Maybe shard might come better come playoffs.I thought we signed him for cheap, and he could have went elsewhere for more.

Was very tired when watching the game last night, which makes me unsure of what I think I saw. Was there an UD-jumper sighting? I believe it is so.

Yes.. quite a few actually.. He had his best offensive game so far.. Everyone played well for us.. Joel.. Pittman.. everyone.. I hope Spo keeps giving minutes to Joel and Pittman.. Joel surprised me a lot yesterday with a hook shot and some other moves..

For better or worse, Joel has been more-aggressive offensively. It is certainly cringe-worthy, at times, but it's nice to see him showing confidence. I'm still against him playing, but if he must, then I want him to be useful on offense. He's taking jumpshots out to about the free throw line now too. Nothing major, but he's at least trying to hold defenses accountable. When he gets the ball now, he's actively looking for a shot, and he's going up stronger for dunks too. I want to see him facial someone this year.

Pittman looked decent in his mop-up role, but I'll reserve judgement until he's not playing a beatdown bunch of scrubs. This is the first time I can say he used his size intelligently on offense, and looked active on the boards. The Wizards are just so bad though....

The story of the night is still the return of UD's jumper. Let's all hope this is a permanent return, because I missed this UD very badly. Udonis, you did it! PEACE.

Watching this game makes it all the more shocking that we lost to them a short while ago.

No Nene and no homecourt advantage, but yeah, no reason why we shouldn't have won by 10 or more in the last meeting

Excellent! Just wanted to make sure.

Side note. I've been pleasantly surprised with the Battier/Anthony pairing so far. It looks like they are complimenting each other quite well. It definitely feels better then the Haslem/Lewis thing we had going early on and the starters + Battier alternative will always be there when need be.

Oh and the Wizards are pretty bad.

I really like the improvement on defense over the last four games keeping our opponents under 100 points and allowing only 87 PPG...hope that trend continues
