Holy crap! Did you see Haywood lay him out with that screen at the 3:27 mark? There must have been a little more animosity between those two than was ever let on in the media. That was downright nasty. The only other time I recall Haywood being that nasty was when he leveled Lebron in that playoff game.

The sad part of this game and this team is that, when 100% healthy, we can win just about any game (other than @ SA, @ Miami or @ Indy). However, when we have an injury to ANY of our six non men's league players, we'll have a hard time winning ANY game.

I can't see winning this one if either Nene or Webby are out.
In Rizzo we trust

Yeah, and I get the feeling it will be Nene, Webster and Beal out... we are a bottom 5-6 team with them out of the line-up.

This is an odd matchup. I'm assuming Nene won't play cause this more than likely will be an up and down game and we probably aren't better then them in a vacuum since they have this novel thing called a bench. Hickson being productive and so is Faried, but neither of those guys are physically challenging matchups. They're both mediocre man defenders so I suspect P n R with Gortat should be alright.

It'll all come down to the PG play. Wall and Ty should nullify each other. Andre miller/Nate on Maynor....dear mother of god.

Watch out for Hamilton, that can knock down ridiculous 3s as well.

Seraphin will prolly play, which help against Mosgov. In the fact we should have about 6 fouls right there.

I'm ok with no Nene, this game is a toss up even with him given the impending freneticness. Webster hurts if he's out...but I'd rather be cautious with him. Deron Williams roll;d his ankle twice up in BRK now they're effed.

speaking of Haywood, where is he? I sorta remember hearing he was hurt but don't
remember any details. He would fit a need here if only for 12-15 mpg.

Oh, on ESPN's player profile page, TY Lawson is listed as DTD and likely to miss tonights game...While they still have two very capable PGs to run the show *cough* Ernie *cough* I think we might actually have a shot to win sans Beal, Nene, Webster, Harrington et al.

Lil Nate has exactly the same contract as Maynor has. But EG had to rush to sign Maynor. I know it's been said a million times, but it's hard to get past it when we see the results game after game.

(to answer my own question)
I see Haywood has a fractured foot, was expected to miss 8-12 weeks from
season opener. He's a Bobcat.

Collison, Nate Robinson, the lust goes on and on who we could have had instead of Maynor

so I guess its official that we were replaced on NBA TV. I wonder why? I think our game is much better than Magic-Grizz.

NBA network can smell what's cooking in DC. No Nene, no Webster, no Beal, no chance.

After the rough game on Friday it would be great to get a W tonight but its gonna be tough missing the trio of Nene, Beal, and Webster. I'll be happy if its a hotly contested game win or lose and ecstatic for a win.

Personally, I like games with low expectations. Gives the guys an extra edge to fight harder. The spirit to prove something is a great motivator in this game. Let's go Wiz.
