...And order is restored.

In an attempt to save our karma going into the post season, here I am making the game thread.


Washington Wizards [43-38]:
PG- Antonio Daniels
SG- DeShawn Stevenson
SF- Antawn Jamison
PF- Darius Songaila
C- Brendan Haywood
6th man- Gilbert Arenas


Orlando Magic [50-30]:
PG- Jameer Nelson
SG- Mo Evans
SF- Hedo Turkoglu
PF- Rashard Lewis
C- Dwight Howard
6th man- Keith Bogans

Keys to the Game:

Rest Healthy Starters:

Let's not have any more injuries. We should just rest our guys and get ready for a post season battle with Cleveland for the third straight season. Let Nick Young take every shot and score 50 if he wants meanwhile letting D-Mac grab every board. I doubt Orlando will put in any effort either.

Get Gil 20 Minutes:

Agent Zero needs some more time under his belt before the post-season kicks off. If the Hibachi can get grilling in this up-coming series it will hurt Cleveland alot. We'll see how Gil performs in the playoffs, keep in mind that the last time he played a playoff game it was in 2006 where he missed two free throws that could've forced a game 7 against the Cavaliers.

44-38

Same record as the championship team....good karma?????????

Ah...the REAL game thread! Good work bro!

Can we ban Ji by the way? I don't know what the hell he was thinking.

God bless you, and your children, and your illegitimate children...

Its still too late, the curse is out. Everyone find and pelt Ji with eggs, rocks, tomatoes, underwears, tampons and everything in sight if something goes wrong tommorow.

Also, I'm happy to inform you all that Pavlovic will be out 2-3 weeks.

Not that big of a deal but one less three point shooter. He killed us in the first half of that last game we played against them.

Sit all the starters.

Bring on the King of all Travels............

Nice, I was starting to worry.

Rotations and line ups....didn't I already do this in another thread ?

Feeling a little twilight zone-ish

Ok, I made some adjustments. We don't want anyone hurt but we also don't want to expose the remaining players and we need some semblance of normalcy and rhythm.

AD = 10 Minutes - needs to rest his wrist and ankle
CB = 0 Minutes - needs to rest his wrist, hip and knee
AJ = 10 Minutes - needs to rest his nuts
DS = 10 Minutes - needs to rest his knee and buttock

RM - 30 mins
NY - 30 mins
GA - 20 Mins
DMAC - 30 mins
Songaila - 20 Mins
AB - 30 Mins
BH - 20 Mins
OP - 30 mins

That 240 minutes

Start AD, DS, AJ, AB, BH
Bench GA, RM, NY, DMAC, Songaila, OP

This way you get to start your starters and DS keeps his steak. AB/BH gets some burn together. Always good to get some practice in with that line up for when needed. Then you rotate to mostly your normal rotations and GA gets to do his warm up, then you let the young legs finish it out.

If you want to spread the minutes a little more,

Bring back ET for one 7 million dollar game.

*kills a chicken for good measure*

I certainly hope Arenas doesn't spend 20 minutes on the court against Orlando.

Tell us to choke the chicken and you might get some volunteers

It might not break any curse but the frustration level on the board will drop to an all time low.

Sit everyone out! Knowing Eddie Jordan Jamison will play 44 minutes.

QFT

I don't see any point in playing the Big 3 against Orlando. They have been together long enough to not need a tune-up game.

I say keep Cleveland (and their scouting spy that has been at every Zards game for the last 2 weeks) guessing about the status of Arenas and Butler.

BTW, my guess is that Gil is back to being in the starting line-up come play-off time... just a hunch.

Maybe, except without the big three, or any three, we have like 6 players total, seems like. I'm five with giving heavy minutes to DMac again, try him on the three point shooters see if he can make 'em work a bit in case we need the same skill vs them Cav jackers.

Finally a chance for Pech & D-Mac to log some heavy minutes tonight......should be worth watching for that.

yeah I love watching D-Mac play, if he puts in some serious time with Dave Hopla this offseason he'll be beastly.

They should probably move in together.

Yeah, if he can even get to Jared Jeffries-level effectiveness as a scorer, which I don't think is much of a stretch, he'll have great value as a role player.
