Wizards at Bucks: Bucks by 1
Over/Under on Total Scoring: 189
I'm heading out the door, but I'll be back by around 8:45-9 to watch the rest of this one. In the meantime, begin chatting here.
I'm working on a longer post about Andray Blatche that'll hopefully be posted tomorrow. To summarize: he's not Kwame, he has his own complex issues.
There's no reason why we can't win tonight. Milwaukee's not very good and they don't play defense yet. We really could use this one and I'll be pissed if we lose.
GO WIZARDS!

Blatche starting.
Coach Eddie Jordan on deciding to start Blatche, who played only four minutes in Saturday’s loss at Detroit: “I know it’s a little bit of a far cry from the minutues he carried in Detroit but it’s another opportunity and let’s see if he seizes the moment.”
More Eddie on Andray: “We want it to sort of jump start him for the remainder of the season. Not just a flash tonight. We want him to give great effort and play his role and carry it to tomorrow’s practice and the weekend.”
And here...we...go
This could be huge for the rest of the season. If Andray seizes this opportunity, it could serve as a major confidence boost for Andray and Eddie Jordan. On the other hand, if Andray doesn’t show up, he’ll be so far in Eddie’s doghouse that he might never get out.

Agreed
Big chance for Blatche. I think he’ll step to the plate – though he’s been a bit immature this year I’m guessing deep down he wants to prove Eddie wrong and this is his chance to do it.

I don't which is worse
The offense or the defense.
Just go with
Dixon, Young, Butler, Jamison, and McGee… It’s not like anyone is playing defense anyway; might as well score some points.
Was it this horrid . .

And that's a 28-9 run

Thankfully I don’t think you could go wrong either way. It’s interesting to see that the guys from the 2007 draft from spots 12-16 (Thad Young, Julian Wright, Al Thornton, Stuckey, Nick Young) are really outperforming 6-11 (Yi, Corey Brewer, Brandan Wright, Joakim Noah, Spencer Hawes, Acie Law).

6-11 had a lot of reaches for potential
Yi and Hawes especially were boom or bust kinds of picks, IMO. I’m still surprised Brewer didn’t pan out yet.

I Wish
Haywood didn’t get hurt. Daniels, Young, Butler, Jamison, Haywood would be so money, with Juan scoring off the bench & mcGee giving Haywood breathers

Yup.
dixon+young+mcgee>daniels+blatche+stevenson
So Eddie, why do have this lineup in again?

this game should have been over a long time ago.
Once again, our starting lineup performs terribly and we blow a lead
What's EJ got against NY?

Not a great job by the Bucks there
Jefferson should be taking the final shot
Yeah
Good job by the Wiz forcing Luc to take that shot, although I would’ve like a little better contest of that shot.

Hot damn
My meetings went late, and I’m just coming back to this. Anyone want to fill me in?
I’m going to have to watch this on replay.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
More or less
Butler, Jamison, and the bench = Awesome
Everyone else = Teh suck

Does that include Dray
Based on seeing Songaila in there, I’m going to assume yes.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Mostly yes
He’s been okay at times, but he started terribly.

is going to be problematic this year if AD is as bad as he looks

Summary: Crap! Yes! Crap! OT.

How can Jamison honestly take that shot? Seriously? Think of yourself much?

You could argue...
Being only down six (2 possessions) you could’ve gotten a better 3 point shooter the ball.
"My swag was phenomenal!"
losses to the bucks and the nets?!
this is gonna be a LOOOOOONNNNGGGG season
Remember when nick young hit a 15 footer to tie the game, then next drive he got fouled..
well he didn’t take a shot after that, insteaad D-shawn turnovers & Jamison misses
Oy. Well, I’m going to need to watch this, but recap thread is coming.

argh
jamison just had the worst 19pt 10 rb game in the history of the NBA

New thread guys
Check the main page.

Jamison is a go to player?
I didn’t watch the game. I followed along on line. But in the 4th and OT Jamison shot and missed over and over again. Finished 6-19. Also why is Stevenson jacking up 3s? He was 1-7. What good is Daniels? The so called leaders need to lead!
