<div class="quote_poster">Quoting franchise3:</div><div class="quote_post">This game won't be fun to watch. Suns by 2 though on a buzzer beater by Barbosa to win.</div> This game wont be fun to watch if your not a fan, if you are both teams are building for their futures, we get to see young players in this game, it is going to be exciting, specially because it is Latin night, ill be watching for some nice Latinas.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">I'll favor the Wiz by a bucket in an ugly game.</div> I guess we were both wrong, Wizards played a great game coming off a 13-0 run and Steve Blake and Juan Dixon played great for the Wizards.
