Will's Prediction Record: 3-3 (Last: Wizards over Nets 119-108)
Knicks win in a blowout 102-82. The Wizards were forcing up too many bad shots. I understand they hit those a lot, but I guess today wasn't their night. Not enough ball movement as they just had 10 assists and 17 turnovers. Also, the Knicks were killing them on the board and second chance opportunities. New York outrebounded Washington 52 to 39. You don't win road games getting murdered on the boards like that. What's also interesting is the Wizards shot 40 free throws on the road and made 36 of them (90%) and still got blown out.
Man, I'm pretty pissed about this loss. Renaldo Balkman and David Lee owned in the paint, it wasn't even funny. The Wizards couldn't get anything going in the second half keeping themselves in the game with all of those free throw attempts. I guess Eddie Jordan didn't try to push the momentum up against this team, took it slow and ran the princeton offense. We're first in the league when it comes to turnovers a game with about probably 13 right now, but tonight's performance was very sloppy. Just hope they can rebound against the Pistons, since they can't afford to go under .500 at the end of this road swing.
