Let's get this one on early. Whether T-Mac plays is in question.

I'm reserving my prediction on this one for now.

I think the Wizards win this one. I like how we match up with Oralndo. We have the type of guys that can play well against their weak interior, and the perimeter guys to play aginst TMac and Hill.

We win this one. All of our young Bigs will play well. Kwame will have a nice game against their weak interior. TMac even if he does play will play well but it won't matter. MJ, Stack, and Hughes can guard TMac, Hill and Miller. Haywood should feast. The wiz I can see winning the next 3 games against the Magic, the Bricks and The Blazers.

I think the Wiz win vs. the Magic ... I was watching espn and on the bottom updates it said Tracy Mcrady will play ... I still think the Wiz can win this as long as some of their big men step up ... the Magic don't have very much of an inside presence w/ Grant Hill leading them in rebounds against the knicks ... the Wiz have to watch out for their outside shooting b/c I think the Wiz will gear their defense to stop Mcrady and Hill but they have to watch out for M. Miller and D. Armstrong ... Wiz win 105-98

I am trying to think who the random Wizards killer will be this game. I am leaning towards Pat Garrity nailing about 6 3 pointers on us. If the Magic get red hot they could win this easily, but I am sticking with my win prediction for the Wizards.

I'll go with the Wiz as well, regardless of whether tmac plays or not.

Talking

I'm a Wiz fan too but that doesn't mean I'm going to predict that they'll win each game. I don't think they will beat the Magic- McGrady, if he's healthy, will go off and Stackhouse and Jordan will resort to going one-on-one and leaving everybody else out in the cold. If I was Kwame I wouldn't be happy either- you gotta feed the big men to make them happy. Just give him and Haywood some playing time.

I am not feeling this win. I think it will be close but some reserve will be the doom tonight.

After the first half the basket has a lid on it. Hughes is bringing it again.

The shooting in the first half killed us.

I still fail to see what Collins' logic is with some of his substitutions on occasion. We really need to determine who we are willing to go to down low and make a point to do it each game. Obviously the shooting was off and MJ and Stack starting driving in the second half. It would have been nice to mix it up and go down low. My preference is give Etan some looks since he goes right and left and gos up strong.

They fought back well in the second half. Hughes is playing great and L8 is making positive contributions. MJ played some serious defense against Grant Hill.

We need to ge the next two at home.
