Q-Rich, Brand, and......? Anyway, I want the Clippers to lost, but the Wiz can stop the two players that I already mentioned. Clipps by 7.

Won't Gil be starting at the 1, and Hughes at the 2? Just wondering, maybe they switched and i didn't know. I think the Clips will take this, just becuase Washington will be hard pressed on the inside.

Good preview. Quentin is coming off a good game, and if Brand continues to do what hes supposed to do, I don't think the Wizards will win. Clippers by 5.
yeah he meant Arenas Stackhouse and Brown? anyways I think it could be Brand Maguette and Richardson...lol , great to see the wizards with a better roster.. The Clippers are red hot...the whole team is red hott Ill take the Clippers by 8.
Wizards did a great job starting off a 10-0 run in the first 1:02 in the game. Now wizards winning by 14 with 3:30 to go in the first.
wow, 4 players with 20+ points! the wizards definitely have some scorers. with the right chemistry, they could be a dangerous team...
Kwame was Clutch in the 4th scoring 13 of his 22...Stack, Arenas, and Hughes all also had 20 points. I love this...go to Kwame in the fourth, let the guards shoot all game if they are hitting them...if i am not mistaken we are only 5.5 games out of the 8th spot, That is managable if we can win some games...Haywood also played huge...I think he had 5 offensive boards 4 blocks...I think...but he had 11points, he has developed a turn around J...he is coming along very nicely as well.
