will the absence of Blatche and our playing better be enough
for us to actually win against a team that normally crushes us,
esp in ORL? They are seriously struggling but then again, it's
been a while since they played us.

Orlando owns us. This is a guaranteed loss.

Thanks, I just did this real quick one day at work when i was bored. It's just a photoshop template I update. Then I just use image shack to host it.

The Wiz need their backcourt to take over this game. It's a great matchup for Wall, and it's about time Young wins his matchup with Reddick - at least don't give up wide open 3's to him. Also, Turkeyglu has looked dog tired lately. Vesely should match up much better against Anderson than Booker does - though Book can pound him some. And of course... there's the center matchup. The hope would be to get Howard in early foul trouble.

ORL is on a slump, but Howard always owns McGee, and they always blow us out when they play at home. ORL wins big 104-80.

An alternate plan with that in mind would be Seraphin with Booker when Howard is in the game. Even Vesely would probably have more success against Howard than Javale McGee does.

Javale cannot match the physicality of Dwight Howard but Seraphin can at least make him work harder inside.

This will probably go poorly for the Wizards. I think Ryan Anderson will have a huge game and Howard will get his, too.

Back-ups and 2nd-unit scrubs, have a history of getting their career highs dating back to the EJ day's. So the questions becomes, who's turn will it be tonight?

Nelson & J-Rich are out and we may actually be playing better than them right now. They make our O look like the greatest show on Hardwood right now. God I hate our system and I think it doesnt play to Wall or most penetrating PG's style so we will never be great until that changes but I have some hope that we can matchup well tonight. Howard kills McGee but he struggled against Battie last game & Seraphin should be able to hang somewhat.

They always kill us with 3's but guys like JV & Book should matchup well. Wall & NY should kill there backcourt while Shard actually can matchup well with Turk instead of being a mismatch against us at the 3 like he normally is. Just have to wait & see. Also, JV gets killed by the big strong 4's but Anderson isnt that so it plays into our hands. He's very good but JV matches up well against guys like that

Bad start for Wall, 3 bricked jumpers and a wild layup attempt.
