The Official Washington Wizards Thread

We do better against playoff teams. Its the bottom barrel squads that give us the most trouble for some reason.

Playoffs are still an extreme long shot

Yeah I don't think we can make it without something big happening like ripping off another 7 or 8 game winning streak.

Milwaukee has been pretty awful lately and they are currently in the 8 spot. Toronto has been on a tear as of late, but if they cool off and we stay hot, playoffs aren't out of the question for this team. Up until this point, 33/54 of our opponents were playoff teams; the rest of the way we only see 13/28 playoff team. No likely, but if we can start winning on the road, we could sneak into the 8 spot.

They are 9 games out of the 8th seed with 28 games left. They would probably need to get to 35 or 36 wins at a minimum while the 5 teams in front of them cratered. That means going 20-8 the rest of the way while the Bucks go 8-20.

Bucks going 8-20 is very realistic...I'm not sure if we can get to 20-8 though. I see us going more like 18-10.

tonight is a perfect way to start the playoff run, beating an EC like Toronto that is ahead of them

A little less than a week ago, Wall played the Raptors and had arguably the worst game of his career. Expecting a big game from him tonight.

DIDN'T MAKE TRADES/THEY'RE JUST FINE

L.A. CLIPPERS: The Clips stood pat, but not by their basketball people's choice. L.A. and Washington had a done deal Wednesday night that would have sent forward Trevor Ariza to the Clippers in exchange for Caron Butler. giving L.A. a long, defensive-oriented body to throw at the likes of Kevin Durant in the playoffs. (Butler, who still has an offseason home in the D.C. area, and who was loved by the locals, didn't have a problem returning to a non-Arenas Wizards locker room. He'd have been welcomed back as a much-needed offensive option, according to sources.)

But sources indicated that Clippers owner Donald Sterling nixed the deal Thursday morning, not wanting to gamble on the team's chemistry being affected in any way down the stretch.

I really don't like the Raptors. Idk what it is.

[Destino]

Nene with a nightmare start to this game. Horrible.

[Fight4RGIII]

Rack up some fouls on that Valinchunsusususdfdsg dude. He seems annoying to deal with.

[StillUnknown]

Hot damn this is some ugly basketball by both teams.

[Fight4RGIII]

I swear basketballs in Canada must be different. A bunch of oiled up basketballs

[StillUnknown]

Why didn't Okafor dunk that ball? Instead he misses an easy one close trying to go glass.

Not much in between with this squad, we're either really ugly or really good.

Poor rebounding & our turnovers are keeping thing keeping Toronto in this game.

[StillUnknown]

Beal will make the All-Star team before Wall.

[Fight4RGIII]

I make a giddy little noise every time Bradley makes a play. I call it, "The Beal Squeal."

[StillUnknown]

Rudy Gay having a terrible game, I'll take it.

Wall has a tendency to release the ball on the way down from his jump, might have caused him to get blocked just now.
