The Suns have a chance to sweep this three game road trip if they can get a quality win against the Wizards. I hope they are up to it. The match up I am interested in seeing is Len versus Gortat. Here are the lineups and more from a Paul Coro article at azcentral dated 12-21-14.

(14-14) at WIZARDS (19-6)… 4 p.m. tip-off (Phoenix time)

C: Alex Len … Marcin Gortat

PF: Markieff Morris … Kris Humphries

SF: P.J. Tucker … Paul Pierce

SG: Goran Dragic … Bradley Beal

PG: Eric Bledsoe … John Wall

Key Wizards reserves: Rasual Butler, Nene, Drew Gooden, Otto Porter, Kevin Seraphin, Andre Miller.

Key Wizards injuries: Paul Pierce (sore left big toe) and Nene (sore right heel) are questionable. Martell Webster (back surgery) is out.

The Suns start the game as a turnover machine.

Kieff lets humphries get free a couple of times for easy shots.

I've always thought Kris Humphries would have been a good addition for the Suns.

Again. Green takes it full court for a turnover.

Stupid fouling miller down low. You have to know your opponent. Miller isn't going to rise up and dunk it on you.

IT with a real dumb turnover on the inbounds.

It was almost like he handed the ball to the defender. He probably took his eye off the ball.

Bad call on Len at 31 seconds. Looks like he stayed high.

Kevin Seraphin played some serious basketball for the Wizards.

Suns are much better when Bledsoe and Dragic aren't in at the same time as Thomas. Thomas just dominates the ball so much.

Please stop with the Lensanity comments
Steve Albert stealing a nickname from a Laker Point Guard for our young Center. That is not only unoriginal. It is illogical!


Meanwhile, the Suns take the lead with Len and Plumlee on the court and even Shavlik Randolph getting playing time.

It looks like Jeff grew a pair. Too bad we won't see it for another fifteen games.

We go small...and our go to scorer with less than 4mins to go is Kieff. Also we have no defensive rebounding.

I think the Suns went small too early.

Whew. Bledsoe shoots too early in the shot clock but he makes it so all is well.

The Suns are going to win with the 3 PGs and the Morris twins.
