Official Thread - Wizards vs Hawks (3/23/16)

[long suffrin' boulez fan]

Temple is a HOF player. He's lights out on offense and his man just never scores on him. Shuts em down, I tell you.

Kris Humphries is feeling better now.

9 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals in 16:44.

Plus, his team will make the playoffs.

Bulls lose

And MKF feels better, because some team thought he was still worth a lottery pick. And Phoenix feels better, because they picked up a lottery pick for a player they wanted desperately to get rid of. And Washington, well…

Marcus Thornton >>> Garrett "Can't Shoot Shooting Guard" Temple Of Bricks

Is there a reason Marcus "GOAT Hair Trigger" Thornton isn't getting 30 mpg?

Chicago lost. Hope is still alive.

Our only hope of beating GSW is to roll with a Thornton Beal Eddie Oubre Morris lineup and tell them to shoot it as soon as they pass mid court

EG is still blissfully employed.

Hawks coaching edge was obvious.

Wizards had no answer for the Hawks adjustments, pitiful to watch.

where does this put us in terms of chances to make the playoffs now?

quickly running out of games to play

Can we fire Wittman tomorrow?

If we do that, it gives Grunfeld a narrative of how he made the changes needed to make this team competitive next year . . . especially if we play around .500 ball the rest of the way to finish 9th to make the Morris trade look even worse. Let's finish the year, clean house, and bring in someone who is willing to do what it takes to make the team a contender, not just competitive for the 8th seed every year.

Bulls dropped to 20% - clearly they think Detroit if favored. But they have Charlotte, Atlanta, Dallas for their next 3 games - I could set it getting ugly for them. Charlotte and Atlanta are playing well and Dallas is also fighting for its playoff life.

I missed the game. What happened? I was following the scoreboard. We were up 25-15. Then it was 25-25 and I was like oh crap they have figured our game plan out and we are in trouble because unless it's the playoffs, the Verizon Center has the creepiest vibe in the NBA and we don't have the mentally toughest players in the league so we will get tight as the game goes on.

I'm not surprised because I still say that Hawks/Spurs system is by far the toughest in the league to stop but I'm shocked our guards didn't show up. It's like we start feeling ourselves too much after we do good and I also don't like Wall talking negative about our crap season. Save that for the end. Right now have positive thoughts and try your hardest to get us in, instead of being depressed about the position we are in.

Chicago loss still helps not only for the obvious but it keeps us mentally motivated. This L though means we might have to take one at GSW or LAC

Wall and Beal played meh... and that was the end of it, IMO.
