    Yep...:)
    I was actually expecting some ppl here to complain about it.

    You're right. These are the Wiz. They aren't scrubs. I'm expecting a run from them anytime in the 3rd. As long as we can hold them off we're be fine. They are much better than the Blazers...

    The Blazers we should have just stomped. That was a let down; we relaxed.

    Why did JVG take Yao out and put in Motombo??? It's only 6mins to go in 3rd

    Yao needs an earlier breather after the half... and our defensive intensity and rebounding were seriously lacking in the first 6 minutes. (thus, we neeeded some Mutombo).

    if the wiz outscore us by a score of 20-19 in the 4th then my pregame prediction will be right!

    ROX:110
    wizards:97


    go rox! and close this game out!

    Yes... but they are getting wide-open looks (which you should expect any NBA player to hit every given time... which is why the Rockets were so frustrating to watch the first two months of the season).

    Sura should bulk up and play power forward. Already 10 rebs.

    Yao finally DENIES the dunk.... but we'll probably just see the one Thomas got on him on SC tonight.

    One of the funny thinigs about desperate teams (any team that's down 15+ in the 4th for that matter) is that sometimes they chuck up 3s and they go in....one after the other...(free-stroking; no thinking).

    Most of the time we've won those games this year (prevented those comebacks). But it's just scary when that stuff happens...

    I'm like, "Oh, you save your best 3pt game, in the last 5 minutes for us when we got you down by 15?!" Damn bastards! Once in a while teams like that will get lucky. Pisses me off though! :mad:

    :)

    tmac is looking to close out this game, and he is doing a damn good job.

    They're hardly even guarding him.... hillarious! (but, a lot of credit goes to the attention they're giving Yao).

    i love watching losers like thomas try to take it at yao when they have no real moves whatsoever. as long as the refs don't bail them out with some horrendous call, they throw up the kind of junk etan just did and take away a possession arenas or jamison could've shot. etan's been getting owned inside.

    I guess they don't know he's scored 62 points in a game before.
