GT #62: Wizards @ Cavs 7 PM CSN

[Ruzious]

It's an awful thing to put a point guard who has trouble shooting - in there with Temple AND Collins. Nobody should criticize Wall for taking a bunch of shots with those 2 in the game.

[nuposse04]

look at the lines for everyone outside of Wall, Mek, and Webster...laugh...then cry...

[AFM]

I personally don't have a problem with him shooting the elbow pull up.

[GhostsOfGil]

Wall looks good today. I could live without some of those iso jump shots but I love how under control he is.

Why does ESPN assume I MUST want to watch ESPN in the country I'm residing in? No, ESPN, I'm only visiting Mexico. I doubt this game was on ESPN3, but its moot I suppose...

I'll just be watching the box score and listening to the convo, till I depart for some (hopefully) awesome mexican food.

This game is a good example to show how offensively challenged the Wiz backups are, 2 for 9 for the half, 4 points, no FT attempts. Say what you want about Crawford (and it'd likely be true), but this team needs someone off the bench who can score like him.

Oh, but usually they have Temple coming off the bench... instead of starting, so it's actually much.... WORSE!

"We need a bench player who can get 14 points off of 30 shots!"

Hmmm, no...

We do need someone who can score there though. Ariza is usually that guy.

Wall playing good D.

Webster just keeps on hitting. you would think he would go through a dry spell at some point.

I'm really starting to doubt that we keep Webster after this season. He WILL have opportunities to go to a contender, I'm sure.

[TheKingOfVa360]

Wall needs to go to the basket like this every night. Play aggressive and use your speed.

Not many contenders have the luxtax room to throw $4-5M a year at Webster. I really think Webster will give us the opportunity to match any contract offer. He really seems to like it here. We only lose him if someone comes along and offers more than the MLE (because we can't match since we don't have Bird Rights).

He's totally worth the MLE and may be worth more. I really love what he brings to the table. But I hope you're right, he's clearly found his groove in Washington. Lets hope he wants to be a part of something (hopefully) special in terms of a rebuild going on.

There's hope. He said he loves playing in DC and loves this team. But if we draft shabazz or Otto, I have a feeling EG may let him walk since Ariza is locked up for another year.

Let's hope we get Noel and keep Webster. That would be a great off season

Wall picked up his 4th foul.

Whenever Okafor carries the scoring on offense early, the Wizards fade and tend to lose.

They started out 11-0 and ended the first up 33-20, but I felt like the lead was going to go downhill.

Exaggerate much? What we have - unfortunately with zero exaggeration is Temple now with 21 minutes, 2 points, 3 turnovers, and 4 fouls.

Tank it out, Baby!

I really hope this is the last year we really can't lose, meaning if we lose, we are still happy for the tank. I'd just love to actually be thrilled about a win, and pissed about a lose.

[nate33]

Our offense is working. Webster just suddenly got cold.
