i wouldnt be suprised if we dont lose another game for two weeks, we play all the crappy teams. We should be 10-0, or 9-1 in the next ten games, only boston has a chance to beat us (toine walker always gets 30+ against us).

Golden State - Win (hopefully by more than 2)
Charlotte - Win If Kwame can take care of Okafor
New York - Win "The greatest PG in the game" Plays for Washington :)
Boston - Loss Can go the other way if we could contain Walker
LA Lakers - Win Kobe stinks up the joint
Atlanta - Win Josh Smith gets a Super duper dunk..and 5 pts for the game
Milwaukee - Win Put Hughes on Redd, and we win
Utah - Win ...........
Denver - Win Carmello is overrated

Thats 9-1, Worst Case Scenario :D

Right, thats what Im saying. Except I think it will be a clean sweep.

So what do you think we will be ranked ?

Considering we go 9-1, or 10-0.

Current rankings:

ESPN - #14 - We should Leap over the Kings, Bulls, Rockets, Cavs, Grizz, Celts, and Sixers. So we should be #7 as you predicted.

Sportsline- #10 - We should leap over the Grizz, Rockets, Kings and possibly the SSonics if we win like 10 straight, that puts us at #6.

Foxsports - #13 - Leap over Grizz, Pacers, Cavs, bulls, rockets, Kings, and Sonics. #5

I know its pretty optimistic, but if we win 10 straight(highly possible), we would be the hottest team in the league, even if we go 9-1, we should still be ranked in the top 7.

[Gamebreaker]

I would say we could be ranked higher than 7th, but nobody in the media gives us our props. They rank us the lowest they possibly can.

I don't know if I see 9-1 in that stretch, but it looks favorable.

10-0/9-1 is hard to predict but i'm positive we can get AT LEAST 6-4. this team is still gaining momentum and 10-0/9-1 is very possible.

Well here is what I feel comfortable with.

In two weeks, these are the teams I think should be ranked higher then us.

Miami
Seattle
SA
Detroit
Dallas
Phenoix

Im not sure why we would be ranked higher then these team after 2 weeks. All these teams are currently playing well.

Hey! it's the NBA people let's take 1 game at a time please.

Detriot is gonna bomb, i can just feel it, watch them lose 8 in a row and then the wiz win 10 in a row and go ahead of them and only 4 games behind Miami.....dreamming is a great thing :D

This is gonna be a really tough month for us. Our schedule is brutal. 10 of the 14 games left this month are on the road. I'd be happy with 7-3 over the next 10. If we can win that Boston game, I could see us going 8-2, possibly 9-1. I don't see us winning the Denver game with the way they've been playing since Karl took over and how easily they beat us at home earlier this year. And I just have a feeling we'll slip up in one of the games we should win, like the Lakers at home or at NYK.

7-3 will get us to 39-27 with 16 games to go. I'm thinking 40 wins will clinch us into the playoffs. So if we take care of business on the road against these scrubs we should beat, like Hotlanta, Charlotte, Milwaukee, etc, we'll be well on our way to clinching very early.

This is not NCAA Basketball so I could care less where the Wizards rank on all these websites. Wins and Loses will determine our ranking, not sports websites.

Yea the NBA power rankings dont take too much to convince them to move a team up. I wouldnt be suprised if we end up at #5 after a couple more wins.

:cheers: heres to the win tonight!

Well, I listed the teams and ranked them. These sports site are just another measure.

[Warhead36]

Our lack of depth was hurting us in the Houston game but Hughes bailed us out.

I doubt we go 9-1 with Jeffries, Hayes, and Dixon the bench.

It can happen but our starters will have to play lights out and our remaining bench players(ESPECIALLY the big men)will have to, using the cliche, step it up.

[Funkyalligator]

Well..we won't have too much to worry about with the Pacers because O"neal is on the injured list

Shouldnt gloat about an injury..id rather have him play since we still own them even if he scores 40+ points.

This team is tough, and now that they have Larry Hughes back (31 points in a win over the Rockets on March 2), they're going to get tougher. Woe to their first round playoff opponent

Sweeeet.

Wow, thats exactly what I had. I wasnt putting the teams in order, I was just listing who was ahead of us. So, obviously I think these ranking can be accurate.

Thats impressive that that have already listed us over some very good teams and we have been playing just 500% ball until last game. They put us over SAC ( better record ), Houston ( been playing great and a front running but one game behind us an we beat them ), and Cleveland ( who everyones loves because of LaBron.

Im telling you, this team can be awesome. Whos next ? Dallas ?
I think we are better then Detriot if we are full strenght.

I think we can run with all these teams on any given night.

Nahhh, thats not any fun. Beside, whats the fun in just reporting whats already happened. I would rather guess, argue with those that disagree with me, then brag about being right when my prediction come true. :cool:
