Game Day Sixers
Posted on April 12, 20088:35 AM......Dave Johnson checking in.....Simply put we will have to play much better.....I thought we were in the game in the second quarter when we made it a three point gamne at 45-42 but we missed a couple of possessions after that....and the third quarter--well I don't want to think about it....Caron Butler clearly was not moving as well in the second  half after he banged his right knee--same knee he banged in practice on Tuesday---one of his put back attempts was stuffed by the rim because he did not get his usual lift...cross your fingers that he feels better...DeShawn Stevenson also bruised his tailbone but it is  hard to see him sitting out after what he has already played through.....this is the night.. the Sixers are in town.. they are athletic and they will push the ball... need to be ready.....it is the second of a back-to-back but I would expect Gilbert Arenas to play...BLOGCAST starts at 7. 6:41PM...Dave Johnson checking in....no Caron Butler tonight....bruised right knee and is listed as day-to-day...Darius Songaila will start in his place...Wizards are 7-3 with Songaila as a starter.... 6:51PM...starters are in....daniels,stevenson, songaila, jamison, and haywood....Sixers will go with miller, green, iguodala, young, and dalembert 6:54 PM...Spalding  Never Flat Pack Winner...tonight's winner is Girum Tessema from Arlington Virginia...Girum wins the Spalding Never Flat Pack which includes a basketball, football, volleyball and soccer ball.....winners are from random picks of e-mails..send your name and address to wizardspromotions@washsports.com
