A win would be nice....this should be a winnable game.

Wizards are 6-5 when Middleton plays. Something to keep an eye on. He's allegedly going to play tonight.

So you are telling me that 1-2 people could be the difference between a bottom feeder and a .500 team?

This is an entirely different Wizards team. Just hope Orlando show up offensively.

Only if he drops 35 and we somehow lose to Washington.

Paolo moving the ball well. Like most nights, he should have more assists... I like how he is moving the ball more to start games. It is a major reason for his higher efficiency as of late IMO.

Paolo could've just kicked it out

No one moves though. Bad turnover but also just bad offense with no movement... 3 guys on him and no communication and no movement around him. In his Duke days, that would have been a lob to Mark Williams.

I saw a lot of players not willing to make the extra pass.

He had wide open people on the perimeter. He didn't need to drive into 3 players and jump into the air.

Franz carving up Washington's 'defense'

If this becomes a shootout, I doubt we’ll have the upper hand. We might want to get stops along the way.
