D.C.'S FINEST - 2011- ATLANTA VS WASHINGTON GAME ONE

You should adjust the sliders, Wall shooting 75% just isn't real.

hmmm i have, but a lot of those shots are slam dunks and easy shots, I don't go for a lot of 3 pointers and risk shots, reason why my scores are in the 70's... but the new sliders are more accurate.

Try harder level.

[thatwizardguy]

Try harder level.

I can't i suck at pro level, maybe next season i try make the jump, but the new sliders have a cpu at a slight advantage... I'll put game 1 up in a min, because that was a great game, happy with the sliders for once lol.

The Orlando Magic accomplished went into the Washington Wizards house and gave all that they could give.

It seems it was too much for the Washington Wizards to handle as the Orlando Magic overcame all odds and took game one, 79-70 at the Verizon Center last night.

With the help of Jameer Nelson's 40 points and the defense of Brandon Baas seven rebounds they overcame John Wall's 28 points to give them the first lead of the series. "It's what we wanted to do, we wanted to come in here and split with them, that gives us a chance to go up 3-1 if we can win the two games in our arena, so I'm proud how we came out here and we stuck it to them." said Magic coach Stan Van Gundy.

The Wizards coach Flip Saunders, wasn't as proud of his team. "I don't get how we could miss all those extra scores in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, they were easy and we just couldn't do it, I don't know why they didn't stick to the game plan and just do as we wanted to, we played a good defense, but man that offense was not up to par this game, it didn't suck, but It left a lot to be desired from myself and the oranization."

A lot left to be desired could be signalled towards most of the Washington Wizards locker room with the exception of John Wall and Josh Howard. Wall who recorded six assists, four steals, and conceded two turnovers did net 12 of his 21 field goals, Josh Howard played well, recording 20 points off 16 field goal attempts.

But both of those performences were overshadowed by Jameer Nelson's 40 points, Nelson although he turned the ball over 5 times made up for it with 15 of 17 field goals and 2 of 2 three pointers.

"We felt that we had to double team Dwight Howard most of the night." admitted John Wall after the close loss in game one of the eastern conference semi-finals. "It left Nelson open to get gimme's but I think in the next game that can change, we Know we can do better than that, we want to get back with a big win in two days time, I can promise you that, a repeat performence of one man taking over the show won't happen again."

It better not happen again to all the Washington Wizard fans, who could be looking at being down 2-0 in the series, then going into the Magic's arena isn't a situation the Wizards would want to be in. "No it's not." said Andray Blatche who barely made a presence in tonight's game.

"I need to get open more, they have a good team But we know we have a better team, hopefully this is just a blip in what will be a good series for us, obviously we can't change history and get that game 1 game back, but history has fate and we can choose the path we want to go down."

The Magic will be extremely happy with their peformence as they try to get back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the third consecutive time. "It's all on us." said center Dwight Howard. "It's all on us."

This was either the best defensive game you would of ever watched or the worst offensive game your eyes have bestowed upon.

I would think it was the latter, a scrappy game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals occured with the Washington Wizards tying up the series 1-1 after a 66-51 victory over the Orlando Magic at the Verizon Center.

John Wall went scored just two field goals on his first eight baskets and Jameer Nelson, game one hero for the Orlando Magic scored just one basket on his first ten attempts. "I felt we played very well defensively" said Wizards coach Flip Saunders.

Say what you want about the opening, but John Wall who mustered his dynamic ways of the regular season ended with 25 points and six assists, and went 10 of 29 on field goals, not the prettiest of numbers, but his baskets counted towards the final score, which was critical to the Wizards getting back into the series.

"We are pleased we split with them." said Doc Rivers. "Now we have a two game advantage over them, we need to watch some film on the stuff we did right and the stuff we didn't do so well at, like shooting field goals."

"We didn't play our best game, but we got it done." Wall told reporters after the game 2 bounce back against the Magic. "It's going to be a close series, but we believe we have what it takes to defeat the Orlando Magic."

The Wizards held a 32-21 lead at half-time and didn't relinquish it during the second half, allowing Jameer Nelson to score just eight total points throughout the game, a 32 point drop from game one of the series.

"This wasn't a pretty game to participate or watch, but we got it done and now we are level, were looking to win two straight, we want to go 3-1 up in the series, we would be lying if we want to lay back a bit if we go up 2-1, we just want to get to the NBA Finals as fast as possible." said center Andray Blatche, who recorded eight rebounds.

The fast as possible route might take a little longer than the Washington Wizards had expected.

Is this a John Wall story or a Wizards association?

Wizards, but of course my favorite player John Wall is going to get a lot of attention, I'm also planning in drafting/bringing in a player that will receive just as much attention, but if you read back I have been unsucessful in trading for him

john wall wont play no more due to his recent diagnosis of "overtrained athlete syndrome"

[Mark.]

Whoop! Go the Crib Midget!, Meer was on fire in that one. I think you should try higher levels dude, its just important to make use of your posessions. Maybe go up a level or two but adjust the sliders to give yourself more help on defense. Also perhaps increase the quater length... 66-51?

Yeah I'm going with pro now, I'll give myself a slight advantage, and quarters are now 8 mins, gives me 4 extra minutes, which should be enough.

John Wall broke down the court after yet another steal by himself, with nothing between him and the basket. And nothing -- not even four charging Magics' -- was going to keep the Washington Wizards guard from finishing off a Game 3 victory.

"It's almost his responsibility to be making those shots now, he likes getting the game winning shots, he's a clutch player, so when the opportunity is there to present itself, he relishes it and takes full advantage of what's infront of him." said center Andray Blatche on the game winning dunk by John Wall.

Two of the Wizards top team players -- John Wall and Andray Blatche scored 20 and 16 points respectively, Wall recorded six assists and a double double, likewise Blatche recorded 10 rebounds.

"When your top superstars on the team are out performing the other team's players then it's going to be an advantage to us, and it showed it was." said coach Flip Saunders.

The Wizards although putting up 12 points in the final quarter allowed just 8 points against the Orlando Magic which featured superstars such as Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson.

The Wizards had fixed their ghastly shooting problems from game 2 and converted 53% of their field goals, the Magic did too -- converting 47% of their shots -- but their defense stayed the same and allowed massive wholes for speedsters such as Nick Young and John Wall do glide through and slam a dunk.

The Wizards after losing the opening game of the series at home, have now one two straight to put them up, 2-1 in the series, the latest was a 74-66 victory at the Amway Center.

"We didn't execute well, we didn't do a lot of things we wanted to do well, we failed in this game and we have a chance now -- to at least tie up the series 2-2 before heading back to their arena." said Dwight Howard who picked up just a pint sized six total points -- even though he went 3 of 4 on field goals he was well blocked and guarded the entire game.

While this game is certainly set to go to five games, the Magic will be trying themselves to win three straight and clinch the series back in the Amway Center in game six; six days from now.

But for that to happen the Magic needs to fix their defensive problems and start attacking more aggressively.

Those sliders were good, so Now I just need to get the time right, I'm setting it to 9 minutes, if that's not enough I will need to raise to 10 mins lol.
