Game Thread: MIL@WAS 3/5/10

[nate33]

Let's hope this thread proves to be as riveting as the Gil Should Change His Number thread.

Even though I didn't watch the game (nor has the game even tipped off yet for that matter) ... I want to say that Flip's rotations have sucked this game.

Tonight's the night I will be sitting in the owner's box with Tommy Sheppard and Milt Newton. I will try to give you guys a recap of my discussions when I get home tonight or tomorrow morning.

I have an extra coupon for 2 free tickets if anyone wants to come to the game. I guess we can work out details by PM. Will also post in ticket thread.

Edit: Giving this coupon away in case that wasn't clear.

My Bold Prediction:

It sounds crazy because Blatche has played so well but I actually think he's going to have his best game of his career tonight. IDK if the numbers will fully prove it but I just think he's going to play inspired with alot of pep, and show his full arsenal. Tonight people will look at him as truly the real deal and as one of the best bigs in the leauge after what he does. I think he will do alot more on the inside this game and will look very physical at times but he will show the full package tonight while having a monster game in the win

I think this game is a great test for him, because they just played us - so both sides adjust. If he does better than last game - understanding when it's better to be a distributor and not force things and avoid bad turnovers - that'll be a great sign. Milwaukee dominated the last game because they executed a lot better - not because they have a great deal more talent. I don't expect a Washington win, because the Bux are more motivated and are on a freaking roll, but I'm looking forward to seeing Washington play smarter and expect a very good basketball game tonight - right down to the wire. And let's face it, Washington just does not match up with Milwaukee's 2 best scorers - Bogut and Salmons.

I have a good feeling about this game, I think we could win-it tonight.

I hope Blatche doesn't have his career game. He's starting to look for his a little too much. Trigger happy if you ask me. Thornton was a non factor all game on Wednesday, he needs to get more touches. Just as I say this he over-dribbles and ruins the possession.

[no D in Hibachi]

Wow, this is a **** start. Flip needs to sub everyone out.

[no D in Hibachi]

Wiz need a PG terribly Bucks assists 12, Wiz 2. Shameful

[JWizmentality]

Christ. Now I know why Boykins can't stay with a team. The dude just drills the ball and the shot clock into the ground.

[80sballboy]

Boykins is tanktastic.

[no D in Hibachi]

Wow, I hate Boykins more than I hated Jamison.

[dlts20]

Some of this is because of us not having Howard and some of this is because of the Bucks Defense but alot of this has to do with the system again to me. Even the Pistons fans said that everytime they played anyone in the playoffs with a good D that they always looked like crap because its designed for all jump shots and its easy to take away the plays.

Thats what it looks like. Again, you cant even really rip Foye or Boykins because they honestly are playing like Gil in that the only shot they can get off is the quick J off the pick. Its like the only scoring play for the guard. Then every other play is always long and slow developing where a guy like Blatche starts on one side of the court then sets a screen at the top, then runs to the other side only to circle back all the way to the opposite side on the baseline before he gets the rock with the shotclock always low.

Its too halfcourt and its too deliberate. With that being said, the game is right there for the pickings for us to come back because the Bucks arent doing anything great on O. They just capitalize on our mistakes but if we dont make any then they never score either. Let Livingston get some run also

[dlts20]

Earl needs to stop overdribbling though and acting like he's the man

[Hoopalotta]

We be woe-spattered.

When Blatche isn't just 'on', the offense is an ad-hoc amalgam of ugly. And it's pretty hard for Blatche to be real consistent when he can't draw fouls with any great consistency. Eventually, that will come, but we'll be in for some "It's a process" evenings.

You can tell that McGee's going to be a star because even his bad plays are spectacular. A mixed bag for him tonight in a tough matchup.

Crazy to think that we were just putting up 25-30 assist games a few back. We have 3 assists through the half.

[Hoopalotta]

Wow! Blatche with an assist by passing to Oberto!

How often does that happen?

[no D in Hibachi]

This team has lost whatever zip or burst they had after the trade deadline. They are dead and look pathetic.

[Donkey McDonkerton]

Okay, when is Gil coming back? The trade honeymoon is over...
