Never realized the Wizards had such a veteran-heavy team. Ball, Weal and Porter are the only young 'uns.

I think this one is going to be tough for us. Nene or no Nene. I think Wall is going to love this matchup.

Too many offensive threats to account for on that Wizard roster. Either Kobe or Young are going to have play monster games for us to stick around.

This could get ugly real quick if the Wizards run. Wall on the break scares me.

Wall's speed alone may be too much for the Lakers.

Yeah we have the oldest roster in the NBA.

Blair, Seraphin and Glen Rice are the only other young guys.

Good luck guys. Wiz are 0-2 in the new blue jersey and you all are undefeated vs the East. Streaks on the line. Also if the Wiz win it'll be the first time ever WAS has beaten LAL 4 in a row.

This is going to be a tough win. Lin is going to have his work cut out for him trying to defend Wall. Same with Kobe and Beal.

Seems some folks here aren't aware of the history between Wall and Lin. I'll put it this way, Lin has shut Wall down previously while scoring at will on him. Not saying it will happen tonight but this isn't any automatic Wall will dominate Lin matchup. There's a youtube of this at a summer camp where Wall was highly touted and Lin wasn't. In the NBA, Lin has held his own in most games against Wall.

Problem is, Lin isn't unleashed. He was playing more that way against Minnesota in the 18/11 game and that's the way he needs to be used tonight to have a decent to good game.

Yes, Lin in the summer camp, Linsanity, another game in Houston. We'll see.

Anyways, this is it! Elite of the L'east!
