Yeah i was pretty much was thinking the same thing, though Orlando seems to have the more favorable next 5 (except Phoenix), Stevie Francis getting himself suspended X amount of games for kicking a photographer. didn't help the cause.

ESPN Insider today predicted us to finish the season 10-8 (would be 10-7 after tonight's loss) to wrap things up at 46-36, 4th best in the conference. Also predicted that if the key pieces are all at full health, we probably get to the second round.

It's just Chad Ford, I know, but I'm happy to report anything optimistic at all after tonight's game.

Looks like the injury bug is catching up with Orlando too.

At this point i'm not to concerned with homecourt, just hoping Wizards can ride the wave without drowning and stay in the playoffs. Now Haywood being out means Kwame and Etan has to step up their play, They know the road ahead of them and i think they will respond. It also means that Ruffin will probably get 20mins + a game and Ramos might even see some time. Also i think Gilbert and Larry are logging two many minutes right now Larry played 48 against the Clippers and Gilbert played 48 the last two games, nothing good comes out of playing a guy 48 mins a game, EJ has to cut it back to 40min both of them. Enterchange one or the other with Blake at times, Leave one or the other on the floor at all times. I also don't like the idea EJ playing Blake, Larry and Gilbert at the same time for several minutes i mean jeez it's the only 3 guards we have right now and it also makes us very small on the peremiter, he's just gonna have to play Profit more thats what we have until Dixon and Peeler comes back. 15 games left if we go 8-7 making us 45-37 (certianly enough to make the playoffs) for the Season, considering all the bumps in the road this team has driven over I for one would be happy with it.

Go Wizards
