Great team win with contributions all up and down the roster.
This is the team that I predicted would win 39 games. Sadly,
now that it's nearly Feb and they're only starting to play like
this, my prediction won't be close. Very exciting game. Nice
to see Wall seal the deal with (Beal, sorry couldn't resist)
with a great defensive play and 2 made FTs after the disappointment
in SACTown.

Ty Lawson is really good.

If seraphin could screen like Booker he'd open up so much more for our playmakers, I hope he realizes its in his best interest as well. It was good to see him play well though. I hope the guys enjoy it, tomorrow could either be another astonishing surprise or crash back to reality.

I'm listening to the Denver postgame show. They're calling this the worst loss of the year.

Their tears taste so sweet!

Still not sold on Booker because he's never healthy. But he's a physical force and doesn't play scared unlike Ves. That backup 4 spot and starting 4 spot when Nene is out, has killed us all year (other than PG).

Seraphin did NOT play like a sissy. Clutch made FTs, clutch
play several times in the 4th. Our big rotation with
Nene, Okafor and Sera looked pretty darn solid tonight.

Koufos is terrible and McGee is erratic. If they had a really good five they'd be tough to stop.

Koufos is a solid post defender. So is Faried, albeit undersized.

Lawson was the best player on the court tonight. Everybody else for Denver, other than Andre Miller late and Corey Brewer early were a complete no-show. That's a lack of focus on Denver's part, but give Washington credit. I know Randy's rotations are absurd at times but he gets this team to play hard almost every game this year. He deserves some credit for that and playing w/o John.

Ladies and gents the Zards are coming. NBA.... I love this game. On their way of putting DC in it's rightful place as a proud basketball town. Great play and a very exciting brand of basketball tonight. JW redeems himself at the line. Encouraging signs.

Imagine if John develops at jump shot like Ty has the last couple seasons.

He'd be Ty Lawson on steroids.

Faried is a player. Koufos stunk tonight but he's a marginal starter at best.

We hadn't shot 50% once all season until Wall came back. Since then we've shot it twice in 4 games.

But yeah, he doesn't make anyone better /green

Agreed. Also, how sad is it that Javale's on 45 mil doesn't even play 20 minutes a game :lol:

Can't wait till Wall develops that jumper. A Beal/Wall backcourt will be unstoppable.

DC Sports finally on the up :rock:

He could have the best PER in the league and trading him was still the
smart move. We got WAY better as soon as he (and Nick) left. Not
necessarily with Ws right away, but just with a steadier, headier
style of basketball.

Nothing that wrong with that.

And missed a key FT at the end and had a huge turnover that they somehow threw away. I don't care about the stats. He usually puts up good numbers. Just not clutch. Needs to be complimentary player not top option. He's a much better scorer than Temple, but I like that kid's defense and his passing.
