We better prepare ourselves cuz Gilbert Arenas is going to scorch us easily.

-Caron Butler didnt play for the Wiz last game, hes questionable. Was replaced by Micheal Ruffin

I just hope the team feels a sense of urgency. We cannot afford to lose any more games with the way the Nets are playing.

the nets lost today vs Cavs, so thats a little cushion for us, we gotta win this game and keep winning. i rather keep the 2nd seed and have homecourt advantge through the 2nd round. we are awesome playing at home

Miami has the opportunity to pick up a complete game over the Nets with their loss today. I hope we wrap up the 2 seed as fast as possible so that we can rest some of our key guys.

What is the streak at any way 15? 16? I'm sure the Wizards are going to go all out trying to end that streak tonight. Should be a close game.

In theory, we should have this game down easily. Nevertheless, with the lackluster way we've been playing lately, this one isn't necessarily as guaranteed as we'd all like it to be. IMO, we need someone else to step up.. Walker, Haslem, Doleac, whoever.

Expect Wade to have a huge game.

Update on the Wizards injuries: Caron Butler and Etan Thomas will not play tonight. Antonio Daniels, who did not play last night against the Hawks, will play and Gilbert Arenas hurt his back last night but he will play tonight.

oh snap!

At least now i feel that Arenas wont score 40-45 points on us....
maybe Arenas hurting his back might slow him down with his scorching to our team.....that being said, he`ll still prolly score about 30 points. :clown:

JP still isnt back, and I cant say I care all that much.

1. One of only seven players in NBA history to average 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists while shooting 50% or more from the field in a playoff series (the others are Bob Cousy, Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan). Wade accomplished this in two consecutive series in the 2005 playoffs.
2. Joined Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, and Allen Iverson as the only players ever to record games of 40+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 15+ assists in the same playoff season in 2005.
3. Holds the record for being the only player in NBA history to ever average at least 30 points on 69.5 field goal percentage for four consecutive NBA playoff series games (5/23/06-5/29/06). The last record was held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 63%. Wade accomplished it with less than 20 field goal attempts per game
4. Fifth player in NBA history with at least 30 points, 15 assists and 5 rebounds in a playoff game (5/10/05 vs. WAS). The others are Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Walt Frazier and Oscar Robertson.
5. One of four players in NBA history to have at least 30 points and 12 assists in three consecutive games (November 24-27, 2006). The others are Oscar Robertson, Nate Archibald, and Kevin Johnson. [5]

So far, a blatant lack of defense, and a lackluster offense is setting the tone for what has been a poorly-played first few minutes..

I truly hate these uniforms-----if you want to do throwbacks, these are the best uniforms in heat history- bring em back and I will definately buy these over these orange and pink ungly things we have now

Da also could play pg, as he has basically been the backup pg lately

I like the versatility he brings, anfd today even better because his jumper is falling. Him and Doleac are both playing well tonight. Nice contributions by unsung players
