GT #75: Wizards @ Raptors, 7 PM on CSN

[Illmatic21]

The TANK is gassed up, shiny, and ready to go for a spin...oh yea!

I know it's just a funny thing we've been saying all season, but there are clearly no intentions to tank this season. The players want to finish out strong and I'm supporting that.

Our froncourt depth is so pitiful..

[nate33]

Webster is wincing in pain the whole time. He needs to shut it down too.

[sfam]

Collins sprained his ankle? Did he do it walking to the team plane?

[Spence]

Wiz really trying to pick up their defense, which is what you would do if your shots are not falling.

[jeffsays]

Starting to think the tank is in full effect. Shut down Webster and Nene.

[Spence]

Collins sprained his ankle? Did he do it walking to the team plane?

Sidling up to the buffet.

As bad as the Wizards riff-raff are playing, what does it say that Singleton can't get in?

[Jimmy Recard]

Terrible shot by Wall. Early in the shot clock and no rebounders underneath the basket

That's what I was writing earlier. As bad as Vesely was in 4 minutes [-11 on the court], Wittman still preferred him to Singleton.

Gulp.

Wittman never goes that deep in his bench. He almost always goes with a 10-man rotation. The only reason Vesely got burn was because Okafor and Seraphin each had 4 fouls and Nene had 3. There's no reason for Singleton to play just because Vesely did.

Talk about being buried at the end of the bench!

[nate33]

Also, I think the Wizards are still trying to figure out what they've got in Vesely. I wonder if they're contemplating declining his 4th year option? With Singleton, there is no mystery. They pretty much know what he can and can't do.

But as bad as Webster has been, wouldn't it make sense to try Singleton?

Yeah, I suppose you have a point there.

[nate33]

Wall faded on that jumper

[Jimmy Recard]

Wall is developing bad habits on his jumper again. I've noticed this the last few games. He's fading when he doesn't need to

He's faded on a few of them tonight.

[closg00]

I wonder what Nene's vertical is these days?

[Jimmy Recard]

Raptors are just packing the paint. This is where beal would come in handy.

[JWizmentality]

We aren't winning this one. Everyone is off their game. Good Tank victory.
