wow! wizards are actually leading the hottest team in the NBA right now! both teams shooting 38.1%. they both suck! did anyone see the ref block prince's free throw? ROFL. buckhantz goes "well that's his first block of the season!"


:jawdrop:

My cable is screwy for some reason, there's a block of five channels that are barely coming in and CSN is one of them. I can just barely make out who's on the court, and the sound keeps going out for a second or two like twice a minute It's tough to watch the game like this, and that's a shame, because it looks like we're playing tough against one of the league's best.

 

[MJG]

I wouldn't call what I am doing "watching" the game, as it's just too tough to tell what's going on. I can't really offer too much in the way of thoughts on this one.

We had a terrible 2nd quarter judging by the stats, as giving up 31 points to a not-so-hot offensive team isn't a good thing.

Looks like another good game for Kwame (10 points on 5-8 FG, 6 rebounds) and Knight (6 points on 3-4 FG, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals), while Hughes isn't exactly doing much (1-7 FG, 0 rebounds, 1 assist). At least he limited his shot attempts when they weren't going in. Jeffries had a nice all-around half, with 5 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks to go along with his 6 points.

:jawdrop:

Why'd he block it?

 

[CP26]

I never thought I would say this but, I am really looking forward to next season:dead:

 

[Happyface]

This is just sad :sour:

 

[MJG]

Well, that was a dud of a quarter. We've been outscored 60-34 in these middle two quarters, and the game is now a major blowout. The only bright spot I can see is the continuing good play from Kwame.

 

[DetBNyce]

This game is getting uglier... Usually when teams put in their reserves at the end of a blowout the other team, makes the score respectable, but since Detroit's bench players are good the lead is still growing. :dead:

 

[jvanbusk]

You guys are lucky though because you get a good look at Darko

Nah, I feel for you. The injury bug really sucks.

Heh seriously, Detroit's bench is too good for blowouts. They need to put in some some of the fans or player's wives or something.

 

[KokoTheMonkey]

It's good to see Kwame playing at least decent. I'm not his biggest fan, nor am I anywhere near that, but I have been rooting for him to do something with himself.

 

[DetBNyce]

Up 30, the Pistons are just playing around now. Darko is in with 8:32 left, this is the most time he would've gotten this season so far...

 

[DetBNyce]

Darvin Ham is having a dunkfest... Juan Dixon is playing pretty well. And when did Mitchell Butler get back in the league...:no:

Ha just this year. He plays pretty well in his 3-4 minutes a game, but I suppose it's pretty tough to do too much wrong in that little time.

 

[DetBNyce]

Why doesn't Dixon play much with Arenas out? He's playing really well.

 

[afireinside]

JDixon is a little feverish when it comes to shooting. when he gets hot he usually ruins it by taking bad shots, much like hughes and kwame. he's a great defensive player and has a good eye for the game, he's only downfall is his feverish attitude i guess.

darko is in.. that is the sign of a game well over.

Yea, I once heard him referred to as the "human victory cigar". Well 98-77 was the final, that 11 in a row for the Stones... Sorry to celebrate in your thread, but we don't have one on our board.

You do have one, though I don't mind the celebration in ours. We don't see much celebration here in Washington.

Oddly, I didn't see a thread in our forum until after I made that post and i checked repeatedly... Don't know what that was about. :whoknows:
