GT @ Washington Sat Nov 22 7PM 

Post#1 » by fatlever » Sat Nov 24, 2012 3:55 pm

are we going to be the team that loses to the wizards? i like the lineup changes they have made. moving livingston and seraphin in the starting lineup seems like a smart move. it only took the wiz a month to realize okafor is nothing more than a bench player. seraphin is better. livingston gives them some stability and size.

beal vs MKG, should be fun.

After watching Horford kill us in the paint so effortlessly yesterday I have to admit that I'm scared of what Seraphin may do to us tonight with effort. I expect a win for our Bobcats but you never know. We might be tired from last night on a back-to-back. Kemba should run circles around Livingston and strip him every time he tries to post. MKG should be able to abuse Beal in every facet if that's really his matchup. I got us winning by double digits barring another Mullens trainwreck on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.

Could well be a loss if we don't shoot better. We're dead last in the league in 3 point %, and 4th worse in FG%. We're also 0-4 when our opponents score 100+.

I have a good feeling about this game. As long as the wiz don't go crazy from deep I think we pick up the W.

I think we can do this, unless Kemba is totally gassed from last night. We need him to go nuts on Livingston.

You guys do realize that Livingston has a good 5-6 inches on Kemba right? He's also actually pretty good defensively if you guys remember when he played for the cats a few years ago. I'm sorely disappointed with last night's game and if we play like that again we're bound to get murdered. I'll still watch this one but mark my words, I don't think this one will be as easy as we might think.

bound to get murdered? 10pt loss to the Hawks is like the equivalent of beating the Wizards by 15

"Imcguir5" is just a angry fan. Livingston isn't going to do nothing. He's only averaging 5 points in 3 games as Washington's starting PG. The only Wizard that I'm worried about tonight is Seraphin

Well let's not forget that Wash should have beaten Atlanta a few nights ago, just saying... :)

I'm a bit offended by the line which is Washington by 4.5. I might be getting over-excited about this team, however, we should win this game, if we bring the proper effort to the building.

Washington is 0-10, theyr're about due for a win, especially after the tough game they played against the Hawks. Our suspect defense won't be able to beat much of any body. And yeah I'm a little angry, but I can help it, just passionate when we don't play as well as we should. :D

putting livingston on kemba is basically telling the guy to jump off a cliff. kemba's entire game is change of direction and creating space - livingston's knees would fly into the stands before halftime.

the real matchup is their shooters vs our rotations and in the paint. hopefully dunlap doesn't try to force some offense out of ben gordon again and instead creat a whirlpool of defensive meltdowns...

Is Nene playing tonight? Thought he may have reinjured himself last night
