Thursday: Atlanta @ Washington

Ugly, ugly win.

What happened to the blowout wins earlier in the season? How come we just stopped giving a damn about taking it to the glass on both ends?

Not much to take from this game. Bibby played well & the Hawks rebounding was terrible. Blatche's offensive game is straight out of the 1980's.

Interesting comment on Blatche. What did you really mean by that?

Not sure who's played worse so far tonight the Hawks or the Jackets. 11 TO's and lackluster D has really taken away from 60%+ shooting.

No style points in either case, but the good guys win.

Why dont we want to rebound? I just cant understand the reasons why. If we attacked the boards it would be over.
We have dropped tons of passes tonight.
The things I would do if Josh would limit himself to 1 or 2 jumpshots a game.

Also, wasnt Josh making all his free throws last week? WTF happened?

The real Josh FTs came back and rubbed off on everyone.

He has alot of ball fakes that and post moves than you rarely see in today's game. Al Jefferson is another guy who has a very similar playing style(offensively).

Yeah, he's very good at that. He's always had it but Cassell has also added alot of those to his game. I like how he went back to mixing it up this game because the last few games he was playing mostly like a guard the whole time but thats mostly because he's starting to get doubled in the post alot and he's not quite use to it yet which forces some turnovers. He should be great next year though with a good offseason where he comes back stronger, is more prepared to be a main guy, and has guys like Gil and hopefully another big name to where he cant be doubled and will get some easy baskets. Most of his scoring now is all on his own. Thats why I think he can still be 20 & 10 or around there next year when he has some guys to give him a few bunnies every game and other threats to where he cant be doubled.

What do you guys think about your future? Do you want to pay JJ the max or not? I use to not want him but recently I was thinking we may should sign him if others didnt but I dont want to pay him Wade & Lebron money

I will cry and drink the offseason away if we pay Joe max. He's not a max now, hasn't ever been a max, and he certainly won't be a max 5 years from now.

I'd offer 3/50.
