We can win as long as Jamison doesnt suck too much.

Beating the Raptors should be about as hard as beating an 8-month old baby in a staring contest. So unless we have ADD, we should win this game.

Latest Post article notes that Caron will start the season off the bench, with Daniels and Jeffries nabbing the final two starting spots. As could probably be guessed, Caron doesn't seem all that thrilled about it ...

<nitf>Butler is entering the final season of his four-year rookie contract and is seeking an extension from the Wizards. He would prefer to be in the starting lineup but said he will be willing to come off the bench if that's what is asked of him.

</nitf><nitf>"I'll roll with it, I mean, I'm not used to it and I know I'm a starter in this league and I have been a starter for three years, but I'm not the type of guy who is going to complain because I've been through adversity before," said Butler, who would become a restricted free agent following the season if he and the Wizards do not agree on a contract extension before tomorrow's deadline. "I'm going to continue to come and do what Caron Butler does and that's play hard."

He doesn't seem like the type to stir up any trouble though, so I'm not all that worried about any problems during the season. That said, Caron is one of our best few players and a free agent this summer, so I hope EJ isn't creating more problems than it's worth by forcing him to the bench.

Don't cry after we kick your ***. Bosh and Charlie will destroy your weak D.

Arenas, Jamison, Butler, Daniels, Haywood, and .. oh wait, the entire Wizards' roster will destroy the entire Raptor's weak team.

Time to tip off! Not that anyone was doubting it really, but Daniels is starting and Caron is off the bench.
