I think we take this. We are due for a home win and a big win. The Heat have lost 2 in a row so they will come out hard. Lately theyve been starting Rashard but I think they may switch that since they have dropped 2 in a row. If not then we should dominate inside. Even if they start Anderson or Haslem, we should dominate inside Offensively. Ariza can D up on Lebron pretty well.

I thought Beal had a great Preseason, and one thing that stood out to me then was how he got up for Wade and played great against him. Last game I felt was his best game in a couple of weeks and I think he will again get up to play Wade. Other then that, Wall has to dominate. He can beat them nearly alone and keep us in a playoff series nearly alone if he plays like he's capable because they have no PG for him to be concerned with and they have no big man to keep him out the lane.

I say nearly everyone plays solid, Wall has a big game, the backcourt plays well together, and we get a nice win over an elite team unless Lebron goes freak mode. I dont think he will because he's more of an effeicent player on most nights and doesnt try to go off but he might do it against us because of history and the back to back losses.

Can't wait for this one! Hope the Wiz can keep up the momentum from yesterday's game. They'll need it to beat Miami.

just saw that. I think the critics of him coasting, combined with the 2 game losing streak, combined with the visit to the White House has him hyped to get there mojo back. He always plays well here and has a ton of fans. Baby Lebron Wall has to nearly match him like Gil use to do. I think Wall will have a big game also. Hopefully Lebron tries to do too much and sucks. We have guys who can matchup with him pretty well so it may backfire on them. Plus, if he starts off shooting bad I think he could get down since he's so worried about his FG%. He might start thinking he shouldnt have listened to others

^Lol.. I wish. Lebron will go for 40+ and the W, in front of his cheering home crowd at Verizon Center

Heat will win a close one and I am sure the refs will make sure of that like the bad calls at the other games played here vs other teams.

I think I will just skip this game and check the boxcores later after the game.

Our crowd has to be one of the worst in the league as far as home court advantage.

I really hope we smash em

I fully expect the refs to call the game like MIA is at home as well.

Seeing that quote from LBJ doesn't give me a lot of confidence.
I'll be there. Hope for the best, expect the usual.

Disgusting

Honestly should be a 15 game suspension. What happened to honor?

[Jay81]

can someone tell me why we cut a lottery pick in Kendall Marshall and didnt give him a chance. We are the last team that should be cutting lottery picks in their 2nd years. I know he isnt a great player on offense but he is putting up sick numbers in LA while we have to use Garrett Temple?

I wonder if Ted is fuming about this but I would think this would be Ernie's last straw. We cut our backup point guard who is now averaging a double double in LA in a season where we have no backup pt guard

A true shame. 5 years ago VC used to boo Lebron harder than any arena in the league.

We've discussed it several hundred times - literally. What's it got to do with the Wizards vs Heat game? Why did we draft Kenny Green instead of Karl Malone?

Might be good if Lebron goes into scoring mode. I'd prefer facing scoring Lebron versus scoring/fascilitating Lebron. What kills you versus the Heat is the complimentary players knocking down wide open Js.
