He was also the first Wizard out of the locker room. To make his future in Washington even more of a longshot, the nameplate above his locker stall already was missing when reporters filed in for postgame comments.</div> Link EJ has really had a lot of problems with Haywood. A lot of times him not playing has nothing to do with him being bad. I mean Michael Ruffin is getting more court time than him, and he's attrocious. Haywood usually does something positive for the team, mainly on the defensive end when he's on, I don't understand why EJ couldn't let go of the personal stuff. I feel EJ needs to go either way anyways, the team needs someone willing to play any ounce of defense.
Brendan Haywood doesn't play for most of the series and Ilgauskas is out there averaging 19 points in this series? Is Eddie Jordan just unaware that Haywood gives Ilgauskas the most problems, just by watching last year's playoff series with this matchup? C'mon, Z had 19 rebounds out there, and you don't your tallest player out there.
