Pretty funny that guys who've been buried on the bench as so effective when they get to play.

Everyone few games or so, the Wizards are able to get a random good team to play like idiots. Last week, it was the Nets, and today it's the Suns.

On another note, these timeout segments are hilariously awkward.

The team could have been playing like this all along. Westbrook can still get it done if he is the ball handler in a 4-out set. It just doesn't work when he is alongside Ish and Lopez.

Good things happen when you play Bonga and Mathews. Ish is solid when he is used as an actual PG not next to Westbrook.

It's nice to see them play well for once. Brooks should still be fired because he was so freaking clueless for 10 games - and it's still a shame that now there's no spot for Brown in the rotation. I'd try starting him at PG and sit Neto or Smith for few games.

This is the Ish we saw all last year. Not sure why he was getting dogged so hard on here beginning of the season

I think TB is gone at this point, especially if Mathews is really a player. But I would showcase him a few games to get his value up

Mathews on/off differential must be +infinity. Basically, if he is on the court, the Wizards will outscore the competition. It's uncanny.

Honestly, if Brooks is refusing to play Troy, trade him, please Tommy call Indy for Goga...or even better fire Brooks!

He should get a uniform with #8, only turn it sideways.

Here's the thing. If this is the role you want a wing player to play off the bench, it makes no sense to play Brown Jr over Matthews. Brown JR should be given opportunities to be pg.

The Wizards have been playing a lot of zone out of dead ball possessions.

If Brown could be traded for a young, athletic (and smart! Not another McGee) center, I'd do that. Time to make some calls, Tommy.

Wow, Mathews is so good in his role.

You're not getting a young athletic center, but I have proposed a trade for Richaun Holmes bird rights involving Troy Brown Jr.

I like Troy, but there's not really a roll for him here it seems like.

You know, when it gets exciting for a Wizards fan, there's the invariable doubt sneaking in.

Greatest collapse in Wizards history coming up?
