OMG Blatche is balling for the Nets.

So for, he had a steal and a coast-to-coast drive where he handled like a guard. On another play did a nasty spin move on the baseline and converted an up-and-under, and-one layup. I've seen him take a charge. And it is STILL the first quarter. Wow.
Bye bye Beal.

Lakers blew a lead and lost to houston. Gasol sat because of tendinitis and started Jamison. I just don't understand what value MWPeace brings that Jamison doesn't make up for with his range. Jamison at the 3 and a front line of Gasol/Howard makes a lot more sense to me.

Don't feel the least bit guilty rooting for the Bobcats. Really fun to watch, but don't tell Ted, apparently poor basketball is to be expected with roster turnover.

Kobe becomes youngest ever to 30,000 points tonight

Bobcats literally handed that game to NYK. Turnover after turnover in a one posession game..

Watching Miami getting beat without Melo and a NY backcourt featuring two aging point guards.

Tyson Chandler is a beast, that's all. If McGee had even the slightest sense that's the guy he should watch and emulate.

Jason Kidd is passed "aged" :lol: ... but he's still a good defender :o

Novak is ice cold though and JR Smith has no conscious whatsoever. Raymond Felton set the tone though, he was quick to the hoop and MIA's lack of shot blocking was exposed tonight as well as their sub par rotations on defense.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

I think this goes to show that traditionally-built teams are generally more successful than gimmick teams.

Heat need a strong screen setting, good rebounding, shot blocking/changing center. Bosh is a PF through and through, and a soft one at that. Joel Anthony isnt going to cut it. Side note: God i hate the way he pronounces his first name...

Even with Bron Bron at PF, the Cryami Heat are still going to need that bruiser in the middle if they want to get past some of the top teams in the east, or some of the teams in the west like the Griz, Lakers etc.

I think they are fine at PG with Chalmers and Cole. They got shooters. Its just a true big man they are lacking. Big men win chips. I know, I know, they won last year, but all I have to say about that is *.

The small-ball lineups are something to pull out when youre up by 10 and you want to push the lead out, or against a weak team.

Jae Crowder hitting the rookie wall a little early

This is only an observation and not intended as a criticism
of the many folks, myself included, who thought he might have
been a good draft choice for us. His current struggles might wind
up being temporary.

Right now, Martell looks better (and he should since MW is a vet).
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

McGee went 9-9 FG and had 20 points, 8 rebounds and finished +17. (Roy Hibbert went 3-10 FG)

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/miller-lea ... --nba.html

McGee dominated the first half and finished with a season-high 20 points off the bench, helping Denver (10-10) win for 13th time in its last 16 games against the Pacers and for the seventh time in the last nine games in Indy.
Bye bye Beal.

DeShawn Stevenson went 5-11 against the Wizards, all 3pt shots. He finished +22 for the game for the Hawks.
Bye bye Beal.

Golden State beat the Nets last night and they look solid so far this year. Steph Curry beasting on his glass ankles and Klay shooting well and there getting contributions up and down the lineup. Won't be easy tonight for the Wiz.

Atlanta went into Memphis and beat the Grizzlies. Horford once again owned the rebounds. The Wizards appear to have played two hot teams these last couple losses.
Bye bye Beal.

Return to Washington Wizards
