<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The day between games during the regular season normally would be filled with some shooting, conditioning and perhaps watching some film. But Washington coach Eddie Jordan put the Wizards through a more strenuous practice than usual yesterday to keep them sharp and focused on tonight's Game 4 of their opening-round playoff series against the Chicago Bulls at MCI Center. "We practiced hard," Jordan said. "No shooting games, no walk-throughs. We worked hard at some other things, and they know it's about business." You just never know. You can go in the locker room, and the guys will look all jacked up, and you might lose by 30. Then you can come in and look at the guys, and we might win by 30. You just never know." Kwame sick Kwame Brown, who played a season-low four minutes in the Wizards' 117-99 victory in Saturday's Game 3, was excused from practice with a stomach virus. Jordan said he expected Brown to be available tonight. Brown has seen his minutes and production slip since he opened the series with 13 points in 35 minutes. Brown played 21 minutes and scored two points in Game 2 and did not score Saturday. Jeffries struggles Wizards starting power forward Jared Jeffries has scored just 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds through three playoff games. </div> Source
Brown's production fell in the second game because he wasn't given the ball. In game 1, he was given the ball...he produced, why did they stray away from him in game two? It makes no sense. Hopefully he is available tonight. I hope all the the Wizards realize that if we lose tonight, kiss the series goodbye. We need this win, hopefully we can continue our roll from game 3 into game 4 and head back to the Windy city with the series notted up.
