    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Wizards Coach Eddie Jordan said he has not decided what to do with his starting lineup when center Etan Thomas returns. Thomas started the first 20 games but has not played since spraining his left ankle on Dec. 9 and he is expected to be out at least through tonight's game at Milwaukee.

    Brendan Haywood made his ninth straight start in place of Thomas last night against the Orlando Magic. The Wizards now have an a 8-1 record with Haywood as a starter and Haywood is averaging 9.1 points and 9.5 rebounds while shooting 71.7 percent.

    The unit of Gilbert Arenas, DeShawn Stevenson, Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Haywood entered last night's game as the most productive five-man unit in the Eastern Conference with a plus/minus rating of plus 70.

    "I'm not ready to address that right now," Jordan said before last night's game.</div>

    Both of these guys have been playing really well and I wouldn't be mad to see Etan retake the starting role, but these two should be getting the same amount of minutes throughout the game. Just relieved to see that we won't be needing to bring in Calvin Booth or James Lang.
