I wouldn't go that far.

By the way, anyone else think that was an awfully LONG 1.1 seconds?

In our own gawdam house.

The timekeeper should be taken out to the Chinatown arch and shot.

Yet another predictable choke job. All flash and no substance. And more guys got hurt. Oh well, I'm pretty numb to it at this point. Where's that draft thread again?

Yeah, I just don't get why you'd double team Andrew Bogut with 1 second on the clock. I mean, worst case scenario is he takes a ridiculously tough fadeaway or contorted shot and somehow puts it in. But doubling him leaves one player wide open. Bogut's a good passer.

WTF was up with the substitution patterns in this game, and we more concerned with winning or getting Arenas, who hasn't played in six months, some run? That effort, especially on defense, should cost them fifth and sixth place. Let's hope that Jamison is not too seriously hurt.

Honestly, I'm done with Arenas as a star on this team and the way they use him. Butler is the best player on this team and to completely forget about him and absue Arenas the last five minutes is insane.

lol, how much did you guys miss gil's defense? going over to double bogut to leave sessions wide open for the game winner. he got burned by a complete nobody.

The Wizards need to realize all this shot jacking isn't going to get them very far.

Andray was playing well and shouldn't have been benched.

Size killed Washington. Bogut and Villanueva badly outplayed Haywood and Jamison.

Krystowiak outcoached a sick EJ. Ivey and Sessions, his backup guards, came in and outquicked the Wizards.

EJ decided to play Gil down the stretch. To hell with chemsitry and the rotation.

The whole game showed me they haven't learned a damn thing from when the team was 22-17. Back then they played smothering defense. They covered perimeter shooters.

Haywood was owned tonight by Bogut, but Blatche, curiously was benched.

We have no idea how Blatche and Haywood together might have done. Both showed they could score inside.

I just hope Antawn's not gone for a long time. He and DeShawn look like they could miss some games.

How about those Caps? :nonono:

Half our team is injured
Our coach is a stubborn mule
We lost to a team that has already lost twice to the 2008 Miami Heat
We just got beat by a D-League scrub

The curse lives on.

Quick thoughts.

Nice to see Gilbert back. he's a transcendent offensive player, but he's got to work his way back defensively for sure. There was no need to collapse on that last possession.

Where have you gone, Brendan Haywood? Maybe EJ played him too many minutes this year and ran him into the ground. :lol:

These freakish injuries are ridiculous. We're just snakebitten.

SIGH

I assume Wood was on Bogut.

Who came over on the double and left Sessions open?

When the Bucks got it to five, you knew they were going to blow this game. It's not like the defense is going to get better with Arenas on the floor, which he wouldn't have been had Stevenson not gotten hurt with 1.1 seconds left.

Post #354 » by **miller31time** » Thu Apr 3, 2008 1:34 am

Yeah, the next question is raised - why was Gilbert in there on the last defensive possession? I mean, we had Roger Mason Jr. on the bench. Gilbert, when 100%, probably isn't as good a defender as RMJ. Gilbert at 50% sure as hell isn't.

I just don't get a lot of what happened tonight.

The previous posts brought to you courtesy of Eddie Jordan. It doesn't matter if we have Gilbert, or anyone else for that matter, cuz EJ pretty much cancels everything out.

Outrebounded YET again. It seems like we're being outboarded every night.

The guy who just came back from 67 game injury.

THE GUY WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OUT THERE ON DEFENSE.

seriously Eddie Jordan drives me crazy

Gilbert, who shouldn't have been in the game in the first place.

No. His passing was good, he shot a good percentage, he started a lot of fast break opportunities, and he iced those last two free throws.

OMG. It was Gilbert who left Sessions wide open?

God. The irony.
