard

 

Summary: Virtually unknown, McGuire has crept his way into the starting lineup. It is unknown as to how this transpired.

 

Strengths: Rebounding

Weaknesses: Reputation

 

PF: Antawn Jamison - Level 10 Wizard

 

Summary: Jamison is elated to discover that the game is to be held at Amway Arena and not Gortat Palace. Jamison has averaged absurd numbers, something like 30ppg over his career against the Warlocks at Amway.

 

Strengths: To put it into one (made up) word: Unfundamentalism. Has the ability to throw up an array of bizarre shots, varying from 15ft baseline jumpers to cooky-looking three-point shots.

Weaknesses: Fatigue. Jamison can't keep this on forever.

 

C: Andray Blatche - Level 5 Wizard

 

Summary: An enigma. Can either impress like a level 7 Wizard, or look like a mere Muggle.

 

Strengths: Blatche has the ability to unleash a levitation spell, allowing him to rise above defenders, as seen in above pic against Warlocks scrub, Dwight Howard.

 

Key Bench

 

SG: Deshawn Stevenson - Level 1 Wizard

 

Summary: A former Warlock. Allegedly cursed with an imbecile spell, he can be seen in the above pic attempting to cover his eyes from Gortat's piercing gaze.

 

Strengths: lololololol

Weaknesses: Insert here _________

 

Wizard Instructor:

 

Ed Tapscott

 

 

Warlocks Starter(s)

 

PG,SG,SF,PF,C,instructor: Marcin Gortat - Level ? Warlock

 

Summary: The ultimate weapon of total annihilation. Smothering him is the opponents top priority. Constantly quintuple-teamed by other teams. *Other three players cannot be seen in pic*

 

Strengths: Insert power here _________

Weaknesses: None

Notable Characteristics: Merciful, although to a minuscule extent.

 

Warlocks Bench, aka "The Scarcely used/The Forgotten/Garbage Time"

 

Jameer Nelson, Keith Bogans, Hedo Turkoglu, Rashard Lewis, Dwight Howard.

 

*Reasoning for lack of pictures is due to a status of unworthiness*

 

Injured Wizard Gilbert Arenas requested to be featured as a last cause.

 

 

quote:

Gil' here.

 

Hey guys, it's been a great ride. I was originally set to return next year, or two years or something....but seeing as how we're playing the Warlocks tomorrow I figured the Hibachi would officially log out.

 

I'd like to thank my family, the fans, and the entire Wizards organization for banking on me.

 

On my tombstone I want it to read: July 13, 2008: Wizards sign Gilbert Arenas to a six-year $111 million dollar contract, otherwise recognized as the greatest heist of all-time, highway robbery, etc, etc.

 

Anyways, yours truly, Gil'. Peace,

 

Gilbert Arenas

January 6, 1982-January 6, 2009

Made it to 27!

 

Daily Warlock fact

 

FACT: Larry Bird patterned his jumpshot after Marcin Gortat.

Diffrent...I give you that...

 

The jump shot observation is hilarious!

 

Warlock does have a tattoo of Michael Jordan

 

I guess he built his game based off multiple NBA legends...

 

Magic BLOW OUT WIZ!

 

Magic 112

Wizards 82

 

Dwight Howard is 100% from the foul line..12 of 12!

 

 

 

P.S. Shouldnt the Home team be first in the thread..After all they are the team we are rooting for...arnt they?

[Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260]

a must win with the ATL back to back coming up...hopefully that defense is back for this one...Washington has played much better as of late, not winning, but playing better, and they did just stop the LBJ Express...

 

Go Blue!

[TheRevTy 6]

Man, I love this board.

 

Who needs boring information when you can have entertaining misinformation?

[Live or Die Magic 383]

The oneupmanship with the game threads continues.

 

TITY, I love you (and I always have).

 

Magicdepth....out of fear of spell retribution, you should apologize for insulting the Warlock game thread.

[Osprey 199]

TITY, you rarely impress, but this thread impresses me.

 

+100 Martini's to you, and may Gortat himself smile upon this thread and your family.

[ThisIsTheYear 241]

Thanks guys. I figured we never had an official Warlock thread, which was pure blasphemy, so I took it upon myself to confront that ordeal.

I'm gonna hold you to that.

awesome....One day, Gortat will be the president of the universe..

[gporter 5]

Anybody else think Lee should be getting the start until Pietrus comes back, he is the future after all.

I think it would hurt the energy level in our 2nd unit. I do think he deserves it but we need that boost coming off the bench as well.

 

Hilarious game thread TITY

[Mr Charisma 0]

Fun thread, TITY. I, for one, have no problem with not showing the Magic players. My guess is that, if you are a member of this forum, you've seen more pictures of these guys than Hutch has of Diener.

 

Dwight, Shard, Hedo and Nelson - 100

Wizards - 88
