Charlotte at Washington Wizards 12/1

[Wallace15]

Charlotte Bobcats(4-11) coming off a 90-99 loss to the Atlanta Hawks at the Washington Wizards(5-9) coming off of a win a couple of nights ago against the Atlanta Hawks 96-95.
If only this game was in Charlotte. The Wizards are 0-7 on the road this season.

With Ray out tonight I assume Brezec or May will be in the starting line-up tonight.

Our main problem will be shutting down Arenas whos averaging 25.6 points a game.
Caron Butler may cause some problems if Morrison is defending him throughout the the game. Washington post players shouldnt do much down low. None of their big men are even averaging 10 points a game.

The Wizards are allowing more than 100 points a game so we shouldnt have any problem scoring on them.

I think we can get another win tonight like you said if we can contain Arenas we should be fine. But also Ammo has to make his shoots.

Gilbert Arenas has been going off this season at 25+ a game, but fortunately for us the Wizards don\'t play a lot of defense. If we can make our shots and if Bernie doesn\'t coach us out of the game then we have a legit shot to get a win tonight.

Another loss... If this keeps up, its only a matter of time before there starts to be some dissension between the players and the coaching staff.

Raymond plays horribly nowadays. The reason is only not being allowed to play PG? Or do you think we just overrated him? We have to consider seriously now. We have to find the reasons and treat them. Players by themselves, coach or Jordan?

Mr. Ziggy expected 40 wins before the start of the season, I expected 35, and lots in this forum predicted at least 30 wins, but we look as if we even won\'t reach 20, although Adam Morrison plays as well as we would like to see.

I never want to support a team contending with Grizzlies to get Greg Oden(they will rise after Gasol came back, but we even have no injured player!!). GOD DAMN IT.

Overrated? hell no he earned his respect last year Felton was playing hurt last night and he showed signs of it. Playing off the ball has a lot to do with it and not knowing you\'re roll on the team does not help at all either. In these last couple of games it seems like everyone is playing for themselves and not together like the 3 games last week. Nobody on the team is really playing consistent basketball either.

raymond is completly invisible. he is a really mediocre shooting guard. its such a waste of talent.

and as far as the greg oden theory. we could lose every single game we have left. and still not get the first pick. its a lottery and its done so no teams tank a season. unless there was an NBA conspiracy and we got the first pick.

Cause i mean, if Oden is as good as hes supposed to be. we are a serious contender with raymond ammo crash oakafor and oden. this would get Jordan back into the NBA lime light and therefore increase the NBA stock. Ok im just kidding. while we could be making sure we get a lottery pick next year, i hope the staff doesnt think we should finish with the worst record to get the number one. i hope.

I\'m a big fan of Felton, of course. And he showed last year that he could be as well as inflated Chris Paul. I have no intention to discuss his talents. But I\'m just asking, if we trade Knight tonight, and take a reliable reserve point guard in return, will it help Felton to get his 17-5-8 performance back instantly? Maybe I should ask the question that way.

Ray is struggling only because he is playing out of position. Ray can put up the same numbers or better than BK. BK had 5 turnovers Friday night. If Ray had 5 their would be a lot said about him turning the ball over. I don\'t understand where this franchise is headed. If you are losing by 15 with the veteran why are you not preparing Ray to be the great point guard he will eventually be. If the team was so much better without Ray I could possibly understand. In my opinion the team owners are going to have to step to the plate and demand some changes. I am not saying that Bernie needs to go but I am saying I don\'t understand his rationale.
