Ignore him. He has a habit of overreacting majority of the time he posts. GREAT GAME. It sickened me to see Bosh dominate us time and time again, but this time we prevailed. Good luck tomorrow :D

DCZards, EJ also made what came up aces of a move having DS, AD, and RMJr in the game at the same time.

Roger's shot was lucky, but good. He also had a nice shot that Jamison tapped in.

EJ having Mason in there, and not BTH or N1 worked out very well.

The game changed when Stevenson took over on Calderon. Stevenson is indeed a superior defender to AD, but Deshawn made a critical adjustment: he forced Calderon to his left; while he's got handles, Calderon [b]cannot[/b] finish to his left. I hope the Wiz coaches pick this up on film and continue this adjustment tomorrow night.


GREAT WIN!


I can't remember who mentioned this before the game, but I heard about it just before...and I noticed the exact same thing...his production decreased a whole lot when he was forced to the left all of a sudden

If I were a Toronto fan, I'd be disappointed a bit in Bargnani.
Bye bye Beal.

Awesome win! What a gut-check by the Zards. Blatche was phenomenal and EJ pulled the right moves. Hopefully this will get Blatche going.

I think you see why they need to play McGwire now over Pech and Songaila to play the 4, and not the 5. Pech just isn't ready, doesn't like to mix it up and never even moves towards the basket. I thought EJ may have stayed a little too long with DMac at the end, but I think he was rewarding him for his hustle.

Great win, but you have to take a split in this series. If we win, it's a bonus but I expect Toronto to be very tough to beat tomorrow night unless we can get a big game from an unexpected guy like a N1 or a Pech.

The team that played harder and wanted it more won. You guys have Caron tonight and its not close. Good game guys.

The comments about our D sucking and the Raps being ridiculously soft are right on.

Please stop. He has as much right to post on this forum as any of us do, and he was doing so politely.

Oh don't worry we are.

Disappointed in our guys tonight but gotta give it up for the Wiz. Gutsy win for you guys without Caron.

We'll see you tomorrow and hopefully return the favour.

For all the hate he got in the Milwaukee loss, it turns out the birthday boy, EJ, coached them up good today.

Dominic was all over the place and the Wizards matched Toronto's energy.

For that matter, give Sam Mitchell, Kris Humphries, Jamario Moon, Calderon, Parker, and Bosh all credit for playing hard. They never conceded. Kapono dropped a great shot, too.

Good game.

It would be great to face Toronto as 4-5 or 6-3 in the playoffs.

Apparently, Haywood was sick, tried to play through it, but just didn't have the energy. That's how Dave Johnson made it sound, anyway.

Looking forward to tomorrow's game, for sure.

BTW Canada rocks -- at least the parts I've been to. Windsor, Ontario--on leaving Detroit you notice how clean Windsor is.

Just ridiculous.

Your pbp team is awesome. "Not possible!" notwithstanding, they are very knowledgeable too. Good game from the Wiz.
