I will be on the road tomorrow so starting this early. Ariza vs. Oubre Jr are the headliners here. Can we win 5 in a row?! Let's do it!

Go Suns!!!

Dis • cuss

I think the train keeps a rollin. Oubre scorches his old team. Suns by 15.

Let's kick some ass.

Ayton should really be able to sustain his recent performances in this game. Thomas Bryant shouldn't stand a chance against him.

This is a game we should win based on how we have been playing, so I think we actually lose it. This team never does what I expect!

Everybody’s job between now and game time is to convince Indy to expect a loss.

Oh, wait a sec. Looks like Indy already did. So we should be good.

Unless I just blew it.

time is a flat circle

All these wins, all these losses, it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream you had inside a locked room-And like a lot of dreams, there’s a monster at the end of it.

The Suns are now tied with Denver and Milwaukee for the longest active winning streak in the NBA.

The Bucks play the Heat in Miami today, so I would assume the Bucks win. But Denver plays at the Clips so that might be a tough game for them.

A week ago we expected them to lose every game. Now we expect them to win every game. What goes up must come down. All winning streaks end. The Wizards know we are on a winning streak and will be a little more fired up. It’s a full moon.

Maybe with the Government shutdown they won’t show up.

With all the wolfing, it's a loss for sure...right Indy?

Suns lose by 30.

*Ariza posterizes Oubre, Oubre retires the next day
*Ayton shows up to the game 1 inch shorter somehow
*Booker shoots 0-for-26, in the first quarter
*Josh Jackson can't figure out what rim he's supposed to score on
*James Jones trades Richaun pre-game for a sturdy vet presence and cash considerations

Wizards' starting lineup is likely Wall-Beal-Ariza-Green-Bryant. I imagine Igor will have Mikal cover Beal and Booker cover Ariza. Our army of defensive wings can harass Wall and Beal all night while Ayton and Richaun battle their small frontcourt. On paper this seems like a good matchup for us, but it's on the road and we're 8-24, so who knows.

I didn't realize that Washington's frontcourt had become such garbage. Hopefully we can exploit the lack of interior defense and rebounding and get some easy baskets. I could see guys like Warren or Jackson having good games if they attack the basket.

Time for Ayton to have his first 30pt game.

I'm shocked that Thomas Bryant is in the league. He was overhyped coming into Indiana and regressed each year. Kind of like the Kris Wilkes situation in UCLA. Ayton should have a field day.

Any idea who the Wizards will match up with Richaun? Suppose it’s gonna have to be Markieff.

That is what I was thinking too. Honestly, the only matchup I think isn't in our favor is Wall/Melton (if you consider cross matching like Mikal on Beal, Booker on Ariza).
