Hard to predict a W against a team that has beaten you 13 straight times. Wiz lose, hopefulyl it won't be embarrassing.

[afireinside]

Well, we make a habit of beating teams we shouldn't so maybe we might come out of this with a win.

But it's doubtful.

[MiamiHeat03]

Key matchup is:
ARENAS VS. WADE

should be a good game.

Heh it always is, but I did that one last time, so the center battle was for some variety

No matter how solid we're playing, it's impossible to predict a win against Miami. They simply have our number. Doesn't mean we can't win, just that it's hard to think that we will going in.

Cmon Wizards fans!!! surely you guys could be a bit more optimistic. With butler in the lineup, Eddie Jordan finally found a winning formula with the starting lineup. I believe the Wiz are a much better team than what their record indicates. You never know what might happen in any given NBA night.(hopefully i just didnt jinx my team LOL) its a divisional game, should be a good game fellas`

[afireinside]

I take back whatever I said about the Wizards defense getting better. Heat players wide open everywhere. I could score 30 on the Wizards shooting 3's that open.

[MiamiHeat03]

Arenas was a beast in the first 3 quarters he just couldnt close it in the 4th.

Good Game thought.

[IbizaXL]

^^ Yep, Arenas was a man posessed tonight the first 3 qrts.
His first field goal in the 4th qrt came with less than 4 minutes left in the game, im glad he cooled down a bit in the end

[byrondarnell66]

Yeah Arenas played his heart out, just ran out of gas at the end as Miami pretty much locked him down in the 4th, would've been nice if Antawn Jamison had showed some guts and stepped up in the 4th, the guy needs to show up more often he got outplayed by Walker. Butler was off but was agressive and once again no Haywood in the 4th. Pretty much expected a loss anyway so, we can't stop either Shaq or Wade. 15 straight for Miami.

Eddie Jordan ... Jordan said he's not going to pull the reins on Jamison's long-range jumpshot, even though the forward has hit only 2 of 15 3-point attempts over the last six games. "As a coach, you sit there and you say 'I hope that's the one that goes in.' I just can't tell Antawn Jamison, who's an All-Star, not to take 3-pointer," Jordan said.

What a rediculous quote by EJ.
