Yeah, my guess is that we never hear from them again in this thread. Tough game to watch though, but we still got the job done. Damn Peterson looked aggressive tonight. He wanted the ball and actually did some good things off some hard screens that were set for him. I am glad to reinforce that we do not need Carter to score 30 every night, for us to win and Iam really pleased about that.
It is only one win, but it will build up confidence within our team. We can win with defense. We have to play like this every game, for us to be a factor this year. We have shown that we can up the ante on defense and do all the little things required to enable us to win close games. Lenard did some great things for us off the bench and can hold that bench slot down before Murray gets back, healthy.
Damn, Wizards looked awful tonight. It was due to what we did. We forced the issue, slowed down the shotclock for them and made them struggle. So, we can with with great defense. Our big men can compete and this is what give me confidence.
It will be a long season for the Wizards, especially if the trend of their backcourt shooters in Stackhouse, Hughes, Russell, Lue, Jordan, etc struggle like they did tonight. They will lose alot of games, because of this. As for the Raptors we will move on!!!
