I can't honestly believe the wizards tried at all that game, we were playing no starters in the last couple of minutes, kinda upset me was hoping for a bit more pre-season action, I was listenin to it due to no televisation. What else can ya expect from pre-season I guess.

What else can ya expect from pre-season I guess</div>lol no no my topic was first! u cheap bastard lol u cudda replied to minegive me a break Arenas got 29 points and 29 minutes....dont use that as an excuse, while Bosh got 14 points at 26 points and he wasnt even involved in the offense.
Let me start out by saying this for the Wizards.1st unit plays in the 1st quarter, score is 28-14, Wizards2nd unit plays in the 2nd quarter, score is 49-44, Raptors1st Unit plays in the 3rd quarter, score is 70-68, Wizards2nd Unit plays in the 4th quarter, score is 93-88, Raptors (Hayes looked like Kobe in the 4th quarter, kept them in the game).Well, I'm back from the game and it was a pretty good one. I was impressed with the first unit of how they turned up the tempo once the rebound was grabbed, creating fastbreaks, free throw opportunities, and back door cuts. Gilbert was Gilbert, his three point shot was impressive as he scored 29 points in 29 minutes (He didn't play the fourth quarter). Caron Butler was great on defense creating turnovers by tipping a lot of passes, getting some steals and rebounding. Antawn Jamison's shot is still silky smooth, but his post defense is still lagging. He got beat on several occasions by Chris Bosh. The new guy DeShawn Stevenson had a decent game making the best out of his opportunities. So basically, this lineup is going to be one that you can't sleep on and you'll have to be aware on every play as they have the ability to pass forever.While the 1st unit was able to create a 28-14 in the 1st quarter, the 2nd unit wasn't able to keep it. On 1 point, they had commited 4 straight turnoevers from just careless passing. You'll see that they weren't able to create a tempo on offense like the 1st unit was able to do, so they resorted to 2 on 2 plays. Jarvis Hayes looked like Kobe Bryant in the 4th quarter. He was just making every shot he was gunning for, which kept the team in the game and that's something that we should all be looking for this season. What got us the loss near the end was the presence of Jose Garbajosa shooting 3-7 in 3-point land including 1 that gave them the 91-88 lead.
