Game Thread: Wizards vs Bucks
Posted: Tue Mar 8, 2011 10:48 pm
It seems like interest in the game threads has been dwindling lately. I think people don't fully appreciate how important these games are. It is imperative that the Wizards keep their eyes on the prize....
Some of the Wizards are already doing a pretty good job keeping their eye on the ball but a couple of the guys really need to get with the program. Wall in particular has been slacking lately. Enough with the one man fast breaks and the constant attacking in the half court set. More jumpers please. How is that jumper ever going to get better if you don't shoot it in the games?
Nick needs to remember that this is a contract year. He needs to show that he can do more than just score. Time to unveil his hitherto unseen playmaking skills and stop being so selfish. In particular he needs to be looking for the big guys, especially when they are on the perimeter where they can do the most damage.
The other guys are doing a pretty good job already but they need to take their efforts to the next level. Mo is in a contract year and it is time he started playing like it. He is the veteran here and he needs to start calling for the ball, especially on the break. When you see Wall looking like he is going to take it all the way to the rim you need to demand the ball. Don't let some snotnosed rookie take money out of your pocket.
Blatche has been doing a great job with his hide-and-don't-seek pick and roll defense. However i would like to see more of his patented dribble behind the back and step back jumpers.
McGee should focus more on his shotblocking, especially when he is 2 feet from the rim. Rotations....blowtations. Gotta let Javale be Javale. Forget the haters.
Booker/Seraphin you guys have 6 fouls each. What are you saving them for? They aren't going to carry over to the next game. You know you are going to get limited minutes so you have to make those minutes count. You have 6 bullets in your holster and you might as well use them. You will sleep better at night knowing that you contributed to a good cause.

@ Seraphin with a nice post move and then blowing a point blank layup.
