Your Washington Wizards
where “not playing awful” is reason to celebrate…
I used to have super powers until my psychiatrist took them away.

Biggest difference in this game
Is the 3 point shooting:
Chi: 4-11
Wash: 0-5
Wizards are winning the rebound battle and have double as many free throws made. Wittman needs to put someone out there that can hit a wide open 3 pointer
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
Therein lies the problem...
trying to get a “wide open” three against this Chicago defense…
I used to have super powers until my psychiatrist took them away.
uh - - -
JCraw misses 72% of his three point shots…. so that’s not newsworthy
I used to have super powers until my psychiatrist took them away.
Thats irrelevant
The issue is there is a wide open shot and someone needs to make it.

NOT irrelevant...
A SMART defensive team knows which players they can leave alone (Crawford and Lewis) and which ones they cannot….
Unlike the Wizards, who keep leaving Korver, one of the best all time 3-point shooters,
I used to have super powers until my psychiatrist took them away.
Thibdeau is probably drawing up his defense to
allow Crawford all the wide open three pointers he wants to take….

We've had at least three already
-Rashard Lewis from the right corner
-Jordan Crawford from the same right corner
-Shelvin Mack from the left wing.
The looks are there…
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
McGee and Wall are a combined 9-16 from the field
The rest of the team? 6-31
We’re lucky to be in this one, fellas.
So this is what it's like to have a team defense so good that you can suck
on Offense, and still be winning by 11 at the half….
I used to have super powers until my psychiatrist took them away.
Its not even the defense
The 3-ball has been keeping them in it. Wizards have been getting great looks, Bulls have been bad on both ends.
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
Look at who the Bulls are ALLOWING good looks at 3 pointers !!!
Lewis 24%
Crawford 28%
And they’re in Nick Young’s back pocket… He can’t get free at all… !!
I used to have super powers until my psychiatrist took them away.
Young really hasnt been free though
He’s taking some awful shots
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
All due respect, I done care about none of that
Guys are wide open, the shots need to be made. No excuses, or insert a player that is able to knock them down.

what if
eg had some foresight and had let flip go and hired thibs when we had the chance.
wait a sec
when did thibs walk from boston and join chicago? i thought last year was his 1st year?
He was hired to be Eddie's defensive assistant before the 07/08 season
But left after a week because the dynamic was awkward.
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/wizardsinsider/2011/03/tom-thibodeau-turned-bad-fit-i.html
Bulls are so well built as far as pieces fitting
Have a couple bruisers, some length, an explosive penetrator and shooting to spread it and energy guys off the bench thats well built.
i'd say
if they had a better pf than boozer, they could be a legitimate title winner.
He used to be better though
If he can get back to his Jazz days, watch out!
Not likely though, maybe they can amnesty him and try to sign a FA this summer

i like what brent barry just said
there’s no flow to our offense. you’re never sure what exactly we’re trying to do
must be the 1st time he's watched a Wizards game
this is how we play all the time
And it doesn't even look particularly bad tonight.....

If the Wizards can keep the energy up the shots will fall
not sure they’ll be able to do that though
Follow me on Twitter: @adamvolo
I figure this will happen
either Crawford and Young or both will shoot us out of it or the Bulls will just start pounding the boards and submit us that way but one of the 2 is likely.
Nah, I remember a 10+ game from him last yr
Not sure which one but it was there

funny though
b/c we need his scoring. everyone has been ripping him for not boarding and just shooting. tonight he’s boarding and not scoring. seems we need his scoring more than his boarding.
Uh oh
i think i just lip-read Rose sayin ‘Lets put em away fast’
Not really but i bet thats something close to it
Keys to keep Rose to 3 points in the 2nd Q? Simple, he only played 4 minutes haha

why does he back off, looking for the pick, and just concede the first move to Rose? He should get up on him and force him left or right

Because:
1) Chicago plays too good of defense to let a 20+ point lead slip
2) Wiz don’t nearly have the type of offense to come back from such a deficit

In the offseason we gotta run Blache, Nick and crawford off this team
I think the team will get better by subtraction then add a draft pick and a free agent and we’ll be better.
Because he isn't any good
He can’t shoot, he can pass but doesn’t have a passers mind set and he can’t defend a freaking chair

The game moves too fast for a lot of our players

Pretty much all of them
They’re indecisive
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
I think thats actually a good sign for him
he hasnt been shooting well, so i think he’s trying to think abt what to do. Unlike earlier in the year when it would just be a quick shot.
I think the game moves fine for Crawford, he just is a BBall IQ headcase
I see Mack getting stuck between pulling the trigger and passing all too often. I don’t mind playing him because I want to see him develop but he’s not where I had expected
Follow me on Twitter: @adamvolo
Looked that way all year
Brought him in to hit shots, hasn’t been hitting shots

Young and Crawford haven't given us enough to be in the game
5-21 FG for 11 points. Not even enough to pace Korver’s production (17 points).

Crawford and Young, our two most, uh, fearless scorers
are 9-30 tonight. I’m surprised we’re even this close.
3 offensive rebounds, great hustle by McGee and we get 0 points out of it
Than 3 more empty possesions because Nick twice and Jordan once settle for bad looks while Boozer converts at the other end.
It’s unbelievable how ineffecient our team is.

Refs were bad early and all throughout
But Wiz inability to make shots ultimately cost them.

Young and Crawford combined to shoot 35 times
any team that has 2 40% fg shooters shooting that much will never be that good ever.
gotta dumpo them both
Jeremy Lamb?
Though I will say, Nick Young played great defense and hit some big shots late. But yeah, they let this one get out of hand.

i just dont get where u get that from
Nick, OK. He’s a 5th year guy who doesnt get it. Craw shows flashes and is a sophomore and his contract is mad cheap.
Great effort.
Losing by 10 to the best East team is like a miracle.
Good effort - Chicago is just a much better team...
To only lose by 10 is surprising to me…
Booker with an excellent game, 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks
Young had a good game too, 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks
Both played very good defense.
John Wall with an OK game. 20 points, 6 assists (but he got torched by Rose)
McGee with a good game. 16 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks
I used to have super powers until my psychiatrist took them away.
I liked the small ball lineup there
someone remind me why Nick Young can’t play SF? Is it just lack of rebounding? Replace Crawford in that lineup with a SG who can actually shoot and pair them with Nick Young at SF.
This isn't an uncommon lineup
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
I'm thinking that Booker needs to start....
Wall, Young, Vesely, Booker, McGee for the next game…

The Good the bad the Ugly
Good
Wall 20 pts 6 assists
Mcgee 16,9,3 blks 2 stls
Booker 14,9,2blks 3 stls
Bad
Lewis 1-6
Ugly
Nick 17pts on 20 shots
Crawford 10 pts on 16 shots
Even though Lewis shot poorly
I put him in the good category. He was scrappy all game and I loved the effort

NY just can't win
He scores 21 efficient points last night, and everyone is on him for his lack of rebounds and assists. Tonight he gets 5 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks and people are on him for somewhat inefficient scoring, even though a couple of those shots were desperate 3’s at the end of the game.

Great overall effort. Some good defense esp in Q4.
but nobody shoots the ball well except for Booker.
My measure: If you score less points than how many shots you put up, that’s not efficient.
I think McGee needs to focus on defensive rebounds as well. 3 d.rebounds in 33 min! That’s not good enough. (I care less about that 6 o.rebounds).
