Gameday Golden State

|---|---|---|
| Wizards | vs. | Warriors |
| Gilbert Arenas |
PG | Stephen Curry |
| DeShawn Stevenson |
SG | Monta Ellis |
| Caron Butler |
SF | Anthony Morrow |
| Antawn Jamison |
PF | Corey Maggette |
| Brendan Haywood |
C | Chris Hunter |
I'm concerned. Golden State is awful, don't get me wrong. They're starting Vladimir Radmanovic, who doesn't try on defense. They're going to give minutes to Chris Hunter, who I haven't even heard of.
But they're also the fastest-paced team in the league, by nearly four possessions. I haven't seen a team finish the season at the century mark in possessions since I've been blogging, so it's extremely rare to play this fast. The Wizards have displayed some awful transition defense this road trip (and really all season). Combine the fastest team in the league with the worst transition team in the league, and you get bad things.
Otherwise, though, we should win. It's an ESPN game, and Golden State's a tough place to play, but I don't see any way they stop us tonight. Watching Gilbert and Monta go at it will be fun (Hollinger, Arenas may be overpaid, but he does not provide "midlevel production." Pay more attention please). Jamison should own Radmanovic and the undisciplined Anthony Randolph, and Butler might actually get it going when he goes against Morrow, Radmanovic and Corey Maggette. It's all about transition D, though, and transition D has been awful.
GO WIZARDS!

Interested to watch this one
My close friend is a big Golden State fan and we’ve been bantering about this one for a little while. His prediction is that GS loses but Monta goes for 35 or more. Seems entirely plausible. The funny thing is both teams are capable of choking away a close game, since GS has no depth and Wizards are…well, you know.
I’m also pretty sure Biedrins is still out. No reason that the Wizards shouldn’t dominate on the boards.
for those that want changes
if we lose tonight…
the pressure is on.

Excited to be seeing this one in person
This will be my first Wizards home game after hundreds at the Cap Center and the Phone Booth.
I’ve always given fans from other teams sporting jerseys dirty looks when I’ve seen them at games in DC, so I guess its my turn this time :)
When I was out there for training for my job...
I saw the Cleveland / GS game that LeBron hit his first game winner. It’s a great place to watch a game. Sort of jealous.
I think this is a good thing, but I'm not sure
“I think I’m going to have to reign it in,” the coach said. "In all my years of coaching – and this is CBA and 15 season in the NBA – I have never had to yell at a player for taking bad shots in a game, until this year. I think there’s no question, it’s a catch-22. You try to give them their freedom so they find their confidence, but then when you have to keep talking to them about what’s a good shot and what’s a bad shot, you get to the point where you say, ‘To hell with the confidence. You have to understand.’ "

Hopefully we'll attack the basket tonight.
There should be no reason whatsoever not to. Anthony Randolph is the only one who could remotely block shots on GS’s squad especially with Biedrins out.
That's interesting
My eyes tell me they’re running the half-court offense, just poorly, so it’s odd to see Flip say this. It seems he asked them to push more, but is realizing that makes no sense.
The more disturbing thing, really, is that he’s once again trying to tinker and change things. There hasn’t been a ton of consistency in his message this year.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Yea, that Hollinger comment was ridiculous
That’s why that guy perturbs me when it comes to the Wizards.
Representing DC with Wizards & Stuff - Truth About It.net and Bullets Forever.
Go Wizzies...
This is one you just gotta win… convincingly if possible.
Way to go Flip:
Saunders said he would be surprised by his players’ poor shot selection, if he hadn’t already know about it from his days with the Detroit Pistons. “When I took the job, I looked at all my reports that I had in Detroit and my one report always said, ‘No matter what the score is, keep playing because they will shoot you back into the game,’” Saunders said. “I just think part of it is, when things go bad, that’s when a lot of the bad shots happen and I think we got guys, they think they want to get us going. Like I said, your strength can sometimes be your greatest weakness. Their strength is there ability to make plays, but if you don’t control it, it can be your downfall.”
I really like him being so tough

This was kinda disturbing, anyone agree?
“When I took the job I looked through all my reports from when I was in Detroit, and all of them said [about the Wizards], ‘No matter what the score is just keep on playing because they’ll shoot you back into the game.’”

A pre-existing truth can't be that disturbing
What’s the disturbing is that the players haven’t known this for a long time and haven’t taken conscious measures to correct up to this point of the season.
Representing DC with Wizards & Stuff - Truth About It.net and Bullets Forever.
That's what I quoted above but i guess it's kinda buried in there.
He’s absolutely right and it amazes me that this team doesn’t understand how much their bad shot selection hurts us so much

God, the Cavs are so damn boring
And that was a blatant offensive foul they didn’t call.

Don't get me wrong
It would definitely be nice to see Arenas get to 40, or even more. Actually, I would love to see it. But I’m hoping we get a win first and foremost.
Heeere's Gilbert
Antawn needs to get into this game.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
It's his kind of game, up and down

Second bad one tonight

Whoa, Gilbert is feeling it
He might go for a ton of points, which would be great for his confidence.

I think his quote after the Sac game...
Talking about how he needs to get it back sooner is showing some fruit in this game.
He's destroying me in fantasy bball already.

I don't agree completely
Gilbert in particular has attacked the rim, and Haywood’s gotten a couple dunks. Golden State’s the one jacking jumpers now.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Well yeah, but Arenas set him up well
Point is, we’re driving, they aren’t.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Yeah, that's the key
They’re jacking. Only Maggette is driving to the rim.

If I'm Flip, here's what I tell him
“See! You play better when you run the floor!”
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
but there’s nobody on GS taller than 6’8" on the floor… and Butler is playing against a smaller defender…
I’ve noticed that his best games this year are when he plays against smaller players – and can post up, or just rise up and shoot over them…

Than he is a full time SG

Get something for the pain and come back out whether it’s good for him or not.
Yeah, probably
He looked fine to me, probably got the wind knocked out of him or something.

Wow – I just hit replay – it sure didn’t look like much
Jamison ran into a GS player – didn’t hit very hard….
Is there such a thing as a “glass shoulder” ?

Boykins is a zero out there.
Put zero back in.
Van Gundy just said the following
“Other than Earl Boykins who is going to play consistently well off the bench where you know what you’re going to get?”
False
You know what you’re going to get from Foye. Seriously.

Why not just call out Boykins?

Because he just said he's their best bench player
Obviously, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
To be fair, a lot of it has to do with boykins not being Arenas.
It’s like CP3’s backup always looks worse than he actually is.

Flip
Flip Saunders is a complete idiot. We are going to lose this game because he sat Gilbert for 7 minutes in the 2nd quarter. You dont sit a man that is scorching hot for 7 minutes while your ball-hogging 5’5 “4th quarter hero” and a talented but incredibly stupid 7 footer decide they want to blow this game. This is a damn joke, if we lose he better be fired.
I think it was the right time
The problem isn’t sitting Arenas, it’s that Boykins sucks. Try Foye at the 1 instead.

Boykins
has now been scouted by all the teams in the league. He has to work really hard to pass or get a shot. The only thing he does really well is aggressively run the pick and roll.. Foye’s size let him at least make the initial pas sin the system. Handling the ball more will let him take his rythm. Boykins is a great 3rd pg not a long term solution at backup pg
by forthepeople on Dec 18, 2009 11:50 PM EST up reply actions
Now don't get me wrong... I completely agree with you.
I think Foye needs a better shot and needs more plays run for him when our second unit is out on the floor. I’m just saying that it could be argued that Arenas could’ve been in the game either for a bit longer or come back earlier.
The moment this game changed momentum.....
9 minute mark when Boykins came in for Arenas. It was a 10 point Wiz lead, and quickly went down to a one point game. It has happened in basically every game during this west coast trip. Is Saunders really not seeing it??

He is a better option to start at the 2g over Stevenson and he was better for the team at backup pg.

definitely
I just looked at some youtube. He definitely had more of a lift on his jumpshot. He twists his body in more of a weird way then he used to. He used to have a better follow through and better extension of the arm during his shot.

You mean it's
Possible for us to win a game without Earl Boykins playing in the fourth quarter??? Who knew?
not often you see someone score 45+ and dish out 13+ assists

*shaking in fear*
I love watching those Suns, but when they’re up against my Wiz, I hope they die.
My swag was phenomenal.
We actually won!!

Things are looking up
We’ve still got a lot of the season left and Charlotte is 10-14 in the 8th seed. We could start pulling up into the middle of the pack of the playoff seeds in the East with all the bad teams.
