Why is Beal playing? its meaningless. Dame is going to have a field day with this defense.

Quick look at tickets. Moderate availability, not rock bottom prices, but a few bargains:

Section 112 Row M (Lower Center)- $80 single seat (box office is $141)
Section 106 Row K (Behind basket) - $48 per for a pair (box office is $63)

I'm going to go to a game soon, but want to wait until more guys come back from injury.

Wait till Beal and IT take a break so you can watch Payton, and Matthews light it up

Brooks has been starting Beal at SF alongside both IT and Payton. So Payton will probably start and will probably guard Lillard, though I suppose they could put Payton on McCollum and IT on Lillard.

If there was ever a game to limit IT's minutes, this is it.

Beal's out finally some common sense here.

IT just pushed the ref 90 seconds into the game, lol. Bye

IT something wrong with this guy, a veteran knows you can’t do that. Disturbing. This and going into crowd, we need to part ways.

On the bright side we may have a chance tonight.

LOL. IT out after 90 seconds.

It would probably have helped us if we still had Beal, but with Beal out, there just aren't a lot of guys who can score. McRae and Ish are going to have to combine for 70 for us to win this thing.

The announcer just said that it's not good for the Wizards to lose IT, especially this early in the game. But no, that's exactly wrong. It's much better for us. Ish runs most of the minutes, GPII backs him up, and there's always Brown, Bonga, or Robinson (in a pinch) to set up the offense.

Ian has been horrible on defense so far. He can't keep Whiteside out of the lane.

The scrap brigade is soooooo much fun to root for.

4 point play. Convert the man's contract -- he's got a spot in the NBA.

Concert him now please and thank you! He's so **** good.

The moment that we have anyone not named Gary Payton II guarding Dame, he scores.

The NBA is too easy for Mathews. Is there a more competitive league somewhere? The guy has 13 points on 4 shot attempts.

Big picture with IT is that he was about to sign a huge deal, but he gets hurt and traded. His sister dies in a car accident (that, I believe happened first). He's resilient but he's human.

The guy's got to be going through quite a bit of inner turmoil.
