Game Day Denver
| Tonight's Starters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Wizards | vs. | Nuggets |
| Player filling in for injured starter |
PG | Chauncey Billups |
| Player filling in for injured starter | SG | J.R. Smith |
| Player filling in for injured starter | SF | Carmelo Anthony |
| The Last Man Standing |
PF | Renaldo Balkman |
| Player filling in for injured starter | C | Nené |
Last year when these two teams tangled at the Phone Booth on a game televised by ESPN, the Nuggets thumped the Wizards by 26. The team looked awful, the fans booed, and the Wizards found themselves staring at an 0-5 record. That game would prove to be the turning point in the season as the Wizards reeled off six straight wins and after that point never left the playoff discussion.
Except for the whole using-this-game-a-catalyst-to-get-back-in-the-playoff-hunt, thsi game could very well turn out to be a lot like last year's game. People will rightfully be scared of Chauncey Billups because of how he's helped that team this season, and they'll rightfully be scared of Carmelo Anthony because he's an outstanding player, but the one to watch out for tonight is Nené.
Just about every low post player is a threat against us, but the Brazillian can really wreak some havoc against the Wizards' front line. Nené's size negates Songaila's ability use to use his bulk to keep him off the blocks and body him up and JaVale's only hope in stopping him is that maybe he can block some of his shots early and get into his head. If neither of those things happen, the Wizards better hope that they can get him in foul trouble, because that's probably the only way they stand a chance in this one.
This is an open thread, so if you had to cut your hair because you lost a video game, you can talk about it here.
GO WIZARDS!

He took over the Mavs
with 18 games left and led the team on a 16-2 run, thats 89% winning percentage.
If we signed him after tonights game and he pulled off a similar feat, we could finish 38-44. That might be good for an 8th seed

Well - Wizards down 34
When do you expect we’ll see Nick Young?

Tapscott should chew the young
out and teach them a thing about being professional. If he could motivate the young players to focus and succeed at a goal of say getting the margin of victory within 20, that’d be somewhat of a moral victory and a lesson learned.

I think the point I was trying to make
is that Tapscott DOES have a doghouse…… and Young is in it.

This is one of the worst performances I've ever seen
I know the team is down. I know lots of guys are hurt. But losing by more than 30 in an NBA game is just a disgrace.

So
The young guys (Crit, McGuire, McGee, Young and Pecherov), play almost the entire 4th quarter…
A quarter in which the Wizards outscore Denver 33-22…
A quarter in which there was much more energy… more sharing the ball (except Young)… and more, dare I say, defense? Yes, I said it… the Wizards second unit actually played some defense.
Caveat all that with the fact that Denver was up by 34 points at one point; but still……….

I just got through the first half and I think I got what I needed to see out of the game. If I mail in the recap, it’s only because it reflects the game.

Gaining experience!
With the injuries that’s about the best you can root for. I did it for years with the Nuggets. Was watching lotto teams and bad drafts … FOR YEARS! Skita!!! haha…gaawd.
Best of luck to Arenas’ recovery. Wanted that guy to sign in Denver way back when. Guy cracks me up with his blogs. Does he still write? I haven’t checked in forever.
Crit looks like a player in this league for sure.
