Bad post.

Terrible. Seraphin is a black hole, he always was and always will be. Can't pass, can barely rebound, can barely score, and can't defend. If his hook isn't on he's absolutely useless. Which is a step up from when his hook is on, where he's arguably useless.

Wall was absolute crap this game. Didn't play well, especially if this is a game to hopefully attract Durant one day.

agree with you on Kevin; he is generally terrible with flashes of competence offensively. It was especially bad to see Kendrick Perkins back him down and score; Perkins has probably not done that in 5 years.

disagree on Wall; he had 12 assists against one turnover; unfortunately the one was at a bad time. He also held Westbrook below his average. Problem was they couldn't stop KD and their bench guys.

Will be tough to win tonight although San Antonio without Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard is not the same.

That's what the team leader needs to do. Hope he does not try to so too much the next couple games.

Even at 39/40 whatever he is, Duncan is going to eat Marcin alive inside on the offensive end. And their bench is going to destroy ours unless Miller and Butler go Godmode. But they won't because they'll have Seraphin ballhog and miss some crappy hooks.

Give Keveen a break. I have seen him pass the ball once or twice this year. Also saw him get a rebound once.

The Spurs haven't been good this year. I expect the Wizards to win this game.

Don't have the talent to beat OKC. Don't have the coaching and execution to beat San Antonio. Not thhe road trip I was hoping for.

Watching football so I missed it. Think this is good to take the egos down a notch and make them realize they have to be better. Need to win Monday night.

Dave B · « **Reply #413 on:** January 03, 2015, 11:05:52 pm »

Meh. Wins would be great. These teams are probably better but the wiz hung with okc last night and were beaten by Durant. Decent for most of the game tonight. Back to back didn't help. If these losses were like the Dallas game I'd be worried. Maybe they learned something. Sometimes the league mvp beats you. Sometimes the champs beat you.

Uh . . . yea. That's OKC's game plan. Give the ball to Durant so he can beat you.

PC · « **Reply #415 on:** January 04, 2015, 12:01:37 am »

For some reason, they've completely fallen apart in the fourth quarter lately. The games are close, competitive until the fourth and then collapse.

Not much you can do to stop it. Just have to hope he isn't hot

He's always hot. Going to be awesome when he signs here.

Way too confident.

If we play like we have the last 5 or so games, why would he want to sign here? He wouldn't. We're lucky to have won against Houston, and we'll be lucky to beat NO and go 2-3. We might be a good team but this roadtrip was a disaster and we're still a trainwreck until we prove otherwise in the playoffs.

We're lucky we are in the East. And Chicago, Toronto and Atlanta all look real good. It all oohs much better if you consider the team in comparison to 2013 and before.

Dave B · « **Reply #420 on:** January 04, 2015, 10:51:31 am »

I still the team is ironing out its lineups. Pierce hardly plays more than 20 minutes and I think they are still trying to find optimum big combinations.
Maybe keeping people fresh til playoffs

Great first half for Wall.

Leonsis will get frustrated and throw the money around. By then the Cavs will have won a championship. Leonsis will see what LeBron did with a young core around him. He'll bite. Sell Durant on bringing a championship back to DC.

I don't see how the Cavs will win a championship in the next two years but do agree that Ted would spend the money. Probably a lot depends on what OKCity does this next year. A more likely scenario is that they trade him next year if they don't think they can sign him. So Wizards would need to be able to trade the expiring contract OKC would likely want.

Looks like we survived tonight. 2-3 is an OK trip.
