GAME PREVIEW

Chicago (7-23) @ Washington (13-17)

Bulls Update- It's already another ugly, lost season for Chicago, although it is beginning to look up a bit: after going 1-for-November, they won six games in December. That wasn't enough to stop head coach Tim Floyd from resigning on Christmas Eve and the reins to be handed over to Bill Cartwright.

Wizards Update- Will Jordan serve up something special to his former team? There have been rumors that he was quite miffed at not being offered a position in the Bulls' front office after he retired. Either way, no doubt he'll be enjoying the opportunity to personally embarrass the team that Jerry Krause broke up the championship Bulls squad for to put on the court in their place. - Steve Caas

GAME PREVIEW

Clippers (16-18) @ Washington (14-17)

Clippers Update- It's a new day in Clipperland -- the team is actually competing for a playoff spot this year. They are now led by new acquisition Elton Brand (20.8 ppg, 11.5reb), who rumors say the Wizards could have acquired from Chicago if they traded their no.1 pick in the draft. They lost to Philly 81-80 last night so they may be tired, but will probably be much more competitive.

Wizards Update- Washington may be very well rested, but they might also be very rusty, having played only one game in the last eight days. Last year when the Clippers visited, they came back from being blown out to get the win, causing Jordan's now infamous attack on his television set. If the same thing happens tonight, he'll be right in the middle of it. - Steve Caas
