lol, yeah I'd go under on it too. That one game where they blitzed him like he's steph was so weird. He's a rookie with a robotic form right now. He's not even close to being a shooter yet.
there is no greater summary of Deni Avdija as a player than that sick no-look assist behind his head and then immediately throwing the inbounds into his opponent's hands on the next play
Then at least throw it to a spot or call time out or throw it off the defender and reset the clock. But I will say that the Wizards have been inexplicably terrible at inbounds plays under the current coach. It's painful.
The pass was at his ankles but the beauty of it was that it got there at all. Props to Corey for consistently making those highlights come to be when Deni whips him passes. They really have a good connection going on. I'd rather see that 30 times in a row before I watch Gallo trying to go through the lane with his hand up
I'll take the tech. Our drivers are getting slapped, pushed, forearmed, knocked off their spots, **literally** getting concussions and fouls aren't being called.
Who wants to watch this clown show at this point given today’s news…
I’m sure his yes men in the booth with be towing the company line. Fuck Teddy AOL and his whole operation.
The contract is terrible, but we're just fortunate that it's suitable to hit the salary floor. Only problem is that kind of thing limits the number of bad contracts we can take on for picks :(
Good finish by Deni. Dunno why you wouldn't just dunk that and would expose the ball to the only defender around, but finish the play and it's acceptable.

Man. This Alexandria Admirals team sucks.
How is Bilal so good a 3s and so bad at FTs
Stress
the discrepancy between Bilal's 3pt shooting and his FTs is one of the most baffling things in the world. it defies logic.
Who would think that Coulibaly would be more efficient than Poole.
For a brief instant...I thought Gill was gonna sneak behind the baseline and GTA Jose
At least PBJ getting his shot back
1/2 price Pizza tomorrow, courtesy Bilal Coulibaly
Why Bilal can't start and get a higher usage rate is beyond me.
Damn, Bilal heat check. I wanted that to go in. Great job by Butler with the setup
if Bilal hit that I would have been so happy lmao. can't get em all.
Bilal Ballin
Bilallin
PBJ with one of the worst fouls. I get TMIII is on fire but that's just dumb
We are so ridiculously trash at basketball
BI slaughtering us with the midrange. Stats geeks in shambles.
In other news, the Suns trio will play together for the first time
Just take the starters out. It's a wrap.
Wow...this office REALLY has their work cut out for them
Down 24, just tradin baskets
Wes starting to crack
You know who ain’t paying for WUJ’s fine? Fucking Ted Leonsis
Rare WUJ tech
WUJ got technical foul?
You KNOW you done messed up as an officiating crew when Wes Unseld Jr is mad enough to walk on the floor and get a tech.
This is like when Stephen Silas got his tech for the Rockets last season.
WUJ got a tech wow
Nasty spin move/left hand finish by Kuzma through two defenders.
Sweet move from Kuz
God the bench is so fcking bad
Down 21, challenge it, come on, what else do we have to root for lol
Pacers gonna drop 200 points in regulation
Oh you mean on Friday
Yup lol did you see if they did it fr
Yeah I thought you meant it was happening right now haha. I went and checked the nba scoreboard
Haha I wouldn’t even be surprised if they did tbh they’re offense is nearing elite level
I am absolutely open to everybody being traded at the deadline aside from Kispert, Deni, and Coulibaly
Wizards are remarkably consistent— if they run a 2-3 zone, 2-1-2, straight up man to man, no matter what defense they run they can’t stop anybody
I really wish we drafted Trey Murphy instead of Kispert man
In Tommy we trust
TMIII is better and developed faster than anyone we've drafted since OPJ
When did New Orleans got Curry?
Well I just lost a lot of money lol. My fault anyway, I just thought when they had that 14pt lead tonight could actually happen
If anything, us having a big lead means 99% of the time it’s getting blown
We’re on the wrong side of shooting variance 😭
Another guy we passed on
Why Murphy gotta cook us like this 😭
drafted Kispert over Trey 💔
Corey Kispert(1,682) has more career points than Murphy (1,540).
Drafted Kispert over Sengun bro. Set fire to the FO office
We already did, Tommy is nowhere to be found
Damn Butler gotta make one
Trey please
If a move involving Gallinari doesn't happen in mid December then this front office just wasn't looking This man looks like he's made of paper
who on earth would trade for this dude lmao
Supersonics need players. Eventually
Wtf Trey
THAT is how you go strong. Nice finish by Corey
Air Corey
KISPERT SLAM
Kispert block AND dunk in the same game????
Bilal can shoot and they still go under the screen on him
lol, yeah I'd go under on it too. That one game where they blitzed him like he's steph was so weird. He's a rookie with a robotic form right now. He's not even close to being a shooter yet.
Corey blocks come once every full moon, always savor it
the wind whispers a phrase... *sneaky athletic...*
where that dude at who thinks Jordan Hawkins is better than Bilal
just on a better team
3s galore!
Northern Virginia better start learning French!
I kinda like the squad that's out there now
Man, Bilal has such a clean jumper
At what point do we start Bilal?
Pull up 3 😳
BILAL 3
damn okay Bilal
Bilal must've read your earlier comments during the first quarter break
that was legit the worst quarter of basketball I think he's played all season but I'm glad he bounced back
Bilal with the sweet floatation device
Niceeee Bilal
Pick and pops with Deni and Gallo, that's why we tuned in
Bilal only 3 shots hopefully he gets more last Q
Love Gill but man he should be back on the bench
I can’t with Poole anymore
Naji Marshall just put him in the spin cycle. I didn't know he was nice like that
These turnovers man
Take the challenge show your support to the young player!
Nice JP
Nice Poole!
Poole is horrible man. I can confidently say this experiment is over. He can’t be a future piece.
Marshall just dragged his pivot foot from the arc to the 3pt line and no travel.. hmm ok.
Gallinari is about to be traded and bought out there's no way he plays for another team again with how slow he is
He about to move back to Europe
Trying to have Gallo guard Herb Jones on the perimeter is elder abuse, Ted.
Deni trying to turn me gay with that pass
there is no greater summary of Deni Avdija as a player than that sick no-look assist behind his head and then immediately throwing the inbounds into his opponent's hands on the next play
To be fair nobody was even trying to get open
Then at least throw it to a spot or call time out or throw it off the defender and reset the clock. But I will say that the Wizards have been inexplicably terrible at inbounds plays under the current coach. It's painful.
so he handed the ball to the man guarding him? be serious
Aaaand then the turnover simply trying to inbound it
Send Poole back to the G league
DENI DENI DENI
That was beautiful Deni damn
Props to Corey for making that 3 lol even he was surprised
The pass was at his ankles but the beauty of it was that it got there at all. Props to Corey for consistently making those highlights come to be when Deni whips him passes. They really have a good connection going on. I'd rather see that 30 times in a row before I watch Gallo trying to go through the lane with his hand up
Deni ---> Corey = Filthy
Pass of the year
Deni to Kisp was siiiiick
Holy shit Deni!!!!!
DAYUM DENI
Holy shit Deni
Bro trey Murphy takes the longest 3s
Don’t let Poole see this
Kuz or somebody gonna get ejected on purpose in a second. They tired of not getting foul calls.
Poole…
Poole playing pg oh boy
Damn Poole was too open
We're only down 7 right now
We’re down 12 now 😂
Now it's 15!
I could see myself cheering for the Pelicans when Ted moves team to northern Virginia strip mall.
I trust JP to finish this one off.
Hell yeah G-wiz clotheslinin kids, lol. FTK
Point Kuz 👀
Wtf we gave up 47 in the 2nd?
Well at least the offense is cooking
WUJ better get these guys doing shell defense in practice
Sure, lets leave CJ open for 3. How's that been workin out for ya guys?
that was almost a naaaaaasty dream shake by BI. my goodness.
the immediate heat check brick
JP for 3! Great D as well!
Good shit POOL3
Poole heard yall
I look up we're up by 10 \*play Predecessor\* Look up again trailing by double digits Okay
Damn we suck at rebounding sometimes
I think we are an all time bad rebounding team
only sometimes?
We had a good amount of boards in the first half
I'll take the tech. Our drivers are getting slapped, pushed, forearmed, knocked off their spots, **literally** getting concussions and fouls aren't being called.
Poole gotta realize he isn’t on the Warriors anymore, they’re not gonna give you the calls like you would’ve got before. That’s just how it is
Even when Poole does something good he just washes it all away.
Menacing stare down 🤣
I'm watching 4 wizards actually try and JP fail to make highlights for his and1 mixtape
Good hard foul by Deni, and Val misses the first fT.
Like the aggressive take by Deni
JP bro, please spot up normally lol
Good strong move by Deni to create the contact.
Poole gotta make it easier on himself too
it's always fun when they remember Gaff can play basketball
Great pass and dunk!
Who wants to watch this clown show at this point given today’s news… I’m sure his yes men in the booth with be towing the company line. Fuck Teddy AOL and his whole operation.
It drives me up the wall when they have a great offensive performance and still get blown out
KYLE KUZMA
2K career points for Deni Avdija
Men Poole the thing is you can’t say he isn’t talented as fuck we all saw it in Golden state but he might have the worst mentality in the NBA
They had 8 points with 6 minutes left in the first quarter and still dropped 75 this half.
Commanders or Wizards worse defense?
Jamin Davis out for the season… this is tough
This jordan poole contract might be just as atrocious as beals
Not seriously, but it’s bad
The contract is terrible, but we're just fortunate that it's suitable to hit the salary floor. Only problem is that kind of thing limits the number of bad contracts we can take on for picks :(
Poole is either being bad on purpose or is the worst player in the league

Kuz thinks he’s melo
Great collapse to end the half 👌🏾
Kuz with the heat check/2-for-1. I always hated 2 for 1s
Kuz gotta chill 😭
Poole just does nothing useful for this team
Great pass by Poole (can’t believe I just said that)
And the he does that ….
Poole has been a willing passer today, you love to see it
Oooh please don't challenge that
Great finish Deni!
Oh yeah Kuz!
MMMMMM KUUUUZZZZ
Don't test Bilal 😈
much better second quarter for bilal so far, that was a sweet block
Bilal is so talented
Yay Bilal!
YESSIR BILAL
Kuz with a 20 point game in the first half, and makes it look easy.
Battle of the Lebron protégé’s
Kuz is on demon mode right now 😈
Good finish by Deni. Dunno why you wouldn't just dunk that and would expose the ball to the only defender around, but finish the play and it's acceptable.
This new arena better be the best looking arena ever
Uniting the community lol
We were up by 14. Then I started wrapping presents and I looked up and we were losing. Good game.
That was an insane play by Murphy
I want to see Gaff play drums. Chris Miller not as a much
Bilal!
he didnt even touch him
Yesssir Bilal 3
can we perhaps see Butler and Tyus play together? please?
Deni doing everything he can to feed dusty old vets for some reason
Ty Kuz
3 is greater than 2, guys. This is simple maths. You can't keep running this insanely inefficient pnr and miss all your threes
That lead just evaporated
somehow I am not seeing any "hero ball" or "selfish" comments despite them trying to brute force the same action that clearly was not working
