Game Thread: Hornets @ Wizards

Anthony in foul trouble. Gordon still has 17 points.

That's right Robin. Tap that ball back in there. Make yourself useful.

John Wall with a jumper. Scary.

Somebody remind Wall that HE CAN'T SHOOT!

That's because Vasquez start playing hero ball. I saw him wave off Gordon during the 3rd.

Good call playing Lopez for 11 more mins so far than davis. He had really helped. 4 PTs

Didn't see the 5 fouls

Davis can't help but foul today.

Umm. Davis has 5 fouls...

Just saw

When Gordon had the ball to start the play the offense was clicking in the 1st. Different story now.

Monty took our two hottest players out and cooled them off for almost a whole qtr and they were never the same.

Roberts, Gordon, & Vasquez on the floor. Very small lineup.

Hornets didn't even try to stop Ariza right there.

Down to the wire on ESPN.

ALL ABOARD THE TANK!!

Wow. That last play hurt.

I don't see how anyone can be glad we lost.

I've really liked Martell Webster this year, please sign him, Dell, would be great splitting minutes with Aminu or Otto

I thought you were on board with the tank? Either way, I think it's best that we lose for sure. We could pick anywhere from 3rd to 10th in this draft considering how bad the East is. That's the difference between Marcus Smart and Otto Porter or Trey Burke and Alex Len. Big difference imo.

And I thought the officiating was really horrendous tonight, and I hardly complain about reffing. Anthony hardly played because of foul trouble but still played AWESOME in the limited minutes. Plus, John Wall was hitting shots he rarely hits, and I think Anderson is still sick (I believe I heard he is struggling to keep food down still). So I don't see how tonight's loss was at all bad.

One tank is enough, I'd say, but then again where are we going this season? I'm indecisive. I do love seeing us win. That's all I know. I like seeing our players individually succeed. The team itself, I know it's usually not going to happen this season.

One more road game on Sunday and then we're home for the rest of the month.

Monty Monty monty lol yeah blame Monty. Fact is Martell Webster and John Wall had the shooting games of their lives last night it had nothing to do with rotations or coaching decisions. We had our 2 best on the ball defenders (Gordon and AFA) guarding Wall and Webster and they both killed us. I can't even get mad at GV for getting destroyed off the dribble.

We're just not good... blame Monty for sitting AD too long or blame him for his terrible rotations, but y'all act like we got the Clippers bench players. Aside from Ryno and (on some nights) Roberts... the guys on our bench now are D-league material.

I'm not on the "Tank" train because I hate to see us get our teeth kicked in every night, but I can't sit here and say that we have enough talent on our roster to win consistently.

I think a lot of us do beleive we have a winnable team, not playoffs yet because of youth and injuries. But I watched the game and I defend Monty when needed but he did sit AD and Gordon when they were scoring left and right for almost the complete 2nd quarter. We had the lead until then and never got it back so it's an important strategic decision by our coach that contributed to that loss.

That is not to say the only reason however. Davis ran into foul trouble in 2nd half. Eric got tired again. Webster and Wall were shooting great against good defense. Nothing you can do then.
