Game Day: Wizards (10-27) @ Suns (23-15), Sun 1/11/25

Time: 6:00 pm AZ (5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET)
Place: Mortgage Matchup Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: AZ Family 3TV, NBALP

Suns last home game for a while. They follow this up with a 6 game Eastern road trip. The Wizards are doing better of late having split their last 14 games. They recently acquired Trae Young but his Wizards debut will have to wait. Jalen Green and Jamaree Bouyea (concussion protocol) remain out for the Suns.

This year's team generally doesn't play down to the level of their worst opponents. I expect the guys to take care of business here.

Don't underestimate them. Take care of business here at home before the road trip. If they can be put away early so the starters can rest even better.

That full court heave by Williams was after the buzzer but they should give it to him just because it was so awesome

Sometimes it’s fun to just beat up on a bad team

Dunn and Fleming played together briefly and successfully as the team was running well.
Gillespie quiet in first half. Hope he gets untracked in the second.
A fun team to watch again. A trade or two away from being a serious contender...

Brooks also off to a slow start.

How many steals do we have / how many turnovers for WAS? Feels like about 30.

Almost 10 games over .500!

Oof, Collin's shooting in January has not been up to his usual standards. Under 40 from the field and just 31% from 3.

One of the things I like about this team is more often than not they take care of business when they should. It’s such a welcome difference to the last few seasons!

Pretty impressive that we can blow a team out despite all of Booker, Brooks, and Gillespie shooting so poorly.
