This team can win without Gilbert against crap teams but it badly misses him against good teams. The team right now can never get a timely made shot. Gilbert would always come up clutch in big situations for us.

You just aren't going to win when your two best players shoot a combined 7-25.

Go Nick.

Feed the kid. Hes feeling it tonight.

Love the seating assignment.

Give Houston credit for playing excellent defense, we could really learn some D from them.

Why are Songaila and Blatche still in the game?

WizBiz · Post #146 » by **WizBiz** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 2:08 am

That's one Blatche should've taken.

Wiz99 · Post #147 » by **Wiz99** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 2:08 am

What the hell?

We need a bucket to cut the lead to under 10, and the guy taking the shot is a rookie?

And see ya later, Blatche...

Blatche should have found Butler. And Young should have had the sense not to take such a crucial shot. I hope someone chews these two out afterwards.

Has BTH fouled out? Why isn't he in right away?

Post #151 » by **miller31time** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 2:10 am

Yao just doesn't miss free throws.

Nick has played well this quarter.

Who is the coach? There is your answer.

No kidding. Yao is in, but Haywood is not? Wouldn't we like to be able to defend Yao? Maybe get an offensive board, which Wood excels at getting?

CB not feelin it tonight

Are you kidding. He is the only one that has it going.

Where is AD?

He's still a rook. I want my team leaders taking that shot when we need to get a bucket in the last 5 minutes of the game. It's not like Young found himself wide open under the rim. He shot a fade away 18 footer. Hardly a high percentage shot. I'd much rather see Butler taking a mid-range jumper, which he excels at.

Love Mason driving so much.

The Wizards can't seem to beat good teams without Arenas, but luckily theirs enough bad teams in the league for us to keep a good playoff standing.

Wiz99 · Post #160 » by **Wiz99** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 2:15 am

Yao with an offensive rebound over Songaila.

Thing we'd rather have Wood out there right now?
