Game 7: Wizards (0-5) @ Magic (4-2)

[craig01]

What happened to that free throw coach Dwight had?
Last I heard he was bragging on Twitter about he fixed Dwight Howard's free throw
... Now 6 games in he's shooting .415 and even has an airball

What does Mark Price (greatest free throw shooter ever) do? ... he sits behind the bench stonefaced the whole time. He helping Dwight out at all?

This Washington team is a joke. What's with the new dick and balls logo? Thought they were wizards? If they keep playing like they are, they should put a curtain around their bench and replace their cheerleaders with munchkins.

Maybe Price came in a messed up Dwight's stroke from the line.

Howard doesn't need help with that.

LOL on the Wizards new logo. Someone should have stopped that before it made it out.

LOL on the Magic if they lose this game.

[MitchellUK]

you are streaky! putting the worst player of the season (Jason) along with Hedo shows your classical bias.

It's obviously in jest. Hedo has been very good so far this year, but there is really no denying he has streaky ways

I would obviously love for him to change that perception.

That's NOT how you use Greek letters.

Awesome gamethread. We better win this game, I'll be pretty ticked off if we don't. But the Wizards are going to get a win soon, nobody stays undefeated or totally defeated for very long in this league... hopefully this isn't their time.

I hope Rashard gets a very warm welcome in his 1st game back at Amway. I also think Ryan needs to get some ink or add some arm bands or something to look a little tougher. He reminds me too much of Garrity sometimes.

We better win this game ....

Blowout please and lets see if Stan plays more guys off the bench.

A blowout with Dwight, J-Rich and Nelson gaining momentum.

I would very much like to see a change to our starting unit. This means either benching Nelson for Duhon, or JRich for Redick. I think the choice is pretty clear at this point as Redick has done more than enough these past 6 games to justify a starting slot, though the jury is still out on the effectiveness of a Nelson/Redick/Hedo/Anderson/D12 unit: in 9.68 min this unit posts a ORtg 200; DRtg 64.71, which is obviously volatile and doesn't tell us much outside of the fact that they've dominated in the short spans they've played together. But compare that to our starting unit: in 47.38 minutes this unit posts a ORtg 101.14; DRtg 114.44. They aren't scoring, they aren't defending, and we are consistently having to overcome their poor play (we are 3-2 in games started with that unit).

You typically need over 100 minutes to really start to get a feel for a units effectiveness, but we are half way there with our starters and the results are so far miserable. JRich and Nelson either need to step it up or we need to let our players playing behind them step up for the team's benefit.
