Ugh...was following this one on Sportacular...tough loss, even though the Wizards are playing better ball than they had been (beat Denver last night). Sorry to hear about Smith's injury...sucks for the kid and is a depth killer.

Just a contusion. He will be back this season. Great news

Glad to hear that...sounded like it was more serious. Our struggles on the 2nd of a back-to-back continue, though. Glad we don't play again until Wednesday.

But why isn't Robinson playing? All the possible explanations seem silly. It could be because he sucks, but I doubt that. Maybe he's so dumb that he can't even make a coordinated move without practice, but that seems highly unlikely as well.

But I think the real reason is that McHale wanted to continue his small ball gimmick and because he values team chemistry stupidly much. Its basketball, not the MCAT. He can get 10 minutes and help rebound, which is something they desperately needed tonight.

Maybe we will see him Wednesday after they've had a chance to get in a couple of practices...the trade was just Wednesday and then they hit the road for a back-to-back.

Delfino in the starting lineup is a failed experiment.

The players we sent to Sacramento haven't passed physicals yet, so they can't play. Trust me T-Rob would've started and played 30+ minutes if he had been cleared to play. On Wednesday he should be in the starting lineup. It's definitely hurting us that sacramento isn't rushing their physicals, but what can you do.

We just beat the #2 seeds in both conferences and this was the third game in four nights. Those are tough games to win. Relax bud!

Ummmm no I'm with him. We just lost to the WIZARDS. the fugging WIZARDS. That's a bad thing.

It's a schedule loss, though. Back to back on the road, 3rd game in 4 days.

The last 3 times we had a back to back on the road and 3 games in 4 days:
Loss at LA Clippers
Loss at Minnesota
Loss at Philadelphia

Especially with the minutes these guys are having to play because of the shortened bench and the guys playing out of position... if you're surprised we blew a 17 point 1st half lead down the stretch, you're just not paying attention.

We can't lose to the crappy Wizards when the Lakers are starting to heat up.

I will trade 2 wins against OKC and Brooklyn for a loss to Washington all day long. Again, those games are very tough to win regardless of the opponent.

You guys have an easy schedule down the stretch. If anybody tanks in March/April it will be Utah.

I finally agree with something this guy said.

Losing to the Warriors sucked but it is going to happen every now and then. We have a pretty easy stretch coming up. Should go at least 8-3 over the next 11 games. Can't afford to build these large leads and then just go cold out of nowhere.

Next 11:
Bucks
@ Magic
Mavericks
@ Mavericks
@ Warriors
@ Suns
Suns
T-Wolves
Warriors
Jazz
Cavaliers

If we go worse than 8-3, I'll be upset. Plus this season might ultimately result in this thread title.
