Wiz fan here and this should be a good game. I would tell you guys not to sleep on us. We lost a ton of games this year but we were close in nearly all of them until the end. Still, we didnt feel right or seem like we were a good team. Then we finally made a switch to the lineup. We put Stevenson on the bench and are starting McGuire and these last 2 games were the best that we looked all year. You can tell there feeling confident now. I really want to see this game for 2 reasons. I want to see McGuire against Tmac or Artest and then Yao vs Blatche. McGuire has totally shut down Lebron & Durant in the 2nd half of the last 2 games. Dude is super ahtletic and super physical. No one can punk him. Thats why I would love to see him and Artest getting physical with eachother or him trying to use his atleticism to matchup with Tmac. We got him in the 2nd round last year and even though he's a wing player, he averaged 10bds per game and was 3rd in the Nation in blocked shots while he also averaged like 6ast. He's all hustle and can do it all but his scoring is just above a Ben Wallace level even though he's staring to get better. He's one of those guys that I could see in his prime averaging 10,10,6, with 3blk and 2 steals per game.
The other matchup I want to see is Blatche vs Yao. You can tell so much that Blatche is about to take off but he's so scared that the coach will bench him after any mistake. Obviously Yao has that advantage on O althought Blatche is pretty good on D but when were on Offense I think Blatche can kill him if our Coach features him and gives him the green light. Dude has been putting all the Centers on skates. Also, your boy Mike James has been awesome. I know that you and nearly every other team he played for ends up hating him but he's been different for us. Someone said that he lost the Cavs game for us but thats not true. He didnt even shoot at the end until the last play when we were down by 3. You can tell that he's clearly a SG but the thing is that for the 1st time in his career he is actually trying to pass. Our sytem helps alot but you can tell that he's holding back on scoring and is trying to pass 1st. He's playing real well right now. BTW, Caron missed last game but all we heard was that it was something really minor and that he should play tonight so I would be shocked if he didnt go
(20,11)vs.(5,23)
