Once bitten and twice shy, I know. We're all cautious of being fans of the Wizards yet again after so many years of god-awfulness but we're the favorites going into this game. Vegas agreed. Wiz favored by 4.5.

I just can't make that bet, knowing they'll win by 4.

The lead will be 7 with 5 seconds left, then DJ Augustin will dribble around as if he's conceding the game then randomly swish a 30-footer at the buzzer. Seen it too many times when I used to cap games


We have to win this game. This is more important than the Pistons game imo, because Chicago probably doesn't have much in the tank. Would like to see us take control of this early and continue to establish momentum at home.

I have a bad feeling about this game, like we'll be sipping on the neutral juice from the Heat game and we'll lay an egg

Like the start -- at least they aren't digging out of an immediate hole

I was expecting Wall to hve a solid or great game but he's been horrible so far. Now he makes a great drive as soon as I say that. Hopefully he can pour it on. Seemed a lil out of it to start

3 turnovers for Wall already. He needs to get that under control.

He is playing good D - but his passing decisions haven't been good.

Wall has to keep attacking. Great defensive teams like the Bulls & Hirinch like to play guys tight. That get up on you real close and play passing lanes but it also gives you the ability to get a step on them on your very 1st move and no one is as fast as John so he should attack the basket all game to dish or score

yeah, our D has been pretty good. I just meant on O but atleast he's doing other things. Seems like he's starting to find his groove though

Booker gets the stop on Gibson and then scores on the other end of the court... now, don't disappear

just like that Wall. Keep heading towards the rim, attacking the basket and we should score every time either by you or with you dishing. The Bulls pressure and overplay alot so that 1st step will blow by them

Looks like a good matchup for Booker - since Gibson's a mediocre offensive player and not a real big guy.

That's about as good as the Bulls can play.

everytime we score I get excited and then we come right back down and let them score. Im not tripping though. Bulls are a well coached team with experince. I epected it to be close in the 1st half but we pull away in the 2nd half when they should be fatigued from that triple OT game but Ill take a win anyway I can get it
