This could be a blowout win. This could be a blowout loss. Nobody has any idea how the Wizards will play on any given night. The fact that Atlanta is just 8-25 is totally irrelevant as a predictive tool.

Agreed, I have zero idea how this team will respond to what SHOULD be a momentum-building win against the C's.

I was just about done with this team following the Nets loss, but then they win big vs the shorthanded Magic and win in thrilling fashion on the road on national TV vs the Celts. I never learn from my mistakes so I'm predicting another big win in which the starters dominate, the bench dominates, and even lowly Chris McRib dominates. I refuse to learn how to spell that guy's name.

The next 12 games is where we make a run. Calling it now, we go 9-3 or 10-2.

Kind of OT, but I feel like we’re going to end up as the 4th seed, but match up against Cleveland in the 2nd round even though we matchup better against Boston this year compared to last year /:

I'm not very confident that Cleveland will finish with the #1 seed. That's an old team and a team that knows that the regular season isn't all that important. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they ease up on the accelerator at some point this year and slip behind Boston and/or Toronto in the standings. Indeed, I think they might prefer to face Toronto in the 2nd round instead of us so they might intentionally throw a few games to make sure they don't get the 1st seed.

This all assumes that the Wizards get their act together and pull ahead of Indy and Detroit, which is no sure thing.

Beal is in a real funk. Cold from 3, cold from the line (unacceptable to be bricking so many ft's) and he's even missing bunnies at the rim.

Last game I thought Porter played well, shot well, did what he did to earn his $. Wall was shooting poorly again, but made up for it with a great passing game and played good defense too, which is what he needs to do when he can't score.

Hoping Beal improves from both lines this game and we continue this run.

That is much more likely than going 3-9 or 2-10.

I hope you're right.

Hawks have been scoring a lot of points lately. Wiz not focused will yield an embarrassing L.

I hope Otto isn't outplayed by Prince or something like that..

Granted it's on lower usage, but Nate has surpassed FAH1223 and currently holds the highest winning percentage of any Wizards thread starter this year. Nate33, the Winmaker.

Is that an actual picture of Nate and Mrs. Nate?

It really is remarkable. I'm usually the kiss of death for this team. Seriously, almost all of my threads end in losses. It's why I so rarely start them.

We’ll win but it will be way closer than it should be with maximum effort given only at the very beginning and end of the game.

Anyone have some good 411 on tickets for Sunday's game against the Bulls?

I am thinking about bringing my whole family up (4 of us) from Cville and haven't been to a game yet this year.

My wife is cheap... so she wants us to get nosebleeds. I hate sitting up there and would prefer 100s or 200s.

These days, what is the best way to get reasonably priced tix in one of the bottom two rings?

I likey. Is this just a gift shop item or is this an alternate jersey that the team will wear?

Looking for nate's 15 game win streak and for Millie to consistently reengage to tell us why this team will win it all this year.

Winning streak should be safe with Nate as our lucky charm :)
I w on't be watching but check the boxscore before my work. I hope disappointing loses with teams under .500 are finally over.
