Iguodala.....another 3.

7/9 from the field with three 3's.

Amazing.

I will begin to respect EJ more when he sits Jamison in games like this.

It's just not Antawn's night.

I'd rather have Nick out there for DMAC

[miller31time]

Another ironic thing -- We're a top-5 free throw shooting team in the NBA, and Philadelphia is dead last.

We're 16/22 from the line and the 76'ers have only missed 1.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Jamison does have 15 and 11. My bad.

I just want the offense off of cuts, screens, and defensive intensity--not forced offense.

[hands11]

So where is the spark going to come from.

Every time they get a layup it takes a little bit of heart our of us.

[Wizards2Lottery]

Songaila has no reason to be in the game against a team with fast athletes at the forward positions.

[hands11]

So how do we respond to their athletics's?

RN and GA 3s ?


BH in the post ?

One thing I'm noticing tonight...

Our initial defense isn't horrible, but after a good defensive play (and Philadelphia somehow recovering), we completely give up -- making the initial defensive play pointless.

[Wizards2Lottery]

This team will never be good defensively under Eddie Jordan.

[Severn Hoos]

Block off the interior:
Again, the Sixers can't shoot three's, just make sure we block off the interior and they'll struggle. Keep in mind that we've set an NBA record for most three's allowed in a season. This should be a terrific advantage for us and it will be a big night for Brendan Haywood.

Why?!?!?!?!

Ji, did you steal WFC's login info?

More offense?!

What would probably have been better is Mason with Stevenson, because that's about as good defensively as the Wizards can do in the backcourt.

Keep Blatche, McGuire, and I say put Haywood back in.

Thanks for my new signature, G0A.

This feels like last night again.

They are so athletic they just blow by us and they are all in our face.


Only thing I can think of is that you have to over power a team like that.
Punk them early and often. Slow them down with fouls and put their players on the bench.

Anyone else have any better suggestions ?

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Hands, I think unlike on the road at Detroit the Wizards will win at home today on their offense.

Threes got to start falling soon.

Outscored by 10 in the third, I think the Wizards will come back strong tonight just on their offense.

[hands11]

RM and GA are in. Lets hope they both turn it on.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Gil with 7 straight.

[hands11]

This is a good line up for us.

Like I said. Time for the take over.

If we are going to do it. I think GA is going to have to be a big part of that.

Once they are all focused on GA, RM and other can step in.

[miller31time]

Gilbert taking over. 3 straight field goals.

Get that hibachi going!
