A Golden Opportunity

When you see Boston and Detroit on your schedule you usually cringe. However, with Boston and Detroit locked up in the one and two seeds respectively those two teams can afford to rest their big guns.

While the next two games will hardly be cake walks, it will be nice seeing Rodney Stuckey instead of Rip Hamilton and Big Baby instead of KG.

Believe it or not, the Wizards have a decent chance of crawling into the four seed. But let's not jump too far ahead of ourselves.

Perhaps the biggest game of this week is Saturday against Philly. With the Sixers and Raptors nipping at the Wizards' heels it is crucial that the Wizards pick up as many games as they can on the competition.

If the Wizards can stay out of the seven or eight spot, look out.
