PrintWashington Wizards at Orlando Magic, Nov 8, 2008 7:00 PM EST
What's the cure for a team that is small and can't guard the three-point line? Why, playing against Dwight Howard and a slew of awesome three-point shooters, of course!
Game's at 7. Can't wait to see JaVale McGee go against Howard. It will probably end badly, but I'll take the ocassional highlight play at this point.
GO WIZARDS!

Ok, this is getting silly.

Maybe Etan Thomas Will....
….loan JaVale McGee his chest protector when he goes against Super Jesus.

Juan starting
although its because AD is out with a sore knee, not necessarily because Eddie thought he deserved it.
Link?
Or did you just hear it on TV?
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
well however it happened
hopefully it works out, and maybe juan can prove hes worthy of starting over daniels from here on out
I get the Orlando announcers on LP
And that includes the annoying Matt Goukas. He really bothers me for some reason.

Are you out of market for good?
Or just temporarily

I have a good feeling about this game, but....
I can only watch a bit of it before heading out to some party…..so nobody ruin it for me. K?

No tie for Eddie Jordan? Interesting.
Only 4 more wins until 200.
804 until he catch Sloan.

Definitely not Hedo’s shot though.

Is Antonio Hurt For Real
You would think he would refuse to miss a game even if he is sore. He knows his starting job is up in the air
Naw....he always has knee issues
Had ’em last year?

Dwight just shoved Etan aside there

How is Dwight's block not a goal tend?
And our defense seriously sucks ass.

There we go
Antawn needs to do more of that. Of course, it’d be nice if he went up strong for once.

They called a foul on Orlando
Someone shoved Jamison in the back. Of course, he does that little scream all the time and it’s only called like 10 percent of the time.

Yea, he sells about as good as Willy Loman
But at least the refs give him the respect.

Juan is not playing well
Two bad shots

And you don't get the game on TV? In Orlando?
What is this? North Korea?
Representing DC with Wizards & Stuff - Truth About It Dot Net
Yeah. It's ridiculous. And it's been like this for over a year.
The biggest cable provider in Orlando doesn’t carry FSN Florida, which televises 30-some-odd games a year.
Condolences.
That stinks. CSN is pretty awesome in reliability in the DC metro area for Wizards.
Huh? Didn't Adubato used to coach the Mag?

Etan is so unbelievably bad
I can’t believe it. Oh wait, yes I can.

Hey, I remember him doing a decent job on Howard last year.

The Magic commentators think songaila was trying to foul howard
but got lucky and accidently got the ball
Right, it just encourages him to go into no-pass mode

He had a stock in the first place?

Only Dwight Howard gets louder ovations at home games
And he was second on the team in jersey sales last season.
Maybe it has something to do with him being the Human Victory Cigar
Although the jersey thing is interesting, and downright disappointing if you place a lot of faith in NBA fans.
