Least Beals' worth the price of admission!

Was that Okafor's first alley oop of the season? He seems to be doing things the last couple of months that he hasn't done since his rookie year.

Nah, he's had a few this season. One last game on a nice pass by Beal if memory serves.

Wall needs to get it together. These are the types of games he should dominate. Calderon and Knight? Come on...

Nahh. A couple of days ago he had a monster dunk off of one.

Yes and no. Some of those passes were on target, but a bit too difficult and hot to handle. Okafor's playing well and Booker has ups, but neither of them have the hands of a young Chris Webber. Wall has to know who he's passing to when trying to thread the needle w/ a hot pass.

Man. Terrible, terrible transition defense.

They're letting the Pistons' bigs set moving screens in space. Monroe looked like Joe Jacoby on the counter trey there.

How does Detroit continue to own us, year in/year out? It's mind boggling.

Well, we're seeing what we saw through a major part of this season - the Wiz simply stink when Nene can't play. Their front court depth is terrible.

It's interesting to see just how much Nene helps to stabilize us on both sides of the ball. It's one thing if the Pistons were just throwing bombs from deep, but they're getting easy buckets at the rim, and not just in transition.

A Win Today Is Only A Nene Away

Price is saving this game, if he wasn't playing so good we would be getting blown out

KS needs to do a better job rotating on the PnR. That was 2 times in a row he got burned.

Seraphin certainly looks...animated on defense. I don't know how effective he is, though. Perhaps he's been watching film of old Etan Thomas games.

Wall's body language is horrible. Instead of cheering on the team and focusing on the game, he is looking like an upset brat. You have to earn playing time it isn't given! Hopefully this tough love will force Wall to step up.

You cannot hate on Ariza. He's got game.
