That had to be a record number of dunks by the Wizards in one game. The second quarter was throw-down city!

Eddie Jordan brings in DMac for haywood. Geez we're about to get raped inside.

I agreed (at the time). While their run did start with our starters
on the floor, it got worse when we went small. No great shock there.

I was just happy that coach got Mason and Young both in later,
along with a big, and the mo changed from that point on. N1 is
one difficult matchup. Great range, decent midrange shot and
now he's not a "practice" dunker anymore.

Jamison with an uncharacteristic 6 turnovers.

uncharacteristic and some not his fault with passes at his shins or
lower.

but your observation is right on....he usually shoots before he can
commit a TO



I was having fun at the game...at one point I totally called
what AJ was going to do (not that this makes me a genius).
Low block, right side of the basket, smaller player on him,
couple dribble back down, then a flip shot over the left shoulder.
Swish. The guys next to me smiled at my prediction. But that
is a pet move and a difficult one to stop.

To put a damper on the EJ hate for a moment, didn't Blatche and BH log a lot of minutes together in the second quarter? Didn't he do it again in the fourth?

yes and yes. and the team did well at that time.

which makes it all the more inexplicable to me how/why
he would choose to go center-less in other key stretches.

It's been a long time since I've seen an NBA team that cares less about defending the paint than the Bucks. They are just awful on defense, particularly in the interior.
