Kyshawn gets the start. Bub comes off the bench.

West coast trip has been good for the tank but hard on fans. Let’s hope KG for 3 gets another big night scoring.

Go Wiz !!

I'm glad you appreciate my insightful basketball analysis.

I know he's got good 1st half counting stats, but good god, he gets stripped so easily while trying to do too much. Or on that fast break, while trying to do the most basic basketball maneuver.

Just checked in, down by 10, announcers like Kuzma's performance but I think they just like the fact that he isn't shooting under 40%.

Looking at box score we have 5 FTA, they have . . . . 18 (and hit 17)!

I didn't follow this game.

From the box score, Nick Richard's had 20 points and 19 rebounds. Sarr had 11 and 6. That's not good.

The Wizards were out rebounded 53-37.

Free throws. Phoenix 26-28 Washington 7-9

All three of Durant, Booker, and Beal played.

The Wizards outscored the Suns by one point the last three quarters.

Kuzma had 30 and 11 rebounds. Poole had 19 and 10 assists with 6 steals.

I'd say from the box the Wizards played hard and probably free throws or lack decided the game.
Bye bye Beal.

It'd be interesting or instructive to see how many unchallenged 3s we allowed
vs how many we shot ourselves.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity
