Tonight's Lines
Knicks at Wizards: Wizards by 5
Over/Under on Total Scoring: 206.5
If we do not win this game, I might shoot somebody. Some quick points before we start.
Clarifying my position on Blatche: I never got a chance to write that post I promised because my life is way too busy for my own good right now, but I feel like I need to at least make things clear lest I be labeled as a Blatche apologist (deservingly or undeservingly). The thing is, I share everyone's frustration that he has yet to take the next step. I was like "WTF, dude" when he threw that ball into the first row. But I am not the type of person who feels right making the jump that Dray doesn't care about the game. That's a really unfair thing for a fan to say, methinks. I think he's trying too hard to impress everybody instead of setting down and playing his role. A lot of that is his fault -- he has to realize he's in there to rebound and defend.
A lot of it, however, is the way his minutes are yanked around. He's singled out for not performing, but it's unclear exactly what he's supposed to do, other than to play well. When you go from using him as your closing center one game to playing him four minutes in the next to then starting him, it's hard to ask him to be consistent. This isn't a new thing either; we've seen this each of the last three seasons. Search the archives here for the complaints. I just want to see Blatche get the same amount of time each game and for Eddie to explicitly say to him what his role is. If Blatche continues to get his minutes for a stretch longer than one game and still underperforms, then he'll bear more of the blame. For now, though, it's too early for me to do that.
I will say that Eddie gets a bit more of a pass now because Blatche isn't the only dude who's minutes are being jerked around. It's also not as bad as Haywood because, with Haywood, there was the added drawback that Eddie was benching one of his most important players because of perceived lack of effort. But I'm going to continue to get on people for making a ton out of Blatche's mistakes and not doing the same for everybody else. You're free to view this otherwise, but I'm free to opine that such view is unfair.
About the Knicks: They're running this year, all the way up to second in pace through four games. Of course, when Chris Duhon is your point guard, you aren't going to have an efficient offense right away. They are 2-2, with wins over Charlotte and Miami, but the offense hasn't been much better just yet. It is interesting to read about the need to corrall long rebounds tonight (see the first WI link). All the more reason for Blatche to play, though it really means DeShawn and Caron need to really focus on boarding.
Lineup changes: I think both Ivan and Mike Lee go a little over the top with their admittedly interesting lineup changes. (To be fair, Mike's wasn't his idea, and Ivan was just responding to Mike's post). Playing small is silly except for late in games when you need a score. Playing big (DeShawn/Caron/Antawn/Dray or Songaila/McGee makes more sense, but I think it's a little too drastic. I really just want to see Juan starting. Ivan's right that we need to be careful about the tiny sample size, but the difference between our bench guards and our starting guards is staggering. Breaking AD and DeShawn up is a decent experiment if you're searching for answers.
Center, center: I'm expecting a lot of small ball tonight. I hope it doesn't happen, but I get it on some level. Just make it Blatche sometimes instead of Songaila.
I also want to see JaVale get a lot of minutes. Eddie has hinted at playing the guy more, now it's time to follow it up with some action. JaVale's going to make major mistakes, like he did when he allowed Andrew Bogut to get the go-ahead dunk in regulation, but he, like Blatche, needs to work through them. It helps that JaVale is younger and seemingly more coachable in Eddie's eyes.
GO WIZARDS!

Eddie gets an undeserved bad rap for a lot of things,
but he does get too reactionary in his lineups. I hope he doesn’t play small tonight just because New York is.

Looking at the Knicks stats
No one for New York is shooting over 50%, which just goes to show that it’s going to take a while for D’Antoni to get the roster he needs in Gotham.

Blatche
He’s singled out for not performing
There’s a lot of Wizards not performing right now.
Antawn Jamison is shooting 14% (that’s FOURTEEN percent) from 3-point land – yet he keeps jacking them up at a rate of almost 5 per game. How smart is that?
That, combined with his lower rebounding numbers (compared to last year) – should have folks complaining – but instead Blatche is singled out for being a bonehead.
Darius Songaila has played in 3 games, averaging just around 19 minutes per game and has a total (TOTAL ) of just 4 rebounds. Not an AVERAGE of 4 rebounds per game, but a TOTAL of 4 rebounds for the 3 games. Yet, no one is saying that Darius has “no heart”.
Antonio Daniels is the starting Point Guard, but is only averaging 6 points and 4 assists per game. Those 4 assists currently rank him at 37th in the League, behind such fancy passers as Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson in Milwaukee. Add fact that Daniels can’t keep the opponent’s ballboy from getting to the lane to draw fouls against our bigs – Yet, his playing time is not being yanked around.

It seems like more of an And1 kind of move. Maybe he should just throw the ball into the crowd. But really, it just annoys me when they’re playing so poorly to see the starting SG acting goofy.

Can you really trust anything that is said?

Take Nick out
We don’t need the scoring at this point.

The Knicks?
Really?
If only we could trade Taser for one day and have him put up 30 on us off their bench before we got him back...

Yeah
And of course we’ll beat the Magic

Honestly
Our only hope right now is that Arenas returns and either 1) sparks a defensive revolution, or 2) we put up 125 a night.

Or McGee blocks 15+ a night

We need a center who can rotate
Shot blocking doesn’t do much for us.

On the bright side
We went 1-2 against the Knicks last year and we did alright. That’s all I got.

Well -
we did start 0-5 last season and managed to turn it around
by ooba on Nov 7, 2008 9:23 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
This is true
This was our Denver game, where we were thorougly outclassed at home. The difference is that we played three outstanding teams in that five-game stretch, and the two that weren’t were road games. We’re losing to New Jersey, Milwaukee and New York right now.

Where do you guys see the first win coming this season? Orlando and Utah looking daunting. Maybe Miami?

We will beat Miami
If I have to come up for the game, head out onto the court, and give a couple fouls MYSELF.
We will beat Miami.
by sierradave on Nov 7, 2008 9:26 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Just so we're clear
When sierradave says “give a couple fouls MYSELF” he means “club the Heat with a totem pole MYSELF”.
