So do any of you now think we need J-Mac out there playing some basketball. Eric Snow cant even bring up the basketball or hit a 12 footer from the foul line.

hmmmmm....... ?????

Larry Hughes for Retirement · 01-24-2005, 06:17 PM

OMG can we get an Athlete out there playing basketball. Atleast Sasha knows how to dribble and run at the same time. Ira Newble might be able to shoot when open (maybe) and play some defense.

but come on silas switch up this lineup this is a terrible lineup...

The OUTLAW · 01-24-2005, 06:20 PM

I see what Arenas does. He's quick but he's always driving to the basket out of control and then he goes up and flails away and if the ref is an idiot he blows the whistle. Seems like alot of the time there is no contact.

Now Lebron pops a 3...

Well i think this game should make your decision alittle easier about the Snow - JMac debate.

Having Snow/Newble on the floor at the same time is the worst offensive guard combo in the NBA and thats our starting lineup.

Please still hate on Jeff. M your all idiots. People are going to score and people are going to penetrate the hoop no matter who is playing PG.

But having 3 offensive players on the other end cant happen. And doesnt help at all.

I am not at all cutting Eric Snow's effort he plays balls out and i love that. But he doenst help us on the offensive end and he didnt do much in shutting down Arenas tonight.

Benedict_Boozer · 01-24-2005, 06:33 PM

Washington is gonna have around 48 ft's tonight compared to 23 for us....

Heartbreaker loss. You lose a big lead, one of your players get hurt and you lose the game. The team has to regroup for the next game in 2 days. Let's hope Anderson isn't down and out for long.

Wizards 106, Cavaliers 97

**LOYALTY** · 01-24-2005, 06:43 PM

Sasha was a missing piece. Is his defense really that bad? Do we really need Newble playing key minutes?

As far as the refs.. Hey, the refs sucked, but so what? If you take it strong to the hoop, you force the refs to make a call. The Wizards got it done.

The thing that continues to plague the Cavaliers is perimeter defense. Any penetrating guard kills this team, and they don't switch well on picks.

But I am still with this team all the way !!

it's really bad to lose ike that but i think this was actually a great game and we can set our hopes high for playoffs... lebron took a lot of the final shots... nearly missed another TD... i don't know about you but i've been disapointed with ilgauskas and gooden rebounding... we still have to go with varejao (sideshow bob or energizer bunny) with 14 boards in 18 minutes... but i still believe that if we had a better sg pg combo we could win the east and at least 1 nba finals game

I just saw Arenas on the post game show here in Washington and he said his main priority is to get to the line. Usually, he does draw the contact. He really does get beat up quite a bit, usually on body contact. He didn't finish as much as usual tonight and he may look out of control, but he's so strong he will finish a lot of shots that you wouldn't expect him to make. The last 5 games Arenas has drawn at least 10+ FTA. He's made a new effort to get to the line. It's not like he's just flailing wildly, though. If he doesn't get fouled, he's probably gonna finish...just a conundrum you have to face when guarding a quick PG like Arenas.

I just don't understand Silas. He plays both Snow and Lebron through a huge first lead w/o sitting them at all in the first half. They both ended up playing more then 45 minutes. This especially hurt Snow who is used to getting less then 30 a game.

Silas also rode the zone for too long especially once they started hitting outside shots
