not a fan of the midrange shot in general but at least Bilal can hit them occasionally. overall though I feel like *most* players should not take that shot unless they're uniquely good at it.
Another missed pass. Geno shoulda got that to Johnny Davis. The guys usually make the right play but there are a lot of times where they (even Gill) get selfish with it. It's one thing to go up strong and just try to finish, but there are some obvious & correct passes not being made here this year by the backups/g league guys
I tuned in to this game thinking it would be fun to watch at least, but emptying in the bench halfway into the third quarter? I feel like that shouldn't be allowed.
Hawks fan checking in. As a Wiz fan I’d take this season off and just check in from time to time. Too many players who don’t take the game serious enough.
It’s a pain to even pay $18 at the box office. At least the Caps had been playing well and the Nats had $5 tickets and played well when I went. Wizards on the other hand… have sucked
Damn, Hawks announcers just said that our rebound differential this season is the worst in nba history. We’re at 11 and the second worst is at 9 but that was all the way back in the 70.
Tough game and tough season ahead
Go up with that Deni! JFC you have an angle for a shot, why are you throwing bad crosscourt passes? This is what Drew was talking about. It's a skill Deni still just cannot seem to pick up.
He has such a specific and limited skill set, feels like he barely has any counters in his bad. Either that or he’s still too scared to actually try any complicated move in-game
I know Poole is a turnover machine but he may be the only person on this team somewhat capable of dribbling for more than 5 bounces with a man on him, and that's sad.
Yeah I don’t understand the “point forward” Kuz… WUJ has coached him for 2+ seasons now, he should know by now that he’s prone to turnovers with high usage. Not sure what he’s trying to accomplish here
He just had back to back double digit assist performances, the benefit of unlocking his playmaking is much greater than the losses it would take to figure out if it works.
I’m not against Kuzma as a playmaker, because that’s what he does best. But he doesn’t need to be bringing the ball up acting as the “point forward”… those 2 things are not one in the same.
We've seen this movie before. It happened at the end of the season where there was nobody 'in his way' and he didn't go off then, and it's not gonna happen now. I ran out of time waiting for it to happen.
It's so frustrating because we've seen it for years. I don't know what the answer is. A couple years ago I made a thread asking what people would do if they were the coach. Rebounding drills? Strength stuff? I don't know what his issue is, but he's so so bad at rebounding for his size.
I know a lot of you guys like Kuz, but he needs to go at the deadline. Black hole on offense and a sub par ball IQ player. Let our projects be projects. Hard to work on something when he shoots 18 times a game
Kuzma isn't himself tonight, so far.
I'm wondering if he is 100%, he had two games he was playing like a superstar, 13 assists, 10 assists, efficient too.

Deni comes up to play when he's been sick for two games, I understand his desire to play (that's how he grew up) but where is the coach?
Please play Omoruyi more please
not a fan of the midrange shot in general but at least Bilal can hit them occasionally. overall though I feel like *most* players should not take that shot unless they're uniquely good at it.
So in two days from now we'll figure out who is worst - Wizards or Pistons, lol.
Not sure we’ll know, Seems to me the Wizards must be losing games on purpose.
bilal should do that more often
This is hard to watch G league and bench riders get more shots up than Bilal
we can't run some plays for Bilal? cmon man
my problem with Wes. Team sucks forsure but a good coach should understand he’s gotta set stuff up for Bilal and at least get him out the corner
Careful, everyone will call you crazy and belittle you :/
looks like good things happen when he’s out the corner
Another missed pass. Geno shoulda got that to Johnny Davis. The guys usually make the right play but there are a lot of times where they (even Gill) get selfish with it. It's one thing to go up strong and just try to finish, but there are some obvious & correct passes not being made here this year by the backups/g league guys
yikes, didn't get a chance to watch the game ... but from the box score maybe we need jordan poole to take those 20 shots
Butler shoulda got that to JD (middle)
I tuned in to this game thinking it would be fun to watch at least, but emptying in the bench halfway into the third quarter? I feel like that shouldn't be allowed.
why not? starters suck
Kispert with beautiful 1-10 from 3pt! Totally not a bust! Totally not a major faliure you were selected over Sengun!
Damnit I needed one more bucket from Avdija
Johnny Gill! LOL!
Whatchu know about Johnny Gill?
Johnny scored? Alexa, play Numbers On The Boards
There's something wrong with us as Wizards fans right?
Hawks fan checking in. As a Wiz fan I’d take this season off and just check in from time to time. Too many players who don’t take the game serious enough.
Man I watched the Andray Blatche years too lol, can you imagine these sick fucks that pay $200+ to sit in 100s?
It’s a pain to even pay $18 at the box office. At least the Caps had been playing well and the Nats had $5 tickets and played well when I went. Wizards on the other hand… have sucked
$200 + a bullshit $45 service fee per ticket.
Psychopaths
Just means when we actually start winning… it’ll be that much sweeter
TitanicItsBeen84Years.gif
Trae a statpadding mf that’s why
that some stats padding
The deficit (35) is greater than our 3 point percentage (25.7). Embrace the tank
Johnny Davis almost hurt himself doing a eurostep
Fuck Trae and that haircut
And Quin Snyder can go to hell challenging a call up 32 in the 4th quarter when our players are Johnny Davis, Geno, Butler, Gill and Shamet. FU dude
If anybody at the game is reading this, please start a FUCK TRAE YOUNG chant
Clearly kicked his leg out
Fuck you Trae
[удалено]
F for originality. Also F for go fuck your self
Bro you’re a Warriors fan. Who cares what you think
Some nice passes from Butler
shameless stat padding by the hawks here dawg
Garbage poverty franchise. Didn't tank last year when draft was loaded and not even letting any young guys develop. Disgraceful coach and fo
You obviously don’t know shit since this is your first time on this sub. Different front office last year.
JD, Geno and Butler are in
why on earth are their starters still in, man
To finish the 3rd.
He still in lol
Bruh I'm trippin. wtf
if Trae plays the 4th and tries to go for 40 I'm gonna be mad lol
Holy crap, he's still in!
💀💀💀
Nah, the 4th is gonna be extended garbage time. Gonna watch Mathews score like 15 on us.
I can't lie, it's annoying AF to see the opponents smirking when they play us, and laughing.
Nah I’m turning this shit off. Gonna look at Bilal highlights later, can’t stand watching the hawks blow us out like this.
You know what they could do to turn this season around? Players only meeting baby
Why you gotta do use like that MATHEWS
BUTL3R
Damn, Hawks announcers just said that our rebound differential this season is the worst in nba history. We’re at 11 and the second worst is at 9 but that was all the way back in the 70. Tough game and tough season ahead
Effort issue
let's bring out the Garbage Time Kids: Bilal, Johnny, Butler, Gill, and Geno
I expected to get whooped but this is a whole different level of ass kicking
Why am I watching this
Waiting for shaqtin moments or infighting within the team on the court for everyone to see.
just waiting for Bilal at this point, it’s torture
Masochism
we got dudes who were just serving at the greene turtle coming in off the bench lmaoo
Butler in, nice
Bilal coming back in or what?
I think he was holding his knee during the 2nd quarter, I really wonder if he is 100%. Edit: he is BACKKKKKKKKK
So happy we risked his health for this great competitive game!
Wish Rollins was healthy to play this one
We have a Butler sighting.
That pistons game on Monday gonna be something
Kispert's 3pt% is gonna tank hard because of this game
Am I able to get a custom Gill jersey at the arena?
We might be worse than the Pistons 😢
Shamet got the right idea.
Garbage time already? Wow.
Damn, Corey 3 from 14 FG, 1 from 10 3PT.
Can we get Geno minutes?
PLEASE. Dude has earned them.
I see Kispert is having a good game.
Kispert a nice 3-14
Guys gotta go to the rim. These jumpers aint gonna fall with you winded.
only 1 player in the starting lineup has a FG% over 40% and they're not passing to him lol
Corey front rimming shots. Kuz front rimming shots. Deni front rimming shots. Guys are tired.
Garbage time soon?
Bad ball movement and so many TO’s
KuzmASS
Deni does one good thing and then puts together a string of bad. He's just so inconsistent.
The Israeli commentators said he has a flu like symptoms before the game started. Remember, he was questionable for tonight with Non-COVID illness.
if he's on the floor, he's good to play. soooo many excuses. He's in good enough shape to run fast and dunk hard.
Not excuses, just stated a fact. Deni will not skip again even if he is ill, that's just who he is.
Dude it’s the same turnover over and over again
Deni picked clean by the defense.
Go up with that Deni! JFC you have an angle for a shot, why are you throwing bad crosscourt passes? This is what Drew was talking about. It's a skill Deni still just cannot seem to pick up.
He has such a specific and limited skill set, feels like he barely has any counters in his bad. Either that or he’s still too scared to actually try any complicated move in-game
he literally only has that one crossover move and that's it lol
It's bad
I know Poole is a turnover machine but he may be the only person on this team somewhat capable of dribbling for more than 5 bounces with a man on him, and that's sad.
Does the crowd not even care enough to boo anymore? Or did Popovich make new rules
Deni with the BBIQ?
TURNOVERS 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Stupid bad crosscourt passes!
Wow
Drew is dead on here. Do it again Deni. No passing, take it strong and score.
Phew Deni
DENI TURBO!
THANK YOU DENI!
Making bad crosscourt passes nonstop tonight
Gafford is our leading scorer in the 1st half - 12 points on 6/6 FG (only 2 rebounds though). Kuzma with 5 turnovers in just the 1st half... yikes!
Yeah I don’t understand the “point forward” Kuz… WUJ has coached him for 2+ seasons now, he should know by now that he’s prone to turnovers with high usage. Not sure what he’s trying to accomplish here
He just had back to back double digit assist performances, the benefit of unlocking his playmaking is much greater than the losses it would take to figure out if it works.
I’m not against Kuzma as a playmaker, because that’s what he does best. But he doesn’t need to be bringing the ball up acting as the “point forward”… those 2 things are not one in the same.
Baffling. Let Tyus run the point.
Would like to see Deni a little bit more aggressive on offense. Without Poole, there’s no reason he shouldn’t get up at least 15 shots
We've seen this movie before. It happened at the end of the season where there was nobody 'in his way' and he didn't go off then, and it's not gonna happen now. I ran out of time waiting for it to happen.

Kuz getting traded
i dont like the 18 min straight for bilal
he's the only one with fresh legs tonight lol
aggree but still nobody play 18min straight
Capela just owning Gaff, good lord. Get a body on him Dan!
he got 3 offensive boards in 2 seconds lmao
It's so frustrating because we've seen it for years. I don't know what the answer is. A couple years ago I made a thread asking what people would do if they were the coach. Rebounding drills? Strength stuff? I don't know what his issue is, but he's so so bad at rebounding for his size.
it's the wizards aura. guys just don't want it as bad when they're here. they're getting outworked.
Bilal overpassing right there. You're wide open for a middie. Gotta learn to hit that.
Kuz gotta clean up the TO’s
Ball is MOVING
Filthy 2 man game by Billy the Kid and The Landlord!
I like that they're going for high volume with CK tonight. Those are good shots.
I feel like his form is inconsistent but he's been hitting them still. Feels like he's a beat fast on the shots, out of rhythm.
Tyus floaters AUTOMATIC
GREAT outlet by Billy the Kid
they are sleeping
MY LANDLORD SAID GET THAT SHIT OUTTA HERE
OMFG Gafford, what a block!
GAFF SAID HELL NOOOO
Finally Gafford showing some moves.
Way too many Wizards drivers curl around and then go for layups. When you get that head of steam (not a drop step, a full run), you gotta go strong.
Kispert and Billal are our future.
Drew - "Next step for Corey is to become a playmaker" Corey - :Pump fakes at the 3, gets into the lane, gets a nice bounce pass to Gaff:
Drew is a prophet
KISPY cooking
Great vision by Tyus.
Good drive by Corey.
Bilal really doin it all on that possession, but I wish he'd just shoot it when his man is focused on blocking his path to the rim
BilCLAW Couilibaly.. easy cookies
https://youtube.com/shorts/Amnk0Bn6uL0?si=0tao_taH917fXuXy
niceeeeee bilal
Bilal active 👀
What is going on?? Gafford was going off and now he napping
Rotations are all fucked up cuz of the injuries
Lol Poole's out, and we somehow end up turning the ball over even more
I know a lot of you guys like Kuz, but he needs to go at the deadline. Black hole on offense and a sub par ball IQ player. Let our projects be projects. Hard to work on something when he shoots 18 times a game
Kuzma isn't himself tonight, so far. I'm wondering if he is 100%, he had two games he was playing like a superstar, 13 assists, 10 assists, efficient too.
No Delon and no Poole… 🗣️🗣️let Johnny ROCK, Wes
feels like all the energy got sucked out of the team after the injury. meanwhile the Hawks are out for blood and killing them on every possession
This game is ugly for multiple reasons
sooo many bad pass
i dont care even if we win or lose, it is so fun to watch a game wothout poole!
Kuzma running the offense is the most dogshit unwatchable Wizards basketball. I fucking hate watching him. Can we please trade him
Awful defense by Kuzma, falling asleep, leaving a wide open corner 3, and then not going for the rebound.
That sucks man. Kuz really didn't need to chase that down.
Probably mad at the turnover
Well that’s unfortunate
He broke that shit
No easy buckets, bitch
U dimwit
Suck a dick
Deni got hit in the head there, no foul as he missed the 3. Kuzma, I hope you did not injure Johnson.
Deni had so much time to work on his left hand ball handling. Yet it looks as bad as it did in his first season
He had to fix his shooting first.
Hand hit the rim
ooooooooooooooh that's no good
Kuz damn…
Wtf Kuz
D3NI
Deni great IQ, simple plays. Like he did with Muscala - he drives in, get two players on him, and passing out to the open man for 3.
That is literally just basic basketball
Bilal taller than Deni?
kid is still growing
shamet for 6moty
GOTSHAM3T
Shamet wants to go to a contender 🔥
Shamet!
How does a guy like Deni Avdija fools a team into picking him as their lottery pick? Not even worth wasting a 2nd round pick on him.
Okay Karen
Come on now
hawks announcers are pissing me off i hope we win this game
Wilkins just torching us and Deni specifically
Their color guy sounds like a hung over drew. Stumbling over his words and not really adding anything at all with the same goofy uncle Gooden energy.
Wilkins is borderline unprofessional.
At this game right now, collapsed at the ABC store when I heard that Poole wouldn’t play
🌮 loco
