No excuses necessary. They're better than us. We're getting crushed.

Randy will have to use the bench... look for a Vesely/Seraphin sighting... Temple will need to play more minutes. We might even see Porter.

No Paul, we should be able to knock them off. Wall and Nene need to have big games if we want to win.

This game is winnable. Wall will need a much better performance tonight for the wiz to win.

Expecting lots of whining at the refs by Nene. That guy is just the worst.
He's due for an early exit -- 2nd night of a b2b when he played 35 minutes last night.
Hi Ruz!!

2nd game of back to back. Just rest the starters and throw the game. We aren't winning anyway, better to take a long term view.

I would try a different approach to get the money of the .500 back
come out starting
F-Porter
F-Booker
C-Serphain
G-Wall
G-Rice
see if you can hang for 12-15 minutes and then go back to your normal rotations

Funny enough, the Clippers have had the #1 ranked offense since CP3's injury. I HOPE the Wizards aren't taking this game lightly.

Hopefully GRIII gets some burn tonight. Don't let him cool off after playing very well in the D-League.

Wizards could win this game- with Paul out they have a chance but the Clippers should be favored. Wall needs to bring out the kind of effort defensively he brought against Steph Curry. I wonder though if it is sustainable since it is a back to back game.

I'm actually a little surprised at the clips, and winning without CP3. I've always wondered if his style of play makes it harder for other players to grow because he's so ball dominant. This will probably pay massive dividends for the clips in the playoffs as teams will force other people aside from CP3 or Blake to beat em.
If this wasn't a back 2 back, I'd say we have a shot...but probably. Test Blake's shot, let him beat us from the perimeter if he has to. Also, probably never post up Gortat against DeAndre.
Will be interesting to see how much favorable treatment Blake gets from the refs since Booker and Nene are fairly physical.

Collison has a PER of 17 and a TS of 59%, yet another guy we could have signed other than DNP.

Yeah I made it through the entire game last night (thankfully no OT). I don't know if I can make it through another one.
And all I'm doing is sitting on my couch watching. The players are gassed. They ran their butts off last night with all those turnovers and fast breaks and screens they had to get over. You could tell the starters were gassed at the end. Tonight is going to be tough.

Is the road trip considered a success considering they will go at least .500 on the western road trip?

We should have attempted to sign him but all the reports I've read is that he was willing to take a hometown discount to play with the Clippers. The Wizards really should have gone after Nate Robinson.

Yep, truth be told I thought he was going to get paid but got the BAE instead. I was pissed!
