McGee might be the dumbest player in the NBA.
The Washington Wizards suspended forward Andray Blatche and center JaVale McGee for one game Saturday for conduct detrimental to the team.
They will miss the team's game Sunday at San Antonio.
"After further investigation into an incident on Thursday night, we concluded that Andray and JaVale conducted themselves in an unprofessional manner," Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said.
The Washington Post said on its website that Blatche and McGee were involved in an altercation outside an area club early Friday. The newspaper reported that two league sources said the players cursed at each other and exchanged punches. The Post said another source said police were called to break up the fight.

NOBODY BEATS THE WIZ! NOBODY!
spurs need to come out blow them out the first half and not play manu,tp and duncan the second half
they will be needed against the lakers and mavs
they fought each other at a club? bahaha
Trap.
No Wall, no Yi and now no Blatche and McGee. Four of the top nine players (including the best player) on an already near terrible team, missing.
In other words, a win is only a win if Duncan doesn't have to exceed 20 minutes and Ginobili and Parker don't have to exceed 25 minutes. If any one of them has to play in the fourth quarter, I'll consider this game a loss.
And even though the compe ion is less than stellar, I want to see a win, not just because the Spurs' offense picks apart their inept defense, but because the Spurs' defense stifled them and they dominated them on the glass.
A win is a win regardless. I don't put unrealistic expectations on regular season games. It's unproductive.
Not when you're a team with championship aspirations. What's unrealistic about expecting the Spurs to wallop the depleted Wizards? They've had two days off, they're at home. No excuse not to annihilate this team.
Especially when you consider the upcoming schedule. The Spurs need to have this one in the bag early in order to bank as much energy as they can for the Lakers and the Mavs.
If the Spurs need to "conserve energy" for games 2 days away, our boys might as well just hang 'em up now.
wonder whats the LV odds for this, this is a automatic win easy money to make
Saving legs for the playoffs is obviously a priority...but making it a modus operandi is stretching things a bit. Still gotta do what you gotta do to win games.
Hinrich/Hudson
Young/Thornton
Lewis/Thornton
Booker/???
Armstrong/???
Wizards will be playing literally 3 quality NBA players.
Josh Howard should be playing.
Fine, they don't "need to" conserve energy for those two games necessarily, but given the situation they'll find themselves in tomorrow, there's no reason that they should have to expend too much energy.
Probable lineup/rotation . . .
Starters: PF- Lewis, SF- Thornton, C- Armstrong, SG- Young, PG- Hinrich
Bench: SF- Howard, PF- Booker, PF/C- Seraphin, SG/PG- Hudson, SF- Martin, C- Ndiaye
That's five established, better than fringe NBA players.
Seeing the way the Spurs have been playing down to shorthanded teams lately, it wouldn't surprise me if this game is close. Then again, the Spurs are coming out of an embarrassing loss so they should play with more fire.
What if they will grind out a win against Wiz and then put LA and Mavs away easily?
The Wizards always find a way to lose. This team is full of stupid players.
The Wiz' talent level for tonights game obviously drops... but the overall team IQ went up considerably.. so the Spurs still have to be careful.
The Spurs cant look past Washington to Tuesday's showdown with LA. Just take care of business....
Between Blatche and McGee, the Wizards have the dumbest idiots playing for them in the NBA. Showboating idiots who never seem to get it. Did anyone of you see McGee blocking a shot by sending the ball into the crowd and then..collecting it to mock-sign it? That too,in a game where the Wiz were thoroughly defeated? Or both Blatche and McGee missing open looks on fast breaks by trying spectacular dunks from nowhere and ending up looking like assholes? Or that video - The Commercial?
I saw that.. he timed his jump so well he could have caught that ball like a rebound and threw an outlet for a fast break opportunity... instead he es it out of bounds and looks into the crowd for a response like he made an important play.
Eh, it is still NBA talent. We should never underestimate anyone in this league....but we should expect a win.
Expecting is one thing, but saying it's not really a win if they don't, that's just being unrealistic. You, in all your uneducated glory, can expect Tim Duncan to a gold brick and say it's not really a win if he doesn't, but then that doesn't mean anything in the context of win/loss now does it?
The team needs to focus on playing fundamentally sound basketball. Expecting them to seal the deal by the middle of the 3rd is just wishful thinking. It would be nice, but let's be realistic, the Spurs lost to the Clippers. A win is a win.Especially when you consider the upcoming schedule. The Spurs need to have this one in the bag early in order to bank as much energy as they can for the Lakers and the Mavs.
That's not at all being unrealistic. Typical Spurs fan at ude. Any other elite or even near elite team, you put them in the position the Spurs are going into this game, guess what the expectation of their fans would be?
Let me dumb this down enough so that even you can understand. Win/loss, in games like this, is not what it's about for this team, because the win should go without saying. It's about how they get the win.
The Spurs lost to the Clippers mostly because it was the second game of a back-to-back and the end of three-in-four and they were tired (and even then, it was winnable). If that's going to be your logic, then no team in the league is that good, because every last one of them has and will lose to bottom feeders throughout the season.
