Wizards VS Bobcats: Win-Streak 4

[Illuminaire]

Did Vesely play some good basketball tonight? I didn't watch the game, any dunks?

All dunks. Let's face it, that's Jan's best offensive move.

For accuracy's sake, I know he had one running double-clutch layup and one pump-fake into a close ranged floater.

But yes, the rest were dunks.

I love Kyrie Irving's game but I hope John and the Wiz wax them

Cleveland's success has been way overblown. Going by the Simple Rating System, which factors point differential and strength of schedule, the Cavaliers actually rank as a worse team than Washington (and that incorporates the disastrous pre-trade win/loss record compiled by the Wizards).

Basically, the Cavs are worse than us, but they're so bad, they can't even tank right. They won too many close games.

The Wizards have tanked very masterfully.

If Nene didn't miss the games he did they might have 2-3 more wins.

And don't leave out lack of vet back up PG. Sitting Mo well after he was ready to play. Same with Mason. Lewis no where to be found. Dray sent home to workout.

The only one that was sure luck was Ronny breaking his hand.

Can we play Charlotte every night?

We might challenge CHI all time record for Ws but it would be really
boring uninteresting basketball to watch.

Honestly, going by the criteria of just evaluating Ernie since Ted Leonsis has owned the team; the first thing he did was deal Gil for Rashard. That saved Leonsis money. I felt a while back that Ernie had a better than good chance of returning because of that move alone.

-Turning Hinrich into Crawford and Singleton looks great, regardless of how either Jordan or Chris turn out long term.

-Vesely is 7-7 right now. He's catching and dunking everything in sight. He's at his career high.

-EGs scouts were right on Seraphin and Vesely. Kevin is a beast on the low block.

-The Nene trade is going to look real good for at least a year or two. It looks great right now

-I have to give EG props not just for Almond, but for guys who have got it done, James Singleton and Cartier Martin. Both those guys being back has given the Wizards some continuity and some credibility.

-Wittman was the right call. It wasn't time for Sam Cassell. Randy has done a great job. There's really no justification other than his past coaching record for not bringing him back.

I have been Ernie's biggest critic. I've called him an incompetent a heap of times. None of that matters right now. This summer they have three picks. They will buy out Lewis. They probably won't amnesty Blatche, but they will do ANYTHING REASONABLE to move Andray.

I'm not seeing where Ernie can ruin much. Draft Drummond 2nd? So what -- he might work out in time. Barnes? Yep, that would suck, but he's not playing much.

The way I see it, the Wizards are going to get a good draft pick and they will be very competitive next season. Look at the end of this season.

This is no fluke.

everyone forgets how good that 'trade' was.

more completely - we trade the rights to Vlad Veremenko to CHI for Hinrich
plus the pick that became Seraphin. Then after 2/3rds of a decent season from
Hinrich, he traded him to ATL and got back Bibby, Mo Evans, Crawford and the pick
that became CSing. And when Bibby skidaddled out of town, he saved even more
$$$ for Teddy. Unbelievably productive use of cap space.

I'm catching this on replay and I'm realizing that examining the box score I didn't appreciate how much ass was kicked because everybody was pulled so early. Per 40 minutes we got the following production:

Seraphin: 18.14 points, 12.09 rebounds

Vesely: 27.21 points, 10.20 rebounds

Wall: 21.71 points, 6.78 rebounds, 17.64 assists

Nene: 34.07 points, 11.36 rebounds.

The Charlotte Bobcats.

Yeah, it was like that Monty Python faculty-student rugby match. Maybe half of this year's Wizards highlight footage from this one game.

AS someone who went on record as saying Kemba would have been a much better pick than Jan . . . thank you for that.

If the Bobs lose their last two games (and is there anyone who doesn't think they'll lose their last two games?), not only will they finish with the worst winning % in league history, they will have ended the season on a 23 game losing streak.

Seems a fitting tribute to their owner....

I don't want this to get lost in the previous page.

Jan's "yes" is as long as a any four John Wall words.
