Yeah, I hope the two get a lot bigger games eventually. There's still a lot of potential to be unlocked with them.

See, when we play as a team, we can beat anyone. Try to play 1 on 5 offense and we fail. Play as a team and the Wiz win 50.

I wouldn't count on it. He is still very raw...he wont get heavy minutes this year unless a couple of our Bigs are out for a significant amount of time.

Haywood, Blatche, Oberto, Jamison are all above him in the rotation

What position is McGhee listed under?

That's misleading, you make it sound like it took 2 spectacular performances to pull out a nailbiter. When in reality, we blew the doors off the hinges. It was never close. Even if Arenas/Blache shot worse, we'd still have been leading by double digits...unless they shot A LOT worse.

This trade was amazing. Foye and Miller seem to fit in perfectly here.

And what Miller is doing is amazing. The little things. He's got 2 steals in every game this season. His rebounding totals are 8, 10, and 11. That is giant, cause our bigs take up enough space that the effort of our bigs and their bigs battling for position will create rebounding chances for others. And Miller is taking that.

One thing Blatche hasn't really done much of has been rebounding. It will be interesting to see what happens when Jamison comes back. I wonder how dominate we can be with him and Miller on the floor at the same time.

It's great to see that we have depth. I wasn't a big fan at first with trading our draft pick, but it has been paying dividends. Maybe there was no one out there that will really develop and make an impact like we needed. I still would have liked to seen DeJuan Blair in the 2nd round, but oh well, Blatche has been stepping up.

very good post. I'd like to see some more rebounding out of Andray as well!

I think Blatche's emergence as a force on this team will likely extend the period of time Jamison sits (due to the lack of urgency to get back...let that shoulder heal all the way) Once Jamison gets back, Blatche should still get 30 minutes a game. You have to remember that Jamison is on the wrong side of 30, though he is still a good player, monitoring his minutes will prolong his career.

The trade was excellent...I loved it from the start. Not only because I think Foye is a star in the making, very versatile, and the perfect Guard to spell Gil.....but both of these players have expiring contracts (Foye will be restricted) and Miller will be unrestricted....so they could be used in a sign and trade latter down the line.

I don't really want to get rid of either of these guys, but it would be tempting to investigate a Miller-Foye sign and trade for Chris Bosh at the end of the year.

As for Dejuan Blair....I was so excited that he was still available in the 2nd round.....each pick (before the wizards) I start cheering and jumping up and down when he wasn't picked....I was SO PISSED when we drafted that washed up Super Middle Weight!!!! Dejuan Blair would have been the missing piece to this team that we still lack....hard nose rebounding defender in the paint.

Seriously. I was really mad we didn't get Blair. We could've had him, Jodie Meeks, Robert Dozier, Derrick Brown...to me Blair was the obvious choice for the reasons you listed. A tough banger down low. Oh well, at least we got some cash from the Rockets.

Whatever, I still like the team we have and think we can compete. Looking forward to the Cavs game in 5 hours(my day consists of waiting for sports games, having no job is booooring). I think the NBA package preview is up so I will be going to the sports bar for that.

I agree! This is a very deep team; we are one energy big man away from being a COMPLETE team! Good luck on the job hunt and enjoy the game tonight

On a couple occasions Blache was in position to get the rebound but Haywood or Miller got there first. Blache needs to get a little more aggressive with his boards, although if he decides to just "eat-space" and box the other big guy out like crazy, that's good too. As long as you have players on your team crashing the boards as well, like Mike Miller.

This is definitely true, we can let Jamison get to 100%, no point in rushing him back if we're staying competitive in the standings. We don't want to risk exacerbating the injury.

I agree with this a little. Use Jamison to make runs.

I talk to Raps fans, and from what I see in the games. We don't want Chris Bosh, he's very overrated. He doesn't play defense, he puts up big numbers in losses. He doesn't attack the rim enough, settling for jumpers a little too much.

He's still a pretty good player, but he's overrated, and will be overpaid. With the salary cap shrinking, I don't think we'd want him. I'd rather grow Blache as our PF of the future while Jamison winds down.
