I can't understand why our guards don't feed the bigs down low more often

Who's ripping him? That's what he's done his whole career. You want us to pat him on the back for 2 good games in a row? He's out of here as soon as season ends anyway.

My number one complaint about the Wizards is for years they have been a guard-oriented, shot jacking team.

They never seem to mind a bad jumper.

When it comes to Nick Young, I'm never happy. I always think, 'We can do better!'

We haven't had a two-guard I've been satisfied with since Rip Hamilton and we know what happened there.

Out of shape Felton has destroyed Wall and Crawford this half. Thats pretty sad.

Dude is a smart, fat point guard. A poor man's Deron Williams. Our defense has been pretty non-existent tonight.

That's fine. But I don't want to hear crap like "Roger Mason is better than Young".

Roger Mason can't play defense. He can't guard SF's at all. And he can't create his own shot.

Felton has bigs that set solid picks, and he definitely knows how to use them. :(

Maybe I'm blind but I don't think anybody ever said that. It's just nice having a guy that can shoot the 3 coming off the bench. And he doesn't force bad shots.

He is so much smarter and less selfish than Nick Young or Jordan Crawford.

The Blazer announcers are killing Nick Young's game, saying if they were Wittman he wouldn't touch the ball.

Portland shooting 52% from the field and 25 of 25 from the foul line. It's tough to win when a team is that hot.

Okay, this IS a loss.

What hurts IMO is the right players have not been in this game.

I haven't felt good about the combinations. Way too much Nick Young at the end.

FG shooting: McGee 7-10, Booker 2-4, Seraphin 2-3

Young 4-16
Crawford 3-9

Also bad, is while Wall has been slowed in the fourth, Felton has been penetrating.

Come on Nate. If CCJ doesn't overreact to something, it's not a Wiz game. It's his thing. :D

Meanwhile... JOHN WALL!

+1 Guys, it's the one thing that has continued-over from Flip. OTOH, Portland was collapsing on our guys who looked like they were going to post-up.
