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.

You are obviously not much of a Raps fan. They were fodder last year and have done nothing to change that status this year. The poor defense and lack of rebounding has been evident all year.
They quite literally only win games where they are hot shooting. In other words when the intensity level goes up they are done. Plus every rolly polly dufus they play has a good game against them. They have no interior defense whatsoever. Could have some if they played Rosho but they don't and his limited offense would subtract from the only way they win games.
First round fodder is right on the money!!!!!!!
