    No offense to the Wizards, but they have no chance tonight. The Suns are just starting to click and nobody can stand in their way but themselves. The only reason the Wizards have a chance is if the Suns' legs give out since this is the third game in four nights, but I don't see that happening.</p>

    I agree the Wizards don't have much of a chance tonight with or without Arenas. Most teams cannot compete with Phoenix when they bring their 'A' game because of the volume of points they put up. This should be a high scoring game and very entertaining because both teams run wide open offenses. This is the type of game where Caron Butler can go for 50 points and the Wizards will still lose by double digits.</p>
