Watch the replay, Okafor wasn't moving. Wallace ran into him.

The flagrant was dumb. But Okafor didn't foul Wallace.

Yea watching the reply its a nice clean HARD screen that we used to get from pryz all the time
 
Uh oh. There goes Wallace. Someone else will have to step up
 
Well a little interesting refing and the last few minutes and we only have a 2 point lead that should be 5 to 6.
 
Refs have decided who shouldl win this game.

Cut B-Roy and his "lollololololololl, this game is fair so far and it is all Blazers who are not executing."
 
Just read this nice little tid bit

WASHINGTON -- Top overall draft pick John Wall, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Juwan Howard were ejected after a skirmish during the second quarter of the Wizards' game against the Heat on Wednesday night.

How I miss Howards no back down attitude.

Never should've sat Patty that long

I agree. Patty was hot. +16 in 7 minutes, 10 points, 1 assist, 1 steal on 4 shots. Rest the starters and let the bench help out in the first half. Oh well, hopefully he gets some run in the second half, because Paul and Jack are incapable of defending him.
 
If you don't have an iPhone, well, you don't have an iPhone.

Tough loss for Houston. Philly looking good.

I guess he'll have to suck it up and wipe his eyes with all the money he's making this year.

I'd love to say to that to him, but i'd rather have a refreshed looking Aldridge in the first round not a beat down guy who can't carry the team anymore.
 
Not sure what the bitching about that screen is about. It was clean. Its on teammates to call it out.
 
That was bullshit. I just watched the slow motion replay, and Okafor clearly leaned his shoulder into Gerald.

So obvious.
 
It was a clean screen. Okafor definitely put a little extra pepper on it, but he was set.

What, you think 4 less minutes is going to turn make Aldridge feel better? This team needs to win games to stay in 6th, they can't do that with Aldridge on the bench.

4 minutes this one game wont, but 4 minutes less in all the games left might. I'd rather have LMA minutes capped at 32. If we have a tired LMA in the playoffs it doesn't matter what seed we get were going home in round 1.

That was just good old school basketball. I'm sure if you asked Wallace he'd say the same thing. It definitely rung his bell though.

This team needs a rested LMA to win a playoff series. Playing him a lot of the minutes the rest of the season isn't a good idea, IMO. Let's keep it around 32-35 once Houston loses another game.

We're likely going home in the 1st round no matter who we face. There's no evidence to prove whether resting Aldridge or not this late in the season will actually make a significant difference, but it IS likely that we lose more games with him playing less minutes (There's no one behind him). I'd rather win more games, and I think Nate would agree.

Winning more games is pointless at this point if we just tire out our best shot of advancing to the second round (which is LMA). If your fine getting to the playoffs and not having a chance thats great, i'm not down with getting into the playoffs knowing we have no chance of advancing. Would rather get a lottery pick then that.

I'd like to think that Nate would want to win two more playoff games than last year, as opposed to 2 more regular season games this season.

Will you again be one of those pounding on Nate if they get a first-round loss, yet he continues to play LMA heavy minutes in the regular season to get the 6th seed?

I'm not sure Nate would agree that a first round exit is a foregone conclusion.
