Here it is fellas. 2-0 since the new wiz kids have taken over. wizards head to toronto on the 2nd of a back to back to take on the 30-24 raptors. Lets see if the wizards can maintain their high intensity play and go for their first 3 game win streak of the 2009-2010 season. are the new wiz kids as good as we think? its game time BABY!

"Bosh, who was hurt in a 109-102 overtime loss to Memphis on Wednesday night, wasn't in New Jersey and is listed as day to day. He leads the Raptors with 24.5 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, both career highs.

Bosh has played in Toronto's last two home games against Washington (19-33) after missing the previous matchup due to a knee injury. The Raptors came up short in each contest, though the Wizards have been one of the league's worst teams during that span."

I'd really love to see Bargnani try to guard Blatche and McGee down low. I know he's going to torch us all game if his shot is falling but man will he get straight facials from Blatche and McGee.

No doubt. We look a lot more Atlantaish.

Great moves by EG.

Our cap is better.
We are younger and more athletic.
We have hungry two way players
We have less bone heads
We cleared space so we can see Blatche start and McGee see the court.

yowsir!

we take TOR tonight, plus Bosh didn't play last night so he may not be
100% even if he does play tonight

Wait til Bosh has to play against Singleton and Thornton. His jump
shot better be fallin.

Just so you know, Bosh is speculated not to play tonight for us but it hasn't been ruled out.

In typical Wizards fashion, we will lose when the other teams best player is out.

I heard that bosh had a swollen ankle prior to the raptors game yesterday. i doubt he'd be back for this one. also the raptors are kind of a different team without bosh. you're going to see more ball movement and better shot selections. but yea, your frontcourt might kill us since we'll probably have rasho and bargs starting.

Bosh is officially out tonight. Expect Amir Johnson to start to match up against your new athletic frontcourt.

First time since the beginning of the season I'm actually excited to watch a game. Win or lose, I know I'm going to have a good time watching these dudes hustle and grit their way to the end.

I'm really taking a liking to this team.

McGee and Blatche will chew him up and spit him out.

7DD continues his run of solid play

as does JH

and maybe another surprise player steps up

maybe Quinton Ross? Or Thornton again.

I dont think Amir starts, does he? I think Rasho starts if Bosh is out but I could be wrong. Anyways there should be some great matchups. I hope McGee goes but if not, Singelton can more than get the job done
