czy nowi gracze z NY Knicks będą mogli już dziś wystąpić w meczu przeciwko Wizards?

According to Gus (Johnson), they'll be at MSG tomorrow for the physicals and be at the game but they won't play until tuesday.

I was very pleased with the way the Wizards played and coached. I've got few complaints.

We lost the game because we simply didn't have anybody with the size and strength to push Yao out of the paint. I thought the game plan against Yao was solid. We fronted him when possible and McGee and Blatche made sure to sprint down the court on every rebound to force Yao to run as much as possible. It really worked for 3 quarters with Yao being held to about 10 points and 4 turnovers. In the 4th quarter, Houston was really patient and force-fed the ball to Yao. Yao was just too strong for anybody to guard one-on-one. We HAD to double team and Houston made every 3. I can't complain, the double-teaming of the post was justifiable tonight.

The best news of the night was that Blatche played well. He finally looked like the Blatche of last season. No stupid turnovers. He played solid D. He didn't force shots. He was only out-of-control on one play and he managed to hang onto the ball before Landry could take it from him.

I didn't mind DIxon taking those shots down the stretch. Houston was really keying on Butler and Jamison and they left Dixon open for most of the game. He hit a bunch of them, just not enough.

McGee played very well too. Nice to see him get some exposure on national TV.

The bottom line is that Houston is a good team at both ends of the floor. If they're going to hit 3's like that down the stretch, and we don't have Haywood to contain Yao, it's damn near impossible to beat them.

I also liked that Jamison played well and got a lot of praise from JVG and Mark Jackson.

I thought the Wiz played well, but were eventually outlasted by the far better team. McGee and Blatche combined to go 7-8 from the field in the first half, and you knew that wasn't going to continue. Credit Houston for continuing to feed Yao and get our guys in foul trouble. When you have Yao and guys who can make 3's you're tough to defend.

Two nitpicky complaints. First, Blatche seemed to frustrate Yao a little by fronting him in the first half. Yet Mcgee didn't. And then in the second half Blatche seemed to stop. Yao has such a strength advantage that you cant play behind him or he gets in too deep. Secondly, McGrady's hurt. I don't think he finished at the rim all night long. The Wiz didn't seem to recognize that and take away his jumper. Granted, it's hard to take away a 6'8 guy's jumper, especially when we're small on the perimeter, but I would have liked them to sell out a littl emore and make him give up the ball or go to the rim.

But wow, fellas. McGee is for real. National TV, all-world center and he took it too the guy. He's 20! He's going to be a special one.

Thanks everyone for talking me into watching the game. I actually thought it was a pretty good one. The positives I saw from this game were (1) the Wizards played with ALOT of effort (2) Blatche/McGee were about as good as can be expected and (3) the ball movement and defense were overall the best I've seen since the Utah game. The negatives were: (1) Butler and Young did not have strong showings (2) we are still getting no production from Stevenson, (3) we are still doing a poor job on the boards (Landry killed us in the second quarter) and (4) the Wizards again took stupid, quick shots at the end of the game.

Since a lot of you criticized EJ for playing Songalia and Etan so long in the 4th quarter, I was really interested in seeing how they played. After watching them play, I really don't get the criticism. Even though JVG made a comment that the Wizards had no scorers out there, the threesome of Songalia, Etan and Juan were actually doing really well. Juan, Songalia and Etan all hit shots to keep the Wizards up with about a 7-9 lead when all of a sudden McGrady hit two threes back to back with a hand in his face with about 7:39 left in the game. At that moment, EJ immediately substituted AJ, McGee and Butler back in and it went nip and tuck until about 2:30 minutes left when Yao scored several in a row and Alston hit a three pointer. If anything, the only criticism I have of EJ is that he should have had McGee fronting Yao at the end.

Starbury odmówił gry, co za idiota
