Um, nate invited me to do a game thread and then said never mind he'd do it and now it's not there and now I'm totally confused.

Miami lost in Cleveland last night. Wizards kinda suck. You do the math.

Yeah, I got confused and thought tonight was the Wiz/Cleveland game. I want to utilize my curse on that game to ensure a loss while also helping Cleveland get a win.

The Wizards don't need my help losing to Miami. This game is unwinnable anyhow.

This kind of smells like a trap game as Miami will likely be gearing for a win and won't take Washington too lightly due to the OT situation last time in DC. Could mean for a huge night for James. I think Jeffers should get more playing time to defend James in particular as I'm sensing another huge game out of him.

Miami gets into trouble trying to fill in the big 3's stats, particularly Chris Bosh.

I watched the Heat-Cavs game last night and it was almost as if down the stretch the team was just force feeding Bosh to take Hollins one on one even though that wasn't the preferable matchup considering that Hollins had nice length on him and proved to be a difficult matchup for Bosh AND that Sessions was their 2-gaurd so Wade could've exploited that better.

The team clearly cares about winning but does focus to ensure their big 3 is happy stat wise and you could see it with the way they play.

Tonight, if McGee is isolated with Bosh I feel he could have the necessary length to stop him in iso situation. Basically the more Bosh shoots the better the chances are for Washington.

Wizards win. Crawford goes for 40 :lol:

On a serious note, if Blatche is playing, he needs to be physical with Bosh. Hollins made Bosh cry last night and the CLE frontline swated four shots of his in the paint.

I really want the Wiz to get this W... I REALLY do. But without Nick guarding D-Wade, Wade will get 40 effortlessly tonight.

I dunno, something about "ji breaking thread-starting traditions" and "franchise player career ending injury" I think

Really? Really? :roll:

I think you have to matchup McGee with Bosh. Bosh will murder the rusty Blatche...that's be a Miami route.

Ji starts a game thread out of order. Team announces Booker is done for the year.

Coincidence? You decide.

OK - Ji, I missed it. I'm sorry about that. (Can everyone please help me by titling game threads in plain vanilla fashion: Wizards vs Heat Game Thread or the like).

Ji can have next one after this - unless someone else beats him to it.

What's the margin of defeat here? Who thinks it'll be less than 20?

Post #16 » by **pineappleheadindc** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 6:03 pm

OK guys, I'm sorry about the confusion on the game threads. It's my fault. Ji DID have a game thread started first. BUT, he did it (as did zonker) while cutting out closg00, who won the last game. I don't know how to fix this.

POLL OF THE BOARD: Do you guys want me to:

1) Lock this up and pull Ji's thread up to use for tonight's game?
2) Leave this up and keep things as they are.
3) Lock both and hope closg00 logs in soon and starts a new game thread?

I want to fix this in a manner that satisfies the Wizards board community.

I'll come back about 5 and do whatever the general opinion is. And again, to Ji and the board, I'm sorry.

Wiz give the home crowd a treat with maybe the last home win of the season. Grimacing, nail-biting, blood-checking-on-no-contact King James gets freaked out by Jordan Crawford, becomes a turnover machine in the 4th quarter.

Book it.

But it was locked! Otherwise I wouldn't have done it.

I say go with option 3. We don't need Wall to blow out his ACL.

In my defense, in all the game threads that I've hijacked, the injuries have been relatively minor.

Who will unleash the mylanta?
