Game Day (EARLY START!): Suns (28-21) @ Wizards (9-39), Sun 2/4/24

[Superbone]

Time: 1:30 pm AZ (12:30 pm PT/3:30 pm ET)
Place: Capital One Arena, Washington, DC
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBATV

It's the end of the road for the Suns. They need this one to end up above 0.500 on their 7 game road trip. For the first time, Bradley Beal is returning to play his career-long team until he joined the Suns last summer. Unfortunately, the masked man has struggled to shoot well since breaking his nose. He should receive a warm welcome from the DC fans.

I think we will put on an absolute show and be up by 30+ during the third before ultimately losing on an unlikely Jordan Poole jumper.


(Trying for the reverse jinx)

[Nodack]

The Suns are a west coast team and they tend to start out slowly in these early starts. I hope they don’t take too long to warm up. Beal at his long time home for the first time as a Sun. He’s been off with that mask so far. Maybe a couple more days of rest and being home will reignite his shooting touch and confidence.

[ShelC]

Beal's putting up 50 today.

[Mori Chu]

I'd venture to guess that, mask or no mask, Beal will give it his all today and will have a big game. I hope we see Bol Bol get a few minutes, too.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Many times players returning to their former arena struggle in part due to not being able to follow their usual pregame routine.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Sam Mitchell doing the "back in my day" thing on the NBATV pregame show is dumb.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Jordan Poole is the most unintentionally funny player in the NBA.

[TOO]

Beal cooking early.

[TOO]

Up 10 but the Suns cannot stop anything in the paint. Barf.


Bet a PG helps with that...

[Split T]

Doesn’t seem like either team has much interest in playing defense…luckily we have better offensive players.

[Flagrant Fowl]

First quarter Bol Bol minutes.

[TOO]

Jordan Poole is so bad.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Bol vs. Omouryi, the battle of former Ducks.

[Flagrant Fowl]

3 first quarter fouls for Booker, 2 against a guy who's barely hanging on in the league.

[Split T]

Getting in foul trouble so Beal can run the show in his homecoming.
