im just happy we're winning these games scoring almost 100 per game. this series and these playoffs in general are essentially an exhibit to attract a big name to DC. scratching out some 83-78 wins in a 7 game series would be :huhldup:

today went a long way in that respect

If we beat the Bulls, I think their defense is the best we'll see if we can get far..

The Pacers are a good defensive team but the Bulls IMO are better because they will bring it no matter who is on the court.

If we play the Nets again, we know how to attack them.

And if by some crazy chance we play Miami, we know their defense isn't the same esp since all they do is trap you on pick and rolls leaving Ariza or Beal wide open... plus Nene would give Bosh that work and we have Gortat to clean up the offensive glass. Ariza can make Bron work for his points as long as we keep protecting the ball not letting em get in transition.

It's going to be real interesting if we close this series out.

and we could very well just beat ourselves by coming out flat. we've seen this play out many times this year, we think we're over the hump and we're not

exactly, which is why I stay pretty pessimistic about this team

but they have impressed me in this series... I was expecting a lot of bad shots and turnovers

I think Washington makes the ECFs if they play Atlanta.

Indy, it's a toss up though.

Yeah, the problem with Indiana is that we haven't won there in forever it seems like. But they obviously are a different team now than the beginning of the year when they just murdered us twice by 25+ points. Beat them by 14 a couple weeks ago

The good thing is we matchup good with either ATL or IND.

I'm just glad we don't have to play CHA or TOR at all...unless something crazy happens where both the Raps and Wiz go to the ECFs :dead:

:noah: isn't a scorer. he put up 10 and 15. to me, that means he did his job. taj did the job of a few people today with him scoring that much and shooting over 80% from the field :salute:

everyone else gets the :pacspit:

ohh i know Noah isnt there for points, if he put up buckets that a bonus and a half. We expect points to come from Boozer the Loser and Wilted Rose...I am ready to bid for melo..I am selling my soul to the devil...get him in a Bulls uniform

I changed it back
What was it changed to?
I mean thibs got flaws but what coach in the league don't?
Randy Wittman :birdman:
The advanced stats say the Wizards offense and defense was better without Nene and the team is used to playing without him

When it's Gortat/Booker or Gortat/Stretch 4, Wall has a lot of room to operate, the floor is spread and he finds Ariza/Beal and they make plays.

But Nene's intangibles really were the difference in the first two games despite what stats say.

The good thing is that Nene complains about high minutes so keeping it at 24-28 minutes won't be an issue esp if Booker comes out with the energy and rebounding we need vs. Gibson

Gooden/Harrington will get abused if they get minutes next game. They'll be useful against Indiana if we make it to the 2nd round...
:snoop:
Here's some advanced stats. You talkin bullshyt, and you NEVER liked Booker. Chris Singleton is better than Booker, but I LOVE Booker
You hate all these ppl, Booker, Singleton, literally anyone not named Beal. Keep it real :ufdup:

Attracting a big name :what:
We have all the big names already. The question is will player be willing to sign at a discount to win a title
Wiz gonna accomplish something special this year. ECF the minimum, I've said this since preseason
I'm not afraid of Miami tho, we a deeper team. Wade's career is Kobe status, Bosh is about to be a guest on Ellen sooner than later. Long story short, DC Rising :mjpls:
