The Journey to Win Number One (cont...)

OK, we are 0 - 10. The Bobcats are a better team than the Wizards. It appears as though the the Wizards are slated to get a lot of lottery balls only to get the worst possible pick again. Maybe they win it in a year there is no star player. Who knows. This team really needs John Wall to return.

One player I expect to show up tonight is Bradley Beal. He will be match up with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. These two may be rivals already and this may further that. It is the same starting lineup as the last game. Livingston, Crawford, Beal, Vesely, and Seraphin.

Wizards vs Bobcats Sat November 24, 2012.

First Quarter

  • Kidd Gilchrist picks up two quick fouls. That could be big. I like the Wizards going to the basket.
  • Nice alley oop to Vesely. Wizards need to play uptempo.
  • Beal needs to keep taking those shots, he needs to make them though.
  • 3:08  Nene comes in Bobcats 21 Washington 12.
  • I am sick of all these jump shots. These guys need to be aggressive and go to the basket.
  • I like the Way Webster is playing right now. Just drew another foul 31.3 left in first.
  • Nice steal and assist by Nene to Okafor. Felt bad for Diop there.
  • Webster has 7 points and it is 25-24 cats up, for now.
Second Quarter
  • I know Nene is having a huge impact on the team but I hope he isn't over doing it.
  • Taylor and Kidd-Gilchrist are the two Bobcats killing us most from my vantage point.
  • 7:30 Beal back in  32-3 cats
  • 6:35 Big 3 pointer by Beal, hope he gets hot!
  • Seraphin and Okafor are looking very good together.

  • I don't know what the Wiz did at the half, but it didn't work 64-53 8:07 cats up.
  • 4:49 64 - 59 Wiz not out of bit but they are playing terribly. Both teams are not very good, right now. This is a tough game to watch.
  • Singleton is giving me something to watch. Nice and1.
  • One minute to go and the crowd is waking up. 72-7- cats up.
  • Singleton is going after boards and being aggressive, drew another foul.
  • If not for those long droughts, the Wiz would be much better off. 
  • Very good rebounding in the end of the third. it is all tied at 72.
Fourth Quarter
  • 5:33 85-80 cats up. Wiz started quarter off slow as well. i just hope that can finish strong.

  • Webster at the line he neeeds to hit both, he doesn't but Singleton get rebound. OT.
Overtime
  • Nene slams strong to start OT. Nice way to start thing out.
  • Nice block by beal at 3:00 then Nene slams it it on other end. Bobcats take a timeout. 2:35 Wiz up by 2.
  • Good rebounding here. We need to make a shot though.
  • Ben Gordon hit a three to give Bobcats a 1 point lead ith a minuter to go. 
  • Nene is laboring.
  • Taylor travels and Wiz get ball back.
  • Wiz can't get a win 0-11 here we come.
