Anyone going to be watching this one on LP tonight? I know I will. It would be nice if the Wiz could pull this one out and allow our starters to rest and relax a little over the next couple of days.

The Wizards still have a chance at the 4th seed since they own the tiebraker with the Cavs so at least they have something to play for.

I think the Hawks take it to the last day to get into the playoffs and do this thing the hard way like they have been doing all year. We are still short of being consistent, but getting in the playoffs is getting in the playoffs.
You know Boston will be ready and I would guess they would rather go up against the Pacers than the Hawks simply based on the athletes on this team.
I don't think Indy lays down tonight.

The Celtics should roll the eight seed no matter who it is, but I guarantee they'd rather play the Pacers than us.

Hey guys - Wizards fan (and mod) here.

Both Indy and the Wiz have something to play for...perhaps Indy more than us. However, Wizards seem dead serious about trying to win out and hope that Cleveland - who's been looking out-of-synch lately - loses out so we can move into 4th. So we won't be tanking here in DC.

Issue: Nagging injuries. Caron Butler (bruised knee) and Gilbert (recovering from knee surgery) didn't attend shoot-around this morning and may not play. Though both want to play tonight. Add to that, starting PG Antonio Daniels (sprained wrist); F Antawn Jamison (recovering from a sprained shoulder) and G DeShawn Stevenson (banged-up knee and ankle) are not 100% and that impacts how well our team will be able to play.

Anyway, hope we win tonight and ATL can rest up b4 the playoffs.

Southeast Div FTW!

LOL-Not only are Butler and Arenas sitting out..but Jamison now appears to be shaken up. We finally got a break from Charlotte but that has been about it. At this rate I wouldn't be suprised if Miami decided to bring Wade,Marion,Zo,and Haslem back for the last game.

I still have a feeling the Pacers will fold tonight.

The Wizards have been dealing with injuries all year. This is nothing new. They have deep team.

Indy is losing double digits to Washington who has NONE of their starters in.

up 12 at the half. One foot in the PO...

Indy is heating up. It's still a 10 point game but I feel a run coming.

LOL@Deshawn Stevenson starting the game just to keep his consecutive starts streak going and then sitting the rest of the game out.

The Wizards push the lead right back up. You would expect a team in a must win game(this is literally a must win)to make a run at some point but it hasn't happened. Granger is doing his best to get them back in the game though.

I wonder if Washington will have enough money left over to sign Roger Mason if they plan on resigning both Jamison and Arenas. He seems like he would be a nice player to have off the bench.

+16 in the 3rd!!!

whats the current score/ quarter. NBA.com scores are always around a 10-15 minute delay.

404 I know you have info about the playoffs! Care to spill the beans?

JoshB914 · Post #19 » by **JoshB914** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 1:04 am

Not over yet. Let's hope the Wiz hold on. HOW DID WE LOSE TWICE TO THIS PACERS TEAM?

I have thought the same thing. I watch the Wizards more than any team other than the Hawks since i live near DC.

Mason is a combo guard who doesnt drive or rebound much and isn't really a playmaker but he can't hit 3s (even off the dribble), take care of the ball and is a decent defender.

Haha i just checked his stats and he takes 4 treys a game in only 21 minutes, shooting 39% from 3. He isn't shy.
