Wizards vs. Suns

[NotInOurHouse]

Itll be interesting to see if the Wiz come out strong or have a let down after the lakers game. If they do have a let down they will be down by more than 20 pts in the first half to the suns

It would be great to get two wins from the washington teams

Don't mean to be pessimistic, but I don't think we'll win this one. The Suns are just playing too good right now. We can't stop PGs that penetrate, and Steve Nash is going to be a massive nightmare all night. I think we'll stick with them for a while, but we just haven't progressed enough to win.

Of course, I'd welcome them to prove me wrong.

Once again you have a team hitting threes left and right

28-33 after 1...we are hanging in there and weathering the storm

Well, they showed up. Thats very good to see. This shows a lot.
Its looking more and more like, if we can get a fairly ref'd game, you cant count us out of any game.

These guys are so loaded. It will be tough but how awesome would it be to beat them ? All we really need to do is give them a good game and show we can hang with them.

We have kept it close enough after one half.

Peeler got a lot of minutes. Thats interesting.

No foul trouble and we seem to have our legs.
I guess thats why Peeler is playing so much. OT last night.
Jordan is saving some legs for the second half.

Wow, I just heard them say the Suns are the youngest team in the NBA.

What are we, 2nd ?

you get better playing better teams. these games against Western Conference teams, win or lose, are valuable building blocks for a very young team. at 12-8 there is a tendency to start to take some things for granted so the effort against the Lakers was good to see in Game 1 of the trip :)

Excellent. Ive been waiting to see this.

Haywood, Kwam, Jamison, Hughes and Gil at the same time.

I think we will need to run this set against Minn.

We are bigger then them, they are quicker.

We seem to be making a run.

We are getting all the rebounds now.

Gil cant drive on Nash. That dude is a pest.

[hands11]

wow

11-21 from 3

Amazing

Did youll see the reply on the Hughes dunk ?

He was fouled.

Anyway. Down by 10 this late in the game.
We are still in it.

Nothing to be ashamed of here except for letting so many 3's drop. This is a back to back on the road.

We have done pretty dame well.

I had forgotten about Profit. He is our new Simmons.
He has a nice game. He plays with such confidence.
He handles the ball well, he can drive, hit 3's, good court awareness.

He seem very mature.

He was a little sloppy tonight with 2 TOs.
He would benefit from a few more minutes. I think his game would come together. He could be a nice asset.

In hind site, we should have played him earlier instead of Peeler.


Maybe we will see more of him on the road.
He deserves as much of a shot as Dixon and Peeler.
