Shoot 27 - 30 FT's, and you'll win some road games.
My Powder Blues played well enough to win tonight at Charlotte, but couldn't knock down their free throws.

And the Nene situation has sucked all the joy out of my Nuggets fandom. Apart from the human drama of the dude potentially dying, the Nuggets just aren't a championship contender without Nene.
Are you suggesting that tonight's performance by the Wizards was a "dominant" one? Really? I saw the Celts lose focus and leave their most aggressive player on the bench (Tony Allen), and I saw Caron Butler shove Paul Pierce aside as he drove. BFD.
Grumble grumble, grrrr.
Woot! One more win for the good guys (anybody but Boston).
Sigh. I'm chalking up the Celtics' recent struggles as regression toward the mean. (I'm also hoping it's a 65-win mean.)
"I saw Caron Butler shove Paul Pierce aside as he drove. BFD."
Someone ought to tell Caron Butler not to be so mean to Paul Pierce.
As a Chargers fan, I hope this is part of a growing pattern of teams with injured star players beating previously dominant Boston sports teams.
I'm sick of Boston fans thinking they deserve every championship. And I've hated Brady ever since he showed up behind Laura at the State of the Union.
This was worth a patented MY double post. Defend, hit free throws, make a little luck, get hot in the fourth. A pretty good team beats a really good one. But you have to win before you get good.
Ugh. I was at the game last night. No offensive execution by the Celtics. They weren't moving the ball around at all. On defense, they were letting everyone drive to the basket, the numbers would've been awful if Garnett and Perkins weren't intimidating everyone. Finally the Wiz got a few 2nd chance baskets, since Boston's big men were out of position.
But mostly, Ray Allen just stunk, Perkins was playing until he was exhausted (11 straight minutes in the 3rd quarter, then most of the 4th?), and Doc Rivers was coaching just like last year. At one point, Rivers went with Garnett at the 5, and it worked great (got the ball moving again), and so, of course, he never did it again.
My first Celtics game this year, they're now 0-9 in games I've attended over the last 2 1/2 years, I'm starting to feel a little like a curse.
I'm astonished that people can't see "dominant" as tne jokey exaggeration that it is. By the way, Petey- do I have it right thaat the rumor is that Nene has HIV?

that win was a complete statistical fluke, on a win score basis. If the Wizards don't shoot 90% from the free throw line, they lose.
Thanks a lot Washington, get the Celts good and pissed right before the Blazers come to town.
On Nene - reports are he had a tumor removed...

Oh, you people in the flyover states are so cute with your petty little resentments. Don't worry, maybe if you're really good Boston team will let one of your sports teams win a championship sometime.

Heads in the Sand
Gilbert certainly better learn to love playing defense. That's been the biggest difference I've seen on the court lately -- the Wizards actually playing defense.
I can't hate on Gilbert though. Washington hasn't had enough sports personalities in the past few years. Damn shame about that knee.
