Oh My! That alley-oop dunk looked nasty!! Let's get back in this...down 7 now

The mavs are a run and shoot but teams like atlanta has loads of young quick athletic players like the bulls. The wiz will play better...

Absolutely no one could get warmed up. Very inconsistent shooting...terrible. Miller never really took any shots, that was disappointing. Andray looked good again, too bad he didnt take more shots. Butlers absence was felt...Young was atrocious, Deshawn was a nonfactor and actually really disappointing on d, Foye was ice cold...tough game. Blatche has really developed that outside shot and its taking defenders by surprise...hope that continues.

Not seeing Butler on the sidelines is troubling. Hopefully it is nothing major. I didn't know Paul Davis was on our team until I just saw that shot of him on the sideline. C'mon guys....whoo Gilbert and 1 as I'm typing! *edit* Bruised left knee for Butler. Hope that is the extent of it and nothing more.

The Wiz head south to Atlanta to take on the Hawks in search of a 2-0 start. Gametime - 7:30 PM Channel - Comcast SportsNet HD

I don't see how the Hawks are gonna improve on last season. The Hawks are a good team. But the Wiz definitely have more talent and I don't think we can stress how well they played against the Mavs, a team better than the Hawks. If I was a betting man, I'd put money on...

The Wiz could never get anyone on track. When Gil tries to do it all himself or when they play 1 on 5 offense, they turn the ball over. They need to play as a team to be successful. This game and the Dallas game were night and day. And not to use it as an excuse, because the Wiz deserved to lose, but the officiating was beyond horrible. We were in foul trouble from the beginning.
