Just out of curiosity, what's the consequence of having lost this must-win?

Well put. Ask the Caps about must wins. Must wins are game 7's and the like. That term is wildly overused in these parts.

The consequence just might be the Wizards getting a better first round matchup/overall easier playoff draw. So calm down, girls.

Ok, maybe "must win" isn't the right phrase but it was a game they should win 99.9% of the time considering all of the favorable conditions. If they want the #5 seed you have to win gift-wrapped games like last night and tonight.

99.9% of the time?

Last time I checked, Portland has a better record than us and there 13 game win streak was definetly not a "fluke". You don't want that many games as a fluke.

There the most talented team in the league and many people consider them the next dynasty if Greg Oden lives up to expectations. Plus they had bad matchups for us all over the floor.

Everyone on the team had a **** game. Get over it. Its not as bad as you are making it out to be.

Denver too. They destroy us with their athleticism.

The worst thing is when we face athletes who can also shoot the 3. That's why Atlanta and Portland kill us. I think we'll be in slightly better shape against Philly because they can't shoot. Philly is a rich man's Charlotte. And we own Charlotte.


How do you beat Portland.

Go inside and get your young legs some action.

Haywood got 9 free throws because we went inside.

AB had a sweet line and a dash of

NY 15 min 17 pts

Play big, play inside then the outside opens up.


I honestly thing EJ is a pot head. Dude has a terrible memory when it comes to what works.
