Real quick:
- Andray Blatche is out 3-5 weeks with a left calf injury. Talk about that news here. Or here. Wherever.
- Rip Hamilton is not playing tonight after playing on Sunday. Luol Deng is not playing after not playing on Sunday. C.J. Watson is officially a game-time decision. If he can't go, we might see good friend John Lucas III again. You may remember Lucas from his huge performance on January 11. You may also remember him from LeBron James' dunk on Sunday. Both memories are vivid in my mind.
GO WIZARDS!

i hate lebitch as much as the next guy but damn that dunk was nasty
Who would you rather right now? Noah or jvm. Ill put it out there that I would go with jvm over Noah anyday

i have to disagree with you there brother
IMO I think Noah wont be getting much Better and we have already seen the leap jvm has made this year so far. And he’s way more athletic than Noah. Jvm!!!

just what i think
His game is good now but I feel like he hasent progressed in 2 years. Not saying he’s not good its just what IV taken away from the half dozen games a year I watch of them. And he isn’t to much offense which is what we need most. (Creating own shot)

He's not a traditional back-to-the-basket guy, but he's a phenomenal high-post passer

Jan v Noah
So would Noah be a best case role model for Jan’s development? I see some similarities.
by hotplate on Jan 30, 2012 7:24 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
i say mcgee too,,,,noah wouldnt be as valuable on a team like ours
we need people who can score…noah cant create his own shot…
i love noah’s game though
Enduring the pain of wizards basketball....one game at a time
noah is good on teams like chi or SA
he’d be varejao for us

i agree 100%
he doesnt fit our team…..and we never would have developed him had we drafted him…
Enduring the pain of wizards basketball....one game at a time
plus just like mcgee
the fan base would be calling to get rid of him WAY too early in his career….
wished we developed our talent…
Enduring the pain of wizards basketball....one game at a time
Definitely Noah
In my opinion a top 10 defender in the league (regardless of position), sets great picks, finishes at the rim and generally doesn’t hurt you defensively. Not a mention a pretty good rebounder, good free throw shooter for a big man and his energy/motor is off the charts.
One of the most underrated players in the league and this shouldn’t even be a discussion.

Even with Deng/Hamilton and possibly Watson out
The way Rose feels after last night, I’m afraid of what he might do to us.
And Boozer, who isn’t a good as he’s hyped to be and should be shut down, will have a field day against our weak interior. If Wiz can manage to keep the rebounding margin close, they have a chance

john lucas was on the wrong end of the leboob dunk
But today I hope we aren’t on the receiveing end of the bulls’ anger…

woohoo i can watch a game on tv!
i live in atlanta. i have to stream everything. now hopefully we don’t get our ass kicked
I was looking forward to the wiz announcers
But apparently local games take precedent over NBAtv games and the wiz broadcast is blacked out for me. The bulls announcers suck

LOL
Loved that part in the CSN game intro video where Joakim Noah screamed like a little girl and they repeated it 3 times hahahhaha
Keys for the Wiz
limit penetration
everyone crash the boards
Limit bad shots from the wings
limit turnovers
push the ball
im excited to see john rose battle

And another nice take
Maybe theyll respect the drive on the pick and roll a bit more
Young left that lane wide open too though

Someone else needs to step up for us offensively
Rose can sustain this play, this isn’t Wall’s game

If wall developed into the scorer rose is. But lets give john credit. He’s holding his own

This game isn’t going anywhere especially of wall isn’t getting one call. It seems like the refs really don’t like wall. Except Tony brothers. He’s the man

We are terrible with this line up
Horrible spacing which takes away lanes, no shooting and no post play.

Defensive rebounding needs to improve

Safe to say
Trevor Booker hitting that means a lot
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
If he can provide offense
It justifies more minutes, which he helps and gives us better spacing

wish we made an effort to keep him out of the lane

Crawford provided an easy shot for 2 guys
They both passes it up. We need players with confidence. Seraphin the layup and Mack the jumper

C'mon, guys. Keep hustling and stay within 10.
Eventually those shots will start falling, but we need to stay in the game any way we can until then.
I like what Booker T is doing
these refs have been atrocious though. is it Joey Crawford?

he's one of the worst refs in the league now
he’s like a baseball umpire. ego over right call.

I like how your momentum is taking u away from John and ur arm thats reaching BACKWARDS
fouls him and its not clear path
c'mon wall, keep it under control
i know you wanna show up rose, but you gotta play within yourself!
Derrick Rose now knows how JOhn Wall feels not getting calls at the rim...
I used to have super powers until my psychiatrist took them away.
If the key to him scoring is not jumping
He’ll have a long career

On wanting Noah over JaVale…for what we just saw. JaVale can completely change the game all by his lonesome, on both sides of the court.
JaVale will be a superstar……do you think Noah is even “a star”? I think he’s just a good player. Nothing more.
He’s good. That’s it.
