They are such a wimpy, sad on defense, pathetic rebounding team that they are nothing more than first round playoff fodder.
A game just sitting there for the taking and the Wizards scrubs take them to the cleaners -- BRUTAL!!!

Every team has off games, I wouldn't go so far as to call them first round fodder. Parker, Delfino and Moon all had awful games, Bargnani got into foul trouble because of a couple ticky tack fouls and barely played, the Wiz got ALOT of breaks. It just seemed like one of those games where you knew the other team was going to get the lucky bounce off the rim more often then not (ie Roger Mason Jr's 3 in OT to put them up 4)
I agree the rebounding was not nearly good enough, paticularly the boxing out which was atrocious. Had the rebounding numbers even been close I'm pretty sure the Raps would have one by 10+ but it was just one of those games. How many times will Andre Blatche be hitting 3's and long range 2's? Not very often. I thought the Raps did a good job of limiting the Wiz to long range shots they just all seemed to fall. We'll get them tonight, there's no way McGuire and Blatche repeat last nights performance and I would be surprised if the Raps don't win this one walking away.
