Starting Lineups:
Hornets
PG: Chris Paul
SG: Morris Peterson
SF: Peja Stojakovic
PF: Melvin Ely (no David West according to Ivan)
C: Hilton Armstrong (Tyson's off according to Dave)
Wizards
PG: Antonio Daniels
SG: DeShawn Stevenson

Let's hope we play better. Juan, Antawn and AD are all back, and I assume David West is playing for the Hornets.
GO WIZARDS!
