If Jamison gaurds KG we don't stand a snow ball's chance in hell of winning this game.

Who else should guard him??? Washington got a little chance and should take it! I want arenas, hughes and jamison to score at least 28 a piece....

Kwame or JJ should gaurd KG at all times. Twan is too short, weak, and slow-footed on defense to handle 'Da Kid'

[MJG]

Kwame and JJ are the only two I want on KG as well, unless both get serious foul trouble. Not that either of them will shut or even slow him down, but they won't give him any additional advantages beyond what he already has like Jamison would.

VERY tough game for the Wizards, but Cleveland showed us how to win against the T'Wolves!

[jazzy1]

Kwame and brendan are the only ones who can guard KG. Haywood is a little slower a foot so he would get taken off the dribble but Kwame could keep KG under control. Kwame's a great man defender he'd push KG out from the basket and make KG shoot them High arching turnaround jumpers.

JJ is far too weak he'd give up deep post postion to KG.

But saying that we don't have any chance to win this game.

I'm resigned to the fact that we can't beat quality teams with the way EJ coaches. We play small line-ups and try and beat teams with 3 players.

We've gradually eliminated Haywood from the offense down low and we refuse to give Kwame any touches. So we're a jump shooting team with the Gilbert attacking the basket.

We have 3 players who take between 60-70 shots a game now and don't allow anyone else to get going.

We will only overwhelm bad teams with limited offense.

Every quality team with more than 1 scoring option will beat us.

Wizards lose by 10-12 points.

Ernie G and EJ are gonna have real disagreements moving forward with the style we play not getting others involved.

[StraylightRunner]

Kwame definitely needs to guard KG.

A win by the Wiz would be a fantastic birthday (and belated Christmas) gift to me.

This is a very winable game for the Wizards. The Timberwolves are struggling mightily of late, and aren't getting consistent play from anyone but Garnett. Sprewell and Cassell have sucked, and are too concerned about their contracts. As long Eddie Griffin and Troy Hudson are kept in check off the bench, Washington can win this one. If Griffin or Hudson get it going from downtown though, I have a hard time believing the Wizards will pull it out.

[Shanghai Kid]

Will be a very tough game. Minny may be struggling but I think they're still very tough at home. Garnett is a matchup problem and we always have problem guarding shooters and they have an abundance of them.

[B Dizzle]

game is tied after 5 minutes, 8-8

[hobojoe]

The Timberwolves have extended their lead to 15 in the third quarter.

Garnett: 12 Points(4-9 FG) 9 Rebounds, 6 Assists, 4 Blocks
Hughes: 13 Points(6-10 FG) 6 Rebounds, 4 Assists
