It's over but I'm sure we'll wear out everybody until 20 seconds left so we'll have little energy against the Lakers.

I mean, i guess this loss should be expected....the difference between a treadmill western conference playoff team and an eastern conference treadmill playoff team is fairly noticeable.

another 33% fg percentage game for Beal while his man goes for 28pts on 50%

See how Beal plays and people really think Drafting a pick and waiting 4-5 gamble years is a good decision :roll:

.

Drafting is over and done with with Wizards

In short amounts of time, they look great because they can leave it all out there because they're only going to get a few minutes. We can't leave them in there for this long, they aren't used to it.

Best move of the night. Get the starters out. Should have done it a minute a go but whatever. :roll:

nate33, you should have just predicted Batum's precise stat line. You pretty much nailed it. Seraphin needs to take rebounding lessons from my cat. See him grab that board with 30 seconds left? What a stat stuffer.

I know people dont like it but I still dont want to start Book. Start Gooden. I mean, Im also looking to the playoffs. You cant just insert Nene back in so what are you going to do? Have Gooden & Nene off the bench? Not playing KS any? I think all those guys deserve to play over Book. Start either Al or Gooden. I dont think anyone will stop our Offense if we do that. Then by the playoffs we can have Nene, KS, Web, and Dre off the bench. Those are beast lineups

Nuggets are playing really well right now. I expect a loss in that game. LAL is a toss up. With out gortat this team is terrible defensively.

They played good defense for one quarter.

I thought Seraphin was really good defensively in that stretch in the 1st half. He's moving his feet and communicating.

They left too many shooters open and didn't crash the boards at critical moments.

Beal is so mediocre right now. I mean what two guard couldn't match his production with the minutes and shots he gets?

Watching the game you would have thought it was their 3 ball that beat the Wiz but it was 14-35 vs wiz 12-27

Rebounding was even

Wall vs Lillard was a wash except Wall had more assist. Lillard is legit very good. Baby Westbrook.

But Port got 25 FTAs vs Wiz 17
And Matthew outplayed Beal. 28 pts vs 18
And Randy went old instead of young speed in Temple and Otto to match Portland.
That was pretty much the game.

hands11 · Post #118 » by **hands11** » Fri Mar 21, 2014 9:05 am

Port also had 32 assist. They really moved the ball and looked really quick. Portland looked real good tonight. Energetic. Their offense moved the ball really well to get open looks. For the Wizards, Wall looked great. Gooden has been amazing and TA produced.

Port got 25 FTAs vs Wiz 17. Wizard actually drove tonight. Lots of no calls. Beal and Wall where getting hit. The Miller no call on that charge was terrible. He was run over.

1.) Lose because you play horrible against an awful team

2.) Lose because you just get outplayed by a better, deeper team and can't win when they execute well, no matter how well you execute in return.

#1 is more frustrating. #2 is more demoralizing.

Mediocre is being generous. Although I will say, it looked like he was making a conscious effort to get to the rim more last night.
