Only the first preseason game, but this Simmons kid can play.
Nobody got hurt, so I'd say we're off to a great start.....

Yes, glad to see that no one got hurt. I was really impressed with Okafor.
good shooting night? i don't know about you but every time he throws one up i assume int's going in the net. great signing.Looks like a pretty good game put in by Simmons tonight
9-11 shooting, 19 pts, 7 reb, 5 assists
Redick had a good shooting night as well - 19 pts 5-6 from 3 pt
Wall/Beal were 16-45 (1-7 3pt).
WAS had 38 FTA to our 19.
Say what you will about the refs, but we had our chances late in the game.
Bayless couldn't find Simmons for what would have been an easy layup.
Covington couldn't find a wide open Bayless after a Simmons outlet pass.
Turnovers were killer and WAS had 5 more offensive rebounds than us.
Still, Redick had a chance to tie the game.
These are the kinds of games that they need to learn how to win.
All in all, very encouraging, but they need to come out with energy Friday night against a desperate Celtics team.
Beating Boston would be wonderful. The energy in that arena is going to be off the charts.
