Again, Perk has disappeared from the game and now the Wizards are driving with ease into the paint and opening their offense....
Nice tip in by Garnett!!!

Somebody has to tell Doc that when you have a 14 point lead, it's not the time to play small ball and hope to coast to victory..Would be extremely disappointing if we lose...

Damn. The wizards are no joke. They are 16-1 without Arenas. That Caron Butler can play. They have been scrappy bastards against us.

We seem to have lost our intensity..When teams are playing physical with us lately we've folded..I'm not seeing the same players i saw earlier on in the season in green..And great play at the end by the C's  |

We were too up and down this game. Need to get Rondo back healthy. the bench played pretty good but we lost some steam at the end and the wizards outplayed us. We came out slow, played well in between. Came out slow in the 3rd. the bench came in, we played well. Ran out of steam.
I actually have respect for the wizards. they are playing really tough...... The good news is TA really showed some energy and appears to be getting healthy. perk also showed a lot of energy. House played well in spurts. Same with Pierce. Posey played some good D. Garnett played well in spurts. Not enough consistency. I think once rondo gets healthy we will be fine. We need to stop getting in that mode of walking the ball up and we need to take better advantage our opportunies. We seem way too complacent at times. Teh starting unit really struggled because Rondo was not there. The bench played well. The starters need to get back to really trying to win every possesion.

The only thing that really bugged me about this game was our final shot..We just gave it to Ray and hoped he could get an open shot? No movement, picks, or passing at all! We had 8 seconds i was disgusted with that play..That game winner Ray hit against Toronto wasn't just a pass to him covered but him running around picks on the baseline..We knew they were on us tough and we just pretty much didn't even fight in the end...

I thought we played hard. We just aren't completely there right now. We looked really good at times. This is just one of those games where we've kind of hit a lull and we are kind of in between imo. We were sort of getting back on the right track but we played a tough team and we didn't make the plays we needed to. C's energy level was not completely there eitehr. KG is a smart guy and wants the team to practice. hehe. He's the anti AI. He's right though...... They need to practice. This team has hit a wall of sorts and practice will fix that. We've gotten kind of predictable and need to open things up a bit.

I totally agree that we're predictable but that might also have to do with the fact that Rondo wasn't all there and therefore never broke down the D and penetrated..Doc needs to stay away from Small Ball!!!!! I think the C's might also be learning from the Spurs and Pistons in which they know they're the best and aren't going all out to pick up wins to pile up on their record but i know we'll get back, we need to be faced with losses sooner or later..It's just that Portland won't be much easier...
