We're outmanned at every position except at Center. How do we win this game?

Nah, just kidding. This isn't as bad as some are making it out to be. People forget that this is a rebuilding team. Most of these guys are young and have yet to play basketball the "right way". These guys have been playing together for only a short time. They aren't yet a team. They have talented pieces of the puzzle, but Brown has yet to find the right equation to make this work. It will take quite some time.

For now we will have to rely on talent to win the games. They don't take care of the ball, they don't box out, they don't shoot their free throws, yet they managed to force overtime because of their talent (Curry in the post, Marb penetrating, Craw when he played in control, etc)...

This will be a very hard game for us to win. Wiz have a ton of guys who can hit jumpers. And our beloved knicks love to leave guys wide open for jumpers.

Brown has to tell them something about that. It wasn't that they weren't trying on defense, it was just that once a player jumped to fake a shot, everyone would just freeze out watching it instead of finishing the defensive rotations. The guy jumping would pass to the real open player, who would sink the shot most of the time. Again, this is all fundamentals and staying aggressive on defense, like the Celtics were. We have the players, but they are all learning now how to play real basketball...

we did well against the wiz last year so this year i am not worried about it. we need to do better rebounding and this could happen against this team with only etan thomas as their main rebounder. marbury does well against arenas. he needs to stay that way. arenas can take over games himself and make teams look silly with his speed and nose for the rim. but he is not a good as point guard as advertise as he shoots first then pass. jamison needs to out of the paint. he can cause havoc inside because of his rare speed and strength. he uses his size as an advantage instead of a disadvantage at the 4. look for malik rose to be paired up on him most of the game. limit turnovers since the wiz loves to run wih their princeton offense. the 1-5 positions are all faster than us so we can not run with them. curry needs to assert himself against thomas and haywood early on. get them in foul trouble. i think this is a very winnable game. even though i would not say that this is a MUST win game, i would say that this game will tell us the character of the team. do the team feel embarrassed after that lost and want to grab a win or will they be complacent? we will know by 7:30 tomorrow.
