GT #53: Raptors (28-24) @ Wizards (25-27) 7 PM CSN

oops Garrett Temple happened

[Sonny Carson]

Lowry is better then Wall and Kyrie this season. He should have started it.

Yep. Lowry is better than Wall. Give Kyrie credit though. His team has gained momentum...5 game win streak (beat Memphis as well) and was All Star Game MVP.

Wall has slowed down these last few games. Even after a strong 1st half...he's disappeared this 3rd Qrt. Lowry has had his way with him.

You are a Wall hater, just admit. Your ass needs to be curb stomped, go troll somewhere else. Kyrie is simply not better then Wall or Lowry. Wall is the only one on his team that can handle the ball, this sort of wear and tear always catches up with him since he has to play with EG short bus brigade.

Not a Wall Hater at all.

To whom much is given, much is expected.

UNLIKE Lowry and Kyrie. Wall has a max contract. I EXPECT more from him. Heck, I was singing his praises more than anyone (on the GB) last year.

I want him to take that pre injury DROSE step (MVP caliber level )

A lot invested in Wall. Franchise Players have to lift their team. I do agree Randy sucks though.

[queridiculo]

Really wish Wittman would have a shorter leash with Beal when he's having those poor shooting nights. Webster with one shot attempt in 15 minutes?

I'm also quite puzzle about the Wizards PNR defense. At some point it has to sink in that fighting over picks is not the way to go. Wall consistently ends up in a trail position leaving the bigs on an island on rotations.

That's really what's killing the Wizards, their inability to defend the high pick and roll.

Really sad that Washington has yet to make the adjustment. Reflects rather poorly on Wittman and his staff.

[Jay81]

this team is poorly put together
poorly coached
and just sucks....

Washington Wizards 1980-2014

[Wizardspride]

Randy, can Otto get a little time?

[hands11]

Wow

Another no call.

Oh well. I hope they get blown out. I want Randy gone.

But of course Randy will have it all figured out in post game.

... we just didn't play like a team.
... we only played a half
... we just aren't a good team. When we figure that out we will be a good team

[DANNYLANDOVER]

This tread is getting ridiculous... Yeah Gortat was slow on few rotations, but Sh*t playing 3Q without any help from PF and Lowry getting constantly into the paint... on how many plays does he needs to help.

Wanna find someone to blame 13 other players on the list who doesn't show anything plus Wittman like a man in the crowd standing and watching..

Yeah he was't great on defence but where are the rest of the team... standing and watching.

He has 16 pts 10 rebs 4 as.... so 24 out of 67 points is made by him... when he is 4th option on ofence in Wiz..

no one cares about his 16 pts when he lets up more in the paint. He's a bad defensive center. No hiding that FACT.

Yep. He's like Javale McGee and although I like him, Demarcus Cousins...kings of empty stats.

[MarkH]

Gortat with no defensive intensity. Love it. Letting treadmill tread all over us. :/

Right now the Wizards are on the uphill setting of the treadmill. Wait, it's been like that since way before the Raptors were even an organization. Another Wizards fan with a sense of entitlement.

[Wizardspride]

Keep dreaming.

Randy will be here for awhile.

He's cheap.

Fine...the guards go under the picks, and Derozan and Lowry get a bunch of open jumpshots.

The only way to beat the high pick and roll is to fight over the top, and contain penetration. These guys simply don't play it well...especially Gortat. Nothing Whitman is going to do about that, plain and simple.

Wall's new contract doesn't start until next season. As of right now, he's making 7.4mil.

[queridiculo]

You trap the ball handler, ice isn't a particular novel concept, it's the most effective way to do it yet you never see Washington even making the attempt at mixing up their approach.

[miller31time]

The real question right now....

Will we make one of our patented fake runs or do we simply give up? Either way, we lose so I don't particularly care.

[DANNYLANDOVER]

As if that's gonna stop the Wall haters (sorry critics ).

[Jay81]

we need to be sellers...wall to get hurt and get back in the lottery were we belong. Who are we trying to fool. We have lost to philly,detriot,boston,cleveland,Milwaukee at home and we are 0-9 against Toronto

[queridiculo]

There won't be a run, Washington isn't playing any defense, and they're pressing on offense trying to do it themselves.

I'm not even mad, the real disappointment will be when Grunfeld gets his extension after the Wizards make the playoffs in that ridiculously weak East.

You think we Wizards fans feel entitled? Are you insane? We are forever mired in futility, we're use to this cluster **** travesty of a franchise.

Now down 20, put in the B squad randy. Also, randy go fall off a cliff.

[dckingsfan]

It seems like the better team is just shooting very well...

[miller31time]

Is Nene even playing basketball out there?

[queridiculo]

Why do you bother to engage those clowns?

Their sad pathetic lives are so empty that they have nothing better to do but to troll other boards to inflate their own sense of importance.
