Missed the game. Why did Martell play so few minutes? Was Porter as unimpressive as his numbers look? Did Maynor suck even more than usual?

Honestly, if I was the owner of this team. I would blow this bench up and trade Nene and Ariza for young players and picks (whatever positive we can get). I know it sounds controversial, but this is a failed team. Making the playoffs with this much lack of depth won't yield anything positive. IMO, this team won't even make the playoffs. You simply cannot go an entire season playing your starters 40+ mins/gm. This playoffs or bust mantra is going to lead to a lot of injuries!!!

As for this game, I cannot believe some were talking smack about Wall...without him and Ariza carrying this team in the fourth, this would have been a blowout loss.

ankle sprain. The team didn't get it together until half way through the 3rd quarter.

Webster really is a solid leader for us. I hope he's ok. My heart sank when I saw him writhing in pain.

Martell sprained his ankle, Nene hurt his foot for a change. Maynor was Maynor. Just had no shooters on the floor w/o Beal and Martell save for Ariza and his corner 3s.

Martell got injured. Porter was anonymous (like pretty much everyone expected. The game was too close, so you know Maynor couldn't be trusted out there.

John played great. Sill not a great clutch player tired or no tired. Tough to lose 2 starters when you have the worst bench in the league. Porter looks like he needs to go to D-League.

Martell went out in the 2nd quarter with a sprained ankle. He had to be helped to the locker room. Porter was as unimpressive as his numbers looked. He looked scared and totally overwhelmed out on the court. Dude needs to hit the weightroom big time. Maynor....I don't think he can suck any more than he has.

Bucks deserved to win the game tonight. They were hungrier. Typical Wizards...every time they get your hope up that they turned the corner, something like this happens to bring you right back to earth.

I hope Webster is not out long.

I'm sick of Nene. I'm tired of watching him constantly whine to the refs all game, and the dude is more fragile than a porcelain doll.

Porter looked like someone who was incredibly nervous. The Webster injury killed and the spacing was terrible w/o him on the floor. Singleton is not a kick out option and shouldn't have been on the court the final possession. Is Singleton that much better than GRJr?

nuposse04 wrote:^Booker has looked fine these past couple games. He's the only guy that looks worth totally keeping. Jan's play has come back to typical Jan level.

Problem is he can't space the floor and isn't effective in pick n roll...

Brandon Knight made some big shots, but he is terrible. Cat complain about the refs when playing the Bucks but he was absolutely bailed out on some terrible drives when he was stuck. He literally would lose the ball and throw himself on the ground looking for a call. Crazy that they got that many bailouts on the road...

I think Henson is much better center than Pachulia. 19 pts and 17 rbs - wow!

Just got back from the game and the only thing I can say is that I **** hate Singleton, easily the reason why we lost this game.

I guess I should also add that martell going down and Nene's mysterious injury didn't help either. I think that if it were anyone else taking that corner three, we would have been better off. Hell even Gortat would have had a better chance.

jivelikenice · Post #273 » by **jivelikenice** » Sat Dec 7, 2013 5:21 am

I don't be the Wall not being clutch posts. He had 10/4 in the fourth with some big blocks that helped maintain the lead....

Had to work during the game. Why didn't Nene play more? Injury? If so, what and how serious?

Also, is Chris Singleton serious? I mean, really.....There's bad. There's Jan Vesely bad. Then there's Chris Singleton tonight vs. the Bucks.

But Maynor is the worst. John had to play whole 2nd half... I don't wanna see this guy on the DC court anymore.

Ernie Grunfeld's firing is more important than a postseason appearence. We need to lose, lose, lose!

I hope we can make playoffs and still have a new GM next year.
