Re: Battle for the most Balls!!
So after a 13pt half for Nick Young, he STILL isn't the 1st shooting guard off the bench. I guess he just didn't "earn" it.
F U Tap.
I swear to god, the phrase "earn your minutes" is the new "energy and activity" for the Wizards coaching staff.

Nothing like chilling out your hottest shooter in the first half.
Of course, Nick will come out cold and the haters will be like, he's sooooo inconsistent.

We should play Opec and DS = No passes / No buckets.

I agree that it's going to take a lot of DS in the 4th quarter (say 0-6) for us to have a good chance to pull out this loss.

I don't mind winning ball games so long as McGee and Young (and other youngsters) are winning it for us -- as they're doing right now.

The sole purpose of the rest of the season should be to get the young players valuable playing time. Screw Mike James. Let Crit start.

Re: Battle for the most Balls!!
By the way -- coincidence that we're blowing a team out when our young guys are getting big minutes?
(Yes, I know we're playing the Clippers, but we're the Wizards....we shouldn't blow out anyone)

Is it safe to say that the Clips will finish with a worse record than us? Good lord they are horrible.

If we beat Memphis, so help me god. You better just start thinking about constructive ways to add extra balls to the hopper that you have cost this team.JWizmentality wrote:I apologize for my gamethread everyone. I'm just too great.

That's so not fair, they've lost like 12 straight.

Good to see a win, I'm not sweating the ping pong ball thing. Even if the Clips end up getting a higher pick than us, they'll end up blowing it.
Baron Davis and Marcus Camby have to be disgruntled to be playing out their golden years on such a miserable team.

This is a tough one.
We are 2nd worst with 20 something game left.
At this point I'm wondering about that mysterious CB tight hamstring. I'm thinking they can use that excuse for a few games. Why not this one ?
Oklahoma City 15 45 .250
LA Clippers 15 46 .246
Washington 14 46 .233
Sacramento 13 48 .213
OKL played Dallas twice in 3 game. Lost by 2 one and won the other...OKL is on a 2-1 roll. I think we tank this one to build some distance for a GA return.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- With franchise cornerstones Kevin Durant and Jeff Green out with injuries, Russell Westbrook and the last-place Oklahoma City Thunder could easily have been overlooked by any team.
The Dallas Mavericks might not be so quick to dismiss their neighbors to the north the next time.
Westbrook had his first triple-double of his rookie season with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and midseason pickup Nenad Krstic added a season-high 26 points as the undermanned Thunder beat Dallas 96-87 Monday night despite playing without their two leading scorers.
Then we rack up another loss at SA. That leave us 20 game. Nice round number for a GA return against Dallas. Been all out practicing since Feb 24th. 17th could be 3 weeks.
This is a tough one. To make it this far and still be 2nd to last. I really think we need to see GA but when? We need to keep playing McGee, Crit and DMAC. Maybe we can just see GA without CB and AJ. We know what they can do together. GA needs court time just to get it out of the way. I think I'll push back my 20 game prediction to 15 games like what had been reported. Just enough to get some rust off without worrying about winning to many. Or you do the 20 game but only play him like 5 minutes for 5 games and maybe keep CB out with the hamstring.
