Bradley Beal has scored over 34 points in seven straight games, with 6.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game during that stretch. Beal is shooting the lights out too, hitting 53.0 % from the field and 39.3 % of his 3-pointers.

The Mavericks will try to slow down his hot streak. Expect Delon Wright to get some additional run. He and Dorian Finney-Smith will probably be tasked with guarding Beal.

It's metaphysically impossible for the Washington Wizards to defeat a Rick Carlisle coached team. The whole team could be hurt and it wouldn't matter. Carlisle would beat the Wizards with JJ Barea and their G-League roster.

Yes. But now we have Shabazz Shazam.

Actually, it’s Friday, so tonight after sundown he becomes Shabazz Shalom.

Hmm, maybe I'll change my name to Ruzz.

So starts the Bazz and Jerome era - doesn't exactly roll smoothly off the tongue. Figure Ish will get a few more minutes than Napier - maybe 28 to 20. But Robinson's really the 3rd 2 - with Mathews back - and there's still Glove, Jr. Obviously, they have to see if Robinson can play, so expect 3 guard lineups to be common. I'm hoping for a big game from Wagner - stay out of foul trouble - I will change the channel if he's trying to draw offensive fouls inside the circle.

Now that most of our young players are healthy and we've added another young guy to replace McRae, I'm no longer thrilled with GPII starting. There's only so many non-Beal, non-Ish minutes available at the 1, 2 and 3; and we're trying to develop Robinson, Mathews, Brown, Bonga and Schofield, not to mention Napier. We don't need Payton taking up 20 minutes a night.

Good thing J.J. is out, he always has great games against us....not that it will make any difference tonight

Now THAT'S more like it. That should be a pretty balanced rotation with the bench being:

Napier
Mathews
Brown
Bertans
Wagner

Let Robinson get a few days to know our plays before throwing him in there.

He’s available tonight.

Personally id be happy if we cut Payton at this point and went ahead and gave Mathews a long term deal. But that's just my opinion .

Flip the names, “Rome n’ Bazz” era ? Marginally better.

Much better.

John Wall is a brilliant guy. I hope he's a Wizard for life

I hate when they go to split screen! Do we really need to see John's face watching the game??

Man. Don’t send John away. He’s the best of the three broadcasters.

If he isn’t going to play this year, give the guy a microphone

**** rui is putting In Work and dear lord shabaz looks good. Should be starting soon .
