I think the Wizards did their damage.

We're the vicious bastards of this April playoff run. All we do is screw up the best laid plans of our betters. As Ned Flanders once said: "Mercy is for the weak, Todd!"

Go pound sand Heat fans.

that was schweet esp after the refs tried to spoonfeed MIA the win
with that late no call when Miller pushed Craw.

Love it

Man, we're practically unstoppable now. If Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman sit, I'll bet we could take the '96 Bulls.

Good tank win. Resign Martin and James Singleton. Even if they're not the final pieces, they're solid and experienced players that help the team's maturity level, smarts, and tenacity. They're good for a developing team.

I called it last night. Or earlier today. They tried, the refs that is, but
they couldn't do it.

From the tank watch thread

I talked to Chris Singleton at 6 Flags. Told him I had a small favor,
that they beat MIA last game of the season. I think the Zards
will be up for this game. And it's very possible that MIA will
need both Ws to take home best record. I'm conceding Sat
night in MIA to them right now. The refs won't let them lose
that game.

Wiz on a 5-2 run

Looking good for 6-2 with Charlotte at home up next.

7-2 is doable with Cleveland after that.

From there, we just have to see if they still need one more loss to end the year in 2nd

wall's passing was key in the 2nd half. 3 assists at halftime, 10 in the 2nd half.


i just wish his jumper wasn't so horrendous lol. he could be a such a beast with an even halfway decent jumper.

He'll have to get into the offseason to work on it. There are some mechanical issues with his shot & its tough to change mechanics midseason.

He's also not taking the mid-range jumper early in the game unless its a fadeaway. He needs to look for it early to get in the flow. if he doesn't make a jumper in the first half he won't get it going.

Loved how he played as a POINT GUARD. I still find it amazing how many people thinks he's just an athlete that runs and falls into assists versus an actual point guard. And lets not even start on the comparisons to shoot first pgs like Westbrook. Sorry JJ, Wall isn't trying to be Westbrook, Is he up to 6 good games now? :wink:

It's his M.O. If Wall has an awful game on Monday he'll be the first one to bump the John Wall thread.

You do realize that sometimes people are doing things besides visiting this forum, right?

Yes you are trying to start drama and if Wall has an awful game on Monday then this game you are so excited about will continue to be the exception rather than the rule.

Wall had one of his best games today, and yet there were still a number of poor passes and wasted possessions/bad shots. That's good enough to beat a team missing 70 points out of its lineup.

You just CANNOT give Wall his props and let things be huh... :roll:

For real dude, I sincerely hope you don't have a girlfriend to whom you act like this...

JJ, I apologize for calling you out. You make some valid arguments on this forum (I read it religiously) however, your stance on Wall leads me to believe that you just don't like him for whatever reason since you constantly exploit every opportunity to display your dissatisfaction.

The kid had a nice game against a championship team. It doesn't matter if their entire starting lineup is out, a team of that pedigree is going to put up a fight no matter what.

John Wall told me before the game he's going to work on his three-point shooting this summer. Duh. The miss he had makes him now an insane 3-of-41 on the season from three-point range.

The thing is, he was a much better 3-point shooter last season. He was more accurate than I thought he would be. Now, he's just downright awful.
