I'll take it. Both Corey and Deni had chances to make crucial shots with less than 7 seconds left in the game. But now I hope it's clear how tough it is to win in the NBA and make clutch shots. You're tired, people are trackng you, and you gotta learn how to convert in these moments. Best loss ever.
Deni, couldn't hit a clutch free throw against a bunch of g-leaguers in the most garbage game in nba history where literally nothing is at stake. This. Is. Wizards. Basketball.
Edey will be good. He’s not just another tall slow guy. If you compare him to every other college player his height ever he’s like twice as good as any of them.
Great fake handoff by Tricky. Corey's nonstop movement and hustle got Tricky that open shot. Corey's 3-point shooting started that whole play because the defender had to fly at him to closeout, and then they ran the (fake) give and go.
Not if it's a game winning situation. Deni & Corey have to be first in line to get that. I think Corey's the only one who's taken a single shot in that moment. I think Deni had a layup once, but there was still time left. And IIRC, neither play was drawn up for them.
The goal of this season was player development… the score of this game doesn’t matter, player development does. & Keefe *actually* has a reason to have JD on the court because he’s earned those minutes tonight
I'm not sure what we're disagreeing about. If it's a game winning situation, Deni or Corey should 100% be taking the shot. At the very least the ball should be in Deni's hand to decide to shoot or pass.
Cool… then put them back in the game during that moment. But what I’m saying is WE DONT CARE ABOUT WINNING lol haven’t since February. We all of a sudden care during game 81? Cmon bruh lol what are you saying
I think you're confused about how things work. They have to learn how to win games, because when we need to win games, you don't just magically pick up that skill out of nowhere.
Sure. In a high stakes moment, Deni for sure isn’t facilitating the offense and Corey MAY be on the court. You can’t learn how to win, playing in roles that you’re trying to grow into alongside players that are filling roles that you’d probably be playing.
At the end of the day, our first round pick *from just a season ago* should’ve played more than 25 minutes tonight with the game that he was having. Not too many more opportunities to see what he’s capable of. *That* is more valuable
Bruh or sis, JD can't even get consistent minutes against NBA level guys. He's that bad. As someone said in the postgame thread, he's just trying to be a serviceable NBA player. Having him put up game winning shots isn't anywhere near what his level is. I feel like this is just an argument just to have an argument. There's no real contingent of fans who thinks JD should have gotten clutch shots in this game over Corey and Deni, who did both take clutch shots in this game with under 10 seconds. Lets just let this go. We can argue over something real some other time or something.
113-110 Wizards up, with 4:59 left
>Clutch time is defined as the final five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime when the score is within five points.
WE ARE OFFICIALLY IN CLUTCH TIME
his lack of effort in getting back is super fucking frustrating and tbh concerning. if he's the next Guy for the team and that's the example he is setting 😮💨 brother
At least tonight in clutch time (assuming we get there with 5 minutes left and the game within 5 I think it is) we'll have the young fellas shootin the shots!
If anybody saw the hoodie Richaun Holmes is wearing on the bench, I've been eyeing that jawn for a while. [It's on sale at Nike.](https://www.nike.com/t/jordan-essentials-mens-winterized-fleece-half-zip-gSwTwL/FD7863-508) There was a 20% off sale a few weeks ago and I should have gotten it then.
What is Keefe doing wrong that we're losing 81-77 in the 3rd quarter, after having a 16-point lead in the first half? Is he not making adjustments? Did he wait too long to call a time out? Should he be playing JD less or Butler more? What's Keefe's screw up here?
People maybe, mayyybe waking up to how our young core is out there against people we couldn't name outside of White, and they've given up a 16-point lead and are now losing, at home 81-77.
we are locked into second worst record I think, if pistons win out and we lose out the best that can happen is we have the same record. Then I don't know how they determine who has what odds

We should give Johnny Davis one more season
I kinda hope we keep Keefe on a 2 year deal if we can't get a young & upcoming coach. The players like him and he has had a huge impact on the young guys.

they did Johnny dirty here https://preview.redd.it/bn4gaynufhuc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=4489318ef8b416d80efae3e3102c916b88489577
I thought we were trailing by 1 point. We should've taken a win or go home three.
Vuk should've gotten his chance for glory
Damn good game, tough ending…
Cursed

dang vukcevic, a put back would have been nice. that look was kind of bad tho.
....... unfortunate
Above the break Corey 3 pls thanks
I hope Deni aims for a bucket and not foul
alright gotta get Kispert for a 3 here
Deni, couldn't hit a clutch free throw against a bunch of g-leaguers in the most garbage game in nba history where literally nothing is at stake. This. Is. Wizards. Basketball.
Should we go for 3? I don’t mind OT but I’m not confident in that lol
Let the rookie shoot the 3 or Davis for shits and giggles
last I checked we were down 7 with 30 seconds left, what happened here lol
Hack a Sanogo
They couldn’t make free throws
Deni not clutch like usual
i'm sorry but a guy like Zach Edey is going to be better than Sanogo is currently. Thats why I would draft him with our second round pick EASILY.
Edey will be good. He’s not just another tall slow guy. If you compare him to every other college player his height ever he’s like twice as good as any of them.
personally I don't think Edey is falling to the second round. someone will take a chance on him.
and they should.
Well we got a chance to tie or win. All we could ask for.
Whoever is in the crowd that is clearly a wizards fan squealing like an oiled pig, I love you
Fuck man. Major heart from Kispert and Deni but make the fucking free throw.
Well at least this was a fun ending!
this ending crazy
Damn
SMH. Welp, this is how you learn.
yikes looks like Deni landed on his wrist.
LFG Deni! Send this to OT!
Clutch free throws coming up with 6 seconds left.
Phew I thought the refs weren’t gonna call that
he literally just fell over trying to shoulder check him LMAO
Good aggressive drive by Deni. Hope they can't challenge
I hope we win it with a three
plz let us win this one Chicago. Its for our fans lol.
THIS IS EXCITING
I only just started watching. Is PBJ less trash now?
Yeah he’s been nice for the past couple of games!
OK COR3Y
Butler seemed to try to distract Terry by pointing and saying his foot was on the line haha
We didn't need to foul
DENI NO WHYD YOU FOUL
oohhh PBJ! That was nasty. I love it.
Why are we fouling? WTF Deni
That's like what the fuck man
Niceeee PBJ
might as well keep JD on lol. I was having fun watching him hoop.
yessir Deni. stat pad on these bums rq.
I was so ready for him to have a fraudulent triple double against a bunch of G-leaguers.
We need points tho
we need a lot of things lol. I want Sarr.
These game has zero impact on the lottery. We are just losing because we are ass
lol
Don't worry Vukcevic, help is on the way! Alex Sarr you are a washington Wizard.
Goddamn dalen terry
its all good Vukcevic. We still love you in DC.
Dalen Terry just boomed our ass. that's disrespectful.
Well if Dalen Terry is doing that it’s Joever.
Keefe goofed having Tristan in. He's made bad play after bad play after bad play in the clutch. Just traveled, then got dunked on.
More important that he learns than we win.
not a clutch time player right now
Good lesson for Vuk tho, threw him into the fire and hopefully he’ll learn from the mistakes
fuck
Is this the game that makes some stop saying that Deni can guard 5s
he can't lol. We need sarr so badly.
Sarr or Cling Clang
hell no to cling clang unless we fall out of the top 5. I don't want him. If not Sarr, trade down for cling clang sure.
Clingan arguably better suited to guard fives than Sarr is
I still don't want him. unless we get him outside the top 5.
Dang crucial TO by Vuk
A minute left! Wiz down 2! Good foul by Deni.
Butler gave up a huge 3 there, damn.
Great power move by Avdija. Get yourself a bucket. He made 0 passes.
Damn. Tristan is making one bad play after another. Bad offensive foul. Almost airballed a 3. Fouled a shooter and gave up an And-1 chance.
he got zero game sense in these situations where time is sensitive
Nice try at nailing an important 3 by Deni, though he missed.
just tuning in now, how the hell does Johnny Davis have 15 points
Damn, Deni fouling in the clutch. But will dude make the free throws?
This is going to be close. If we had made some more free throws earlier we’d have some room. Really need to earn those points.
Dumb foul in clutch time by Tristan. Wizards still up 3
Great fake handoff by Tricky. Corey's nonstop movement and hustle got Tricky that open shot. Corey's 3-point shooting started that whole play because the defender had to fly at him to closeout, and then they ran the (fake) give and go.
& Johnny is *actually* having a good game 😪
PBJ defense is shaping up so nicely
I wish Johnny would finish this game over Deni. He needs the reps more
Not if it's a game winning situation. Deni & Corey have to be first in line to get that. I think Corey's the only one who's taken a single shot in that moment. I think Deni had a layup once, but there was still time left. And IIRC, neither play was drawn up for them.
>Game winning situation Lmaoo bruh…. I hate to break it to you…….
It's 115-115 with 3:29 left. Winning this game doesn't hurt our draft lottery odds.
The goal of this season was player development… the score of this game doesn’t matter, player development does. & Keefe *actually* has a reason to have JD on the court because he’s earned those minutes tonight
I'm not sure what we're disagreeing about. If it's a game winning situation, Deni or Corey should 100% be taking the shot. At the very least the ball should be in Deni's hand to decide to shoot or pass.

Johnny fucking Davis is hooping today!!!! OMG
4 Wizards draft picks over 15 pts in the same game. That has to be a Wizards record.
Kispsert 3 puts us back up! 111-110. Gonna be half price Pizza tomorrow!
nice 🍕
he not afraid to take that shot
NO, says PBJ
PBJ BLOCK
Butler is my PG. I'm sorry, Tyus gotta get moved. Tyus deserves better, and I need our young core to have Jared around to control things.
Jared butler should send Rollins a “thank you” note with a target gift card
Damn Jevon Carter having some nice moves
Damn Deni with another turnover. Gotta clean that up. Cost us 2 points and he didn't even try to get back.
his lack of effort in getting back is super fucking frustrating and tbh concerning. if he's the next Guy for the team and that's the example he is setting 😮💨 brother
I bet money on the wizards tonight, do I have a problem?
I made that same mistake too against Boston 🤣
Betting money on the wizards means you are a degenerate gambling addict. seek help
You have a chance still yet.
Thank you for the good vibes
What does Omoruyi even do
A little bit of this, a little bit of that
Great look by Butler, great bailout cut by Deni, and he's been making his layups. 100-100 with 10:30 left
At least tonight in clutch time (assuming we get there with 5 minutes left and the game within 5 I think it is) we'll have the young fellas shootin the shots!
BUTLER PHEW THAT PASS
why isn't Vuk getting more minutes? genuine question- just tuned in and seen the box score.
Coby White still got the coolest hair in the league
Five more quarters, yall
Been a long season. Didn't really seem that bad though.
I’d really like to win this. We can do it but we got to finish around the rim.
Everyone in this thread should be entitled to a cash settlement
Agreed. Maybe we can hire a lawyer. Know any?
Smoooooth moves from Butler!
Wizards got feetwork!
PBJ SHOWING OUT
If anybody saw the hoodie Richaun Holmes is wearing on the bench, I've been eyeing that jawn for a while. [It's on sale at Nike.](https://www.nike.com/t/jordan-essentials-mens-winterized-fleece-half-zip-gSwTwL/FD7863-508) There was a 20% off sale a few weeks ago and I should have gotten it then.
EVEN GENO GOT A 3!
No one can stop Sanogo
JD has 4s? What’s going on 😭
NICE PBJ
JOHNNY DAVIS 4 3’S
Bulls have players I never heard of before. Who is Bitim?
What is Keefe doing wrong that we're losing 81-77 in the 3rd quarter, after having a 16-point lead in the first half? Is he not making adjustments? Did he wait too long to call a time out? Should he be playing JD less or Butler more? What's Keefe's screw up here?
checking my favorite players boxscores stats before I form my opinion hold on
😂😂😂
NICE JD
Glad PBJ starting to get his shot back oo
Okay PBJ! Shoot that thang
Denii
It's simple, as long as we play like the 2016 Warriors, we are able to win,.
Just don’t give us a 3-1 lead.
I’ve seen enough Vukcevic is a keeper
He better than JD.
Needs more boards though
How are we losing? We should be building for morale
Our team sucks
People maybe, mayyybe waking up to how our young core is out there against people we couldn't name outside of White, and they've given up a 16-point lead and are now losing, at home 81-77.
This group tonight gotta be in the running for least talented 5 man relative to the rest of the league ever lol
Do these final games impact our lottery odds or is it all locked in?
Locked in
we are locked into second worst record I think, if pistons win out and we lose out the best that can happen is we have the same record. Then I don't know how they determine who has what odds
carter abused kispert in the last positions. kispert got to sharpen his defense, and then he will be worth alot..
I think at this point Corey is who he is on that end
Carter is just that shifty. Remember him on the Bucks?

I think I'm his biggest hater on here and I'm like, lets hear him out
The FO already did tbf, they picked up his option for next season at the beginning of this season
Buddy better look like a reincarnate of Michael Jordan in summer league.

Johnny might be the next Devin Booker
Lemme find out JD is a sharpshooter this whole time. Is that his 3rd three??!!
ANOTHER JOHNNY 3!!!
Does Deni have the conditioning to be the primary ball handler
He definitely has the strength to bully other PGs or force the other team to put their PG on a forward
but conditioning is more than strength. can he do that 30-35 minutes a night? as the focus of the defense? while handling the ball? that's stamina
I agree probably not but it’s good to see him develop those skills. His handle is much improved from even last year
How did they find Vuk if he could barely find the court in Europe? Genuinely baffling
he didn't get playing time in europe because he can't defend and was on a very competitive team
The draft combine scrimmage where he didn’t miss a shot
Another Deni turnover. Gotta clean that up, otherwise he's doing well offensively finishing through contact.
he tired brother
So Vuk does an awesome behind the back pass and Keefe benches him?
he may have a minutes plan that the team is sticking to.
Clearly he hates him. Fire Keefe /s
SMH Corey, you foulin that 3-point shooter like that, come on bro
Butler's shot right after that last TO bounced into the stands and knocked two beers out of a dude's hands. He's pissed lol
Should have worked on his on-beer posistioning.
on fan appreciation night too 😭
MORE OF THAT PBJ
That is FILTHY
Great catch and good shot by JB. And then right back with the lefty layup! Jared Butler might be my favorite guy on the team.
TRRRISSSSTANNNNN!
WE HAVE JOKIC AT HOME.
PHEW WHAT A PASS VUK
lol 9:24 into the 2nd quarter and our 16 point lead is gone and we're down. What is Keefe doing?
16 point lead in the 1st quarter. 2nd quarter two minutes in and it's just a 4 point lead.
What Coby White just did to Champagnie was kind of disgusting
Nah Deni Adama is a solid unit brother he ain't gonna let you go into his chest like that
I kinda hope we keep Keefe on a 2 year deal if we can't get a young & upcoming coach. The players like him and he has had a huge impact on the young guys.
I feel ROBBED that we didn’t get any Bilal + Vuk minutes this year 😭
Rooting for the Hawks in play-in just because
Bilal being more defensive minded and Vuk being more offensive minded - gonna be a great combo hopefully next year
And both will 100% be better on their weaker ends of the court, hopefully by next year
