Wow, a nationally televised game for us :-)

I just want to see 30+ minutes from Nick Young and McGee.

We're going to lose quite a few of them this year... :-?

I hate playing the Rockets. Their defense is stifling. I'll never forget the last time we played them. It was back when they were on that 20-game winning streak. It was one of the most impressive defensive performances I've ever seen in the NBA. We just couldn't score. It seemed like they had 6 or 7 defenders on the court! Every single shot was contested.

We lost 94-69 but that was only after they let up in the 2nd half. The score at halftime was 51-23.

You read that right: 51-23.

I believe that was their first game after Yao was announced out for the rest of the season but they still ended up winning around 15 games after that. The Rockets don't seem to be playing at that level right now but I don't like the Wizards' chances.

Why you gotta bring that back into my memory?

There are maybe two teams I'd predict a win against right now. Houston is not one of them.

Oklahoma City (1-11) and the Clippers (2-9)? :-?

I hate to say it, 1-9.

Eddie on the radio: "..You have to have length to compete with Houston".

Starting line: Dee Brown + JVMcG again with AD off the bench...

1st offensive possession - McGee with a strong drive and made basket against Yao

1st defensive possession - McGee with a strong defensive stop against Yao, and the rebound

Fast start again. So far.

Great drive by Antawn.

Jamison going up with the strong dunk? What, he trying to show off on national television?

WOOOOooooo hello Yao, my names McGee.

Post #17 » by **miller31time** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 12:18 am

Man, what a start by the Wiz. To say I'm shocked is an understatement.

Looking good thus far. McGee is playing well on both ends.

Good gravy, McGee already out of the game. What, were things going to well, we needed a shakeup?
