GT #65: Wizards (33-31) @ Magic (19-47) 7 PM CSN

Brooklyn has been playing better as of late. Funny that the turning point of their season may be Jason Kidd and the way he dresses. They are 10-21 when Kidd wears a suit and tie and 23-9 in his current attire.

Does he wash it in between games or just keep wearing the same suit over and over, overcoming the opposition with the smell? Maybe he'll trun out to be one of those crazy-like-a-fox coaches.

Wall showed "playoff heart"

Im not sure if we should get too worried about the ankle sprain being on the same leg as his stress injuries. He clearly rolled it on the foot of whichever Magic player it was. I dont think stress injuries played any part. If anything, at least he'll be able to give that leg a rest for a few days. It was more coincidence that it was that leg rather than correlation with past injuries.

Webster is not himself though, that much is clear, so starting Webbo might not be so fantastic for us. I thought Beal played a good game tonight btw.

With Miller, Temple, Webster and Porter we should be fine. I'd like to see Temple start. I'd love to see us call up Rice too, see how hungry he is. I also have a feeling that if we let Porter have more time playing alongside John we might finally see why he was #3.

Ariza, Booker & Webster: 15 fouls to give. Punish Paul Pierce (3Ps). Don't injure him but, make him "hear footsteps".



Get out the brooms, the dustpans & the trashcans. Sweep up the Nets and dump them. Hard.

Things may be evened out with Brook Lopez's absence...

I like the Wizards' chances even without Beal.

The key to the Nets success has been going "small" with Pierce @ the 4 → http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=10591570 ... Gotta turn it against them. Foul trouble for Pierce would solve a lot of that.

Where is NBA dress code gestapo when you need them?

Is GR JR able to be recalled in time for this one? Porter will probably get some minutes but he really shouldn't be playing at the 2 if possible. A Miller, GR, Porter, Seraphin, Gooden bench lineup would be interesting in Beal's absence.

^^^^^ Yessiree! That was THE play. Beal may have some holes in his game but suggestions that his presence and contributions won't be missed if he's out with an injury are insane.
