    Juwan always plays big against the Wizards, he needs to do so here.
    Contain Gilbert


    Prediction
    Washington is only 1-15 against the Atlantic confrence this year, I am hoping we can make it 2-15 tonight, it is a winnable game, but knowing the Wizards....we will lose by 10+

    The Wizards and Magics will both need to try to limit turnovers.They turn the ball over to the other team too often.
    The Wizards will need to try to contain T-Mac.They will need to guard him well and don't let him get open shots.Juan Dixon and Gilbert Arenas should play well in this game but the others will need to help them if they want to win this one.
    Juwan and T-Mac should play great in this one.The Magics should have no problem winning this one.The Wizards haven't played well against teams in the Atlantic conference.
    I predict the Magics win by 9.

    I think the Magic will take this one, Melo will have a big game, and the Wizards just won't be able to put it together again. Arenas and Dixon will bring it, but ou never know about the other guys. Magic by 11.

    at half the score is 49-40 Orlando...
    For the Wiz:
    Gilbert has 22 on 9-18 shooting ( he is going over 40 tonight)
    Juan has 0 on 0-4 shooting
    and the rest of the Wizards are just being the Wizards...no Kwame, no Hayes, and no Jeffries all down to injuries

    For the Magic:
    Tmac has 28 already on 11-15 shooting..that is what happens when Juan Dixon guards him ( he is going for 50 tonight)
    and the Next high scorer is Juwan Howard with 9...I dont have the game on TV because it is on News Channel 8 and I odnt have that...I have Comcast...I wish it was on..it looks like both Arenas and Tmac are putting shows on...C'mon Wiz..
    ==============
    I take that back, Jeffries is playing tonight, but is having no affect statistically

    Tmac wrecked the whole court. Tonigh was his night. He just wanted to prove people wrong.
    Tmac is still here. And he is staying for a good while

    Read the one for yesterday and clicked today's game, I was like man back to back games againt the Nuggets.

    Anyways, Tmac lights it up, but Arenas also scored 40. Exciting game in some regards, I kept watching to see how much Tmac could get up to.
