Tough game today. The Wizards are riding a 6 game winning streak and attempting to break their record for their fastest start to 20 wins in franchise history.

Go Suns!!!

I like this Washington team. John Wall is having an amazing season so far. It's great to see how much he has matured as a player. I think the Wiz are also really enjoying the presence of Marcin Gortat. He probably won't be worth what he's making by the end of that contract, but they really benefit from having a dependable big man who can stir up a bit of trouble in the paint on defense.

I don't know what to say about the presence of Paul Pierce; he seems to be providing good toughness and leadership, but his shooting percentages are atrocious. Bradley Beal is the real deal, though.

If you're giving 40, I'll take the Suns. I'm that optimistic. How much can I bet?

Wiz are an enjoyable team to watch play. Guys I've been meaning to ask, how is Len looking in his starts so far?

EJ has been pretty high on Len lately.

I just want to see him get to the point of dunking on people. Hopefully another summer in the weight room will help with that.

40 points might have been a little generous.

The East SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS.

The Suns didnt even play very well tonight. More turnovers than assists. Poor three point and free throw shooting.

Its just the Wizards played like crap.

For those of us who watched the game, it was a good effort. Suns were aggressive and attacked the rim offensively. Len had a nice game with four blocks and changed a number of shots.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

We had 13 assists as a team and won, that's funny.

Nice win against one of the best teams in the East on their home court on a back to back! Next up is the newly Rondo led Dallas Mavericks at home on Tuesday before hitting the road again for the following four games.
