Wizards are 6-5 when Middleton plays. Something to keep an eye on. He's allegedly going to play tonight.

So you are telling me that 1-2 people could be the difference between a bottom feeder and a .500 team?

This is an entirely different Wizards team. Just hope Orlando show up offensively.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Paolo moving the ball well. Like most nights, he should have more assists... I like how he is moving the ball more to start games. It is a major reason for his higher efficiency as of late IMO.

No one moves though. Bad turnover but also just bad offense with no movement... 3 guys on him and no communication and no movement around him. In his Duke days, that would have been a lob to Mark Williams.

I saw a lot of players not willing to make the extra pass.

He had wide open people on the perimeter. He didn't need to drive into 3 players and jump into the air.

If this becomes a shootout, I doubt we’ll have the upper hand. We might want to get stops along the way.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)
