Wiz/Lakeshow. tanking unnecessary...

Beatdown likely regardless.

Is it doc or severn? Or doc for severn again? Or doc channeling someone other than severn?



Answer: quote sev again.

What if this is the game that lands us ahead of the Kings in the final standings and we miss out on the Griffster? To say nothing of the pressure of having to do the next thread if they win or even - GASP - go on a winning streak! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!



OK, back to reality.

Actually, I kind of expect the Wiz to win this one. As I said in the grafted thread starter above, the Kings are likely to be the tired team, and the Wiz have no incentive to rest anyone for tomorrow's game, since they have no chance of beating the Lakers anyway.

I guess I can reconcile myself to the 1-win-in-5 approach, this could be the one.



Woo 4 game losing streak here we come.

ahhhh...I live in SoCal, so I hear too much Lakers. Lets put off tanking for this game. We can tank once again after this game. Go Wiz! 118-115.

you could play this game 1000 times and odds are that picking the wiz winning 118-115 will happen... 0 times.

i'm liking the figures given by vegas- lakers over 'zards 112 - 95
Bullets -> Wizards

McGee aint seeing jack sheet tonight. If Tappy wouldn't let McGee play against Aaron Gray, he for sure aint playing him against Bynum who dropped 40 the other night.

Man, do you guys remember when Arenas would drive and get fouled all the time? We have nobody that drives anymore. As much as people call Arenas a chucker, he use to drive like crazy too, esp in the 4th.

aaah, the days

Mike James is so awful. Why does Dixon never see the light of day anymore? :-?

Dmac and AJ are the only players trying for the Wizards.

Butler, Blatche, and James could care less.

Thank you, Violet Palmer for a bad call our way. I'm sure it'll go LAL's way later.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

I never understood that. He gets in like every 10 games or so, lights it up then we never see him again. WTH??
