East Practice and Predictions for Tonight
Just returned from the East practice, and while it was hardly a competitive practice, it is always special to see so many great athletes all in one place. As far as the Wizards go, Caron Butler did not practice, but he did do some basic shooting before the drills started.

Here are some quick highlights of the 45 minute session:
Finally, following practice I had the chance to talk to both Antawn and Caron about their thoughts and predictions for tonight’s contest.
Antawn Jamison: “I got (Jason) Kapono (in the 3-point contest), I think the contest suits him and he has a lot of confidence from last year, and in the slam dunk contest I’m pulling for the big guy, I’m pulling for Dwight (Howard) to go into his bag full of tricks and do something we haven’t seen in a while. I think it’s going to be an exciting dunk contest, you got four guys that can really contend for it and four guys that really bring some excitement as well.”
Caron Butler: “I hate to go against my boy Rudy Gay, but Dwight Howard has something up his sleeve and it’s CRAZY! I also like (Jamario) Moon. I saw Moon do some dunks in the warm-up yesterday that was unbelievable. He jumped two feet behind the free throw line, LEGIT, two feet from the free throw line, and then he does the Vince Carter 360 and puts his whole arm in the rim. I want to see what he’s going to do. I like Kapono, I think he’ll repeat.”
