A must win game, to help get us in the right frame of mind to beat the Knicks on Saturday.

Gotta watch Nick Young. Wall vs. Ty will be awesome too watch

Brewer, Dre and Al need to help off the bench.

Wiz fan here and the some fans are more excited about this game than any game so far this year. Its because weve been playing better of late and are healthy. Playing team ball for the 1st time all year, everyone is settling into there roles, chemistry is much better, were finally scoring points, Wall has found his groove, and you guys style suit us with the running.

Most of all weve only played 2 games this year where we had all our guys(minus Turiaf), and we won both those games while losing all the rest. Tonight we will have everyone again. Our bench has been great in those 2 games which we will need against you. Should be fun

No Nene tonight - he's resting the boo boo on his foot again. Poor fella. Koufos getting the start again, but hopefully this means we'll see some Manimal tonight!

Faried will only get minutes in garbage time, or if we lost Nene, KK, Mozzy to fouls/injuries in one game.

Faried knew coming into this season, minutes would be few, and he has to prove himself in practise time, in the locker room, in the gym, working on his game. Its just the way Karl has been his whole career with rookies.

Yeah Faried is a great talent sitting on our bench, but this shortened season wont allow the Nuggets to play everyone, soon I expect just a 8 or 9 man rotation. Minutes amongst the players are starting to look set.

Mozzy and KK need to have solid games tonite with Nene missing, they have a great opportunity to prove that they can help this team up front. I expect minutes to be:

Mozzy - 22
KK - 18
Birdman - 12
Al - 28
Gallo - 34
Brewer - 22
Rudy - 16
Miller - 24
AAA - 30
Ty - 34

Wiz are looking confident after beating OKC. They were unconscious from three in the first half and moving the ball really well for a notoriously selfish 1-on-1 type team.

Our bigs are playing soft too. McGee, Blatche, and Vesely aren't exactly physical guys, but Moz and Koufos are acting like a couple WNBA players. This is where you miss having a tough, physical big. Would love to see us acquire an enforcer-type big man, ala KMart.

Wizards will come back down to earth in the second half. Also, hands down the sexiest uniforms in the league.

Ok win, wish we didn't have to dig ourselves out of that terrible first quarter.

Let's beat the Knicks.

Big Al is doing great! What a pleasant surprise that he is this year & i appreciate him working hard.

Now nicely making up on a road for the crappy losses at home & tomorrow is THE DAY. Bring down the KNICKs at their house along with Melo.

Nice play by Al at the last minute. We have to thank the wizards for leaving him open. :)
