come on J.J. make your shots!

why to help Howard to guard Dampier and leave House open in the corner?!

I prefer Malik Allen...

somebody has to take it personal and hit Lebron hard...

when SVG will understand that he can't play Jameer and Arenas together?

I hate when Jameer brings the ball upcourt, then without a single pass takes it to the paint and then takes a fade away jumper! :(

then SVG must be fired, if players are not listening to him...

Come on! are you watching Magic games? Every time any player is passing up a 3 point shot SVG makes one of those annoying grimaces and then screaming at that player! he wants everyone to shot the ball with every opportunity! 32 three pointers tonight! do you think it is that hard for a professional coach to tell his professional players not to shoot so many threes and just pass the ball to Dwight or drive to the rim?

we shot 32!!!!! three pointers! why? for how long we'll play like that? we have one of the best centers in the world and still shooting 32! damned three pointers, making 8! SVG is a bad coach and you can say whatever you want to defend him...

Howard 7 turnovers and absolutely terrible, stupid technical foul at the end of the game! how stupid is that????

1 point game now...

We were up by 12 and then SVG brings Arenas and pairs him with Jameer in backcourt, how stupid is that? since then we playing bad and the lead is 5 points now. Why did he put Q.Richardson in the game?

Arenas has more guaranteed years on his contract and 30 millions more than Rashard. Otis had to get a first round pick or one of Wizards young bigs in that terrible deal. Rashard could be much more useful off the bench than Arenas. He could play both forward positions and easily get 18-22 minutes a game and be productive.

We gave away Gortat because SVG could not use him alongside Howard. SVGs problem is that he is too obsessed with the idea of stretching the floor and playing "small". Unfortunately SVG believes that the only way to use Howard successfully on the offensive end is to surround him with shooters. Gortat-Howard could be great together, great defense, rebounding on both ends and shotblocking, SVG tried it few times but only for a short stretches...He never tried to make it work...

ok...

I remember he had harmstring injury during the preseason and even had a surgery... Maybe that injury is affecting him as well?

sorry my english is not so good to understand such a "great" jokes...

I am not saying Rashard is a much better player than Arenas, the problem is Arenas has extra year on his contract plus 30 millions, I still can't believe we did not get a draft pick or one of the Wizards bigs in that trade. If Rashard stayed he could still play 20 minutes a game backing up Hedo and PF spots. If we are playing Arenas those minutes then we could play Lewis same way. Rashard is a better professional than Gilbert, he would handle his role.

the thing is Nelson, Arenas and Redick can not guard anyone in the league, so by putting Hedo at PG (for some stretches) won't hurt us too bad... when we were in finals, in game 2, we were playing without point guard for almost the whole second half and overtime... and look, we must try something, we are too predictable on the offensive end-pick and rolls and Howard in the post, nothing else...we never create mismatches for the opponents. Moreover SVG is a master to create a defensive mismatch for his own team, when he puts Nelson, Redick and J.Richardson on the floor or even worse-Nelson, Arenas, Redick...

By the way I think SVG is not using Jason Richardson properly, he was much much better in Phoenix. I remember how great he was during last playoffs, he has a few 40 points game and was hitting one clutch shot after another...

emory889, if Arenas was trying to defend Rose, it means J.Rich also could and probably with more success. By the way when we played Thunder, J.Rich was guarding Westbrook and Jameer was at Sefolosha... When I am suggesting that Hedo should play at point for some stretches on the offensive end, it means Redick or Richardson should guard the PG.

SVG should really try Clark at SF...

I wrote that we could use a big lineup FOR SOME STRETCHES during the game, not the whole game. Actually yesterday we could have used it, with Nelson out with the injury and Arenas playing terribly. We could play Hedo, J.Richardson, Redick or Q.Richardson, Anderson and Dwight in the 4th quarter. J.Richardson could have defended Rose, Hedo could have some post up opportunities.

Lewis is playing mostly at SF position for Wizards and he is playing well. Right now we are playing Jason Richardson at SF sometimes, we could give those minutes to Rashard and some minutes at PF. Also when Bass is backing up Howard at C we again could use Lewis out there. I was not a huge fan of Lewis but we just got robbed in that trade, just think about it, Arenas has 30 millions more on his deal and extra year, that will absolutely kill us. We lost all the salary cap flexibility with that disastrous trade!

Lewis was playing well too...
