Thanks. I'm going to give it a look

The Wizards are playing like puss**** tonight. I can't believe they came out with such a lackluster effort after the loss against the Knicks and after getting waxed by the Cavs last game against them. I know we have some injuries of our own, but the Cavs frickin' D-leaguers were even kicken' are ass when they were in.

Also, its games like tonight that I understand why so many of you want E.J.'s head. Blatche has 6-7 inches on Brown and the Wiz only ran one post-up for Blatche in the first half. At least throw it down to Blatche to force the double-team. I mean, this is the common sense crap that just infuriates me about E.J.

Spread the floor, pound the ball down low, get Z in foul trouble and the Cavs would have no chance... oh wait, that would have been what we should have done in the first.

I don't know why, but Eddie's incompetence is getting to me more than usual tonight.

either EJ isn't telling them anything anymore, or they've stopped listening.

Are you guys seriously surprised? It all started in the playoffs like 2 years ago.

This team NEVER drives to the hole against Cleveland. NEVER. Big Z is as slow as molasses yet Jamison, Butler, Arenas, and Daniels never went to the basket. It was all jumpers, and when the finally started driving to the hole with success and get the game close, they would shoot jumpers again thinking "well we're down 5 now, a couple of 3s and we're winning." No, instead it would be missed jumper after missed jumper and the Cavs will go on a run.

Sometimes I think Eddie Jordan tries too hard to out smart his opposing coach and it ends up backfiring on him. Sometimes being simple works.

Talk is cheap AJ.. Classless of him to put all the blame on the young guys for losing all these games. He's probably the biggest culprit.

lmao.. We are making pathetic Damon Jones look like an All Star. :nonono:

edit: AD is really killing us. Can't even make a FT.

No it isnt. same level of stupidness as he has done
the last 3 years.

Thanks Deshawn.. Instead of getting back he complains to the refs. Jones is left wide open for a 3. This is quickly becoming a blow-out.

edit: This is a blow-out. I really don't know why I watch this team when Caron isn't playing. They are the worst team in the NBA without him.

Yeah. Simple. Pound the paint. Ride Haywood.
He would love it. I can just see Haywood getting
all jacked as he dunks and makes his free throws.

That's how you control a game.

Because it's the only time I get to see AB and BH start because we have
and idiot for a coach.

It just amazes that we make garbage mediocre players like Illgauskas and Damon Jones look like super stars. This team stinks.

gowiz999 · Post #74 » by **gowiz999** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 2:38 am

AD needs to just sit out until he is fully healthy. He is just doing so much harm to us on both ends. How many times is he going to leave Jones wide open for a 3 before he starts to stay on him? :roll:

edit: Jesus, Blatche misses a point blank layup.. Uncalled for. 4 point swing. How in the **** did he miss that?

hands11 · Post #75 » by **hands11** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 2:38 am

Man they look comfortable on offense.

Are they running the Princeton

AB +2

BH +2 dunk

What is so hard to figure out. Lead down to 5

Wizards2Lottery · Post #76 » by **Wizards2Lottery** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 2:39 am

Damon Jones, or is that Ray Allen?

hands11 · Post #77 » by **hands11** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 2:42 am

The problem is this dame weave.

It doesn't feed the post because we waste 5-8 second passing
it around the horn and if we are lucky enough that someone
doesn't jack and outside shot, then maybe it makes it to the post.

Just give it to AD and clear the side and feed
it to BH or AB.

Once they start to double you kick it our and pass
it around the horn for the open 3.

Thats what everyone does to us.

gowiz999 · Post #78 » by **gowiz999** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 2:43 am

Deshawn carrying us again. No one should take jump shots except for him. :clap:

hands11 · Post #79 » by **hands11** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 2:43 am

Notice we aren't running the weave ?

We are doing more pick and rolls and isos

This is the last nail in the EJ coffin. He dame offense
isnt even what we need. :rofl:

hands11 · Post #80 » by **hands11** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 2:47 am

wow

CB doesn't even sound close to returning.

They have no idea when he will be better.
