This sucks. No video feed available for this game. It's just me and Dave Johnson.

Try either being a part of it or coming up with a better suggestion.

Love EJ if you want but don't try to tell others they have to.

No but I hate reading game threads with same stuff about lineups. Its the same talk about the same lineup and the same complaints regardless of the score.

I don't love EJ. I've been EXTREMELY critical of him in the past. But please cut down on the talk about LINEUPS already.

It's what the guy likes to post about. Just put him on ignore if it bothers you that much.

Awesome defensive stand.

Shame. A couple of horrible defensive possessions and the lead is back to 11.

boooooooooooooo.. Wiz have 2 chances to cut the lead to 4 and choke both times on the offensive end. Then of course Houston goes on a monstrous run. This happens every time we play against a good team.

-Go down by 10-12 points
-Make a "false hope" run to cut the lead to 5-6
-Then promptly go ice cold and forget how to run the offense
-Opposing team goes on a big run to get the lead back in the double digits

There are some nice things happening in this game. Now we just have to bring it all together and make a run.

Brendan Haywood > Wizards. That is all. The rest of the team ****ing blows.

EJ goes back to the big line AD and BH but its with

DS, Mason and AJ

I just dont get it.

Why not with AD and CB?

We need a PG and a scorer to make this work.

Id even take DS and CB.

Nice drive by Mason.

This team defies logic. The stupid plays/turnovers are the difference in this game.

Post #115 » by **miller31time** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 1:48 am

This game just doesn't make any sense.

Houston is not a good offensive team (basically the 10th worst), AND their #1 offensive option AND the guy their offense runs through has been played very well (as of 2mins to go in the 3rd, Yao was 6-15, 2rebs, 1ast, blocked 4 times, turned it over 4 times), and they're STILL up 11.

Amazing.

Done.

Amazing. What exactly do you expect in a game thread?

hands11 · Post #117 » by **hands11** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 1:50 am

Ahhh. Come on.

Go Haywood. Go Haywood.

If he keeps this up if he going to get a following.

hands11 · Post #118 » by **hands11** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 1:51 am

Block by Haywood.

I believe.

We can do this. We need someone to get a hot hand.

Come on CB. Be the glue to make this happen.

Does not make sense because you have not been watching rockets recently. With Tmac out, they have won 4 of their last 6 games and the offense has done well, improving game on game. Rick Adelman's effort to improve Rockets' offense has started to bear fruit as demonstrated in their recent surge so far. But Rockets are prone to blow big lead so Wizards still have a chance.

If we are going to see OP, it's going to happen now.

I doubt it though.
