Raptors 109, Wizards 107

1. I hate Bosch, he looks like an oversized human taradactyle.

2. I knew the game was over when Caron shot a contested 3 and missed in the fourth w/o looking for ball movement options or driving.

3. Im glad this Boykins hype is over. If we gave Arenas the ball in the fourth we would have won the game. Boykins is good in the fourth but hes not Arenas and hes not scoring 33+ points either.

4. I wish Arenas shot the three and didnt drive.

5. A few calls I disagreed with that hurt us in the end. A particular one was the Bosch stop by Jamison that clearly was a jump ball. A few foul calls I disagreed with especially the Taser one on Turkajew. Definitly no more contact than Arenas got when getting mauled in the lane on a drive with no call.

i duno what to say. Great game. I am just glad Wizards are having such great games like this.

Hey idiot I kind of spelled it like that on purpose Turkajew. Its a joke do you even know where he is from, what his donomination is, your not smart to hink of that right?

And as far as “Bosch’s” name I could careless. Has nothing to do with the post so keep your mouth closed next time and keep it relevant.

If we didnt think Early Boykins was Kobe Bryant and gave it to Arenas we would have won. Also the contested jumper in OT by Caron hurt. Also Boykins ignored Young to much.

im not even mad they lost, they played hard in the 4th

1) We come out with a 1/4 offense with Arenas at the point. But they players have already given up on this offensive scheme. Down 15.

2) Flip doesn’t recognize the personality of this team over the years regarding play against the easier teams at home. He needs to go to an energy unit much quicker.

3) The second team goes +19 in the 2nd quarter and sees no action together again.

4) Flip relies heavily on the Big 3 (average 40 minutes). Injuries to follow (assuming that they aren’t already playing hurt).

5) I’m not sure what the McGuire substitution was all about but it didn’t help. McGee sees no action in the 2nd half.

6) Everybody says how great Bosh played and how tough Turgu’s shot was, but Toronto’s starting backcourt shot 12 for 20. (Boykins played 38 minutes).

Several people on this board have been saying the Wiz have been playing well. Not yet. They still lack an identity, chemistry and trust.

on wednesday AJ took a bunch of bad shots and made them. i didn’t see the 4th or overtime, but my impression was that AJ was taking the same bad shots last night and missing them… ballgame. to me, much of flip’s comments seemed to be directed at AJ. he’s gotta know when he doesn’t have it going and contribute in other ways.

toronto was playing a statement game and still didn’t look very good. they are really going to struggle this year.

still hoping flip pulls this thing together. we have always been an erratic team. it will be a tough adjustment.

Someone said the loss was Arenas’ for missing the shot. I dont know if you watched the game twice I did. I saw a major turnover from Arenas that looked bad but the MAJORITY of it came from a contested missed jumper way out on the top of the arc by Butler with time on the clock. A a few missed shots by Boykins a turnover by Boykins and what I thought was bad court vision by Boykins. Young was open several times in the fourth and was completely ignored on the weak side. Instead Boykins sent over to the congested area and we had Jamison shooting a contested jump shot that lead to a miss. Alot of things were wrong. But saying Arenas is the one is just completely unfair. He is the guy who kept us in the game. Dont believe go ahead and watch the game again.

Nothing of the 1st quarter slump in there obviously but Gil looked good
and the 34pts will hopefully jumpstart him now, Turk is one of the better closers
in the NBA and he showed it with that shot.
