Got to take advantage of the fact that Nene is out.
I hope that JV comes out strong in this one, his confidence has been down and he is over thinking too much as of late. He needs to chill a bit and let the game come to him again instead of being overly aggrassive and forcing things.
I'll certainly be missing Nene blow it at the FT line in late game situations, like last time.
Also worth noting, Gortat dropped 18 and 11 on us a week ago, JV only played 17 minutes. He'll be the main presence inside with Nene out, we'll have to see if Jonas can handle him this time around..

Our bigs took over that game in the second half. JV doesn't have an issue with Gortat - he has an issue with Wall and Gortat in pick and roll. That's where Gortat got his points, particularly in the first half. I would expect the Raps will be swarming the pick and rolls much more tonight than they did early in that last meeting.
With the Wizards, it's all about Wall. If you can contain him you basically take Gortat, Beal and, well, everyone else out of the game. They just play off Wall.

Every team has someone we need to stop. Thinking like that is the mentality we need to win in playoffs. Forcing the secondary players to beat u increases your odds for success. If we stop John Wall we will win easily tonight.
