Wiz can't Cool off Heat

Written By Chris C-Ford ---- Sunday, January 6, 2013

Sunday night didn't get any better for D.C. sports fans after a depressing Redskins Loss. The Wizards were blown out in the fourth quarter and lost to a clearly superior Miami team 99-71.  The Heat closed out the game on a 21-0 run and the Wizards didn't score a basket for 7 minutes.

It's obvious the Heat did'nt want to got through another embarrassing loss to the lowly Wizards and its also obvious that with the roster Miami has, it should never happen again. Five players for the Heat were in double digits.

Coming off the bench, the Wizards most consistent scorer, Jordan Crawford had one of his worst night as a pro. Crawford had just two points on 1-7 shooting from the field and routinely forced bad shots

Despite trailing for most of the game it took until the fourth quarter for the Heat to finally pull away. The Wizards did a good job of hanging around but without any production from Jordan Crawford a win was just  not in the cards Sunday night.

In fact the Wizards got as close as seven before Miami went on a 21-0 run to end the game. The Wizards failed to score a point in the final 6:58 of the game and scored just 11 total in the fourth.

Lebron James lead the Heat with 24 points and Ray Allen dropped 20 off the bench. Just a reminder that Miami has more firepower then nearly any other team in the NBA.

Kevin Seraphin lead the Wizards offense with 14 points but did so shooting just 6-15 from the field. Cartier Martin was next, he had 13 in 26 minutes off the bench.




Latest Trade Rumor: Ray Allen & The Celtics

Written By Chris C-Ford ---- Tuesday, June 23, 2009

A lot of good stuff in the Chad Ford article today, talking about possible trades for the #5 pick including:

"The Celtics would give them Ray Allen."

PG: Gilbert Arenas
SG: Ray Allen
SF: Caron Butler
PF: Antawn Jamison
C: Brendan Haywood

Another WOWish looking lineup (looks better on paper). Ray Allen may be old, soft, & streaky, but is a solid veteran shooter. But if the deal was trading pick number 5, Steph Curry, for Ray Allen, I would say Hell no! I'm up for a veteran scorer or big man, but shooting guards, I think the Wiz could draft one or get one cheaper.

Garnett going to Boston, along with the other West-East moves, caused me to look at some random stats.

--Last year, 23 Players averaged 25 or more Points Per Game, vs the Wizards.

--Only 7 of those players were in the Eastern Conference (70% Western)

--The Western players included Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Jason Richardson, & Rashard Lewis.

Those names sound familiar. Where have I heard them before. Oh yeah.

This article in the Orlando Sentinal shows how some power is shifting to the Eastern Conference. They mention 5 key moves this off season. 4 of those key moves are the players that destroy the Wizards listed above. Crazy. Not Good, especially come playoff time.

Solution: D - FENSE
