Hopefully Elliot Williams will take Neal's minutes. I have that much to be excited about right?

Do you start him over Al? I say yes. More scoring off the bench

Washington will be on the second game of a back to back. They play at Atlanta Wednesday. Will be their third game in 4 days. Hope they're tired.

Probably not right away since I doubt he's been doing much conditioning, but I do hope Clifford makes him a starter again eventually. Honestly I don't really care who starts, but Biz has been so disruptive before he went out that I think he should 25mpg just so we can benefit from it. Our second unit is so miserably at scoring that Al makes sense as an answer there, and with the added benefit of less minutes saving him from being winded by the 4th quarter.

This should be great.

We should win this with their lack of turnaround.

so you know biz is going back to Al scrap and will be lucky to get 10-15 mins a game.....you know because of conditioning

I have to admit that if Al continues to give the effort he has recently on D that he will probably continue to start. Having said that, if he starts slacking off again, either due to effort or injury, Cliff needs to have the stones to sit him and give Biz most of the minutes.

I didn't even think of it that way, but it is sort of funny. Al gets the nod over someone because of superior conditioning :lol:

Washington lost to ATL tonight. They're gonna be pretty desperate for a win tomorrow.

Gary Neal is a 30 year old shooting 28% from the 3 this season, who in the world would want to be a Gary Neal? Hes about as useless as a ashtray on a moped. Were going to need PJ to step up big especially if Lance gets traded if we stand any chance in the playoffs.

Holy crap, you never seem to get my posts. My comment was a joke related to the tweets that Rick Bonnell made earlier in the week. Go read the Lamb thread.

This is a huge opportunity to gather momentum. We play the Sixers, Pacers, and Pistons after this and it would be terrific to ride a six-game win streak into the all-star break.

I bet Washington is exhausted after last night's game, and we have had three days to rest up and prepare for this one. I like our chances
