YOUR Washington Bullets are 9-10! Will they finally be able to get back to .500??

They're coming off an impressive W in South Beach over the HEAT. Wittman outcoached Spoelstra who got too cute trying to match up with small ball when the HEAT should have played Hassan Whiteside and Bosh together to win the game.

Tonight, the Rockets come to town. They might be without one of our favorite players, Trevor Ariza, who got hurt in Brooklyn last night. Harden's work ethic and attention to detail has been a sticking point with teammates but he is still going to effortless score 30 points. How will Beal matchup?

This looks like another home L, I don't know what to expect!

Better than anything we have at PF

I think you're referring to Clint Capela

Took a look at the rockets board and one poster claims Ariza may not play tonight. They are on a B2B. Hopefully Harden doesn't make up for his **** performance yesterday.

Whoever Harden is guarding, need to cut every opportunity off the ball. He is a wretched defender this season IMO. He can defend if he cared to, but his give a damn is disgusting at times.

Marcin quote sounded confident about his mother's condition, that's good to hear. Not sure what the issue is, but hopefully she stabilizes and continues showing progress with her health.

Dwight Howard will probably play limited minutes tonight for Houston, he usually doesn't play back-to-backs at all or barely.

Let's go Wizards!

Beal MUST attack Harden every time he has the ball.

They got brewer on Beal, not knowing down threes early and not gearing capela...sweet

Beal is horrible so far.

Sit Beal until he learns how to shoot. Start Gary "Real Deal" Neal.

That was offensive foul by Harden on Porter. Really dirty play.

Temple gonna Temple.

No one but wall and gortat is playing well. Eeesh.

The defense is awful. Houston getting nothing but good shots.

So tired of the Wizards getting no respect from the refs.

I have an irrational hatred for Temple. Watching him play and suck badly irritates me to no end.

Pathetic thus far. No Consistency. This is a mediocre team and they are slaughtering us.

YOUR WINNER
