That was the most fun loss ive ever watched. Apart from some absolutely shocking refereeing by that one bloke (not Danny).

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Good point you made there.

Just baffling how fast they can fold up completely collapse.. It'd be all good if we thought they'd do anything "right" with a lotto pick, but as long as the front office stays the same, they might as well start winning games.. Looking forward to Wall's return.. Hopefully they'll be good enough to watch regularly, but still bad enough to get EG fired before he hobbles the team any further.. (A man can hope can't he?) ;)

QFT. I felt nothing at this loss. In fact I might have even smiled. :lol:

After not renewing my tickets, I felt myself drifting away, and didn't think I'd watch a lot of Wizards this year. Turns out my father-in-law still wants to watch every game, and likes for me to be there to remind him what teams are playing and what the score is. So I've seen most of every game this year (usually at full blast!) and I've come to really appreciate his mantra, "They just can't make a shot!"

That wasn't a bad game to watch. Beal looked pretty good. So did Blatche.

MAN WAY TO GO TO BEAL,CRAWFORD, AND NENE!!!!!

OH YEAH AND OKAFOR!!!


I was at this game tonight. and the problem I had with it was, that Wittman didnt play OKAFOR in the 4thQ next to Nene like they did at the beginning of the game when they were doing well on defense and offense. seem bad lineup at the end.
And Jordan was getting tired. He was the main man tonight.

Could the issue with the Wizards be mainly do to Lineup?

I notice that in yesterday's game against the Nets, the Wizards didnt keep to the lineup that was working in the first half.
Okafor had little game time in the 4th Q, and came into overtime as a sub for Nene.

Why was this, when he was playing pretty good early on?

Is this part of the tanking plan? I notice Jan played as well. Nothing wrong that I guess.
But again, the lineup just seem strange way of being designed throughout the game.

is there purpose to this? tanking intended perhaps? if so, very clever.

Yeah, Knighthonor actually started a new thread with that post but I moved it here. I knew hands11 would flip out if he saw another thread discussing player rotations.
