well wiz fans
here we are once again for matchup of the heavily favored Sixers and our Wiz Kids. Get ready for what will most likely be absolutely ridiculous, good or bad.
their oaching is what beas us. They simply are disciplined to what their strength's are.
No wild play or bad shooting. Just execution we are like a wild team compared with them.
Before we get started it is my wish
that someone explains to Javale that the objective of a pick/screen is not to retreat to the paint asap, but to spring John free from his defender
by KurisuDevil on Jan 23, 2012 7:05 PM EST reply actions 1 recs
just to add to that...
that someone tells john that he doesn’t have to pick up his dribble when passing out of the pick and roll. He has a tendency to stop two dribbles after the screen, and look for the pass. It makes it way easier for his defender to recover.
by Alpha_Snail on Jan 23, 2012 7:08 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
I agree Wall picks up his dribble way too soon he should overdribble and probe in and out before looking for the quick pass.
Wall needs to watch some film.
as for Mcgee he needs to be coached to set solid screens thats a coaching issue a coach can get a player to set a good screen if its something he harps on. seems like Flip lets alot of the small things slide
Interesting -- like Booker and McGee playing together, and Blatche off the bench
Looking forward to this

how does that relate to truth about it's analysis?
by DarrellWalkerFan on Jan 23, 2012 7:10 PM EST up reply actions
just throwing lineups out there...heh...trying to find the right mix
in any case, most interesting is removing blatche…seems like he waited to get away from home…if he wanted him to stay in the time to do it would be away…
I think its mainly the Lewis over Singleton
Interested to see Dray off the bench as well
I'm not going to think of something extra witty or clever to say, I don't want to convince you to see things my way, I just have 2 words for you: JEREMY LAMB
well...looks like we are back to the vet starting line up
which looks bored already..
maybe Flip forget the reason for the lineup -energy and defense…
Lewis is really bad. I cring with I see him touch to ball.
by MajornvrMinor on Jan 23, 2012 7:13 PM EST via mobile reply actions
It also provided balance on both units...
so no we have a second team of JC, SM, Singleton, Booker, Seraphin…and Vesely as number 11…
I don’t like the decision…even if it works..
the team looks unenergized with the ball turning into Velcro all over again…
Wall was gone off 2 dribbles!!!

What else is he supposed to do?
He’s getting the ball near the mid-court line and no one is moving..

After the starters hit every shot, Philly can still bring in Lou Williams, Evan Turner, and Thaddeus Young to keep it going.
How are so many of our players under the rim
And cant get the rebound?

This is the making of a classic Wizards game
Get down by 30 points, second unit cuts it to 15, first unit comes back and lose by 25 points.
if it does
we’ll get the classic excited Buck call “and the Wizards pull within 17!!”
Crawford draws sooooooo much attention
And then gets all the way to the rim. You mean to tell me that that not one of our guys crashed there? What the fuck is really going on right now?

Why does every team seem to hit every single shot they take against us?
Even the contested shots, every single one goes in. Then we come down and brick an open jumper.
I notice this, it has to be a confidence thing
I watch the same teams that crush us struggle like an NBA team is supposed to against other teams.

Because Doug is gonna flame out right now he’s riding a wave but another playoff exit and he will be ready to explode and start stressing his team the hell out.
I just want the Wizard to be good enough to deliver the blows that sends him back where he belongs behind the mic.
