Wins like this go a long way to recruiting hordes of reckless crazies back to the seats. Still haven't crossed the .500 line, its fair to give a little slack wondering if it's sustainable, we've been kicked in the nutsack of hope too many times to be completely unguarded. But as soon as playoffs are inevitable I suspect the atmosphere in the house starts to enrich and get rowdy.
Doc hits it on the head. I think Wizards fans are reluctant to get too emotionally invested in the team because when ever they do something to excite you, they go right back to disappointing you. If the Wizards start winning consistently and stop having let downs at home and against lesser teams, you will see a stronger more focal fan base. Bottom line...the fans don't trust this team yet.
Exactly. As I said in the game thread, we're passionate but cautious due to a long
history of being burned. So we root scared a lot of the time. Crowd came on strong
and showed appreciation down the stretch. Awesome game.
