Clippers vs. Wizards Prediction and Game Thread

[IndianBaller27]

ok folks, what happens in this game? Will we finish the home stand on a positive note or will the 3 game win streak come to an end? Discuss.........
I think the Clips pull up the upset, unfortunately, in an extremely close game that comes down to .9 secs.... in OT
Score:
Clippers - 116
Wizards - 115

Gilbert Arenas puts up 31 and 7 assists. Jamison gets 25.

is this a youngskin prediction? trying not jinx the team or you really believe we'll have a letdown? i can see how a team can be ripe for an upset after a big win but i think this team understands evey game is important.. especially when we have 14 of the next 20 games on the road after this.

WizLets 107-99

[guinness4health]

The Washington Wizards are for real. Just ask the teams with the NBA's three best records.

The Clippers have lost nine of their last 10 road games - five of the last six by five points or fewer.

Washington has won four straight against Los Angeles.

Wiz win this one 105-97.

I think the Clips pull up the upsetDidn't you predict the Spurs would win? Well, we need a gloom and doomer in here, since the rest of us are all caught up in Bullets-mania and unable to think straight. [I know that's true for me.]

Bullets 109
Clippers 98

[candeeman]

wiz 110
clips 103

Haywood and Thomas have big night!

[sniksog]

Wiz 107
Clippers 93


I think this the game where the zards can finally put someone away early and keep it that way.

Wizards 121

7 players get in double figures for the Wiz wit Gil gettin 28 to lead the way

[lakeskin]

The Clippers have been on the road for awhile now and they are getting tired.

This one is a blowut victory for the Wiz. If they dont win by 20 its cuz the CLips will make the score respectable in a meaninless 4th.

108-91, Wiz win.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

wiz win, 102-89.......

[IMALILTEAPOT]

im trying not to be optimistic, i say we lose 111-90.

[tommahawk]

The Wiz lead after one quarter 22-17.
Arenas has 10 points, but Haywood impressed with 7 points 5 Reb.

[tommahawk]

Arenas has 17 points 3 three pointers.
Wiz are leading at the half 40-35

[Jimreaper007]

Should this game have been that close?

[Santheb]

Did anyone read Dunleavy's lips? hehe.

[GibbsRules!]

On a side note...Michael Jordan was the one who gave Bobby Simmons a chance here. Part of me wishes Simmons was still here. He is turning into a nice player...

[Dre-The-Great]

Great win by the good guys...and Dunleavy was hilarious...30-19...how sweet it is...now we have to get the Pistons back tomorrow night

[split3clemente]

no one touched dat dude when he was diving out of bounds for da ball, juan shoulda shot the technical free throw, but w/e a wins a win, the detroit game tomorrow is HUGE....go wiz

[RedskinsVision]

almost a letdown and a sluggish game overall.. but Arenas is the energizer bunny.. just keeps going and going. if Arenas had gone with his coin toss then we would've been playing against him tonight and would've lost this game. thank you Gilbert Grape!

[Jimreaper007]

Well this is a very positive sign actually because the Zards one a lame game after winning a huge one.

They had every reason to tank this game but even though they played sluggishly....they won.


YOU DO NOT GET STYLE POINTS......

Good Win!

The wife and I attended the game. It was a great time...and the crowd really started rocking at the end of regulation. I have even more respect for Gilbert after watching him live. He is so explosive.

Watching Dunleavy get tossed was awsome!

Sound like you and the lady had fun. I am glad to hear the Wiz crowd is becoming less corporate and more fan friendly.


SIDENOTE: Man has Dunleavy aged....I was sitting there and remembering him from the Lakers and thinking this is what happens when you go from heaven to hell in basketball terms.

[IndianBaller27]

yes! Four straight! Once again, Gil came up big with 35 points. I didn't know who won until 5 mins ago cuz I went and saw Hitch yesterday. I don't think we will win tonight. Chauncey Billups will kill us once again in the final minutes.

[IMALILTEAPOT]

Arenas did an impression of reggie miller in that game, he shot a 3, stole the inbound then put up the 3 again. that was great. did anyone see when hayes and arenas both jumped up to get that ball and they landed on the scorers table? THAT was hustle, that should be on one of those highlight reels. I wish Dixon made that layup

look at this quote

"I thought I got pushed," Brunson said. "Those are crucial calls. We're not the type of team that can erase mistakes like that and we need those calls.

wow, he has faith in his team
