I say we win this. We have played good at home lately. Gilbert sort of had a bad shooting game, so we should see him come out firing hot.

I'm guessing a close game with the Wizards winning by 5.

I don't know; depends if Gilbert and company can limit Paul's penetration. It should be a win though.

i think we'll play come back to good defense this game. I'm sure EJ must've been on them after last game.

EJ getting on those guys? he probably pat them on the back and said great effort after the Magic game. I think we lose this one in a close game.

Chris Paul is pretty good.

I liked what I saw tonight. They got a lead, whethered the storm, built it back up, then held on without looking out of control. I see some progress.

Good game all around. As a whole, everyone played well. Arenas had no turnovers, Jamison shot an acceptable percentage while leading the team in assists, Caron had another game hitting more than half his shots, Daniels kept up his recent strong efforts as the sixth man, Haywood finally used his size to muscle away some boards inside, and Jeffries played the kind of all-around game that we hope to see from him every night. All in all, it was a good win against a solid opponent with their star having a career night -- got to be happy about that.

[byrondarnell66]

Missed the game, looks like they decided to play as a team tonight.

I was really impressed with Haywood last night. He was actually powering people on rebounds and Defense. Didn't force anything offensively. He was, to me, hands down player of the game.
