Playoffs?

The Big 3 played 122 minutes, so they are a big part of the issue. Haywood played a lot so he and AJ had to be the ones who were missing defensive rebounds. Oberto was horrible in the few minutes he played, giving away points all by his lonesome. Young wasn’t engaged for whatever reason.

As far as I can tell, the starters never committed to their assignments on the offensive or defensive end.

The “shocking” ploy of benching the starters for a more energetic crew should be practiced more often. The role players need to get better — and have a specific role — or the Wiz are going any place anyway.

This game was a lose, lose, loss: a loss plus bad habits condoned plus no player development.

the entire team was on vacation last night. the only difference between this game and the phx game is that minnesota isn’t very good. unfortunately, while losing at phx under the best of conditions is understandable, dropping a game to the twolves really hurts.

so there really isn’t much to say about the team last night other than they take nights off.

for those that couldn’t see it on fios, be happy you were spared.

and no, we can’t blame the game entirely on gil, but after a stretch where he hit three jumpers in a row and rambis called timeout, he was absolutely, positively awful, as was the rest of the team. nobody showed up to play. the only difference was he had the ball.

seems maybe there is a lack of leadership. that’s about the only thing worth analyzing from that performance.

I thought Boykins really disrupted offense and defense. After his insertion I saw the momentum change. It just seems w/o Arenas in the game everyone else is hit or miss. It might be sad but I may be an Arenas fan more than a Wizards fan. Sorry.
