Tonight's Lines

Wizards at Bucks: Bucks by 1
Over/Under on Total Scoring: 189

I'm heading out the door, but I'll be back by around 8:45-9 to watch the rest of this one.  In the meantime, begin chatting here.

I'm working on a longer post about Andray Blatche that'll hopefully be posted tomorrow.  To summarize: he's not Kwame, he has his own complex issues.

There's no reason why we can't win tonight.  Milwaukee's not very good and they don't play defense yet.  We really could use this one and I'll be pissed if we lose.

GO WIZARDS!

Blatche starting.

Coach Eddie Jordan on deciding to start Blatche, who played only four minutes in Saturday’s loss at Detroit: “I know it’s a little bit of a far cry from the minutues he carried in Detroit but it’s another opportunity and let’s see if he seizes the moment.”

More Eddie on Andray: “We want it to sort of jump start him for the remainder of the season. Not just a flash tonight. We want him to give great effort and play his role and carry it to tomorrow’s practice and the weekend.”

And here...we...go

This could be huge for the rest of the season. If Andray seizes this opportunity, it could serve as a major confidence boost for Andray and Eddie Jordan. On the other hand, if Andray doesn’t show up, he’ll be so far in Eddie’s doghouse that he might never get out.

Agreed

Big chance for Blatche. I think he’ll step to the plate – though he’s been a bit immature this year I’m guessing deep down he wants to prove Eddie wrong and this is his chance to do it.

Thankfully I don’t think you could go wrong either way. It’s interesting to see that the guys from the 2007 draft from spots 12-16 (Thad Young, Julian Wright, Al Thornton, Stuckey, Nick Young) are really outperforming 6-11 (Yi, Corey Brewer, Brandan Wright, Joakim Noah, Spencer Hawes, Acie Law).

Yi and Hawes especially were boom or bust kinds of picks, IMO. I’m still surprised Brewer didn’t pan out yet.

Orange

I really really really want that orange Arenas Jersey from like 2 years ago. That was awesome.

Same here

In addition, I’d be thrilled if they brought back the 90’s era Bullets jerseys. They were ridiculously plain, but you just develop a special attachment to whatever uniform you grow up seeing in action.

I loved the 78 throwbacks

If I could find a Butler jersey in that vintage, I might cough up the scratch to get it.

Speaking of hot

With 12 seconds to go, Amare had 51 points (18-22 from the field), 11 boards, and 6 assists. Think we’ll miss Haywood when we play Phoenix?

8 attempts so far. I don’t think thats enough. Especially when he makes half of them. Also Butler only missed 2 shots so far.
