Game Thread: Wizards at Milwaukee - 3/7/15 8:30

Post #1 » by **nate33** » Sat Mar 7, 2015 5:59 pm

This is a back-to-back game. We're playing on the road. And the Bucks play small and stretch the floor. Guaranteed loss.

20 point loss

Hopefully embarrassing

Milwaukee had a little run after their deadline trades, but they've come back to the pack. Still, it'll be a tough game to win.

Then again, every game we play now is a tough game to win.

If the Wizards play hard and just make some shots they should win this game.

Remember to watch halftime. Milwaukee will retire Bobby Dandridge's # 10 jersey.

Bucks rested, healthy, playing at home, and motivated should probably beat an exhausted Wiz team playing on consecutive days and on the road.

Randy..

Hey look.. Its really tough to win in this league. We gotta get back to who we are. We gotta stop taking short cuts. And we need to move to ball from side to side. And we need more effort for the full 48 minutes.

Oh.. and if they are trimming back and KLife is only going to play 9 minutes, then don't play him at all. He is terrible in limited minutes. He just shots everything he touches and generally spazes. Not saying play him more then that, just if you aren't, then don't at all.

Give the minutes to Gortat, Gooden and Blair or play more small ball. Hell, I would rather see Rasual or Webster.

But may God, if you are going to play him, give him some limited perimeters. You can shot from the right side post hook shot unless you get the ball with the clock running out. If not, if you touch it, pass it. Other then that. Rebounds, set picks, run the floor and defend. If you do anything else, you are coming out.

Does Randy give his players any instruction at all to steer them in the direction of being efficient ?

The bucks dissprove everything that EG clings too. They traded parts of the teams core at the dead line to get better, they trust youth, and they are still cutting and adding pieces to make a play off run!

I love the wizards but I would love to see the buck dominate just to prove a point, and hopefully put the final nail in Wittmans .coffin.

It's actually more of the opposite. The Bucks went on a 9-1 tear before their deadline trade, and have struggled to put everything back together since. The defense is even more improved if that's possible, but someone dropped the offense into a puddle and lost it, as several floor spacers like Mayo and Dudley got hurt around the same time that they shipped out Knight. Good rebounding teams tend to be poor matchups for the Bucks, as well, since that's been the Achilles heel.

But anyway, good luck, Wizards fans! Here's to hoping for an entertaining game at least. I'm also hoping that you guys can free yourselves from Wittman sooner rather than later. Wall's too good to be stuck in such a drab looking offense. The Wizards have the potential to build something great as long as he's still around.

The Bucks, another franchise that had to endure Grunfeld.

Milwaukee scouts will have, not doubt, figured out to go small at the 3 and 4 with shooters. They'll also pack the paint on D and dare us to take our long 2s.

But a good coach like Randy will certainly demonstrate his basketball acumen and make a brilliant in-game adjustment or two and lead us to victory. And if we just happen to lose, it'll be the fault of the team for not playing hard.

:nod:

Go Wizards!

Funny, but Shaq's a hater.

Barkley's worse when he doesn't like a player.

Those type of laughs at a player's expense are fair game but they also get people labled and branded forever in people's minds.

TNT would never replay Reggie Miller talking about Kyrie Irving's great days playing at KENTUCKY.

They'll never show Barkley's mug shots.

Won't mention Shaq banging his wife's best friend, Gilbert Arenas' wife.

I'm all for laughs but it's sort of mean spirited and one-sided.

This is the start of 5 tough games.

Personally, I would rather see them some how manage to win 3 or more of these games.

Might as well compete down the stretch.

Last game they had one tremendous half and one turd half. Perhaps they can finish strong and defeat Milwaukee.

The Otto thing is ridiculously funny, he deserved it.

I locked it.

Just FYI, if the Wizards win, whoever made that game thread goes on to make the next game thread. The thread maker keeps going until the Wizards lose.

Nate made last night's thread, so he gets to repeat tonight's thread.

Take the thread after the next loss. But be prepared to make the thread after that if they win too
