Dixon on IR, post game remarks

[hands11]

Dixon out another 2 weeks.

Blake still looks a little out of sync. Can you believe he took that 3 with like 12 sec left on the clock and EJ yelling, run out the clock.

Etan is still below his numbers so we should be able to get a little more out of him. He averaged like 8 pts last year.
His D is looking nicer with the blocks.

I think Jefferies can grab some more board then he is. I remember this was what he was great at. I dont see that from him so much this year.

Jamison loves having another big man on the court. Thats his game right there. Adding Etan and Kwame is going to help Jamison a lot.

My man Ruffin. 12MIN 3 fouls. Got to love him. I like him with the blocks and dunks. Nice role player.

Well, its all up from here.

Hughes is going to change this whole team.
Blake is coming around.
Dixon in 2 week for the bench spark
Kwame is back and ran well.
Etan is over the hump and playing good D. Did you see that dunk attempt. Nice aggressive move.

Hayes can rest his hand in a little while if he needs.
Jefferies. He has fallen out of focus. Time for him to show his face again. He can step up his defense and offense.

We are gelling and have a ton of upside to go. Should be exciting.

13-2 in March.

I couldn't believe it when the announcers were saying Jordan was screaming not to take that shot. I couldn't believe anybody could be left so open at the three point line who has ever hit a 3 in his career. I would have been annoyed if he hadn't taken the shot. At some point, you have to have a killer instinct. Yeah, it gives the other team another shot, but you should have faith that you can hit a wide open shot. It's not even like there was anybody running towards him. And if you make the three (which he did), it's not like the other team is going to go the other way and score more than we just did.

Despite Blake looking out of sync at times, plays like his pass to Jamison on the break show the benefit of having another pure passer out there with Arenas. I think that's what I've missed most watching the Wizards without LH. When he was in there, having two guys who can play the point, we seemed to pass much better and get more open looks. I'm not sure how much of last night was our passing and how much was their bad D, but our O looked a lot smoother.

Blake is a natural passer. He's a poor mans(I mean REALLY poor)mans Jason Kidd. Just don't let him shoot. That 3 at the buzzer(or near buzzer)was nice though.

Our best offense is our defense. We were running it up once we got those steals. And who lead the league in steals again before his injury? Hmmmmm.

I think Blake is a fine shooter. He was hot late last year and has been injured this year. Give him a few more games to get it back. He will be over 40% before the year is out.

Hey Dixon started the year kind of cold before he caught fire.

Blake brought his average up to 38% by the end of last year.
He will get that number up again.

Hes only 18-55 .327 %

If he goes just 5-5 next game he would be

23-60 .43%

Give him a chance to get his head and legs back in the game.

This is only his second year, and he got hurt over the summer.

I thought he had like 30 points in the first game of the season againts memphis. Thats a pretty good start if you ask me :)

Right, one game. It didnt last.

Dixon can put up 30 when he gets minutes like he did in that first game, but I'm more impressed with how he's learned to put up good numbers on less minutes.
