Shootaround notes from the Plain-Dealer
| Tonight's Projected Starters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Wizards | vs. | Cavaliers |
| John Wall (!!!) | PG | Not LeBron |
| Gilbert Arenas | SG | Not LeBron |
| Kirk Hinrich | SF | Not LeBron |
| Andray Blatche | PF | Not LeBron |
| JaVale McGee | C | Not LeBron |
Tonight's Wizards-Cavaliers game can only be heard on 106.7 The Fan, which is annoying because I'd like to see them on TV. Alas, they aren't, so radio it is.
Some burning questions:
- Will Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison shake hands? Will they laugh and smile? Will Jamison poke fun at Arenas' beard? Will they acknowledge each other at all? UPDATE: Jamison is resting tonight.
- Will Jamison be depressed that LeBron James isn't there?
- Will we have to see Anderson Varejao tonight? (Thankfully, no).
- Will there be anyone that shows up?
- Will John Wall torch another team?
- Will the three-guard lineup look good again
- Will Andray Blatche look good again?
- Can Yi Jianlian grab ten rebounds again?
And, I'm out of questions. Here's your game thread. Since there's no TV, I'm guessing the recap will be pretty brief tomorrow.
GO WIZARDS!
