The home winning streak is becoming a thing now.

Verizon center may feel a tad different without Kobe bandwagoners in the house.

Game time: 7:00 p.m., Verizon Center

Go Wizards!

Yeah but, Nick Young...

Get the streak going, one game at a time!

[Tricky_Kid]

Easy win. Onto the next one

You know something's wrong if you feel that they should win by quite a margin.

You know what? My dad bought me this tshirt of Barcelona (football/soccer/) back in 90s. Back then if you lived in a place like Poland the very first kit you had made you a lifelong supporter of certain club. So I became Barcelona lifelong supporter. In the mid-2000s I started to follow them on a daily basis, since the evolution of Internet gave me quite a freedom to read news and watch their games. Since mid-2000s they were the best team in European football/soccer/. My brother, in turn, got this Borussia Dortmund kit. He was their supporter but, since we lived in the same room, I had to watch all the games with him. Evolution's a bitch and slowly I became their supporter as well. In late-2000s (2007?) I opened this official Polish fan-club of Borussia. Since, they became one of the top German teams that eventually got to the Champions League final and won a couple of Bundesliga (German league) titles.

I started to follow Wizards when Gortat was traded.
Wizards started to win games in 2017.

I see a pattern in here

Wizards by 20.....and since I wrote that, they will now lose.

I'm not sure it's possible to jinx this one - at home against a bad undisciplined west coast team. Mark it pen - 16th straight home win.


Okay, now we're f.. er jinxed.

Should be a win. However, the Lakers have a few extremely streaky players who, when hitting, really can't be stopped. Because of that, they have a puncher's chance of winning, no matter how well we play.

I really hope the Wizards have it in their heads that they could possibly put together the best Wizards winning streak since the 70's. The possibility to be the best Wizards team in almost 40 years will hopefully keep them disciplined and motivated.

Hmmm, I think I can help our cause, erase the jinx....

I've been so wrong so far this season that if I predict a Lakers win it might seal a win for us. What do you think?

Luke has the young Lakers sharing the ball and running an actual offense so like nate said, they can put up points.

Their defense is bad... John should have a big game.

Now that the January post-Player of the Month slump is over, which John Wall will we get for February? With the Wizards surging, it would really benefit his All-NBA campaign if he can get his season averages to 23 & 10. I would be fine with 22 & 11 if he wants to be more of a distributor. I just hope he doesn't fall in love with the mid-range jumper. He needs to keep the defense honest, but he should have a mental note (if I miss 2 jumpers in a row, I need to drive). These bad defensive teams (including New York yesterday), should be used as an opportunity to put up big stats.

We need to get Wall his mega-max. Otherwise he could go anywhere in free agency.

Key for John to make an All NBA team is winning. It won't matter how good his numbers are if we don't finish strong and get a good seed. If we keep winning, awards will come for John.

John is already at that level. I see no reason why he couldn't maintain that.

Since there's no thread to discuss other games related to us...
Bless Dion Waiters. A true American hero.

I want Morris to put Sh*tty P on his a$$ one time. It's all I ask for. And make it a flagrant.

Yea, he'd be pretty upset about what Washington insiders have recently decreed.

Prolly not enough to halt our streak tho.

[long suffrin' boulez fan]

It was weird how easy the Wiz made the Knicks win look. They mostly just loafed around in the first half, then exerted themselves in the third win a prolonged run to put the game out of reach.

Will they come focused tonight?

Will they need to?
