--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Wizards front line has given us problems.

Without Butler, Rose, and Gibson it could get ugly

 

Wizards are ready

 

That's interesting, if not surprising. McDermott's a tweener - SF-PF, not SG-SF.

 

Gasol scores in the lane

 

Noah with the lay up assist MDJ

 

Snell for 3

 

Brooks blocked by Gortat

 

My compliments to Thibodeau for starting Brooks over Hinrich.
