Game starts in ~1 hour and I have to go to sleep, damn.
Gonna watch the game tomorrow (and rage here).
According to twitter Sato will remain in the starting 5.

You can watch the game & sleep at the same time, Eli. No problem.

Strong defense, but poor decision making by Wall has let us down on offense. Should have gotten more out of those stops.

Impressed with the defense so far. It's early but Otto has been on point defensively.

So much for the defense.

About to say I thought they went a little long with Bryant before bringing in Kieff in.

Somebody give Robinson a pump fake already, he jumps at everything.

Would be nice if Oubre could bottle this up to get out of his horrific cold spell that he's had all season.

Satoransky is so valuable in help defense simply by hustling. Last possession, he ran halfway across the court to get a body on Robinson (because someone else was too lazy) and made sure Robinson didn't get an easy putback.

Keep it up KO, might boost your trade value

The Wizards are actually shooting as well as an average NBA team from 3-point range!
5 for 12.

I like the move to bring in Mahinmi to contain Kanter. Bryant wasn't getting it done and Morris is a bit too small (and probably needs a short breather).

Similar theme here. There are many possessions where Wall and Beal are the only ones touching the ball....

WTF happened to Beal's 3-pt shot? Beal has been terrific all year at almost every aspect of his offensive game, but he has been a TERRIBLE 3-point shooter. How does that happen?

Hardaway loves playing the Wiz. I wonder why?

It just drives me crazy. Other than the 3-point shooting, Beal has been running an offensive clinic tonight. He looks so smooth and under control as he dissects the Knicks' D for layup after layup. And he's worked in a couple of nice PnR passes as well. But the man can't shoot at all. I now expect a miss every time he is open from 3. I actually feel more comfortable when he's taking a step-back 3.

Beal has shot better than 33% from 3 just once in the last 12 games.
He has made just 17 of his last 63 attempts. That's 27%
