Going Commando Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Porter should play over Harrington too. Harrington has been getting to the FT line and the basket. But his shot is an absolute mess right now. Some of the worst 3 pt shooting I've seen in a while. And he's a minus defensively. I like his attitude but he doesn't have his range yet at all. John is shooting the three ball a lot better than everyone else on the bench lately, including Webster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherrardsd Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Could it be that Wittman was smart ... Â Don't get ahead of yourself man!! Although regardless of the circumstances, I am really glad Otto is seeing the floor a little bit. He didn't look great but didn't look awful either for a guy who hasn't sniffed more than 45 seconds of playing time all season. Â I hate watching us play the Grizzlies because even when you play well (which I don't think we played great for most of the game but we played well enough to beat a lot of teams), they can overcome a lot. Gasol and Randolph are great, tough players. It's unlikely both will be off their games, and on top of that we had to deal with Mike Conley who was a pain. And then on top of it, the usual Wizards bench powerup was used by Tayshaun Prince who just couldn't stop making clutch plays for most of the game. Â I was impressed with Booker's defense though. He played tough against a very tough match-up and I'd rather us lose this game than any of games coming up that we SHOULD win. Just had a nice win streak and hopefully we can start up another one tomorrow night! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeWolf990 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Memphis' front court kicked our ass, and thats why we lost. We were outscored in the paint by 20+ points. Since Nene's injury, the defense has been pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Porter should play over Singleton. Singleton might be the worst offensive player in the league. Â Â While I generally agree, I suspect Chris is getting the minutes due to the lack of defense with Nene and Seraphin out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Porter should play over Singleton. Singleton might be the worst offensive player in the league. Â Singleton can't even hang his hat on defense, which was supposed to be his calling card coming out of college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeWolf990 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think Otto should play over Singleton, but lets not pretend Singleton hasnt played decently recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The only reason Singleton is playing is because he plays PF and we're pretty desperate there. All of our bench bigs are basically new to the lineups this season. Harrington missed about 50 games and Singleton sat for that long. Ves gone. Seraphin hurt. We're desperate. The defense has been very bad. We went from going two true big lineups about 99% of the time to tiny lineups with 6'8 players at PF and C in the span of about two days.

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 For who asked me why I thought of the Georgetown players as soft, really, it's more of their time at Georgetown than anything. Just forever hearing about them, forever waiting for them to blow up, and it just never happened. Not for Green, not for Monroe, not for Porter. Probably has more to do with JTIII than anything (like the joke goes, the only person to ever stop Jordan was Dean Smith) but nothing in their NBA careers has really made me think anymore highly of them.

SuperBash Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Green and Monroe might not be stars but they both have/will earn decent 2nd contracts (Above 35mil) and are above average players. A lot of lottery picks can't say the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 No Martell tonight.. Otto gets extended minutes? I hope so. I want to see more. I posted this on RealGM in response to a tweet about Al Harrington and Ariza calling him Ottoman.

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Lol, goddamn. ACW just texted me that he's at the game tonight. I haven't heard from dude in about 2 years. **** I wish Gator Bait still posted here. There's a classic story about all three of us (and Co.) at a game a few years back. I'd share it myself but as I was one of the leading actors in said cluster**** (and GB--Ryan, also my ex-roommate before I got laid off and he left for Cali (we had a sick little sport in Arlington)--was kind of enough on the outside looking in to tell it better than I can.) You know, I've always appreciated the mods here (especially after experiencing being a mod myself for a bit on another board) but I can't lie, I think they went a bit overboard with banning folks. Really took a lot of the humor and life out of the board in my opinion. Just my opinion and not trying to start ****. Just 5 years ago, there were probably a few dozen websites I checked daily. That number is now down to three and ES is one of them. So I still love it here and still greatly appreciate and even admire the mods. I just miss some folks is all. A one-time blanket amnesty might be cool (maybe if the Skins ever win the SB, that be something in response?) maybe I just feel this way because all the people banned seemed to be all the people who were down to meet up and hit games. I mean would anyone here be down to do that? If not for a Wizards game (not many remaining and Def can get a little pricey, then at least hit one of the many Nats games for cheap?)

@DCGoldPants Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Solid win. They were in control for almost the whole game. Maybe a few times the Jazz chipped away a little....but not for more than a possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Gooden wants another 10 day contract Wouldnt be mad at it. Finally has his legs under him, and playing some good ball. Gets a bit foul dependent on D, but solid bench player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
