i think we are gonna lose this one

[MJG]

Until we go on that three game win streak I mentioned the other day, I am going to have a hard time picturing us winning anything.

For those more positive at the moment than I, keep in mind the last time we lost seven of ten (it happened once before this year), we followed it by then winning seven in a row and eleven of thirteen overall.

[HAWK23]

The Laker just beat the bobcats by 1... I have a feeling this is the Wizard's game to lose

[Gripni]

Wizards 100
Lakers 102

[MJG]

We must have made a big impression last time we played these guys, as the posters in the Lakers game thread made it seem like they are playing the Spurs or Suns tonight. With our recent losing, it's nice to read

I think we win, but only by a slim margin, and I'm only leaning our way because we're at home.

If Jamison's knee is really still bothering him as the announcers seem to insist, then I really with he'd just sit out a few more games. Seriously, we aren't closing out a playoff series here -- take a few games off if you need them.

[CP26]

Holy crap, Kwame posterd Mihm.

[MJG]

Jamison going to the locker room. On that replay they showed of him trying to get back on the Laker fast break, he looked like he was only using one leg. I'm honestly a bit worried, what with our god-awful medical staff, that he came back too quick and is only going to make it worse. With any luck, he sits out the rest of this one, and probably a couple more just to make sure he's 100%.

[MJG]

Kwame is playing something fierce off the bench tonight; not sure of the stats, but he is being very aggressive and making his presence known. A silver lining to Jamison being out is that it lets me check out more of the Kwame-JJ forward combo, which I really like when JJ isn't having one of his putz nights (which he isn't tonight).

Hughes needs to stop shooting. He's got something like 14 or 15 shot attempts, and we're not even 17 minutes in the game. Come on man, be the unselfish Hughes that we grew to love the first half the year!
