Why has Wall played the entire 2nd half coming off a back-to-back?

Funny. He made almost every shot last night and has been very good for the last month. Doubt he'll be there nexrt year.

Tank beginning to pull up and I think Nene is driving it. :(

Indy is packing in the defense. The Wizards don't have the perimeter shooting to make them pay.

We should have called-up Green earlier, now it's too-late.

He's getting a lot of minutes. Tough to be a shooting guard who can't shoot.

Gah. Part of me wants us to lose, but the other part is so upset at blowing a 22 point lead...

In-fairness, Ubiles probably isn't comfortable out there yet....but still, this is your shot dude.

He has one more week to start making shots or time for the next 10-day guy.

yeah man pretty big let down to be up 20 points at half feeling good with the newly revamped squad and then to lay a complete egg in the 2nd half. don't know what to think now..

CS hits the desperation 3 and then gets a steal. Critical sequence there.

The half court offense has been awful.

Crawford, Singleton and Wall have been complete ball hawks tonight. Really nice anticipating passes and shooting the gap in the passing lanes. That's one positive at least.

I rushed home from work to catch the Wizards vs Indy game on tv.

Haven't rushed to see/hear the Wizards in a while.

I'm a little surprised that Nene doesn't try and take Hibbert out to 15 feet and try and shoot over him or drive around him. Obviously he's no Johan Petro so he's struggling to score against him tonight. But I also think they look completely out of sync with Nene because they are playing against a much better defensive team tonight.

Biyombo would look good right now for us, we have no-one with any length to stop guys like Hibba from posting-up every trip down.

First thing I hear is Quinn Buckner saying what I think opponents will say. He was happy Booker is still in and not Seraphin.

He thinks the big lineup rebounds better (not sure Seraphin can out rebound Booker) and that Nene can't cover Roy Hibbert. Seraphin can.

I still wouldnt mind substituting KS for Book. I think KS can guard Hibbert better and Nene can still matchup with West

Yes we do. He is just on the bench. I'll take Seraphin on Hibbert any time.

Statistically we are seeing very little between Seraphin and Nene tonight. Tonight we are seeing the Nene Denver is not going to miss.
