Wiz favored by 10.5 points in this one. If I was a better I definitely take Orlando as they have played the Wiz very well and are coming off a solid win vs the Heat.

If I am remembering right, Wall slacks off Payton a lot and he beat us from 3 pt land last time. Hopefully he actually plays attentive defense tonight rather then gambling for steals. I also expect Morris to give up way too many put back dunks to Gordon.

BTW, not sure why ORL let Dedmon go, he is having a monster year. Of course, I'm not sure why we didn't simply sign him instead of paying a fortune for Ian and **** ourselves over. #FireEG

Hoping for a strong Beal and Porter outing for my fantasy team, hah.

Hopefully we'll hear about a Wizboard member pounding some Fireball and then having an entertaining encounter with Ted.

It's cause we don't have RC Buford and Pop.

Feeding Gortat on the first possession never works. I think it's 5 games in a row where he's missed his first shot.

The starters have lost their mojo since the all star break.

Our front-court could get eaten up. Gordon is too quick for Markieff and Gortat seems lost on defense. We need to go small tonight.

This team seems to lose all its bite vs shotblockers, Gobert, Ibaka, Biyombo...

Glad that Gortat is coming out of the game. Dude needs to spend some time on the bench.

Beal is involved is every basket so far. Edit : posted that before the last one obviously.

Beal looks sharp on offense. Jumper is wet and his moves to the basket are smooth, hopefully he can keep it up all game.

For every Markieff alley-oop there's a missed Markieff alley-oop. Wall is such a gifted passer but Morris has short arms. Average passers can hit someone like Whiteside or DeAndre Jordan with 100% success.

A Mahinmi postup really? Nothing better to run on offense?
