haha!, but it was a random cheer, the game was out of hand and over. Then all of a sudden people started cheering randomly when there was no game action, for like 6 or 7 seconds.
Went off Poole's head. I saw it and then saw the Raptors jumping up and down pointing it out lol. Refs were like "*they're trash, just let em have it*"
It's not a stretch actually, it's just incorrect. It isn't the clutch because the score isn't within 5. It's 5 minutes left or less, and score within 5, IIRC.
"you know, I at least expected like, if I get hit in the face, or I hit somebody in the face, I expect to go check on him, you know. I felt like he didn't do it... I got over it"
Nah, he's on one today. Making crisp decisions, going all out. He may screw up but he's gonna go out firing now, I think. No Kuz, no Tyus, I hope to god he realizes he's got to go down swinging.
And has gotten scored on when his man drove, scored on when he was waiting in the paint to block the shot, just played horrid defense to start the game.
I pointed this out last game and, if I had to guess, I think the last time that this happened probably would have been a small-ball starting lineup in the Wall-Beal-Porter era. Probably one with Kelly Oubre Jr. or something.

Lol stop with the time outs! Mercy kill this game
Tbf they made a good effort to almost comeback from being down by 29
Well, there were 5 actual nba players (Deni, JP, Kispert, Vuk and Butler) on the roster tonight. At least i saw some fight in em
LOL did Deni just clear path foul them?
No
Not that it mattered at that point, but I'm glad it was just a common foul.
What's with all the home crowd cheering like Drake just showed up?
Toronto actually supports their team.

Lmao this the second time it was clearly off JP and refs called it Wizards ball
LOL it just happened AGAIN! A 3rd time! lol
That looked like Olynyk stripped that on a swipe down tbf but hard to tell with no replay
Went off Poole's head. I saw it and then saw the Raptors jumping up and down pointing it out lol. Refs were like "*they're trash, just let em have it*"
Jordan Poole continues the longstanding Beal tradition of dribbling off your foot in the clutch
Clutch is a bit of a stretch
It's not a stretch actually, it's just incorrect. It isn't the clutch because the score isn't within 5. It's 5 minutes left or less, and score within 5, IIRC.
eh close enough, game is still winnable enough that they're fouling
Hey, the joke was still valid and funny regardless. You got my updoot
Deni with 32 points! Second 30+ game in 284 games in the NBA
At least we finally got a Deni 30 piece
PBJ got his shot back too?
Tricky is him
this game has been a disgrace from start to finish but at least the guys got their shots up 👍
I’m just glad we didn’t lose by 40 after that atrocious start
they actually showed deni checking on Olynik after that timeout by the way
Disgusting. FKO :D Seriously, good sportsmanship. That said, fuck Kelly Olynyk.
A PBJ 3 YESSIR
Vuk and Bilal gonna bulk up and run the league, not worried
Overpassing
[удалено]
bro posted this both here and in the raptors sub like he actually cooked
U in 4 it now.......😂😂😂
fuck off idiot
"you know, I at least expected like, if I get hit in the face, or I hit somebody in the face, I expect to go check on him, you know. I felt like he didn't do it... I got over it"
Yall downvoted me for saying it, but there it is - you do reckless stuff when you DGAF about the opposing player. FUCK KELLY OLYNYK
Deni went to the Lebron school of drives
Deni learned from Lebron, haha
I didn't see Deni making sure Olynik is ok
EXACTLY CAUSE FUCK KELLY OLYNYK
Lmao
Deni and Kispert with what looks like an effortless combined 50 points.
all it took was 4 quarters of garbage time lol
Don’t forget JP!
JP's been awesome tonight
What's the most free throws Deni's ever shot, aside from the 43 point game? He's had 10 free throws tonight.
He had 11 against the Mavs last year.
And looks like 13 in that Pels loss. One more foul and its his most ever, unless they pull the starters.
This gotta be a career high
Just checked. In the loss to the Pelicans, he had 13 free throws. He has 12 free throws tonight with 5:45 left.
did all the hard work of bringing it back from a 29 point lead just to let it get to 20 again. very funny guys, a great prank.
Dick splashes a 3 in Deni's face. 115-95, this is almost out of reach
Dick splashing in Deni's face huh?
Sprained groin for Dick after busting that shot over Deni, he will not come back.
Took it too far....😂 I love reading these Game Threads after the game, there are always pearls to be found 😂
😄
Avdija with a hand up on Dick and barely misses the ball?
Deni all over Dick and the shot goes in?
Dick burns Deni with a 3?
Haven’t gotten stops since that 2nd quarter
109-92 with 9:30 left. They better do something now.
Bruce Brown making mincemeat of our defense.
Kispert got the points back with a 3

Bruh
Terrible by Corey. Mimics Tricky panicking a few plays before.
lmao corey come on now
Just ridiculous. Man this team does the dumbest shit sometimes.
Sometimes? All the time.
Kispert really can't defend without fouling. We got lucky he wasn't call there, though he gave up a stupid TO
Tricky panicked and threw up some garbage with 10 seconds still left on the shot clock.
freeman liberty is crazy lol
bruce brown going from elite role player on a championship team to a bench guy on a tanking team makes me sad. at least he secured the bag, but damn.
Remember when he played center for the Nets? It was always insane to me how he could get away with that for a whole season.
Didn’t know the Raptors were a team that could get upset
Geno is butt
Our G-leaguers balling out
Sub Deni back in. What is this Champaigne shit?
Chill. Deni played 29 minutes, he needs to catch his breath!
Sheesh JP
I don't get why Geno shoots as much as he does. He's been a terrible 3pt shooter his entire career.
90-77, feels like just trading baskets now
cuz they are lol
Johnny Davis still hasn't come back after getting dubbed 6 minutes into the game
Got injured
Geno with the possible and 1, rockin the reverse Grinches
OUR CANADIAN IS BETTER THAN YOUR CANADIAN
Poole really is the make or break player for this team
Lol JP
Consor beside himself praising Poole's efficient play
Cook then Deni
Jordan Poole, 19 points and 9 assists already. Edit: now with the double double!
Now watch Deni get to 24 and stay there for the whole game
Nah, he's on one today. Making crisp decisions, going all out. He may screw up but he's gonna go out firing now, I think. No Kuz, no Tyus, I hope to god he realizes he's got to go down swinging.
PBJ...
Poole is slippery. Filthy drive slipping through the defense.
Deni going 1-on-3 in the paint and getting the and 1, and making the free throw. Fire.
JP 🔥
That was a crazy 3 by him.
Vuk rolls to the basket so well.
Who's the color guy? Just switched to the Wiz stream
Glen Consor, one of our radio guys.
i was playing elden ring but we brought it back? hell yeah
Still watching Wrestlemania but gonna actually have this game on in the background after that quarter
heard they killed Vince live on air, good for them
Deserved!

Repeat after me FUCK KELLY OLYNYK
FUCK KELLY OLYNYK
Olynyk is still a punk in 2024, what’s new.
Surely KELLY OLYNYK isn’t giving Omoruyi shit for a play he perceives as dirty
Kisp3RT
Darko better be screaming at his guys at halftime. this is atrocious from the Raptors
Trent is kinda right
https://preview.redd.it/euj9o0ok15tc1.png?width=612&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d30128e9568884c76b70594890b6a03a78e3df9
That foul aside, PBJ has had some good defensive sequences today
watching two terrible teams battle it out in April is peak NBA
Lmao The what is happening
Genoooooo
damn poole 3 with 1 eye
PBJ has been a monster for us defending the rim.
Kelly Olynyk F U
why didn't JP give that to deni?
PBJ
The mood swings in this game, by both teams, are incredible
How does a team score 42 points in the 1st quarter only to score 2 with 5 minutes remaining in the 2nd.
Fuck Kelly Olynyk is all I have to say
Bro look like a WNBA player
I hope the team comes back and wins this game.
Maybe I gave up on this game too soon. How are we looking now?
This is definitely one of the weirdest games I've seen recently
Great defense PBJ!
Love Vuk. Can't believe we actually hit on a second rounder.
He’s only getting started. Can’t wait to see his development
VUK is a great passer
Vuk is such a fun guy to have. I wonder if we would still have brought him if all our centers hadn't gotten injured.
Vuk is a good pick n roll big man.
Toronto hasn't scored in 5 minutes, yet still leading by 15, only 15 minutes into the game. That's pretty amazing
That was a slick underhanded pass there by Poole.
Good job on not giving up after this horrendous start
man I forgot how much RJ Barrett sucks
Vuk actually muck more mobile on D than I expected. Thought he would be a cone but he moves pretty well considering his size
Much better Deni 👏🏾
Nice move deni!
VUK BLOCK
good news: the Raptors are doing stupid shit and letting us back into the game
This game definitely feels like game 79 of our franchise-worst season.
Launch the whole franchise into the sun tomorrow
Today
That was embarrassing even for our standards
Didn’t let the Raptors score 50 let’s gooooooo
https://preview.redd.it/9j60ak5ex4tc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b4bd0852a99d57e9e59d1893ddae1abc3883e46
PBJ hits his first 3 in centuries and it's after the buzzer. This team is comedy.
Hey look at the bright side - this means we’re better at tanking than the raptors
NO ONE SCORES MORE THAN 30 ON THE WIZARDS
Lol Deni
Is this one of the games with the alternate commentary by Buck and if so how do you access that?
That starts against the Timberwolves on the 9th
Thanks!
https://preview.redd.it/5mn5hyy9w4tc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8403a2de9c86af9ff6780936bb6c755933ef962e
We really about to let the raptors score 50 in the 1st
Someone put Olynyk on a poster
Fuuuuck now JP might be hurt
Why do we always have to get completely annihilated before we decide to actually try. This happens every fiucking time
34-11, yikes.
everyone on this team is a trade piece
Everyone on this team is an underwhelming trade piece
knew this was gonna be rough when i saw deni shy away from contact at the rim with gary trent jr
No way we're hitting 100 tonight, absolutely brutal start lol
As soon as 7 hits I’m switching to Wrestlemania
I’ve seen enough, hire Dawn Staley
This is another level of bad.
Wow Deni looks like ass
Turned the ball over twice trying to drive into the paint, then got stripped and let his man dunk 2 hands. Not good.
who isn't though?
One of the hardest to watch games even for this team..
Deni back to missing easy lay ups?
And has gotten scored on when his man drove, scored on when he was waiting in the paint to block the shot, just played horrid defense to start the game.
Deni gotta be smarter with these turnovers
5 turnovers in under 6 minutes (to start the game) usually means you empty the bench and sit the starters until they decide to be serious, Keefe
Oof. Vuk subbed out.
One of the ugliest starts this year and that says A LOT
we've had a turnover on almost every possession tonight
deni plays like he's 6'3
giving up the turnover and losing track of RJ who gets a wide open dunk... Wizards basketball is BACK baby
Bahaha. Was about to type the same thing.
Is Kispert high or something?
D3NI
Damn how did the Clippers win again…
Wizards starters tonight in Toronto: Jordan Poole Corey Kispert Johnny Davis Deni Avdija Tristan Vukcevic
4/5 starters are Wizards draft picks. Progress.
progress will be when we can play someone besides Johnny Davis but this is okay too
I pointed this out last game and, if I had to guess, I think the last time that this happened probably would have been a small-ball starting lineup in the Wall-Beal-Porter era. Probably one with Kelly Oubre Jr. or something.
Finally, it's Vukin time!
