If we shut down Wall, the rest collapses. He is pretty much the central point for all offensive system by distributing, driving and kicking or creating mismatches.

The problem is actually being able to shut him down....

I think we win this one. We have to win this one and the Bulls game to keep pace with OKC imo.

Is Wright healthy?

WAS playing us on a b2b after they play the Lakers. Let's take advantage of that.

Can't wait to see Len destroying Gortat.

This will be important cause Washington has some serious size & muscle down there.

Brandan Wright (sore left heel) missed Sunday's game but fully took part in practice today and expects to play Wednesday in #SunsVsWizards.

If we really want to be in the playoff discussion, I think these next two are pretty close to must wins.

I feel like we could beat the Wiz but the Bulls will be very difficult since they cause problems down low same way Memphis has. Bulls are coming off a road win over Warriors too. It won't be easy but like you said we need the next two.

Whole heartedly agree, at this point of the seasons the Suns can not afford to lose to teams at home that are coming of a B2B and playing their 3rd road game in 4 days.

The following games all fall under the must win banner in my opinion:

Wiz fan here and thats strange since alot of people think we have quality true bigs and we are one of the few teams who routinely own the Bulls frontline

Think you guys will win this one, Wall has been dealing with migraines plus he may have rolled his ankle last night. Not sure if he's playing but the team has pretty much no chance at competing if he's not playing and 100%

Just do us a favor and beat the Bulls as well, please?

If Wall plays he's gonna have a party attacking the paint.

Not sure if leaving Bradley Beal open (like we do against most shooters) will be a smart plan as well.

Washington's on a b2b and we've had 2 days rest, there's no excuse to lose here.

if Thomas plays then you guys should win. That dude kills us everytime and he knows it too

Nice, I didn't notice the game is on ESPN! They are a good team, this will be tough.

Yeah.. Isaiah Thomas vs Andre Miller.. that's not gonna be pretty

If it gets out of hand we should just rest our starters in the second half. Got a big conference game vs Toronto coming up

Suns don't blow out teams very often.

We almost lost to Minnesota and even the ganes vs NYK & Phillly were closer than you'd think.

^Nah, this will be a blowout I think. Nene also sitting for WAS:

Nene (foot) will not play against the Suns on Wednesday.

Like I said, just beat the Bulls and we'll be even :lol:
