So, who gets a career high in this one? I'm kind of feeling Jiri Welsch in this one, going for 33 points on 10-21 shooting.

Mitchell Butler is going for 43.. I can feel it tonight.

Congrats to Stackhouse for proving that one player truly can lose you the game if they try hard enough. The last 4-5 minutes of the game were just pathetic for him. Terrible defense on Pierce. non-existant help defense, TOs due to nothing but laziness, badly bricking several wide open threes, and even completely missing a 1 on 0 fast break layup.

Tonight just showed why I hate Stackhouse. Horrible defense at the end of the game, 3 missed wide open 3 pointers, and a horribly missed layup.

He truly is the anti-clutch. Arenas should of been taking the shots at the end of the game, he's our best player whether Stack realizes it or not.

Stack is also the worst SF defender in the league. 42 to Stephen Jackson and than 37 to Pierce. Trade this guy and build around Arenas already.

[RP McMurphy]

At this point I doubt you could trade Jerry Stackhouse for a second-round pick.

Nice move extending his contract, Wizards!

[MJG]

Frankly, I was rooting for Dixon to get shots down the stretch over Stackhouse. Arenas would obviously be best, but if he got doubled, I would've much rather seen the ball in Dixon's hands.

Well the bright side is Etan is playing very well, and off and injury Kwame had a what i would call "flawless" game against the celtics (wit the exception of missing freethrows).
