should be a good game. nice test for the suns. i didn't realize nene wasn't playing (tho statistically speaking i may have guessed). when nene and gortat are both playing that is one of the best frontlines in the nba.

still, humphries is a high energy forward who will give WAS unnecessary second chances and hustle points if kieff doesnt body him up. good luck to bledsoe slowing down his fellow wildcat Wall. that guy is too hot to handle and TOO COLD TO HOLD.

Nene is coming off the bench btw.

I have a feeling we might get abused in the paint.

He sure is since I placed him under "reserves".

I heard this is Wizards best start in franchise history. I didn't expect them to be this good but they've proven they are for real. And finally they have a closer in Pierce when it comes to playoff basketball he will help them extremely in that department. As for this game, If Suns dont win one of these categories in Rebounds or free throws they will lose.

He will starts on the bench but like in last games He will play final minutes.
You should care about Rasual Butler He is deadly this season.

I got the question, cause I haven't seen any Suns game for now - Is this Len guy legit?

my only concern is how Dre will handle with such quick PG's like IT , GD or EB dunno who will play with bench...

Yeah, prepare to see Gortat being abused like never before in the paint. Our frontcourt is our main strenght.
That´s why we close out games with our tallest guy on the court being 6,9".

Don"t think you'll have to worry a lot. :nonono:
You guys are clearyl better this year, with good chemistry and a very balanced team.
Our guards will carve Dre, get to the rim, but we won't get nearly enough calls to even things out. Book it.

Isaiah Thomas always goes off vs. the Wizards. He might drop 30 tonight.

In case Hammer will has a rough night Wiz has Nene, Seraphin and Blair as a C and few guys on PF - Hump, Pierce, Gooden.

I can't wait to see if Dre will school your PG on post up He is real proffesor 8-)

By the way I remember when you guys slashed Gortat for missed layups as a Wiz C He tries to dunk most of the time :o

Yes we have balanced team but a little to old. Luckly our main core is still very young - Wall, Beal and Porter all under 25.
After Ariza left I wasn't too optimistic but now I'm glad He did it. Look at his stats in Houston without elite PG He is average spot shooter. With Pierce, Butler and Hump our chemistry never was so high as now on.

Looking forward for a good game from both teams. Last year suns were fun to watch

Wizards fan appearing from nowhere reminds me of the Raptors game. Not as many, of course.
