Which Antawn will show up to this game, the one that shoots about 50%, or the one that shoots about 25%? [*]<font color="navy">Kawme</font>- In 23 minutes last game, he scored 9 pts and grabbed 9 boards. I think we will see about 30 minutes from him tonight, and those will be important minutes. He is going up against Emeka Okafor, candidate for Rookie of the Year Award. We need Kwame to show up offensively, defensively, and aggressively. We need an aggressive Kwame in this one. [*]<font color="navy">Offensive Boards</font>- I think we are going to have a bad shooting night, just a feeling I have, so offensive boards are really important. If we can grab offensive boards, not only will it tire the Bobcats out on D, it will break their confidence. [/list] <font color="orange">Charlotte:</font> <ul> [*]<font color="orange">Take Control of Game</font>- Charlotte is 0-2 against the Wizards this year, they need to come in here and take control of the game, get the crowd behind them and run with that, or else they will be 0-3 against the Wizards this year. [*]<font color="orange">Emeka</font>- No one thought is offensive game would be this good at this stage, all the scouts thought he would struggle a little in his first year from the offensive end, but he hasn't. This is no game for him to start struggling either, he needs to get atleast 15 and 10 for the Bobcats to win. [*]<font color="orange">Play with Heart</font>- Charlotte has looked good all year for an expansion team, no one thought they would come in and make the playoffs, they obviously won't, but they are headed in the right direction. Just come into this game and play with heart, play until the buzzer sounds at the end of the 4th. I doubt they win, but ya never know..

I take Washington 102-94.
