YOUR Washington Bullets ARE 24-18 !

It's Polish Heritage Night in DC and the Wiz are playing the 2nd of a back to back. They welcome the Nets who have owned the Wiz this season, winning the first two meetings.

With another sub .500 team in house, will the Wiz continue to play down to the level of the competition? The Nets (16-26) play hard and have been surprising other teams too. Brooklyn is coming off a W at ATL... something the Wiz couldn't do. Also, Jahlil Okafor had 17 points in 12 minutes. Could he make an appearance against the Wiz?

Wow. Clearly lots of buzz around this one.

CCJ, you ok? That fake missle threat must have been terrible to suffer through.

Somehow Wiz are favored by 9.5 points. Did no one see the other Wiz-Nets games this year?

I know it's only the Nets, but great defensive effort so far by our starters. I don't know how many times I've said that about this team before the 2nd half this year.

Where has this pressure defense been all year? Closing out on shooters, timely help defense, just wow.

Also loving how they're pushing the ball up the floor after Brooklyn makes.

Great team defense, but of course, Morris gets beat on the blow by. Oubre starter when?

Guys watch closely Porter. He is so bad at D. He is slow and losing his man too often

I'm kinda confident they'll blow this somehow. Will check in the morning.

Suffocating effort on the defensive end combined with keeping their boards clean is pretty much the story so far.

I don't think Porter is healthy. He's been pretty bad lately and can't even hit midrange jumpers, which is his strength.

It's incredible how the Wizards can go from how they played last night to how they're playing tonight.

Washington manages to show extra defenders every time they have a breakdown and they are doing a great job recovering when they help.

Probably the best I've seen this defense play all year.

Finally, playing like a very good team against a team with inferior talent! There is a unbelievable difference between last night (even though they won) and the effort on D tonight.
