I think Nene... just regressing to the mean without him in the lineup.

our team is fraud. Inexusable loss at home again to a below .500 team

Just a terrible game all around. Wall had some moments, but despite his scoring, really a stinker of a nite.

Outside of Wall there really isn't a single player that can break down a defender one-on-one.

There is one other player that can do that...but he's in the D-league right now.....

Jefferson made Gortat his bitch. Offense died as well. Maybe falling to the 6th and getting swept by the raptors would get Randy fired? Meh, one can dream.

Or that we're just not a good team. We're average. We're the definition of average. We just happen to be playing in a historically bad conference.

I know that Miller!!! I guess I really asked a dumb question. Nothing to see here carry on

I really hate that Rice isn't on this roster. Beal plays by default and heavy minutes at that. How much would it hurt to give the kid 5-10 minutes a game really?

this game really sucks

queridiculo · Post #189 » by **queridiculo** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 1:17 am

Was that the first PNR run between Gortat and Wall with the clock running out there?

Where are the "we feel like we can beat Miami" comments now ball players? Next time STFU and play **** ball, enough of this sorry ass ****. Play ball the right way.

As many have said, one of those game where no Nene hurts bad. Would have been nice to have those 14 points from him.

i think Wiz fans are sleeping on the home court stuff. We are better then average and we can win without Ariza going off. It will just only be on the road. You can see it from the very start of the game. We arent the same team at all at home right now. it has nothing to do with average or this or that. Its bad energy, its a bad vibe. I bet we play the Bobcats back to back games in Charlotte right now, we win. I just have no convidence at home. 0. I think we'll be better in the playoffs when the crowd is full but again, no excuse. Pro players, pro coaches. They have to get better energy and a better vibe going there

MikeTheKid · Post #193 » by **MikeTheKid** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 1:21 am

I really dont like our schedule right now, some of these scrub teams playing spoiler and potential playoff teams making runs. Other than the Lakers, Bucks and Boston Im worried especially if the Knicks keep it up

I'm curious as to what you think makes an average team average and an above-average team above-average. Because, to me, if your team doesn't come in with energy, is disrespecting so-called "lower-tiered" opponents and has a bad "vibe", then that team isn't as good as teams that don't do that as consistently.

That's one of the many factors that separate the average teams from the good teams.

Bobcats fan here. Good game fellas. I think some of you might be overreacting a little, but thats understandable. Good luck the rest of the season, you guys have a very talented squad

Wittman had all the time in the world to jump on the refs for not giving Wall fouls calls, but instead he chooses to show his allegiance to Wall late in the fourth--- allowing Charlotte to make it a three possession game instead of two.

These back-to-back losses have included momentum-boosting plays for the opposition during critical moments.

Stupid.

And Brooklyn up by 4 with .35 to play

We've won a bunch of games in a row at home....I think we would be well above .500 had Jefferson not been injured to start the season

I get what youre saying and 99% of the time I would agreee but this is something different. Its not disrespect. Something is wrong. Its a dead builidng. The only time we look good is when we play teams like Miami and such. Its not because they are great and we get up for them. Its because the crowd is bigger, louder, and it pretty much is a road game. Its not being lazy or disrespectful. There is something weird going on there. Witt cant get them up, the players cant get up, its a nervous energy in the crowd.

Then the very next game on the road we play much faster and have much more pep to our step. We will probably win at Orlando, lose to BK in another dead game (unless alot of people show up and are loud) and then go out West and win all 4 games including Portland. I will say though that Witt should make a change to shake things up. Start somone else at the 4
