Dallas has been horrible this year and have the worst record in the league at 1-10. Dirk is done. Mathews stinks. They're starting a rookie PG with a PER of 9.

On the other hand, Dallas has always owned the Wizards, winning both games last year and 9 of their last 10 against Washington. Rick Carlisle outcoaches us every time.

Wall is questionable and my guess is they'll sit him out.

Add in the Wiz tendency to play down to competition, and I’ll be curious to see how this one turns out.

If we see the same Beal show up, and one or more of Porter, Gortat or Morris having a good game, we should win easily.

Nowitzki, walker and all, still drops 30.

Carlisle body slams Lil Scottie.

No matter how much the suck they are, the Mavs always own the Wizards.

Maybe somewhat surprising(or maybe not), but the Wiz have the second best offense in the NBA so far.

Doesn't include games played tonight.

I think Beal and Porter are driving that.

It makes you wonder how amazing the offense would/be if John can start making shots again.

It also makes you wonder how good we would be with a good defense?

My prediction: Wiz win but within the margin of 5 points or less.

And Dallas has the 2nd worst defense. (We're 20th)

Honestly, I thought we were worse than that.

Dirk is going to drop 30. Just watch.

Man that would be bad. Dirk hasn't had 30+ against Washington since 2009(http://bkref.com/tiny/mfH4c). And the most points he's had this season is 18.

Well they did hold Sac to 83 points and Tor to 96 so I guess that helped out some. But other than that yea they've been pretty ***ty on defense.

So what else is on TV tonight

Was going to go to this one, but tickets more $ than I thought. And it's raining. Hawks and Kings on this home stand should result in some great seats for cheap. Maybe last time Dirk plays here

How long will we have to wait for them to go to Otto. Ridiculous.

Jesus! I'm tempted to go all NatP4 out here and bash Wall. First two Dallas buckets involved Wall getting toasted.

Thank you! I like them pounding it into the paint to Gortat. Dallas must be made to pay for starting Barnes at PF.

We're doing fine now after a bad start. All our shots are at the rim. Beal has missed a few bunnies. No big deal

Has anyone else thought that Morris looks terrible so far. What happened to the guy from late last year. This guy looks like a zombie of the old Morris.
