Wizards lost all 3 of their home games in this series.
We can’t complain. I only hope the Wizards are able to keep free agents Marcin Gortat and Trevor Ariza on the squad
Marcin Gortat 13-15 from the field—31 points–16 rebounds
Wall 11-20 Shooting –27 points

Best move: Sticking with their board. The Ravens’ middle of their defense was significantly upgraded because the team took the best player available instead of addressing a more pressing need at offensive tackle and safety. The result: the Ravens landed a top-10 prospect (Alabama inside linebacker C.J.

After years of missing the mark Ernie has put together a heck of a good team.
John Wall—If you think having the first pick is a lock remember Kwame Brown
Bradley Beal–the Wall Beal Tandem is one of the best in the NBA
Trades for Gortat and Nene–formidable inside presence
Trevor Ariza–great defensively and good 3 point shooter
Signing Andre Miller and Drew Gooden for the playoff run–depth has improved greatly
Toss in Trevor Booker and Martell Webster and it’s … Read More »
MVP: Nene scored a game-high 24 points (8 rebounds 3 assists) and was spirited from distance in going 7-for-13 from beyond 10 feet. As good as Joakim Noah has been on defense this season, it was often the case that he didn’t have the muscle to compete with Nene.
X factor: Andre Miller got off to a slow start in the first half, looking surprisingly rusty for a vet (but also one who’s never been out of the first round … Read More »
