Seraphin is stronger than Nene. He can push Roy out a bit farther from the basket and he can also post up strong.

Seraphin with Nene gives dual size. Also, Nene can pass big-to-big for Seraphin to dunk inside.

Wittman hasn't figured it out yet, I dont think.

Why no Mack in the 2nd half?

Also, Roy didn't dominate Javale the way he can shoot right over Nene.

Are you kidding me...

I have only seen the last 3 minutes, but I can tell you the reason the Wizards are behind.

Coaching has the wrong guys on the court. Should have Seraphin and Mason or Mack in with Booker and Crawford on the bench.

This is why the Wizards need a real and not interim coach.

That's what I asked 10 minutes ago. It makes no sense to play him this much off a back-to-back.

The reason the Wiz are losing is Roy Hibbert. He has taken control of the game.

Tell Ted Leonsis I rather doubt he checked the facts when he wrote Nene is a strong rebounder in the presser.

Tank OT?

MOrgil · Post #114 » by **MOrgil** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 1:24 am

Should have played Seraphin =(

Like others have said Seraphin should have been in guarding Hibbert. Coaching fail.

Nene can't contain him, but I believe Seraphin can.

OMG, please no Wall ISO to end the game.

I'd have to go back and look at the box scores to be sure, but if memory serves, Roy Hibbert has slain the Wiz with Javale on the floor on more than one occasion. He's a very good player. Better than I thought he would be.

Agreed.

Shelvin does not make a lot of mistakes.
