This may sound like blasphemy, but I'd put Kelly and our very own Myra on the same level.

Lacey and Deanna, however, do not compare to the highlighted Wizards dancers Kathleen and Megan.

So the Wizards will win this game.

As for actual analysis...

Expect a field day from downtown for the Magic. There's no way in hell Jamison and Songaila will be able to get out on Lewis and Turkoglu.

The only thing we have going for us is that Haywood should at least be able to contain Dwight Howard.

So continuing my trend of reverse psychology, the Wizards will be embarrassed beyond belief.

A little early, heh? :)

About time we get to face Orlando again. It seems like we have hardly played against them this year even though they are in our division. Man it'd be nice to win this one and get back up to .500.

I was at the home opener when we played them. Turkeyglue and us shooting awful kept us from winning that one.

If I were using the RST formula I'd have to say we lose coz if these are the worst pictures that Pine can come up with then we don't stand a chance (I actually dig all three of the Orlando chicks).

Fortunately for the Wiz the RST formula no longer exists.

I think our squad realizes the importance of getting back to .500, and with 2 full days of rest, they'll come out energized and hungry for a victory.

Orlando's cheerleaders are all very nice. I'm no homer and say they're lovelier than ours.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Turkey Glue should be MIP this year, the guy is money. If we play D like we did last night, we might have a chance. I just see Orlando shooting us out of the building tonight. I'd like to see a little bit more of Mason tonight so that DS can heal properly. EJ is once again riding an injured player unnecessarily.

We really don't have the firepower to be confident of a win on any night.

We could win the game, but we probably won't.

Deshawn played 31 minutes against NO and his defense on Paul played a big role in the Wiz win.

I'm afraid to predict now, this is such a crazy team, capable of losing 10 in a row to mediocre teams but has a winning record against teams in the top five (yes? Are celtics, dallas, NO top five?). It's like they have exactly the same chance against good teams as bad ones. So given that Magic have a fairly decent record I guess you have to give them about a fifty fifty chance.
Help us, Obi-wan Leonsis. You're our only hope.

^^ bulletproof_32, posted that 2-3 point squeaker on 3/2.

By the way, what are the chances that Gil and Caron return in 2-3 weeks (specifically on 3/23 against the Pistons)?

We the Wizards play to the level of our opponents usually. We lose to bad teams and beat good teams. I say we can win this one! We just can't let Turk McGerk go wild.

I'm a fan of both teams so whenever they play each other it's always hard for me. I feel like I'm bi-Polar or something. One second I'm excited that Turk hit a wide open three the next second I'm mad at Jamison for playing bad defense. The Wizards need this game to get to .500 so I hope they can pull it out in a close one.

Not sure how you can be so sure of what's "necessary".

With our depleted roster, we can't be sure of much of
anything, except our guys will play with heart whether they
stink it up a la the HOU game or they out-battle a team that
might overlook them given the injuries.

Reminiscent of "LOST".

Desmond-centered episodes are always top-notch.
