Wizards @ Warriors Game Thread 12/20/04

We need more defensive rebounding power which is why we got to trade for a good center like Curry who can score and rebound. BTW. Good game by JR

 

Man, your preview score was on point Pietrus. Too bad the teams were flip-flopped though.

Yeah I noticed that. Sucks we lost unlike the predicted preview

 

Hey Rudeezy, were they really giving out Alvin Attles retro jerseys to the first 5000 fans. I was thinking about going. Good game, cheap tickets and a jersey. But didn't have a ride.

Okay, you know they are going 1-4 and Pietrus gives Arenas the right and lets him get right to the rim? Make the dude hit a jumper, back off, anything. Damn. And right after they get the steal on the inbounds play, they settle for a JRich jumper with no one underneath the basket. Someday, the Warriors are going to learn how to execute at the end of the game, get a good shot.

They played great at the end and simply lost to 2 improbable Larry Hughes shots after some great D.

Okay. First off, that jumper after the steal was hardly a jumper. Second off, Pietrus is young and doesn't want to foul Arenas. (although that is the correct thing to do) Also, there were three mens hands that went up into the air after Arenas went up into the air. It wan't Pietrus' fault that no one could stop that lay up Arenas made. I mean his hand hooked over to the other side instead of going straight into where Warrior hands could have blocked that shot.

And. The last paragrpah you wrote, it doesn't make much sense. The Warriors know how to make end of the game shots, It's just the one by J-Rich in paticular, it didn't go in.

 

That was definately a bad defensive play by Pietrus AND Najera. Pietrus' first mistake was trying to guard Arenas past the 3 point line...make him shoot! Than once he got by pietrus, najera should have stepped in from the weakside and made arenas give it up to a perimeter player. Horrible team defense to lose the game.

Yeah that and the 11 offensive roebounds by Michael Ruffin really killed us

THanks rudeezy. I thought I heard Barnett say they would be giving them out.

It was actually a Verizon deal. You had to text message a number they gave us with an answer to a trivia question and they picked 50 out of those people to give jerseys away to.
