wow, gordon has resorted to just chucking up 3's before his bigs are even close to being in position to get a rebound. 20 point game now, this things gettin blown wide open.

[One on One]

We really need to learn how to close out a game.

Good win. I would of been very dissapointed if we lost against this depleted Chicago team even if they had Chandler.

I thought that EJ did a way better job coaching in the 2nd half than he he did in the 1st half. he put in Ruffin and Dixon in too early and our lead really got small. In the 2nd half he kept the starters in and made a decision to put Etan in which really helped the Wizards close out the 4th.

Like I said, Etan helped us secure the win at the end with his blocked shots and tough play inside.

Arenas played as a good point guard today. even though the assists don't show it(2) he made some great passes and decisions.

Jamison is looking a lot better since he's been back from injury. I expect him to lite it up in the playoffs. His shot has been hot as of late.

Our interior defense was very good tonite. We looked like the Spurs inside. Haywood and Etan put on a swat fest and Arenas helped too.

Great win. We FINALLY make the friggin' playoffs.

Notes:

I did not know Curry and Nocioni were out, I would have been more optimistic. Still, Bulls still wouldn't go away even with Chandler ejected. The Wizards have been getting wins like this all year, go in and steal one against a depleted team. Hey, I'm not complaining -- Wizards also have had their share of injuries.

Kwame totally stank. Please please please do not give him the ball in the low post, he has weak hands and the ball *always* gets slapped away. Let him work from the high post where he can use his speed and his jumper and bigs have to reach out to slap the ball away.

Now I like EJ. But just imagine how good the Zards would be if they played as hard as the Bulls do. I counted at least 3 times the Wizards couldn't be bothered to lean over and pick up a loose ball and it went to the Bulls.

Anyone notice that Ruffin only got 3 minutes last night?

I am personally of the opinion that Ruffin is best used situationally and not as a full rotation player. Does Haywood's return mean that this is now a reality, instead of just a dream of mine?

I actually checked the box score after the game, because I thought Ruffin didn't play at all, which would've been his first missed game all year. I really don't mind having the guy as an 11th or 12th man, not at all. If we use him as a team should use a bottom-bencher, I'll be plenty happy having Ruffin on the squad.

Hmmm... 24-6 record versus the East this year. I'd admit pretty good, but ain't 72-10 good. Just doubling those appearances like you were an eastern squad would give you just a 48-12 record - and of course that's not factoring in the double tilts you'd have against every team in the West.

And if i'm not mistaken, the Wizards were "good" enough to smoke their sorry asses at home.
