I have no doubt in my mind we win...

You think EJ might change the starting guards to Arenas and Blake instead of Juan and Arenas?

hope not. Blake comes better off the bench and give us energy(and turnovers). Dixon is more experienced and is a better scorer.

we should kill this team with our confidence soaring. Arenas is on fire and it seems like he makes everything. Marshall will have to have a big night to stop us.

Yeah i'll say it again, with guys just coming back from injury, and some still on there, this team doesn't even deserve to win, i predict we win the next 3.

P.S. is Jalen or Alvin or both still on the IL?

Both are, Jalen is out at least another week I believe and Williams is out for the rest of the season. I think they're starting Palacio at PG nowadays.

Laettner into the game 5.5 minutes into the first quarter for Kwame? That seems pretty odd to me for a number of reasons, I wonder what the point of that is? Kwame has been playing the entire first quarter lately, and he's not in foul trouble or playing poorly.

Tied up at 42 at the half. We're lucky the Raptors are playing poorly, or else we'd be getting blown out with the non-stop barrage of turnovers we insist on making. We played a pretty decent game outside of that though. Hayes is playing like a man possessed though, relatively speaking. Arenas wasn't making quite as many shots as he has been, but is still doing a good job initiating the offense. Good job by Kwame and Haywood crashing the boards, though I'd like to see Kwame with more than 3 shots in a half.

Hayes: 13 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3P, 4-4 FT)

Arenas: 13 points (4-10 FG, 5-5 FT)

Kwame: 7 points (2-3 FG, 3-4 FT), 8 rebounds, 4 TOs

Haywood: 8 rebounds, 1 block

Well now that everyone is healthy it looks like the Wizards have decided to play spoiler during the last 20 games of the season. Arenas with another 27 points and Kwame with a double-double.
