The momentum from beating Detroit should carry over to make this an easy game. Should be a win.

[MJG]

Slow start followed by a nice comeback followed by a squeaker of a win. A win's a win no matter how you get it though.

I feel a loss. I think we'll have a letdown after last nite

[One on One]

This is going to be tough. We played a lot of minutes last night and then had to hop on a plane for Charlotte, who is a young & energetic team. We have to come out focused. I think we lose, unfortunately.

The Wizards are a young energetic team as well. Arenas, Butler, Hayes, Jeffries, and Haywood are all 25 and younger (Haywood turns 26 tomorrow). Daniels and Atkins did not play major minutes anyways. Jamison is the only one who will be sore but aside from last year, he is generally durable.

Also Charlotte is coming off a tough 1 point loss on the road against Boston. Pierce's game winning shot may be emotionally draining for them. Hopefully, the Pistons victory is a start of a winning streak.

A bad loss tonight... the Wizards were simply out hustled tonight. They did not take care of the ball and they need to rest both mentally and physically.

[MJG]

That was just a horrible loss. I don't care about the team being tired or whatever, they were just terrible tonight.

Outside of Haywood showing some life after a few invisible games, there wasn't a thing that could be viewed as a bright spot. Jamison was solid, but wasn't hitting shots. Arenas has been fantastic or terrible in most every game so far, not much in between; no question which one of the two he was tonight. Why did we pay Caron $9 million a year to have him sit on the bench? Daniels has looked sluggish and uninterested since we started losing. What was the deal with Atkins playing 31 minutes? Dixon had a good game every now and then too, we didn't throw him out there for double his max playing time the next night.

Man, it's a looong time 'til Wednesday. Team's really going to be dwelling on this one.

[Gripni]

From the box score, it looks like Kareem Rush and Gerald Wallace really went off on us.
