TIMEOUT! TIMEOUT!

Let's keep this one simple. Wiz break their seven game slide tonight against Webber's Warriors. Do you feel the confidence?

Baron Davis killed us in DC, can we stop Black Santa this time?

I am strangely confident about tonight's game. None of our players logged extraordinarily heavy minutes last night so they shouldn't be all that tired. And I get the feeling that Blatche and Young have reached a new level of confidence in their game. Look for more consistency out of those two. Finally, Jamison is due to break out of his shooting slump.

Same, I'm not one to heap praise at moral victories, but last night definitely felt like one. Considering how banged up the team is, it was great to see guys like Blatche step up their confidence level. I also thought that Brendan had a very strong game. I'm hoping that play carries over into tonight. I would usually feel really depressed about a seven game losing streak, but we've been handed a lot of bad cards on the injury front. Plus, I feel confident that we will get everyone back healthy soon and turn things around.

I always want to beat the Warriors, because I don't like Baron Davis at all. I'll watch this one with a little extra zeal.

I could see us getting blown out. I hate to say it, but that's my feeling so far.

Sounds like Caron wants to play tonight. He almost suited up last night.

Butler warmed up before the game last night and he clearly wanted to go because he had his game shorts on but the decision was made by the athletic trainers to have him sit at least one more game. He will be a game-time decision tonight. Daniels said he he's hoping to return Wednesday night when the team ends the trip against the Clippers in Los Angeles.

If Butler plays we will win this. If not we will just have a moral victory.

AD should just sit out until after the break. I'd like to think we can take the Clips without him.

We can't call ourselves the Bullets anymore, but he can wear them on his hat? :rofl:

Please, Caron/AD - just sit this one out.

newslowsad · Post #12 » by **newslowsad** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:36 pm

I guess Baron is a little less prude than Abe, which I suppose isn't hard to accomplish.

Yeah, if they sit this one out, and sit out LA, they can have a whole extra week of rest.

Once AB learns to get to the FT line a little more, he is just going to be nasty.

The kid is running on pure natural talent. I'll guess and say we are seeing about 30-35% of how good AB can be.

FREE AB

Any game without a healthy PG is going to be tough. Take out AD and CB and it's real tough.

I was so impressed with BH and AB last game. Sure AB could have hit a few more but he is learning. Sweet dunk though.

BH has to be the best value Center in the league. He just keeps getting better. Now he is hitting a nice 10 footer at a decent clip to go along with his baby hook and up and under move.

We should try actually running the offense through him more. It seems to me if effective more often then it isn't.

Yeah I think both Butler and Daniels should just sit out for the rest of the trip, were going to need them for the long run. As for the game I'm just hoping to keep it close, I can't truely expect them to win this one, hey if they do win great, if not we'll know why we lost.

Hopefully we see big games from Wood and AB.

N1 will have a monster game, but wiz will run out of gas and subs.

This reminds me of when AJ was hurt 2 years ago. I would have to check but I swear it was the same deal but he came back to early, played and then missed like 2 more weeks after the all star break.

Pay me know or play me later. I really hope they both sit out. Even DS should sit if he is really hurting that bad.

This was my worst fear and is why I was pulling for EG to trade Songaila and a pick for a PG. It's just to hard for this team without a PG.

You guys should hit Memphis up for one of their many many PGs... offer back the #1 you got for JCN.

oh and... Good Luck tonight.
