Brandon's Analysis
Although most may believe that Iverson and Jamison will be the MVP's of this game, Korver and Haywood will have huge roles and will be the factors for both teams.

This game will depend on both teams' ability to rebound on the offensive end, and their defensive stops in the 3rd and 4th quarters, when each try and go on scoring runs.

Iverson will go nose to nose with Arenas, who should fare well against a speedy AI. If Arenas decides to post him up late in the game, he may drop a few important baskets to give the Wizards a break from their extensive frontcourt play, which may be used the entire game against Davis and Jackson.

Watch out for: Korver, who is getting alot of praise as of late for hitting shots and stepping up when necessary, and Jamison, who's always a theat on both sides of the ball and will rack up points late in the game if the Wizards need that extra boost.

Brandon's Prediction
I'll leave the prediction out of this...since the game is almost at the half...but so far, it looks to be a close game.

 

Wow - let's see if we can pull this out in OT. 2 missed FTs by Marc Jackson, then a drained 3 by Jarvis at the buzzer.

"Let's win one for the Gipper!" Hopefully Eddie Jordan will be OK...
