The Wizards are going to contend for the title

[elcheato]

Wizards forward Antawn Jamison says that the team is talking about contending for a title this season.

"I've been around here for six years and championship talk wasn't a norm around our locker room. That's all we're talking about now," Jamison told the Washington Post. "If we stay healthy, I think we can compete with the upper echelon of the NBA."

That's certainly bold talk coming from a team that won just 19 games last season.

"I don't care," Jamison added. "What you mean raising the bar too high? We won 19 games last year and I'll be honest with you, we didn't have a lot of our horses. But I don't have anything else to play for. I'm not going to sit here and sugar coat things because it's not the right thing to say. I believe it.

"I believe playing the game the right way and staying healthy, we can compete with Boston, we can compete with Cleveland and Orlando and if you can compete with those teams, you can put yourself in that category as far as teams that can contend for a championship."

That's... lofty.

Really don't see them competing with Boston, Cleveland, or Orlando.

 

[The Young One]

Its always good for a team to have high hopes but be realistic now.

he makes it sound like they had 4 all stars on their team injured last year. the wizards don't nearly have as much talent has orlando, cleveland, and boston have.

Gilbert will probably be injured again sadly, or maybe not the same player being injured all the time.

I don't know about a title, but they are definitely a better team than they were last year.

This.

Playoffs yes, title no.

I think Gilbert is overrated anyways.... They'll make the playoffs but they cant compete with the Big 3 in the East.

How do you go from talking about the Lions to the Patriots afterwards?

Lions went 0-16

Yes I know, 'twas just a mistake

Can't wait to see what happens when he doesn't live up to this.
