Phoenix Suns vs Washington Wizards (1/11/2017 7 PM ET)  

Post#1 » by Tricky_Kid » Wed Nov 1, 2017 8:42 am

After convincing victory over Kings 110-83 Wizards ended a first road trip with 3-2 record with dissapointing games against Lakers and Warriors.
Phoenix Suns are 3-1 after firing their coach and yesterday the won over Nets 122-114. Devin Booker scored 32pts in 35 min he was on the court. Over the last 5 games Booker: 23.6 ppg, 5.6 rbds, 4 assts, 46% FG, 43% 3pt, 91% FT
He is dangerous so we better watch out.
But as earlier I can't see we can lose to them at home in DC :)

Wizards starting lineup:

PG John Wall

Image


SG Bradley Beal

Image
SF Kelly Oubre Jr

Image
PF Otto Porter Jr

Image
C Marcin Gortat

Image

Suns starting lineup:

Image

It would be great to beat them hard from the beggining

Image

Relax and cheer

Image

Image

And collect another W :)

Image

Key inactives:

Markieff Morris (injury)

Image

Eric Bledsoe (out)

Image

Good luck charm:

I hate playing teams with new coaches. There's no scouting report on them and they tend to surprise you.

They already got a win yesterday against the now 3-5 Nets. Hopefully, they revert back to the mean especially coming off a back to back.

I believe one change the new coach made was to not start Josh Jackson. I could be wrong on that but it looks like Jackson is playing a lot less prominent role for them.

Read on Twitter

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Phoenix is 3-4, so people are fooled into thining they're decent, but they have the worst point differential in the West and 2nd worst in the NBA (ahead of Chicago). Chriss and Bender are athletic but Charmin soft bigs. Len's been phenominal on the boards, but is too sloppy on offense. Is Bledsoe the athlete he used to be. We'll see, but I think the answer's no. If Beal handles Booker without help, Wiz
Spoiler:
win easily and Carrick Felix gets career high

1. This disastrous point differential is a result of two terrible games lost by 48 and 42, both under Watson. Under Triano the Suns have been playing much better.
2. Bender has been surprisingly efficient on defense lately, Chriss seems to be still on vacation though.
3. I don't know about Bledsoe, he is not with the team currently so it probably won't matter too much ;-)
It's a back-to-back for the Suns so I expect an L here but hope for a good, competitive game from both teams.
