Open Thread: Regular Season Game 67 vs. Sacramento Kings

NOW I gotta rent that movie.

I really disagree with this:

This is probably going to come as bad news to most of you, but I have a really good feeling that the Wizards won’t be losing to the Kings tonight.

Why? Why not? I’m a Kings fan. It’s impossible for me to continue being a fan unless I believe the team has a shot to win a game every time out. I believe that this team has a chance to win any given Sunday night they go out there.

Besides, maybe this team will win because they’re due? Who knows. Should be interesting that much I know. And, umm, Bobby Jackson isn’t playing due to the fractured cheek he suffered against Cleveland Friday Night.

Umm, and, because I try to believe in good sportsmanship, good luck to you all. You’re going to need it baby! (Who am I kidding?)

that this is exactly how I want to see the Wizards play every game? I know that Sacramento’s defense isn’t exactly elite, but the style we’re playing – running up the floor, going to Blatche and Jamison in the half court, and taking advantage of our combination of athletic players and big men who can pass in order to run every chance we get – is what this team is built for.

Oh, and Andray getting a goal-tending call is a good thing. Yeah, it’s technically a penalty, but at least it means he’s contesting shots.

Can’t say much more since I’m heading out to dinner, but if the game continues at this pace and style, I’ll be really happy when I get home.

Wow

We’re winning? Damn, there goes Blake Griffin.

But still, they call Pecherov the White Hole…but if JaVale gets it in the post, he is not giving the ball up…..

Why does he insist on taking the most difficult of shots?

How did McGee’s shot go in?

Allowing Sacto back into the game in the 2nd half

Even though this will hurt the Wizards’ draft standing, it’s nice to get a win once in a while, even if it’s against another struggling team. With 4 min. left, it looks like they can hang onto the lead. It’s not like they’re playing Cleveland or Boston here.

Surprising to see Jamison get a technical foul. With this late lead, maybe they should put Pecherov in there and tell him to keep passing. They need to get him at least ONE assist this year. And then they have to beat Charlotte. As bad as this season has been, it will be much worse if Pecherov goes the entire season without an assist and the Wizards set a new record by not winning a single division game.

Wow.

what a beast.

why Juan Dixon got more minutes than Crit tonight?

God, this really is the battle of the worst.

If anyone can cause the Wizards to lose a game when they’re up by 1 with 2 free throw shots coming – it would be Mike James…

KM had a great look

for almost blowing it

You earned it, except, I don’t think that’s really the case with 2 awful teams. Fun game when you factor out the awful officiating that both sides had to endure.

That was such a travel on the last shot anyway.

‘Tapscott addressed that part of the last play after the game: "I didn’t see the shot because I was looking for the guy that got sucked in on the drive. I was saying something to him that I can’t repeat."’
yay! when Gilbert does it against Milwaukee last year, no problem. When NY does it, no playing time.
