@ Time: 8:30 Place:American Airlines Center TV: CSN, NBALP ---------------------------------- Records: Washington: 6-10(5th Atlantic) Dallas: 11-6(first in the midwest) ----------------------------------- Probable Starters: Washington-Chris Whitney, Larry Hughes, Christan Laettner, Kwame Brown, Brendan Haywood Dallas-Steve Nash, Mike Finley, Antawn Jamison, Antoine Walker, Shawn Bradley ----------------------------------------------------------- Out: Washington- Arenas(IL) Stackhouse(IL) Etan Thomas(no word yet) Dallas: Dirk(doubtful) Tariq Abdul-Wahad(IL) Jon Stefansson(IL) ------------------------------------ Keys to Victory: Washington- The Wizards beat the Mavericks at home because they got Arenas rolling early and nice play by their big men, but with Arenas out Juan Dixon is going to have to pick up the slack off the bench. The Wizards need their big men to step up and get some boards and gets some buckets, and they will need some seriously good play from Larry Hughes who needs to look to pass on the break Dallas-Dallas needs Jamison to play well since Dirk is absent and They need to outrebound the Wizards...Antoine should have a big game with Kwame guarding him on the perimiter and they will need strong bench play, they also need to run, run, run. ------------------------------------------ Prediction: Even with dirk out, it is too much firepower for the Wizards to handle...Dallas takes it 105-96
Very nice preview VA, keep it up. :thumbsup: I would have to say the Mavs in double figures. The Wizards really don't stand a chance, especially without Arenas and Stackhouse. The Mavs have literally been untouchable at home, good luck Wizards.
