For out-of-towners, the game will be televised on ESPN.

[Soup's Uncle]

Another ESPN game? Alritey!

[no D in Hibachi]

I live in Denver so I'll be going to the game. There are some things that women shoud not be allowed to do and that's buy their husband sporting event tickets as birthday gifts. My wife bought me tickets a couple months ago, and bless her heart, but she paid $70 a piece for nose bleed seats. To make matters worse my company has season tickets on the 10th row and were just handing them out cause no one wanted to go.

Either way, I think the Wiz lose this one. The Nuggets have been playing pretty good recently and the Wizards haven't.

[TheKingOfVa360]

Should be a good game. Wizards will lose big. I hope Blatche has a big game on ESPN.

[nate33]

Yup. The Wizards will lose big. We already match up poorly with Denver. Then take away Arenas and Butler and you have a recipe for disaster. The only hope is that Denver is lackadaisical because they expect to blow us out.

Looking desperately for a reason to hope, we might be well-served with Blatche starting. Haywood matches up terribly with Camby for some reason. Maybe if Blatche guards him, he'll keep Camby off the boards. Haywood can guard Kenyon Martin.

[wateryd]

i see no way the wiz can score enough to keep up with the nugs. although this would be a good game to get NY involved, since it figures to be fast-paced and free-flowing. sucks to have all these ESPN games (sunday, too) with the depleted roster. blatche goes for 23/13 with 5 blocks in a losing effort.

[Soup's Uncle]

Yeah, I could see AI goin off tonight

[Ruzious]

Anthony and AI combine for 70. Nuggs win 115-98.

[JWizmentality]

Wiz go one game under .500 as I continue my slow decent into alcoholism.

slow decent into alcoholism.

great song!

Yep, I just don't see anyone on the Wizards that have the quickness to stay with either.

[closg00]

This would be game in-which D-Mac should get some good minutes. We will need energy and hustle just to keep it from being a blow-out.

This game also requires our twin-towers IMO, otherwise we will get abused both inside and out.

If Mason & DS could have a hot night from 3 point land, we can hang around also.

I'm reachin here aren't I?

[WizBiz]

Just a bit.

-Washington is 3-7 on Fridays.
-Denver is 7-3 on Fridays.
-Washington is 0-5 in it's last 5 road games.
-Denver is 8-1 in it's last 9 home games.
-Denver is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings against Washington spanning back to 2003.

Washington 96 Denver 113

[hands11]

AJ, AB and BH are going to be BAALLLL'N

If we could just get something from DS and or NY we can hang.

NY is the one who really needs to get his game going.

Best shot for that is get him in at around the 6 min mark while the starters are still rolling. Actually if DS doesnt get it going early, maybe sooner.

He has played well when he gets in earlier like that.

You have to take a chance on the kid because he need his scoring and driving skills.

[miller31time]

We have all the forces working against us tonight.

1. No Arenas
2. No Butler
3. On the road
4. Against a good team
5. Camby owns Wood
6. On F'n ESPN

Wiz will win by 20+.

[RickRoll_inDC]

thanks to whoever fixed the starters for Denver. i had to make the thread quickly because i was supposed to be doing 'homework' at that time. my usual GT website was blocked so i couldn't even get the right pictures....


if butler plays tonight, it should be interesting, but if not, we lose by a lot....i'd hate to only be 6 games over .500 on GT's for my career.

[Secret Lover14]

Wizards win by 1

Go Wizards!!!
