Even so, a W of the Lakers is prolly worth it.

Anything outside of Anthony Davis is going to be just ok. You need to get in bottom 3 so more Blatche and Veseley in next game. But when you are playing the Lakers and those frontrunning fans, you play to win the game and send the frauds home.

I still prefer the win over the Thunder. Just because of plays like Wall's drawn charge.

This win feels go, though!

tontoz, I was wrong thinking this game was lost but check out my pre-game prediction.

Washington gets almost all of its scoring on the perimeter. Last night, Detroit beat LAL with Rodney Stuckey having a huge, huge game. It didn't matter that Bynum went over 30 and Pau had 20, and both guys had double doubles. They still lost.

Young legs will probably win today. Unlike GS, there are no guards the Wizards can't keep in front of them. Also, Nick Young has by far over his career played his best games against the Lakers. Between him, Wall, and Crawford; the Lakers are going to let one or more of those guys go off.

I won't be disappointed with any loss, beat down or otherwise, for the sake of tanking.

I just expect the Wizards will win this game. LAL struggles to exceed 100 points and I think they're going to need at least 105. The Wizards are just going to run guys like Booker and Vesely at C, and LAL won't match up. Just like with Detroit, the Lakers will probably lose is my prediction.

I'd like to see them interview that clown in the Kobe mask now. :lol:

I hope John has the flu or something. Given how well he has been playing, that was a really bad performance. He looked really lethargic too. The Lakers' length clearly bothered him.

No matter. He'll be back. Great win, and great bump in Nick's trade value.

Booker is bleeding on his face as he gives this interview...how fitting.

He displayed poor body language from the beginning. I surmised it was a combination of being frustrated by all the Lakers fans in the building as well as buying into all the knucklehead teammates progaganda swirling this team. I caught him literally smacking his head after Nick made a mistake on the court.

I understand the frustration, and some of his teammates may indeed be idiots but that is no way to carry himself.

Anyone else think Mitch Kupchak is on the phone looking for trades right now? On the other hand EG needs to be making trades to build around Book and Wall right now. Seraphin too

Agreed. Everyone has a bad game from time to time... he just needs to bounce back next game.

Meanwhile, Seraphin looked like an actual NBA player out there. Weird.

I am proud of the guys today, especially Booker and Seraphin. They put on a show. Loved watching Seraphin scoring in crunch time.

I know we all get on him but he was coming off one of his best games of the season. He was definitely didn't sulk and cheered on his teammates. Booker was just too darn good to take out and I really like the 3 guard lineup with Young or Crawford at the 3. That doesn't leave a lot of time for Singleton.

Ernie seems to have missed this draft with Ves and Singleton, but with Booker EG hit it deep. That guy kicks butt and takes names. Seraphin is way better this season, and I think we need to see more and more minutes from him. I'll give EG that much, he drafted a couple beasts.

The Wizards could probably look pretty decent most nights running Wall, Mason, Young, Booker, Seraphin.

Footnote: Jordan Crawford's 6-19 FG is bad but if you consider Kobe went 9-31, I'll take it. Nick Young's 7-19 wasn't great but he had IIRC a career-best 6 assists. NY also had 2 steals and a block. Anytime you get 11 assist between JC and NY, that's probably a win.
