Open Thread: Regular Season Game 9 v. Atlanta Hawks
Washington @ Atlanta
I have a meeting now, but I'll be back to chat it up in the game thread shortly.
Atlanta's struggling, having lost their last four games after a 6-0 start. Two of those losses were to New Jersey, so that makes me feel a little better about us losing to the Nets.
For a more comprehensive game preview, Peachtree Hoops has what you need.
GO WIZARDS!
UPDATE: Dee & JaVale will start tonight, Al Horford is out with an ankle injury.

Our prayers have possibly been answered
Eddie is going to start Dee Brown and Javale McGee. Oh Al Horford AND Josh Smith are not playing. If we still happen to lose then I don’t care what any says; we suck!

As a former McGee-as-a-starter skeptic,
I’ve support this. It seems everyone who was conservative about this before has come around after the last Heat game.
After reading that Washington Time blog, and thinking about it only slightly, I think I like Dee Brown starting too.

Me either
But now that I think about it, Juan has played his best when he comes off the bench. Hopefully he will revert back to the way he was playing when he was coming off the bench and hopefully McGee doesn’t somehow get the jitters and start to look like a rookie that isn’t ready to start in the NBA.

The only problem
I have with Deshawn starting is that he can’t create off the dribble – giving us 2 guards (no matter the PG ) who can’t create for themselves. With Gil it’s fine b/c the floor is opened up and he can spot up for 3s.

More Pech
A few plays ago, when Blatche had the ball on the wing, both Thomas and Pech dove to the basket, which is theoretically good, but then they both just stood there when the pass didn’t come. It was obvious Pech knew he wasn’t supposed to be there with Thomas, but equally obvious he had no idea where to go.
It ended well in that Pech got the rebound, but then didn’t end well when Dixon travelled.

In his defense
I think he was playing the SF position at the time with both McGee and Jamison on the floor. But still, his dribbling should be kept to a minimum.

How do you look off AJ in the post with Flip Murray on his back – more than once – and then kick it out to the top of the key with 4 seconds left on the clock??? It’s like they show no awareness for the most simple things sometimes it blows my mind!!!

It looked to me like Butler led him a hair too much with that pass, and Young had to speed up to get to it, and in speeding up got there too quickly to receive it well. So in essence I think it was a timing problem more than his hands.
