Hmm. Oops.  Guess he was ready enough, huh?  Guess your close friend JB decided not to play OB or Marek  at the top of the zone?  I'm sure that scenario would be done in an emergency but it is farcical to think that Howard Washington wasn't going to be the backup guard with Thorpe gone.

Oh, and I realize he wasn't very productive but Howard Washington played fine yesterday, considering he was thrown to the wolves. He was cool under fire, took the ball up against pressure and did not turn the ball over.  His defense was fine (nothing that would stand out but more than serviceable).  If one of his 3's fell, he'd be really getting kudos. Those shots showed self-confidence and none of them were bad shots.  Once he plays 7-8 minutes or so a game on a consistent basis, he will be exactly what we need.

I firmly believe JB should not wait until Frank or Tyus are in foul trouble to bring Washington in. Get him up at some point in the first half and put him in for either guard. Make him feel like he's part of the rotation.  Washington will be fine off the ball.

On a side note, does anyone else think HW might be closer to 6'1"?  He's never looked 6'3" to me.
