Re: bullets

Greetings,
	Although I essentially agree with Chris's comments about the
Bullets and the team's chemistry, in the interest of objectivity, I
have to point out that the Bullets are actually barely over .500
(36-35).  In fact they've won 8 of their last ten and 11of their last
15 (though, their schedule has been rather soft: they're 2-3 against
teams over .500).  It looks as though the Bullets may catch the Cavs
and gain the #8 (three and you're out) playoff spot against the Bulls.
To be fair, I think that we may have to withhold judgement on
Webber/Howard/Strickland.
