But Daniels' confidence has definitely rised and is putting in solid numbers off the bench, scoring-wise and assist-wise. Daniels is the only consistent performer off the bench for the Wizards, but Etan Thomas has been playing well lately starting in the spot of Haywood. Jalen RoseThe Wizards need to tighten up on defense on Crawford and Rose, both like to shoot from the perimeter, and should not be underestimated on their outside game. I've always like Rose's game for some reason, despite his age, he still can score points in a hurry, has the ability to slash to the hoop, or knock down 3's. I kind of wanted him to join the Wizards in the off-season because we need that deadly shooter that we can count on late in games, and there were a bunch of rumors him leaving the Raptors. PREDICITONSArenas: 34 pts, 4 rebs, 6 astsButler: 25 pts, 8 rebs, 3 astsWiz win 107-92----------------------------------------------------Yeah I dont make the best previews ever, and the knicks lineup I posted is probably dead wrong...if someone can give me some help that'd be great.
It should be an easy win for the Wizards as long as we tighten up on defence and keep working the ball with Jamison Caron and Arenas. We need a confidence booster after the spurs and houston losses. heh funny picture of crawford. Btw update ur wizards record in ur sig Zards

rose is injured. he's prob not playing. marbury is prob out for the season so that starting lineup is wrong. yesterday brown started crawford, nate, malik rose, woods and curry.

The Wizards are a great 3 point shooting team and the Knicks aren't exactly the best perimeter defensive team. This game is going to be over before you know it, if they don't do anything about it.</span><u>Control The Ball</u>: <span style="colorrange">The Knicks lead the league in turnovers per game with 17.6 and they go against a very alert Wizards' defense. They're going to have to control the ball and think or the Wizards are going to easily deflect the ball and go in for a fastbreak.</span><u>Pass The Roc</u>: <span style="colorrange">The Knicks are 19-53 and their offense partly reflects on it. The Knicks don't pass the ball much being last in the league with 17.9 assists a game. It's going to be hard against the Wizards', but they'll need to do it somehow.</span><u>Make Your Free-Throws</u>: <span style="color:blue">The Wizards lately haven't been much of a presence from the line lately. They missed key free throws near the end against the Rockets and they got to the line times 29, only making 19 of them with most of them being inthe 4th quarter. They need to keep their composure and make their free-throws..</span><u>Bench Production</u>: <span style="color:blue">Last game against the Spurs it has only been a 6 man team with the starters and Antonio Daniels. Other benchers like Billy Thomas whose made a presence since coming to the team and Donell Taylor need to find a way to score.</span><u>Pounce On D</u>: <span style="color:blue">The Wizards should look to give the Knicks are hard time setting their offense and swinging the ball around. The Wizards should go for steals and set for fastbreaks. The Wizards should be able to control this key.</span><u>Players Of The Game</u>|Predicted Stats: 18 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists|30 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists<u>Prediction</u>Post Below.</div>

It should be pretty easy for us saying that their highest scorer: Steve Francis 15 highest rebounder is eddy curry and he gets 6 And they're not too bad with assists

Knicks lose, but they actually cut it to 15, 105-90. Gilbert Arenas had a efficent game with 13 pts, 13 asts, and 6 stls. He was putting on a show with the passes he delivered. Butler contributed 18 pts, 8 rebs, and 6 asts. He led a balanced attack to lead the Wizards. Haywood comes back from injury scoring 9 pts and Etan, starting in Haywood's spot, had a good game, 13 pts. Daniels remanied consistent off the bench, 12 pts for him and even Jeffries had a good game, he finished with 13. It was how easy it was to create turnovers for New York, 28 miscues for them :HAHAHA: Hope we win the Boston game tommorow. Thats going to be tough.
