Barnes is a knucklehead. On the missed freethrow, he tipped Biedrins out of it and the Wiz got it and scored. He's GOT to be more aware. Damn, lol
Wiz got away with a lot of sh!t in that first half and that ref ejecting Jackson was plain stupid -- just a power trip. With that said, DAMN! the Warriors are making the Wizards look like champions with this flaky perimeter defense -- it's like a shooting drill lol.
23 of our 28 field goals have came from assists, now that's some ball movement. We've outrebounded the Warriors 23-12, and we're controlling this game right now. The Warriors though are looking like a team fighting for the 8th seed and we should look for them to keep the pressure up in the second half.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Wiz got away with a lot of sh!t in that first half and that ref ejecting Jackson was plain stupid -- just a power trip.</div> So did the warriors. In fact the officiating has seemed more bias towards the warriors. A lot of strange calls against both teams tonight though.
This has got to be the best game i seen so far. This is the type of game that you wish you could see in person.
Eddie Jordan is such a bad coach. How long will it take him to realize that you aren't going to beat the Warriors with freaking subs?
How long is Nelson going to realize that man to man defense got him in this game, not the zone offense for the other team...
This play it safe mode has lost us a 14 pt lead. Lets run our offense to get some easy buckets, even if it does not take up a lot of time...
What a game! I am so glad I stayed up to watch the end of this; it was so worth it! Big win. Unfortunately the Clippers also won and we play the red hot Lakers. But if the Hornets can play them close, so can we...
Now THAT's a home win. Once again, GS steps up when they need to. Baron just carries this team to victory, and Monta and JRch show some fire down the stretch. Whew!
Monster game by Baron, 34 pts, 9 reb, 15 ast, 4 stl on 10-16 FGs and 11-14 FTs. He willed us to win and closed out the game for us. J-Rich and Monta also stepped up and had huge games along with Andris who had 24 pts, 12 reb, 5 ast. W's shot 58% from the field, we're not going to lose too often when that happens. Oh and Gilbert is a horrible defender. Jesus, the guy has the tools to be a lockdown, all defensive team player but he just doesn't care about that side of the ball. Monta and Baron tore him up tonight, he helped to get Monta back into a rhythm a bit and get more confidence. Still wouldn't mind having him though .
Wow, look at the boxscore and check how much playing time Haywood and Blatche got. They barely played 2 minutes in the second half, before EJ sat them out for the rest of the game and played Songalia, consistently got raped in the ass by Biedrins. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Oh and Gilbert is a horrible defender.

How do you guys think you get all of those 3 pointers. All it takes to make this D fall on their knees is penetrate, get to the paint, draw out Darius Songalia that you call a "center" and hand it off to your big man. Blatche and Haywood were doing all the right things in the first half and it pisses me off how they weren't in the game while they kept getting all the rebounds and points in the paint.
Hey Will637 thanks for the game preview and objective thoughts Arenas is such an incredible player to watch..if he ever gets teamed with another dominant player - jamison's nice, but not dominant - I think the wiz will be odds on to go deep into the playoffs. That was an incredibly entertaining game! SJax continues to earn his rep as a knucklehead..hopefully no suspension follows tonight's events. I've really come to appreciate his game, but the guy just needs to shut his yap sometimes.... Monta continues to show his basket attacks have some sort of magical attraction to the bottom of the hoop. Baron continues to show the superstar's talent and will...he was totally gassed at the end and still delivered on both ends of the floor. Oh, and then there's Beans .. all-star level player within a couple years I tell ya! So many great things tonight, on both ends of the floor. I saw a number of plays where in the past he would have drawn fouls, but he simply made the offensive player change his plan and miss the shot.
I am ready to throw my TiVo out of the window. I was so stoked to come home and watch this game tonight, got home and found out it was not recorded. Why? A RERUN of Monk. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. FSN needs a midnight replay of Warrior games.
