    Level of play is definitely rough, but for once I feel like we're actually seeing signs of progress from most of our players and from the team as a whole--signs of a brighter future ahead. Pre-trade we didn't have life and we were just floundering in losing efforts, not really building anything.

    10 point third quarter. Wow. That was one of the worst quarters I've seen out of these guys offensively.

    No more clown-first major figures on the team (that matter) getting major minutes. Of course the level of play is going to rise Now we got people getting minutes who give a ****, who have pride, who want to win first and foremost, grown ass men. And this is before we've got the player we traded for.

    I think its funny that some of you thought that since we won against a terrible new orleans team with our current lineup, and had a decent first half against atl means we are much better without ny and mcgee. Sorry, we still suck. I guess you will have to find another donkey on this team to pin the suck to. Blatche is still here, so hes always up for candidacy. Crawford could fill that roll as well if need be.

    We'll grind that axe, for a long time!

    Thomas Robinson continues to impress. This guy is a real NBA 4. Strong, has range, and rebounds well. No laundry lists of "if" related to his production. Lower ceiling though is what the scouts are saying.

    Barnes's line for tonight - 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block.

    Austin Rivers scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist in tonight's debacle for Duke

    Robinson is working on 14 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal so far. He's a rebounding machine.

    Here are some highlight cutups for Barnes:

    He takes an age to gather himself and get going.

    But on the whole, he looked better and more confident than he has in a while. That should change when they get back to DC.

    I think it's pretty clear the team has been playing much better than they were before the trade. The difference in the offense is night and day and Seraphin has been playing better defense than McGee did.

    Robinson can shoot and has range out to 3 point land. He's a rebounding machine. He's a very good athlete with an NBA body. He's got some dribble penetration ability and good finishing skills.

    Robinson was arguably the best player in NCAAMBB this year. Between him or Anthony Davis anyway. He's never really left me underwhelmed or disappointed watching him and every once in a while he makes me say wow. I think he's an above average PF in the NBA. A rich man's Terrence Jones. Probably about even with Derrick Williams from last year although he's stronger and has a better body.

    ---------- Post added March-17th-2012 at 12:01 AM ----------

    With MKG likely going back, I'd probably rank Robinson either 2 or 3 behind Davis and about even with Barnes. I think I'd rank him ahead of Sully--just as big and long but a significantly better athlete and a better rebounder.

    Robinson is a legit 6'9 - 6'10 PF with a 7'1 wingspan and he's shredded while still carrying a lot of bulk. He's got an NBA body for the position and he's a good athlete with a great motor.

    They were both playing great in my opinion. We just have piss poor production from the SG, SF, and PF spot. One night our SG will play well. The next 3 they wont. Oh.. and we make sure that we cant compete night in and night out by continuing with this 3 guard lineup. I always believed it should have been McGee with Booker, or McGee with Seraphin.

    Steve I'd agree with you about the team playing better if I hadn't watched the 2ndhalf of today's game. The 3rd was one I'd the worst offensive qtrs of basketball I've ever seen them play. 10 points. Plus was the defense that good? They gave up 50 points a half and got torched from the perimeter.

    Seraphins offense has been way better than I thought. His defense is overrated. He can defend his man but he does not defend the rim from anyone else. That makes him LOOK better than he's actually playing compared to other centers. Bring on Nene! (and tell the guards to pass it inside).

    Wall is still making too many mistakes on both sides of the court. Booker looked good. Vesely should have gotten more minutes.

    I wouldn't be surprised if McGee ends up being more replaceable than most people thought. Seraphin has more offensive skills than expected and he's already a much better low post defender than McGee was. And we haven't even seen how Nene fits in.

    The offense looks much, much better simply swapping NY for Mason. So glad he's gone. Mason can catch and shoot and thrive off the ball plus his shot selection is far better, he passes, and he doesn't stifle our offensive flow.

    And you know what? How mad can JaVale and NY be about getting traded? They're on playoff teams in the West now. This might have been a win for everyone involved except for Nene deal.

    How irreplaceable can a guy on a team that has won the second fewest games be? Thats not saying much. Im not thinking bout the self interests of mcgee or ny. I am thinking about the long term future of the washington franchise. Anyways... ive always disliked young, and wanted him gone 2-3 seasons ago.
