Washington Wizards at New York Knicks, Nov 22, 2008 7:30 PM EST
I love this photo because literally every single player is ignoring Isiah Thomas. I'm sure I'm taking this out of context, but it's just so damn amusing.
Anyway, the Knicks will trot out a skeleton crew tonight after their two big trades yesterday. The result the last time we played the Knicks caused me to unleash this epic rant that made less sense than anything that's ever been posted here. Hopefully, that won't happen again tonight.
I'm taking the girlfriend out tonight, so I'll probably catch this one on archive. For those watching live, chat about the game here.
GO WIZARDS!

Bad call
What’s more romantic than staying at home and watching Wizards and Knicks?
And I’m pretty sure this is the least coherent thing ever written on this site.

That is a hilarious picture
Quentin Richardson’s look is priceless, and I am assuming they are ignoring Isiah.

This should be fun
Brendan Haywood is going to be with the Wizards Pregame crew tonight. What’s the over/under on veiled shots he takes at Etan Thomas? I’ll say 3.5.

This is who we're facing tonight
Starters:
Nate Robinson
Chris Duhon
Quentin Richardson
Wilson Chandler
David Lee
Bench:
Malik Roberson
Anthony Roberson
On the bench but almost definitely won’t play:
Stephon Marbury
If we can’t win tonight, there are huge, huge problems.

If you're Stephon Marbury
How do you not play for the Knicks under their current situation? After this season, your contract is up, albeit for 21 mil, but still, you are basically starting from scratch because I don’t see any team having faith in signing a FA Marbury that hasn’t played or hasn’t shown anything for a pretty long time now.

In addition
In much simpler terms, you are a basketball player. You’re telling me Gilbert Arenas would chose not to play if he had the chance? Marbury just looks pathetic right now.

All of those arguments are logical
Sadly, Starbury lacks any logic hence why he decided to sit out. And Seth is saying that Jerome James has been activated tonight which means Starbury doesn’t have to suit up.

He's probably an afterthought at this rate
The Knicks will probably be trotting out a lineup of Nash, Wade, Bron, Bosh, and Amare in 2010.*
- - Not really. But your scenario does scare me a little.

Thats true
But looking at the Knicks roster, they don’t have a force in the middle. With all the offense Lebron and whatever 2 free agents go to NY with him, they are going to be looking to reinforce their defense, and that starts in the middle. If I’m Donnie Walsh, Brendan Haywood is first on my list right now for free agent pick ups in the range of 8-9 mil a year.

AD is goin' all Gilbert on everyone!
Daniels, who returned last night after missing four of five games, wanted to go tonight but Coach Eddie Jordan said the coaches made the decision to have him sit. Daniels was not happy with the decision and tossed his game jersey on the floor of the locker room after he was told.
Jordan: “He thinks he’s ready to go but I want to make sure. The coaches didn’t like his pregame so, we’re going to save him from himself.”

I think we’ve played well except for guarding the 3 point line (as always). Lot’s of effort overall and good ball movement on offense. I mean, I think we have a 10 game sample that says our team is not good and won’t blow anybody out so any improvement is a plus.

The defense is embarassing
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

Songaila
has been out there too long. Andray Blatche, please.

wizards out rebounding the Knicks, more points in the paint, shooting 47% –
and they can’t shake the Knicks because they can’t defend the 3-point line.
The only way the Knicks win this game is if they hit 3-pointers – and Eddie is still having his players “defending the rim”……………

They're playing at the Knicks' pace
Not good.

We're going to have to make 3s
So yeah…not good.
by KShark28 on Nov 22, 2008 9:41 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
And if we are going to play at this pace
McGee should be on the court. He’s, like, infinitely faster than Songaila.

They're
actually playing well on offense, but the perimeter D is getting ridiculous

Crikey
Nate just turned Juan Dixon into Antonio Daniels.

So Dixon...
0 for 5. Why is he in? NOT for defense! Arghh.

The only thing I can figure
is that EJ secretly likes his shotjacking with 12 seconds left on the shotclock. It’s really the only explanation left.

Can't say
that Stevenson coming in is going help matters much.

I have no idea why he is playing right now

It feels like
he’s got some blackmail on EJ.

And here comes McGee
now that the game is over.

Little late
For McGee to be coming in…though D-Song certainly didn’t cost us this one tonight.

Boy this has to be the low point
Losing to a 7 man roster of a team that is missing its 2 best players.

Not to mention
that we let every single one of their starters to score in double digits

I can't believe how depressing that game was-
yet I couldn’t make myself stop watching. Life is very tough as a wizards fan right now. We are beyond bad and I don’t see this changing anytime soon.

Minutes Watch
Jamison played 42 minutes
Butler played 31 and a half minutes
Stevenson played 37 and a half minutes
Songaila played 25 minutes
Brown played 22 minutes
NY and Taser each played 19 minutes
Dixon played just under 13 minutes
Thomas played just under 12 minutes, all in the first half
Blatche played 10 minutes, all in the first half
McGee played 8 and a half minutes, all but 45 seconds of those in the first half.

Stevenson and NY
Need to switch places on this list – same with McGee and Songaila (though, as I said earlier, D-Song played well in this game). 3 fouls early in the second half is NOT foul trouble.

By the way
Are these annoying? Are they valuable? Does it matter?
by Jon L on Nov 22, 2008 10:00 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I find them useful
I always look at it to compare who got the most minutes with who I think actually deserved the most minutes.
For example, seeing Stevenson, who clearly isn’t the third best player and wasn’t the third best player tonight just triggers a big, flashing red light in my mind.

It's official
We really are a crappy team. I was trying to psyche myself out saying that we weren’t playing our best and that we have two all stars that will get us over the hump but I see that we need more than two all stars; we need a miracle, probably more than one actually.

I'm beginning to come around -
on the need for a new coach
by ooba on Nov 22, 2008 10:03 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Just look at the Knicks
They played the same lineup as last year, MINUS two big scorers, and they still managed to drop in major points. These were the same Knicks who were pathetic last year. Coaching means a lot.
by KShark28 on Nov 22, 2008 10:09 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
me too
I really like Eddie Jordan but he just isn’t getting it. I’ve always supported Eddie over the years but I’m all on board for a new head coach. I wonder what Avery Johnson is doing?

4th game in 5 nights
i would have been surprised if we’d won tonight.

Right about now
I’d be surprised if we win any game

Knicks
were on a back-to-back with 7 players and playing their 3rd game in 5 nights. They have a new coach and a new system. No excuses for this one. We suck. We’re trying, but we suck.

not saying we don't suck
a let down tonight is not surprising to me is all.
