The Big 3 in Milwakee were one game away from making it to the NBA finals, so their style seemed to work to some extent. They tried to add a low post presence with Anthony Mason which never worked aand they ended up missing the playoffs.

The Wizards don't need Brown to be a scorer but just play hard on the defensive end. Is Kwame honestly healthy right now though? he may be playing with an injury that has reduceed his ability to play. I think this season was all but lost for Kwame because of the injury.

I wouldn't even consider Brezec their 3rd best player with Brevin Knight and Gerald Wallce having good years. The way Brevin Knight is playing right now, he can keep his teams in games, much like Jason Kidd does (not as well of course). This game was close but the Bobcats have beaten Miami once and Orlando twice so it's not like they are that good. It's nice to seep a team that non of our division rivals could not. A win by 1 point or a win by 30 is the same thing in the standings. And let's be honest, the team did not give it's full effort for the whole 48 minutes so the will definetley need to play better against better teams.

Ideally, it would be great for the Wizards to use a low post offense but let's face it, there isn't that much time in the season to change their philosophy. If Kwame had been healthy in the beginning of the year, perhaps.

Offensively, the big 3 work. If you are stating that the people will not play as much defense when they are not involved offensively is ridicoulous. Who do you think was covering Jason Hart(if you didn't know, it was Gilbert Arenas)?

Are you saying that the bigs will be more motivateed to play better defense if they don't get any touches? I doubt it. I think they will understand that they can affect the game come playoff time. Defensively, the Wizards still have a lot to work on. Gilbert needs to improve his defense. Jamison may eventually have to be moved for someone who can. Still Eddie Jordan is doing what is best with pieces he has given to him.

I don't think anyone is arguing that we need to build up our frontline more, but the point is our talent is concentrated on the perimeter so that's where we go. I wish Kwame Brown was Tim Duncan, but unfortunately he's not. Considering our roster, I don't think we need to all of a sudden start going inside.

I'd rather not give Etan touches. He's a turnover machine when he goes 1-on-1 down on the block. The only time he should be getting the ball is when Michael Ruffin, Steve Blake, Laron Profit, and Juan Dixon are on the floor with him.

Kwame has really sucked this year. Despite his injures, he plays with no passion to win or get better. His potential far exceeds his motivation which in definition is a bust. I love the guy, but he just needs to learn that he's not going to get through his NBA career with the only thing on his resume is being the number 1 pick in the 2001 Draft.

On the other hand, Haywood has really improved. He's showed glimpses that he can, if given the touches, give a solid post prescence in the paint. His jump hook has greatly improved. His hands are about one thousand times better than last year. His passing from the post has also led to many open three pointers. He has finally become an acceptable starting center in the league.

I think our Big 3 has more of a chance of shooting themselves to a win than to a loss as show by our record. I'd like to see our record with Antawn, Arenas, and Hughes all starting in the line-up. I bet it's about 8+ games over .500. That's fine with me.
