They lost to the lowly Hawks...Arenas returned but struggled from the field 5-19...14 pts, Larry hughes led the way with 24, Kwame contributed 9, and and we got 12 from Brendan Haywood <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Atlanta Hawks started hot. The Washington Wizards finished cold. Shareef Abdur-Rahim had 25 points and 16 rebounds as the Hawks capitalized on a big first quarter en route to an 83-73 victory over the Wizards. Playing the opener of a six-game road trip, the Hawks made 12 of their first 13 shots and built a 29-7 lead less than nine minutes into the contest. </div> Box Score Recap
Arenas will need a couple of games to get back into form, but even with him they need more to be able to compete. Can't wait until Stack gets back.

Stackhouse is so overated, he takes shots he shouldn't. You should stick with Arenas only, Hughes is becoming better then Stackhouse. You have enough defensive ability if Arenas comes into play.

How can they lose to the Hawks. Obviously Gilbert isn't ready to come back due to his performance.

The wizards could still come back into the picture but hey maybe they will get a top 5 pick this year i wouldnt be surprised if they pull of a trade before the all star game

I agree with Majic that Stack is overated. I don't find anything special abouty Stack, hes not consistent. Hopefully the Wiz can get bakk on track when Arenas is healthy etc.
I won't make a judgement till Stack is back playing for you guys.I certainly don't think Wizards are the worse...right now they are but when they get heathly I see them improving quite alot.Arenas and Stackhouse will win certain games on their own....Feel bad for Stack though.....Very loyal player on the Pistons and his efforts will never go un noticed.
