[NbdyBeatsTheWiz]

anybody watchin the p'offs down in 7 cities?

i've been watchin most the games and pullin 2 hour sessions in my apartment complex's rec center (and gained ten pounds of muscle doin it, guess it pays bein a fan) since its got cable and i don't, but i need to find somewhere to get loud and rowdy- and ideally eat ten pounds of food- and my lame-o compadres around here are watchin baseball these days

That will be interesting, but wasn't the Cavs-Spurs final last year the lowest-rated final in some time? Couldn't beat NASCAR?

I think the NBA is salivating for a Celtics-Lakers final (can they bring back Donaghy?) and those teams will get the prime TV slots on the first weekend.

That's a good point. I'm looking at the playoff matchups in the East and aside from the Wiz/Cavs series, wow are they boring. Every matchup in the West looks good though I can see the Jazz/Rockets series being a bit of a snoozer.

Any word on Butler tonight, I hope they rest him one more game, then play in in the final game Wednesday.

No word that I can find. Arenas and Butler did not participate in this morning's shootaround. Not sure if that means much or not.

[Spence]

Interesting. S_hootaround was edited. I wonder why.

Something about system performance.

This is the perfect oppurtunity for Young, Blatche, and D-Mac to show their colors. I say give em all the green light and let em loose.

Willing to rest 'em all already? Pending the outcome of the Cleveland game I'd leave that approach for the Orlando game.

Agreed, give Noodles some burn before the playoffs where he won't get much PT.

If Gil is a definite scratch, then there will be some minutes at guard available, if not small forward.

Jeff Foster will not play tonight.

I'll update the GT.

was just watchin the news, i think channel 4 , anyways, butler was interviewed and he said hes not playing tonight

[miller31time]

CSN reporting that both Caron and Gilbert are definitely out.

[miller31time]

Man, there are mis-matches galore tonight.

Indiana's point guard is a shooting guard.
Their shooting guard is a small forward.
Their power forward is a shooting guard.
And their center is a power forward.

[miller31time]

Oh my god. Poor Antawn.

[Wizards2Lottery]

wow Bas Rutten style kick to the balls

[High 5]

Atlanta could use the extra rest. Make us proud.

[Soup's Uncle]

Man, you could see Antawn mouth "he got me in the balls"...YOUCH!

[hands11]

Ouch

That was a clean shot.

[miller31time]

Speaking of kicks to the balls, McGuire in the game instead of Blatche.
