I'll give Dray props too. I was clowning him earlier but sometime during the game, he found his testes. Good for him.

Let's face it. Boston is a way better team and it took a few lucky shots by our team and a lot of uncharacteristically poor shooting by them for the Wiz to get the win. But I'll take it. The Wizards battled hard to stay in it. If they didn't fight so hard, they wouldn't have been in position for those lucky plays to break in their favor.

That's a bit harsh. His biggest problem is lack of height. I can't believe his lack of rebounding as well.

Maybe it's harsh, but its certainly true. Guy can't hit a wide open jumper so save his life, doesn't board at all, and can't really body up well against the other undersized forwards like Big Baby. I really don't know what he provides and since pretty much every prospect projected in the lottery is a big man I don't see how he has much of a future with the Wiz. Basically one of Sullinger, Kanter, P.Jones, T. Jones, or Jonas V will all get PT over him next year.

Boston was shooting lights out to start the game. It all evened out.

we also gave boston alot of possessions by not getting rebounds. Give us some credit...this was not a lucky win..it was hard fought and well earned

I'm sure Flip didn't learn anything but I hope McGee gets to take more shots on offense. It's better than running that Blatche Iso play all game long SMH

We outrebounded them. FTA about even.

But they got 8 move FTA

So we beat Utah and Boston in the last 4 games. That is what gets you help with calls from the refs and that make winning more easier.

5-4 over the last 9 games

B/c when we lose, most of the postings on the board have to do with firing Flip.

Because so many have a harder time bitching about Flip but some people still rise to the challenge.
