Wizards: Quid Pro Quo

By

While I'll agree with Rosen that the WizKids have much to work on in the defense department, here are some things that may have been overlooked in last night's game:

1. The Lakers are a unique group of lanky forwards and guards, and that presented problems both offensively and defensively for the considerably shorter (and less athletic) Wizards.

2. It's harder to break down East-West matchups in comparison to inter-conference matchups because teams who don't see each other but twice a year don't really prepare the same. While all the Wizards are aware of Kobe (and to a lesser extent, Kwame Brown), who knew that center Brian Cook could hit a 3-pointer?

3. For the Stat Lovers: actually, the Wizards were par for course and it was the Lakers who came up sort defensively this time around.

4. Kobe hinted (actually he didn't hint; he was pretty clear) that Gilbert Arenas was a chucker, which is funny considering that their stats this season are fairly similiar.

We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
