[dlts20]

just for the people like me who missed the last game and dont read every fine detail of these threads, the game is at 1pm tomorrow. I just found that out........lol

Thats my biggest fear of this game by far. It seems like we always use to suck at these early Saturday games when Gil was here. Hopefully we have some younger guys that can play better early. Weve also missed enough time to where we should be ready to play no matter when teh game is. We thoght that before the Bucks game also but looked flat.

Crawford has been great this year. Tells you what a true coach and orginization can do. They have totally reigned him in. Like classic Crawford though, he has reverted back to playing bad and doing too much since winning his award.....lol I expect more of the same since he will want to show off for the Wiz

[hands11]

Sullinger has quietly become a beast. I though the dude would be decent but not great. I still think his one longer leg will be his demise. Which is a shame, I'd gladly eat crow to watch this guy do well.

Yeah. Sully is good and he has range. He has a smooth veteran game already. Actually, Boston has a pretty decent little team put together. A real surprised this year. Consensus was they would finish near the bottom of the conference. Its still early. Anything can happen. NY and BRK could finally get their acts together. But so far, early in the season, Boston has looked pretty decent considering what people expected from them.

They do have some players.

Sully and Green lead the way
Bradley can get hot shooting
Plus J Craw manning the PG
Bass is a pretty decent role player

Plus they have Kelly O
Humphries
Courtney Lee
Wallace shows up sometimes. But his vet presence helps them.

Its not a A list of names, but they do have some talent, a good coach and play well as a team. They could us some help up front so if we have Nene, Gortat and get something from Kevin S, Ves and Booker, we should have the advantage there. With everyone we have healthy, we should have the advantage.

Expect a competitive game. By no means would I inked down a W, but it is a winnable game, even on the road.

They are 7-7 at home.

Bet everyone will have fun evaluating Crawford. My guess, he doesn't shot to much and tries to run the offense. He is going to have fun going against Wall.

[hands11]

Pine, I think it was a real mistake to exclude our Luv-a-Bulls good luck charms. There's a cosmic balance. If we all wish to experience the joy of a Wizards win, we must all suffer a bit first.

Not to pick a fight, Nate. But what do you call the past 30 years?

Yeah, like it or not. Lov a Bulls probably need to be posted on page one. Hopefully its not to late to appease the Basketball Gods.

[Hypnotizer]

Let's go Wizards!

[DANNYLANDOVER]

...and Gortat continues to suck...has to be mental now

[miller31time]

The lack of Luv-a-bulls are already killing us.

0-7 and a missed dunk.

[hands11]

Quick. Someone call down to the bench and tell the Wiz there is a basketball game going on.

[MarcoPolo]

The team needs a shock or something they are all sleeping there! Marcin wake up!

[JWizmentality]

Gortat has been terrible these past few games. Especially since he was whining about where he was getting the ball.

[hands11]

...and Gortat continues to suck...has to be mental now

Then yank him.

If Trevor A playing ?

Just not feeling the Wizards line up matching up with Bostons.

I would give Kevin or Ves a shot today. Not sure if Booker matches up well.

[JWizmentality]

Are we even running an offense out there. Nobody moving.

[JWizmentality]

Yikes, might have to turn this off early.

[hands11]

Man they look like ass.

No offensive rhythm.

Come on Randy. Mix it up. Team needs some energy.

There ya go. Finally trying Kevin.

[hands11]

Are we even running an offense out there. Nobody moving.

Like I mentioned. Boston has an interesting roster that should not be overlooked.

Sully is good. Strong down low and has range to the 3 line.
Green plays with energy.
Bradely does as well.
Crawford just fills in.

Booker doesn't match up well against Sully. Sully is way to strong. Gortat down there alone isn't athletic enough. Need more size like what Kevin offers or length like Ves offers.

That's the problem with Booker. He can do on runs but he is really a nice bench piece. Can't get locked in on starting him every game. Specially when you are talking him and Gortat together.

Randy needs to be nimble. A good coach would see that before the game starts, not after 8 minutes.

[JWizmentality]

Sit Wall too. The whole starting 5 came out like $h*t.

[hands11]

Two good defensive plays by Kevin S against Sully.

Thats more of a fair fight.

[JWizmentality]

I don't like jumpshooting Wall.
