    BTW, are we far enough along in the winning streak that we can start doing this again?

    The Wizards are a team that can pull off a win if we let them hang around. I'd say they are even likely to do so.

    I'm hoping the Grizz beat up on the Wizards tonight so they're physically tired tomorrow. Beverly should slow down Wall, and we need to play agressively. It would be great to see us build a big lead and keep it where the last half quarter wasn't in doubt.

    I'm predicting the Rockets will run on a tired DC squad and win 115-91.

    As talented as this team is, as successful as they have been, there are still some things that bother me: they play down to the level of competition, they lose big leads, they play lackadaisical defense, and make absolutely mindless and silly turnovers. They make every game an adventure. No lead is ever secure, no team is bad enough to not be in the game. The Wizards as one poster put it, "are no pushover." I would really like the Rockets to come out blazing, build an early lead, keep it, put the game away by the mid-third quarter, and coast into the OSB riding a seven game win streak. Yes, style points matter, because they are a forecast of things to come.

    Very true. But I would suspect that our numerous ills you mentioned will be corrected, or at least get better next season. Experience will be a factor for this squad for the next couple of years. And if they're still struggling with the same issues by ASG next year, then start making phone calls.
