I know that Hammer blew the game at the end but why He didn't received more balls in 2nd half?
Somethimes it looks like teammates don't believe in him.

It's a good point. He dropped a pass or two from Wall and that was it. But in the first quarter, he was playing great. He never really got the ball in the second half.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

The Wizards at least competed.

You guys wanted more three's , you got more three's , and look where it got us.....

finally you whitman haters can suffer the same shame that he has

you guys suck as coaches too.

This is an unfair quote, just because you can't just turn on/off a strategy w/o some time to adjust.
A team that specialized in long twos, needs time to adjust to the 21st century.

This is complete crap, not because you are wrong, but because you think your answer is the right one.

This team cannot shoot, therefore when they shoot large sums of 3's, they stink, which proves the coach's philosophy.

Sure they can make some spot up 3's, but none of these guys besides beal can shoot the 3 ball, they all need 20 minutes to get their shot of and even then they miss.

Look at Butler, hes shooting like 5% from deep the last 30 games.

Beal has the heart of an ANT.

Wall no matter how open he is, it doesnt make his chances better of making a 3, its the same percentage every single time......With Curry if hes open , the chances increase double, with Wall, a halfcourt 3 pointer, is just as the same chance of going in as a three pointer a foot behind the 3 point line.

A quick look at the box score reveals.. this game wouldn't have been close without the made threes.

Take away half those makes and attempts, replace them with twos and the Wizards lose this by double digits.

of course , twist it for your narrative to make sense.

They were 1-7 in the last 6 minutes from Deep, with Gooden out of all people hitting a 3 pointer.

The last 4 shots were all 3 point misses.

They try to get better shots and surely they dont go scoreless like they did.

[wizfactor94]

Wall came in with game tied?

Sessions subbed out and game was lost.

Wizards made bad decisions and some of this is Wall.

Did you watch, or are you reading the play by play? Not what happened at all.

Game was lost by missing free throws down the stretch and giving up second chance baskets.

They missed 6 three pointers in the last 6 minutes, 6 possessions scoreless

They had 9 Total possessions in those 6 minutes, 6 of them were threes missed, one was a 3 made by Drew **** Gooden, they deserve to lose.

The Wizards at least competed.

.. in the second half.

[Ruzious]

Somebody bump that Rasual Butler Shrine thread

1-7 three's tonight

Pierce, 3-9

Wall, 2-6

collective 9-28

but this team needs to shoot more 3's

Well, 9 of 28 is 32.1%, so they scored an average of 0.96 on their 3 attempts.

On 2 point shooting, they made 41.5%, so they scored an average of 0.83 points on their 2 attempts.

[wizfactor94]

This team needs better personell, better management

If they had a good stretch 4, and a legit three point shooter who moves around (Korver/Ray Allen) , then they become that much better..

but no they parade around all spot up shooters who barely can shoot, and Porter and Temple, who nobody fears.

19 games left, Wizards are 5 games out of the 9th spot.

Might be better off without making the playoffs.

Is wall pulling a draft day Steve Francis?

Randy lost tonight when he took Sessions and Gooden out. Wall and Pierce came back and the Bucks regained momentum.

[queridiculo]

Wouldn't bother me in the least if it guaranteed that Grunfeld would no longer be with the team in any capacity.

Yea, maybe they should just shoot 85 three pointers , and 0 2 pointers,

they would win every game.

They missed too many when they could have went to the bucket, or got a better shot......surely those 6 missed down the stretch could have been dump offs for a layups or more free throws.

The time is ticking with him, he needs to go.

Wall should have willed Middleton to miss his 3, and Wall should have willed Pierce to make his 3.

I hope not. That would be utterly ridiculous. Randy is gone with a first-round loss so I would hope they don't fall apart. I mean, we did play better than I expected tonight without Beal and Hump. Still not good enough. There's no reason this team can't at least be .500 down the stretch. Their belief in themselves, their teammates and the coach has to be at an all-time low.

Wow.

Sessions and Gooden are terrible NBA players, CCJ.

How about Wall and Pierce lost the game when they came in after good rest.

Put the blame on those bums for coming in and taking a dump on the court.

Sorry. I did NOT WATCH.

GLEN CONSOR said starters came back and game was lost.

A caller called and said Wittman should have stuck with guys who got them back in.

I listened when Wall hit the threes in the third. I heard from 17 down to tied at 63. Then I had family interrupt with something.

Queridiculo, thank you.

Who missed and who didn't box out or board? Were the second chance points off long rebounds?

At least they competed.

Consor says Gortat and Nene combined for 8-14.

John took 14 himself.
Pierce took 14 himself

Consor says that is the problem.

Really? Sessions? I'm sure Randy wants to keep his star point guard on the bench late in the game. That would definitely improve their relationship. As for Pierce, I have no problem putting him in late. That's what he's here for. The Bucks actually guarded him. Gave him no good looks late.
