I'm not going to say that we haven't fouled Griffin tonight, but what I object to is that the refs blow their whistle to indicate a foul while Griffin is driving to the basket, but before he has been touched. They're anticipating that there will be a foul, or thinking that they should call a foul -- but they aren't seeing a foul prior to blowing the whistle.

Meh, pretty awful end to that quarter.

Need to find a way to package Crawford and Booker to some unsuspecting team.

+1

This team definately is no longer the worst team in the NBA (Although our record still shows we are) which is a positive.

On a couple rebounds the Clips got they pushed in the back.

I like the Wizards' effort up until Nene was given a bunch of quick fouls and a technical.

It is hard to stay composed in games where the other team isn't playing that much better but you can't get over the hump for fouls.

Send Crawford home...pleeeeease!!!

I think Wall looks great since he has come back. Looks like he's starting to feel alot more comfortable in this league and that's only going to get better

This is an extremely frustrating game to watch. The Wizards can't get a call against these floppers. I think the Clippers are now my least favorite team in the league. It's very difficult to respect a team that plays that way. And frankly, I'm pretty unimpressed with them. The Wizards are playing terribly, missing free throws and making unforced turnovers, yet they're still in the game.

This team has no concept of how to defend fast breaks. One word, hustle!

Rebounding has cost us this game.

Nene has never been an outstanding rebounder. Rarely does he box out either.

One by trade. One by retirement.

Will Ernie ever bring a rebounder to this team?

DANNYLANDOVER · Post #176 » by **DANNYLANDOVER** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 5:28 am

this has to be the worst rebounding game I've ever seen...absolutely NO boxing out

TheBigThree · Post #177 » by **TheBigThree** » Sun Jan 20, 2013 5:28 am

Lol, 20 offensive rebounds.

yep, this is basically the reason we are losing the game.

The Wizards have given up 20 offensive boards so far. Can't win when you do that.

So much for the idea that not playing Vesely tonight would help our rebounding.
