[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

how could you hate Campbell....he was a true professional and always played his ass off

Completely agree.

Addition by subtraction.

The first of many.....

Maybe they should cut down the nets.

It's good to see that they are still competing. Hopefully they show the same kind of effort against tougher competition.

I watched my first Wizards game of the night tonight.



















































You're welcome.

The same can be said about Brunell. I didn't hate them on a personal level (though Campbell did start to get annoying by the end). I hated them as quarterbacks. I hate Blatche as a player AND on a personal level. Hence him being the top seed in my hate bracket--easily.

ESPN's website must be messing up right now because it says we won 93-78. I'll check back later.

Good job guys.

John Wall 3-12, not so good. I like 9 assists though.

[No Excuses]

Wall was good tonight. This teams identity has to be good defense. The entire collection of talent has abysmal offensive skills but almost all of them project to be good to excellent defenders. They did that tonight.

I can't say good when a player takes 12 shots and scores 8 points. This team won on defensive effort and also a ton of scoring from the bench. 43 points to be exact. That's not going to happen every night and horrible inefficiency is a tough to overcome. We have too many players like that and it kills us.

I'm still waiting to see an offensive move from Wall that doesn't involve running hard at the basket.

He'll take an open jumper if they back off of him, but its clear he has next to no confidence in it.

His offensive game has a long way to go.

Nice to see him reduce the turnovers today though.

Nice win for the Wizz.
Saunders made some coaching moves that worked.
What he calls the defensive line-up should become the 'regular' line-up.
At one point in the game I swore I heard Buck say that Tor had 119(ish) turnovers and the Wiz had 0?
At some point I hope they try playing Wall off the ball more and spread the court out where he can try get his scoring going by taking his man to the hole.
Defense? What a novel concept.

Good win.
I want to eventually be able to take my family to a Wiz games without making them sit through some bad bad basketball.
If I look at the schedule closely I might be able to find a few games where that might happen this season.
I wasn't sure about that til this game.
