Game 2 Preview

Let me help you

Game two anticipation keeping you up at night?

Let's break it down and make a prediction so you can get some sleep tonight.

Guards:
C.Duhon just earned a himself a big contract next year with his game 1 stop of G.Arenas. Arenas acknowledge Duhon in his post game interviews. If he can repeat and hold Arenas below his scoring average, the series is in the bag.

K.Hinrick needs to shoot a little higher percentage than 8-23. He was The Player of The Game in Feb's Wizards-Bulls face off so expect more. (See he's got his game face on). He should score in the 20's next game.

E.Piakowski was 1 of 7. He'll need to shoot better and I'm picking him to do that in game 2.

B.Gordon vs. L.Hughes in game one goes to Gordon for doing his scoring in the late part of the game. Hughes took advantage of Gordon early on so there's the potential for Hughes to get revenge in game two.

Front court:

I thought K.Brown would redeem himself after game one when he played beyond his season average, but it looks like his knee is hurt and he may be out of the next game (or more).

Chandler and Co. were all in foul trouble. He played well in the end - a sign of a smart player. Look for him to be a bigger factor with his classmate Brown out of the game. (Chandler was #2 and Brown #1 pick in the draft).

Davis and Harrington played well and as veterans with a long rest between games, they'll continue to play well. The forwards will contribute more in Game 2.

Chapu - he earned that silly nickname - was awesome.

Chapu is going to get a lot of attention from A.Jamison. Both can play SF and PF but only Chapu defends like a mad man. Jamison isn't a slouch and so he'll rise to the occasion but Chapu brings his "A" game every night, every game.
