Seattle @ Washington Thread

[ACW]

Should be an easy win tonight, but as we all know, with the Wizards there is rarely such a thing. And of course, we gotta stop Ray Allen (last season, in a 137-96 blowout @ Verizon, we only held him to 17).

[RedskinsNation]

I dont think there will be many "easy" wins now without one of our top guns. Watching that game on Saturday vs. the lakers was tuff. U could just tell we were struggling to get good looks and this team hasnt realized how to consistently score and get into rythym without AJ.

Replacing 20pts/8 rebs is tough. And AJ gives u that perimeter threat. I apoligize for thinking AJ wasnt a key to this team...sorry Antawn. :(

[Chachie]

Looking forward to getting home from work, getting WARM, and settling down to the game.

[MonkFan8]

I said before last game that Caron would have a big night and we'd win. Luckily I brought some wood with me this time. I'm pretty sure this will be a convincing win.

[SantanaClaus89]

Time to snap out of the funk tonight!

I'll be at the game rooting them on...

[DoGood28]

(last season, in a 137-96 blowout @ Verizon, we only held him to 17).

That was AWESOME. I LOVE blowouts and that game was ridiculous. I was watching on the big screen as I waited tables on a slow night at a crab shack.

[DoGood28]

And AJ gives u that perimeter threat. I apoligize for thinking AJ wasnt a key to this team...sorry Antawn. :(

Now THERE'S a man!:applause:

[SantanaClaus89]

Way to step up, I respect that. Now if only about 15 other people would follow suit....

Not only were Jamison's uncanny flip-shots a valuble asset, but when the defense collapsed on a driving Arenas or Butler, AJ was always wide open behind the arc for a "high percentage"' three... Now that AJ's gone, that role is being played by Jarvis Hayes, who missed like 4 in a row or something... I was there and it seemed like more... :doh:

[Warhead36]

There aren't many must wins in February. But this is a must win.

[RedskinsNation]

We need to grind out a win tonight because the Spurs are gonna be a tough draw come Wednesday....if we can take 2 outta 3 of these games against Sea, SA & Portland then i will take that.

We just need to weather the storm while the Captain is out.

LETS GO WIZARDS!!!

[WizSkinsO's]

Wizards game or Prison Break and 24? Damnit. Wizards games haven't been on Monday nights the whole season of 24, somehow.

Hopefully it's a blow-out and watching the first hour of the game and on commercials will be enough.

I still can't believe people were actually like happy when Jamison got hurt. He's such a huge part of this team.

We really need the short end of those 3-6 weeks he could be out.

[ACW]

Wizards game or Prison Break and 24? Well, I don't watch Prison Break, but DO watch 24 and CSI: Miami, so here's what I'm doing:

-watching the game (until ~9:30)
-DVRing 24 and CSI
9:30-11=seeing both of the above while FFing thru the commercials :cool:

[mboyd784]

Considering that the Bulls barely beat this team last time out, I think this will be a very tough game for us. Particularly if a "certain" player decides not to play within the framework of our team and, instead, conducts a "masonry" exhibition from 25+ feet. We will have to play well to win.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

**** a *****, I WILL be watching this one in it's entirety. GO WIZARDS!!!

[SantanaClaus89]

There is no such thing as other TV shows when there's a Wizards game on.

Ray Allen ------> http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n205/shalter20/myspace-codes-animations-20.gif <------ Gil
:laugh: I'll also be at the game tonight. Hopefully if Gil does that he won't be called for an offensive foul (hopefully they'll call it a blocking foul), lol. I would let Ray get his, but contain the others. Go Wiz!

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

There is no such thing as other TV shows when there's a Wizards game on.
Unless it's American Idol.






Psyche.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I think we need to focus on shutting Gary Payton down.

Also, we need someone down low to step up and put a body on Shawn Kemp. He's a big, phyiscal player and he can abuse us down low if we let him.

If we stop one or both of these guys, we can get a win.

[skinsngibbs4life]

wizards always seem to play down to there opponent, this one has me a little worried.

[PCRoughrider]

This is a nice "small stage" game that the Wizards should do very well in.

[MF Doom]

Lets get this one before the game against the Spurs which will be tough. Oh, and kind of a random thought, but check out the Gilbert shirt I just bought yesterday-Gilbert Arenas Shirt (http://motheringhut.com/) Its the one with his face on it. Also, I bought the Cowboys Star logo shirt with the Arrow in it. Anyhow, GO WIZ.
Also, ES needs a wizards related smiley.

[WizSkinsO's]

There is no such thing as other TV shows when there's a Wizards game on.
I wish. There's no such thing as life when 24's on.

Seriously, it's worth skipping one Wiz game to watch 24, esp. if its not a very close game and you'll be fine watching at commercials.

Prison Break I would def. skip for a Zards game, but 24's a different story. If you haven't watched it before, you've lived an unfulfilled life.

Check it out tonight. It's only the 7th episode of the season so far and you should be able to figure out what's going on by reading the summary on Wikipedia or just catching the "previously on 24" bit. There's 2 hours next week so you don't want to miss it.

I'll be going to the Spurs game on Wed. to cheer us on though and I hope I get lucky enough to see the end if its close on commercials, but I'd prefer a blowout.

[hands11]

:laugh: I'll also be at the game tonight. Hopefully if Gil does that he won't be called for an offensive foul (hopefully they'll call it a blocking foul), lol. I would let Ray get his, but contain the others. Go Wiz!

Ill be there a little late but Ill be there. I think 206.

We should do better then last game since they will be starting the same line up for the second time. I'm hope Hayes got a talking to. He was just stupid last game with all those quick 3 shots. If EJ is any coach at all he told him he wants him driving more and not just throw it up every time he touches it or he will be riding the bench.

Also, Blatche got valuable PT last game which takes him another step. He hit 2x 3s, one didn't count because an illegal D was called. Sag will be in his second game, so I'm sure every game he help him be more productive.

Lets face it, we didn't invest enough in anything past 3 players so now we have to pay the price. It could take 5-10 games for them to come around and look smooth but we can win some while they are learning.

twenty-four is a total SNOOZEFEST

Sorry dude, I have enough addictions. I don't need 24 on top of it all.;)

But seriously, I don't watch ANY plot-thick shows because If you miss an episode you're in trouble. I did watch every episode of Prison Break the first season and this year I have watched almost every Heroes. But I'll lose my interest after a while.

[twenty-eight]

i guess u dont know jack then:laugh:

I despise that show

This is a Wizards board. More specifically a game thread. Take the 24 ramblings and TV viewing habit to the Opera board.

I'm looking forward to watching Wilcox play, it been a while. I really want to see Jarvis have a big night. We should win tonight

[GOSKINS_08]

We should win this one, but Ray Allen could go off..And Collison has been playing pretty good for them..But we should win..Go Wizards!!

Great site! I bought 5 of those "bleeding star" shirts as gifts for friends and family and got a "Carons' Tough Juice" shirt for myself.:notworthy

[GOSKINS_08]

Alot of people were hating on Gilbert after the last game, so lets hope Gilbert shuts all those people or "fans":doh: up

Indeed.

I think Sulley will win it. He should have been gone last week but that just shows the Serch and the other judge like him. Save for last week though I normally like what he does as well so I can't blame them. Persia has a shot too. John Brown is an idiot.

Mr. Boston all the way.

[mboyd784]

Gonna go with the reverse jinx on this one.

Sonics - 112
Wiz - 99

Ray Allen just too much!

[thelarkascend1ng]

this team knows what they have to do without jamison for the next month, they just have to use this game to show that they can actually do it.

[RedskinsFan06]

Redskins>Wizards(maybe)>Prison Break>24

With emphasis on Redskins.

[Capt'n Obvious]

Offense looking good early.

[B.Lloyd]

we've gotta win this one by atleast 10

[RedskinsFan06]

Arenas may've missed but at least it was a good shot unlike Saturday.

[LILShiraz]

Jarvis sucks. he always looks for his own shots, and never makes them.

[RedskinsFan06]

Mature play by Arenas, knowing he is the man at the end of the quarter and he dishes it to DeShawn.

[skinsfan07]

I guess Gilbert beating Deshawn one handed really did help his confidence. LOL

[mboyd784]

Stevenson. Extension. Now!

and EJ is just throwing stuff against the wall, line-up wise, to start the 2nd.

[CMonster]

Please let Blatche play 20 minutes per game.

Pretty please.

[CMonster]

Well, foul trouble will prevent that I guess.....

But he has to learn.

[skinsfan07]

stands look a bit empty today.

[Warhead36]

Blatche > Hayes so much it ain't even funny.

[skinsfan07]

Theres always one player, in this game Ridenour who fries the wiz.

[skinsfan07]

Time for the starters to come back in EJ. ASAP. We need to break this open with Arenas, Butler and Haywood in the game.

[Capt'n Obvious]

Ok, I think our starters are rested enough.

[mboyd784]

Is it safe to say that Donnell Taylor is a bit of a defensive liability?

[fdarugar]

Jarvis Hayes is garbage.

[skinsfan07]

How'd Gil miss 2?

[sportsfan882]

Arenas, please get your act together quickly!!

[skinsfan07]

Good Haywood back in. WE need to step up the D on Ray.

[skinfan2k]

68% from the field.. what horrible defense

[mboyd784]

Sonics shooting 68% for the game, 85% for the quarter. I dont know whether to laugh or cry!

[skinsfan07]

Who the F*** are the F***ING Sonics to shoot 68 % on us????????????

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Diablo23]

Damn you Jamison you are hurting us on defense!!!

[skinfan2k]

ray allen just schooled caron..

[ACW]

Skinsfan07-I think this game it's Ray Allen.

[RedskinsFan06]

What is Arenas doing? Seriously, look for the open man.

[ACW]

Geez, FREE THROW SHOOTING PEOPLE! :doh:

[mboyd784]

Change your shoes at the half Gil.

[sportsfan882]

I wanna see everyone defend Gil again. He is hurting us more than helping us with his play lately.

[RedskinsFan06]

Arenas, you wuss! Shoot it from 30! Seriously, the sad part is that is more likely to go in.

[skinfan2k]

gil always tries to look for a foul when he takes it to the basket and not take it up strong like the kobe, leborn, and wade

[skinsfan07]

Damnit. Wiz should be winning.

Oh well, hopefully they can come back in the 2nd half!

59-56 Sonics lead.

[RedskinsFan06]

gil always tries to look for a foul when he takes it to the basket and not take it up strong like the kobe, leborn, and wade

I know, it's getting annoying, be a man and go for the score not foul.

[GOSKINS_08]

We need to play better defense, well really on Allen and control the paint and we'll be fine..

[skinsfan07]

I wanna see everyone defend Gil again. He is hurting us more than helping us with his play lately.

Just b/c he is always trying to score near the end of the quarter doesn't mean he is hurting us....

He's the 2nd leading scorer in the league for a reason.

[skinfan2k]

I know, it's getting annoying, be a man and go for the score not foul.

thats one of the big reasons that gil cant be considered a top 5 player in the league.. his shot selection is not what you like to be and alot of his assists are on the fast break and not in the offensive sets

[GOSKINS_08]

Arenas, you wuss! Shoot it from 30! Seriously, the sad part is that is more likely to go in.

These are the "fans" I refered to earlier.:doh:

Yeah I mean its hard to defend a guy who average 30 a game and hits all the clutch shots for us.

[RedskinsFan06]

This is called sarcasm. Welcome to life buddy.:doh:

Dude, that is so pathetic. Just because you criticize your team's best player after a bad game, they are all of a sudden not "fans". Grow up:doh:. By the way, I was defending him that night.

[twenty-eight]

These are the "fans" I refered to earlier.:doh:

Just ignore them.

[TheREALJBird]

thats one of the big reasons that gil cant be considered a top 5 player in the league.. his shot selection is not what you like to be and alot of his assists are on the fast break and not in the offensive sets

Here's a thought, why don't you just create a heat vs. bobcats thread and sit in there alone. You don't know what you're talkin about here, just stay on shaq's nuts



Wiz gotta tighten up in the 2nd half and contain Allen. Sonics shot way too high of a fg%

[GOSKINS_08]

Just ignore them.

Well it does seem like after the 2 game losing streak all the "other fans" have left lol..


Dude, that is so pathetic. Just because you criticize your team's best player after a bad game, they are all of a sudden not "fans". Grow up:doh:. By the way, I was defending him that night.

No you critize whenever he does something wrong all the time, and was it you who called him a wuss?

[sportsfan882]

Just b/c he is always trying to score near the end of the quarter doesn't mean he is hurting us....

He's the 2nd leading scorer in the league for a reason.
:doh: Have you watched this game (or for any game over the past few weeks)? He is a turnover machine and lately he has a tendency to jack up shot after shot after shot. He has been missing FTs in this game and his defense is awful as usual. This has nothing to do with him jacking up shots and layups near the end of quarters.

[skinsfan07]

HAHAHAHA Everybody Hates Chris is soooooooo funny right now!

Everyone tune in go to the CW channel 50!

Bull#$@!. Who do you think I am, Mad4Comp? I don't criticize, him after everything he does and if I do criticize him, it is like "oh darn, come on Gil", not "YOU SUCK!".

Oh and the wuss comment, was a......JOKE...as in SARCASM:doh:. Again, welcome to life. Check the latest game threads and find a specific play where I actually criticized him without being sarcastic.

Suck iy up and admit Arenas hasn't been playing too well lately and real fans will take note of it. I mean sportsfan882 doesn't actually hate Arenas, come on you know that.

[twenty-eight]

HAHAHAHA Everybody Hates Chris is soooooooo funny right now!

tivo!! That show is hit or miss...

[skinsfan07]

:doh: have you forgoten all the good Arenas has done the whole season..:rolleyes: some people.:doh:

I know right. He totally forgot what he has done, and just always talks about the bad he is doing.
Give the man some credit. He is clearly a top 10 player and has the ability to change a game whenever he gets hot.

[twenty-eight]

We dont lose because of one person...

[skinfan2k]

Here's a thought, why don't you just create a heat vs. bobcats thread and sit in there alone. You don't know what you're talkin about here, just stay on shaq's nuts

I dont have time to go through all the game threads..Where is mad4comp by the way? Im sure he is happy as hell that we've lost 2 in a row.

[sportsfan882]

:doh: have you forgoten all the good Arenas has done the whole season..:rolleyes: some people.:doh:
You are ridiculous.
I am not talking about the rest of the season. I am talking about since the beginning of the year or so. He has played well below what he is capable of doing. His shot selection needs major work, his defense needs improvement, and he needs to be more consistent. He is no longer an MVP candidate until he fixes those things. I am not taking away from what he has done all season, I am just stating that he has killed us lately and needs to get it back together.

[RedskinsFan06]

typical cant handle critcism .. following the game on gamecast budyy:doh:

Yeah seriously. This is getting to be like the Stadium threads with the wuss

"you're not a real fan" crap. There are glass half empty and full glass, criticizing your team does't mean you aren't a "REAL" fan.

[twenty-eight]

typical cant handle critcism .. following the game on gamecast budyy:doh:

I could shoot down every single point you've made...I just dont feel like it. Please proceed with the moronic statments.

[GOSKINS_08]

I dont have time to respond to you clowns..Im going to watch the 2nd half.

[thelarkascend1ng]

i hope we come out strong in the second half

[twenty-eight]

We need to get into rhythm on offense. And someone put a hand in Wilkins Face!

[skinfan2k]

great.. who cares really , u must feel like a king.. defend arenas shot selection, his inituation of the offense and lack of defense

[twenty-eight]

:king: here


Our entire team has been settling for jump shots and not attacking the basket.

[RedskinsFan06]

OMG! Arenas, stay away from Hayes in practice!


Edit - I mean, nice try Gil!

(Gotta make sure I'm a REAL fan):rolleyes:

[sportsfan882]

Keep jacking Gil, keep jacking. He's pathetic.

[mboyd784]

Geez, Gil. We're just gonna have to let him shoot his way outta this.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Damn we suck.

We just look so flat.

[ACW]

This is embarrassing.

[twenty-eight]

What a bad loss this would be

[GOSKINS_08]

Nobody can hit a ****ing shot.

[GOSKINS_08]

Trade Jamison!! Oh wait nevermind..Man we need Jamison

[RedskinsFan06]

Nobody can hit a ****ing shot.

Yea, and Arenas is 2/10, that's a problem.

[twenty-eight]

Nobody can hit a ****ing shot.

Well if Gil would just get an assist in the half court set instead of on the fast break we would be fine

[thelarkascend1ng]

down 10. wow.

[mboyd784]

Damn we suck.

We just look so flat.

Maybe kinda like those Sixer teams from a couple years back? Ya know the ones that Iverson/Mr. 6 of 25 played on.

Edit: BTW, this team is on a FOURTEEN game road losing streak!!

[twenty-eight]

feed tough juice.

YEAH BRENDAN

[skinfan2k]

Well if Gil would just get an assist in the half court set instead of on the fast break we would be fine

did i just not say this? :laugh:

[GOSKINS_08]

Nice pass by Arenas to Haywood!

[twenty-eight]

Maybe kinda like those Sixer teams from a couple years back? Ya know the ones that Iverson/Mr. 6 of 25 played on.

Thats what Gil's performance against the Lakers reminded me of, but Gil did fill the stat sheet

[twenty-eight]

did i just not say this? :laugh:

:doh: I was mocking you, genius

[ACW]

Finally, now THEY'RE missing their shots.

[sportsfan882]

Wood OWNS.....

[twenty-eight]

bull****!!!!

[skinfan2k]

:doh: I was mocking you, genius


bull****, u know its the truth.. if gil could start the offense to a lesser extent than nash, honestly arenas would be the best guard in the league

[twenty-eight]

bull****, u know its the truth.. if gil could start the offense to a lesser extent than nash, honestly arenas would be the best guard in the league

because nash and suns are a half court team, right?

[twenty-eight]

WOOOOOOOOO. lets go wiz

[skinfan2k]

because nash and suns are a half court team, right?

most of his assists are in the halfcourt with high pick and rolls, high screen and penetration

[mboyd784]

Ya know, Cal Booth has a pretty nice game.

edit - Get Hot Gil!

[skinfan2k]

look at the efficient ball movement now.. quick passing and sonics cant keep up

[GOSKINS_08]

Arenas had a big 3!! And a great pass to Butler!

EDIT: And a great pass to Stevenson for a dunk!

[GOSKINS_08]

And Haywood is playing great..17 points!?

[RedskinsFan06]

Nice assist, Gil.

[mboyd784]

Blatche and Booth making plays...That's what it's gonna take!

[Capt'n Obvious]

Hell YEAH!

[Wizards and Redskins]

GREAT way to end the 3rd Caron! :applause: :applause: :applause:

[twenty-eight]

GREAT end to the third

[Spaceman Spiff]

Maybe thats what we need.

Tuff jooce with a big game

[MonkFan8]

Man I want to see this game! Stinking gamecast. Looks like Blatche is playing well.

[RedskinsFan06]

Caroooooooooooooon BUTLA!

[sportsfan882]

Butler is amazing. By far the most consistent player on this team.

[GOSKINS_08]

Nice plays by Blatche and Bulter there!! Arenas has 8 assists BTW

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Oh ye of little faith. The Wizards win games like these this year. You should know that by now.

[twenty-eight]

It's so clear to see what Blatche's strengths are and what he needs to work on. He just needs PT and experince

[thelarkascend1ng]

there's something so satisfying about seeing 79-88 on the nba.com gamecast in like a 1 minute span when before it said it was a 3 point game.

:)

[twenty-eight]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO andraY!!!!!!!!!!!

[ACW]

That was a BEAUTIFUL 5 pts.

[Capt'n Obvious]

Holy ****!

Nice play Blatche!

[twenty-eight]

12 points on 5-5 for andray

[Wizards and Redskins]

Yea ARENAS!!!

[Spaceman Spiff]

blatche!!!

[twenty-eight]

wow calvin. he's playing so well

[ACW]

Man, both Booth AND Blatche are playing well.

[skinfan2k]

wow calvin. he's playing so well

thats why hes my favorite player on the wiz :silly:

[sportsfan882]

Blatche is having a hell of a game. His best as a Wiz for sure.

[sportsfan882]

Haywood is a BEAST

[GOSKINS_08]

Nice defense! Blocks by Haywood, Blatche and Booth! We need to start Blatche over Hayes against the spurs.

[kevin11]

lol, Blatche isn't ready for PT...haha
We are starting to pull away..:)

[DoGood28]

Can we play like this forever please? I would be one happy fan.:)

Looks like Blatche has turned the corner doesn't it guys? Looks like he is more confident and comfortable than ever. Eddie Jordan will now keep a spot for Andray in his lineup.

HOORAY!

[RedskinsFan06]

Forget what we ever said about Haywood being worse than Etan.

kind of....he's still making a great play and following it with a rookie mistake. If he just stays out of foul trouble EJ will give him his minutes

[ACW]

Even though SEA sucks, this is now the type of game I like to see:

-Decent D
-Contributions from our "lesser" players (Blatche and Booth); with several in double figures
-Arenas one assist from a double-double

[twenty-eight]

Yeah Brendan needs one board to get a doubledouble

[B.Lloyd]

When we were down by 12 I started watching the NFL Films '92 Superbowl with the Skins and Bills I DVR'd yesterday because I was pissed with how we were playing. The minute it's over we are up by 9 after Caron scored 5 pts. in 4 seconds...I don't believe it

[twenty-eight]

good hustle dray

ray allen 1 for his last 11

Sorry to be so blunt but it serves you right...

[twenty-eight]

TOUGH JUICE


woooo

[DoGood28]

My how the tables have turned. Now we're the hot shooters.

[thelarkascend1ng]

this is sooo wizards

come out flat and have me wanting to throw my computer out the window and then blow up for like 40 points in a quarter

caron is going to have like 40 if he keeps this up

[mboyd784]

Tough Juice Yall. Believe it!

[twenty-eight]

forget it:(

[ACW]

Caron w/ new career-high! :) :)

[RedskinsFan06]

28-19, victory is sweeeeeeeeeet.

[ACW]

Nice win :)

[twenty-eight]

Way to fight back

[Diablo23]

woot, big games from Butler, Haywood and Blatche

[sportsfan882]

Good Win Wizards. Butler proved again why he is an ALL STAR. Wood and Blatche had great games as well.

[mboyd784]

Let's drink one for Booth. :cheers:

[DoGood28]

We got SO MANY points in the paint.

DeShawn had a really good game too. As did Booth.

[roadkill]

I absolutely LOVE DS, wood, tough juice, and dray's stat lines :applause:

EDIT: Booth had a good game too (and somehow lit a fire under our asses)

[Winslowalrob]

Oh lord, I just looked at the box score and I nearly died from shock. Obviously Seattle is a TERRIBLE road team, but we crushed a team we were supposed to crush (which, lets face it, almost never happens) and EJs lineup worked (which, of course, half of you will argue against). From the looks of the stats, Gibby stepped back and let the role players step up (an excellent move on his part), but could you guys tell me what happened because I could not watch the game?

[Chachie]

I watched the game on the couch tonight but I've read the last few pages of this thread. I'm loving the vibe. :)
Andray and Calvin were awesome tonight. We JUSThad a conversation in another thread last night about how we have no bench and then a game like this happens. Good win, great bench performance. Caron with 38 freaking points. Gilbert's not even the story tonight! WTF is up with THAT? :)


:applause: :notworthy :applause:

[triple6mafia]

it was a good win for the wiz especially with gil having an off shooting night

[Chachie]

Tight game in the first half. We were playing zero defense again and seattle went up by like 6-8. Opened the 3rd, went down by 12. Then we went on a 30-9 run and took over the game. Seattle made a late push but it was too late.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Blatche stepped up...so did Booth.

[skinsfan07]

Nice run to end the game. Nice to see the big players as well as role players step up when needed. Great home win today. Good for confidence (Blatche, Booth, etc) also.

[hands11]

That's right baby. That was me in section 206 telling EJ to put Blatche in and then cheering him on to a career game.


Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatchheeeee

[skinsfan07]

Saaaaaaaweet!!!!!!!!

[hands11]

Now is it more clear why I said we need to invest minutes in this kid. Sure he made that one stupid pass, but with every minute on the court his talent comes out more.

Also, we were done at halftime but it was DEFENSE that turned the game around and Blatche had a lot to do with that.

[Warhead36]

Andray Blatche definitely earned the starting PF job tonight. I LOVED the shot blocking machine we had out there with him and Haywood clogging up the paint. Yeah I know it's only the Sonics but this team was in dire need of a confidence boost.

Going up against the Spurs we HAVE to play Blatche and Haywood a lot or Duncan will eat us up alive.

[SantanaClaus89]

Just got back from the game...

I was reppin' in section 109 with my Arenas orange Bullets throwback with the matching hat...

Great games from Butler and Haywood..... and oh, man ANDRE! Keep playin' like that my man, PLEASE!

[MonkFan8]

I hope this team prepares mentally and brings it for the Spurs game. Can't have a Lakers/Suns performance out there Wednesday. Haywood, Blatche, Butler, Arenas, Stevenson, sounds better and better every day.

[PapaDRoc]

That front court with Haywood and Blatche was pretty nasty. Remember that they played Seatlle tonight, but hey I will take that over what we have seen in the Toronto and L.A. games.

Go Wiz! And keep it up Blatche and Haywood!

[argentina_redskins]

Great win that puts us right back in the fight for the 1st place in the East after the 2 straight losses.

Brandon Haywood showed today why he is the undisputed starter with his double-double.

Caron Butler showed why he is he #2 guy and can step up any night Gil is not playing at his 100%. Even though Arenas didn't have a great night, he still had 9 assists which shows how much value he puts in the rest of the team.

Andray Blatche we are all hoping this wasn't a fluke and you keep up with the magnificent showing you had today. If you keep playing like this you might get 1 start before the season's over!!

GREAT WIN and hope to see everyone at Verizon on Wednesday!!

[arenasisgod]

The Killer B's! BLATCHE, BOOTH, BRENDAN, AND BUTLER

[GOSKINS_08]

Nice win! and we had very balance scoring and we played very good defense in the 2nd half..I think we need to start Blatche against the spurs, Hayes just cant get anything going..But nice win and great comeback!

[arenasisgod]

I loved the way Eddie sent Booth in the third to run the Princeton. He stood on the corner, looked over the smaller defenders, waited for cutters and hit them running to the basket for the layups. Blatche's development was lovely, especially considering how he swats shots, and gets great position for offensive boards. Loved how he switched on the baseline to cut off Ray Allen's drive, causing a Butler steal. Gilbert seemed to be deliberate in spreading the ball around and not gunning (also the refs not giving him any love didn't help). Haywood was a MONSTER!

[Mooka]

Had to work tonight, missed the game.

The stats are looking very promising. Brendan 36mins, 9 FG's and 12 FT's? Were we feeding him down low?

[jive_crankin]

I thought Haywood played a real good game last night. If he keeps up the consistancy the team will continue to do big things.

[r2k64]

Agreed. I really liked the PT Blatche got last night. He played real well. Booth played well in his minutes. Good games from the supporting cast last night and a great efficient offensive game last night by Caron.

[twenty-eight]

Not really, he was just doing more with his opportunities. Killing it on the glass, seattle is kinda small and I will NEVER refer to him as "Brenda" again.

[XxSpearheadxX]

I will NEVER refer to him as "Brenda" again.

I heard that, I've given him my heart again as a fan, I trust this new Brendan.

Do it up slim! Harvey Grant for President!

[arenasisgod]

I think we can trace brendan's continued production to his willingness to keep the ball in the air on his putbacks. Remember how he used to put it back on the floor trying to post, causing the inevitable turnover? He now gets the ball in the air, bunny hops and puts in back in. Definitely not as sexy of a basket, but it works magnificently. Looks like 'dray is reaping in the rewards of that style as well, which is the result of GREAT COACHING.

Once again, everyone say it with me - HARVEY GRANT FOR PRESIDENT!

What did you think of that old dude on the monster cam doing the sprinkler dance? That dude was nuts. The crowd loved it.

[hands11]

Alrighty then. I love it. People getting on the Hands11 band wagon.

Im considering getting tickets for the rest of the season so I can yell at EJ so more. I was like.... Eddie... PUT IN BLATCHE.....

But seriously, it was so quit a lot of times and I was on the side of the court the 2nd hand offense was playing on so all the FT when its quite and they are just standing there. I was yelling, Blaaaaatchheeee.

I swear he turned and looked up in the stands several times. I hope yelling his name a bunch helped him know he has fans pulling for him. And I cant prove it, but I hope it helped give him some confidence that he can go play his game. Hey, if cheering didn't help, there wouldn't be a home court advantage so I have to believe it helped.

Anyone that goes to a game. Don't be afraid of what other people think around you. Most just sit on their hands. Just yell his name when its quite enough for him to here you. Cheer the kid on. I really think he is going to be a huge star here. And dare I say, this team could be build around a talent like that. That's right. I said it. He could one day be the star of this team. 6-11 baby Garnet. Blattttttche.

Did you see that sweet under the hoop reverse. That was smooth as butter.

Hell, I even was on the radio for the post game on 980. That was me, Chuck... The second caller. :D

Hell, you know what I said. Same thing I say here over and over.

EG rocks. Stay the course. No trades. Gil, Caron and AJ play way to many minutes. Blatche is the real deal play him more. He should have been playing more a while ago. Invest in him. Invest in the future. Defense is what's going to take up to the next level, and Blatche can help us there.

Sound familiar?
