OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Truth About It, Bullets Forever

PREVIOUSLY, THE WASHINGTON WIZARDS...lost 96-88 at home against Houston on Tuesday night. It was the fourth straight loss for the Wizards overall (@Milwaukee, Milwaukee, @Boston) and their fourth straight loss at home (Memphis, New York).

Washington's scored more than one point per possession in just one of their last five games. They crept over that mark by six thousandths of a point in their February 28th win @New Jersey.

Due to the re-scheduling of this game from February 6th, this is the first of five games in six days the Wizards will play.

The Hawks have played and beaten Washington twice in Atlanta this season: 100-89 on October 30th and 94-82 on January 13th.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
