I really expect the Wizards to win this game EJ is gonna put them through a couple days of really hard practices and I expect great effort and victory.

Our Bigs are gonna be very important in this one.

I don't think Laet will be a factor at all. We're gonna need our shot blocker to keep AI from gettin ridiculously easy shots. We're gonna need Kwame to step up and play HARD. Etan also.

We need a name for our bench. They deserve it.

Juan could be huge if he can do a solid job on AI.

Ball handiling should be a big factor also.

Look for Hayes to have another big game with his outside shot Big Dog plays very little d so Hayes should get some good looks.

[MJG]

My two picks for having big games are two guys you listed Jazzy, Dixon and Hayes. Robinson has never guarded anyone much in his career, and he's going to more than have his handful with Hayes, whose confidence is probably rising with each passing game. I'm also expecting Dixon to get some heavy minutes in this one, mainly matched up against Iverson. He'll probably have the role that the Lakers gave to Lue in the finals a few years back, sticking to him as tight as can be. I think we're going to recover and get the win in this one as well, though I don't expect it to be an easy one.

After the loss to the cavs, we'll see the wiz coming out really wanting this game. I say Gilbert leads the way driving and dishing and hitting some 3's. if kwame gets a basket or 2 early, he'll score 10+ points. I say we are killing at the half 50-40. then the sixers come back and pull in tight, but the wiz come out with the win. 94-91

[CP26]

I wanna compare this game to the Giants vs Cowboys game in week 2. Giants came off that horrible lost to them. They came back next week and took all of that frustration out on the Skins. That is what the Wizards will do to the Sixers after losing to the Cavs

[JarvisHayes24]

I hope Big Dog tears his ACL!! Jarvis should be able to school the old man

[erickboy22]

I'm going to go w/ everyone here on the board and also predict a Wizards' victory ... The Wiz have overall better all around players BUT the big difference between the two teams is ALLEN IVERSON ... he makes everyone around him better ... even if his shooting is off .. he forces the defense to react and he can dish it off to Eric Snow or now Big Dog ... Plus he's a constant pest on defense ... I totally agree w/ Jazzy about EJ putting the team through hard practices ... the last time they had a lot of time off b4 a game was the Dallas game and we all know the outcome of that game ... I'm expecting Arenas to have a huge all-around game and Jarvis to attack Big Dog and continue to have success ... Wiz win 93-87

[RoyWilliams]

The matchup to watch wont happen.

Big Dogg is already declared out of this game.

[CP26]

[RoyWilliams]
