Editor's Note: Interesting Caron Q&A from the official site. I thought he cut out soda already when he stopped drinking Mountain Dew, but apparently not. -Mike

"I cut out soda this summer. I stopped drinking soda April 8th, I have been away from soda basically the whole summer."

One of his inspirations for the change was Obama.

Crittenton's working with Gil and Cassell

"Sam has really been working with me on my pull-up game. I’ve been working on my one-dribble pull up. He has me working on my shooting consistency and ball-handling drills. With Gil, it is a lot of competition. We play pick-up games a lot and there is a lot of trash talking back and forth. At the end of the day it is only going to make me better. He’s been pushing me a lot in those games and its really helping me out."

The Washington Wizards Blog is reporting that Sam Cassell and Randy Wittman are officially official as assistants on Flip Saunders' staff.

Get ready for more Gollum jokes people.

[Ed. Note - the original fan shot by igetbucketsson was changed and slapped on the front page - Truth]

Two of the names for tomorrow’s workout. Dionte Christmas from Temple and Wesley Matthews from Marquette.

I didn't realize he was second on the team in total rebounds, assists and blocked shots.

More coverage of Saunders. A lot of what you will see and hear in the papers and on CSN, but if you can't get enough info on Flip its worth checking out.

Well thats good news. 1 more chance

The Wizards offical blog throwing out some videos from today.

My favorite Highlights include the Taser adding a three-point shot, nick wanting to get stronger and a lot of positive talk from Gil, Caron and Dray and Mike James on next year.

Well its good to see he's lighting it up, hopefully we can get that on Thursday.

Nothing we haven't heard but it comes from the official team blog TIFWIW.

Looks like Caron's going to be on one of those ESPN.com chats next week.

Ed Note: The chat will take place this Thursday at 2:30 pm EST. Follow the link to submit your questions now.

Coach Tap is now quoting Sun Tzu's the art of war at about 7:40 into his presser today.

"If you know yourself and you know your enemy you fear no battle."
"If you know not yourself and not your enemy you will succumb every time"

90 in a 35 with a 3 year old in the backseat?

"One more quick note on All-Star weekend, G-Man will look to capture his third straight mascot slam dunk contest."

Not sure if its in part one or two but the funniest part to me is when she said he's not a banger like she was. Also find it funny that shes always on him to workout, pretty funny.

Gilbert tries to eat 6 saltines in 60 seconds. Pretty funny. Anyone ever try this?

Also they have a vid of super bowl predictions, I like CB always cheering on the skins.

Well looks like more minutes for JaVale.

[UPDATE]: Wizards Insider has more info.

This quote seems encouraging, no?:
Stevenson added that his back problems will likely remain for the rest of his career. [facetious]

So we arent playing well, at least this guys awesome and gives me my money's worth whenever i go to games. I cant wait til he actually learns how to play ball down low, but I liked that he got into it a little with Gasol yesterday and tried to body him a little (he just needs to add some weight so he can body guys down low). Anyway these photos are sick.
