Maybe I need to finally start watching this team, someone from DC finally needs to not disappoint us.

They're an incredibly frustrating team to watch especially when wall and beal are both off their game. Luckily the bulls are one of the worst offensive teams in basketball.

So up 2 games, Think Wall and Company can close the series out at home? More importantly, If we see the Pacers round 2 (most likely we will), Whats our chances in that series?

Not very good. We played terrible against the Pacers all year pretty much.

Go Wiz Go. I really think Arenas will be a deciding factor in this series.

QFT. Local radio has talked more Wizards the past 2 days then they have all season. Before the chicago series locals thought they'd lose in 5 games now they're liking their chances against the Heat in the ECF. Bandwagon fans are such dirty souls.

At least I can say I remotely keep up with the team as far as record goes. Those that think they have a great chance against the Heat are just delusional and can't even call themselves sports fans.

We have a better chance against the Heat than the Pacers.

I've actually kept up with this team all year, been to several games. This team can beat the Heat in a 7 game series, but they need to be 100% healthy and they need to not make all of these mental mistakes. I've seen, in person, this wizards team put up 42 points on the Heat in one quarter and win the game by 30. They match up well with the Heat. It's possible, but not probable.

With that said, I still see the Wizards exiting the playoffs in the next round. As I've been saying since the beginning of the year, this team has the potential to make the second round, but I don't see them going far after that.

Be honest, can you blame them?

 

[Slateman]

Randy needs to tell them to come out running tonight. Would help avoid the Wiz getting complacent. With the crowd roaring, it'll drive the Wizards for the rest of the night.

They need to get Nene & Gortat involved in dat pick n roll/pop game early in order to get Bulls post players in foul trouble.

 

[Slateman]

Exactly the kind of start I was hoping for.

 

[Slateman]

If someone could guard Dunllevvy, that would be great

 

[Bmore]

I've followed them off and on this season. Won't lie, 82 games is a shit ton for me to follow game in and game out. Don't frequent the site as much anymore, but decided to pop in and chat some NBA, now that my favorite team is actually winning and relevant in the playoffs.

As for the topic at hand, Dunleavy was a mad man tonight, dude hit everything he threw up. Wiz kept giving me hope at the end though.
