Also I saw Whiteside and Woodard are questionable. So that’s nifty.

Any word on who’ll be starting in Bagley’s place? The future or a showcase of the past?

Not enough CoJo.

Not enough CoJo.

It’s not who starts games, it’s who ends them!

Our tanking efforts going to be ruined by Walton forced into our best 5 through injury.

I’m currently on a binging rewatch of The Office.

Y’all can be sure I’m going to be paying far more attention to that while this is nothing more than background noise.

Life is so much easier for De'Aaron when they play small.

I’m on my second go around during the pandemic. If I can’t be in an actual office, at least I can pretend I guess.

The Kings should have just kept Len. His screens were one of the only positives in the bubble.

 

[SLAB]

I see our defense is so much improved without the guy who doesn’t play any defense in the game.

 

[SacTownKid]

Len telling the Kings they should've kept him, haha.

Holmes struggling against size on both ends of the court. Exhibt A for why he should be a bench big.

The players don't have that fire. They are pros but that fire they somehow got going during the run is GONE. McNair missed his window for a shakeup.

To be fair, neither team is going to play defense till the last 5 mins of the game.

Or why you should use his abilities as a switch defender in an aggressive extended defense. Trying to play the small ballers as a traditional sit back and take space help defense is stupid.

MY GUY IS BACK

 

[kb02]

Cojo sucks.

I just mean you can see it. It's takes more and more for them to get into it on either end. And the runs tend to get shorter and shorter. The Wiz aren't playing their butts off but some of the role guys are.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Not gonna review that for a flagrant, huh? Len hit him right in the face, brought his hand DOWN to do it.

Outside of Fox, Hassan, and Hali, no one on this team is an average defender. Switching into mismatches all over the court.

Not counting the kids.

I've watched more Wiz games then I care to admit. They're not as bad as the Kings defensively, but they're close.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Man, when Sideshow Bob hits a three against you, it's going to be a long night.

 

[SacTownKid]

They have to get this to flip against the Wiz bench, they're thinner than thin although Avdija is looking pretty good. He's a good athlete, quick feet on both ends.

 

[Livinthedream]

38 points allowed 1st qtr with the teams "best" lineup. I think we need to stop blaming 1 or 2 guys for our defensive issues.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tank commanders CoJo and Bjeli keeping this a Wizards lead despite Fox and Tyrese’s best efforts. Woodard is active tonight but Luke is too afraid of winning to play him.

 

[Livinthedream]

Whiteside has mucked up the game and slowed the scoring down on both sides.

 

[Tetsujin]

Justin James providing effort on both ends of the floor. Now Luke is going to have to send him to the Jabari zone.

 

[SacTownKid]

The good news is Westbrook is playing like garbage. The bad news is they sill lead. WTF? Can we just freaking see Woodard and Ramsey get some run so this purgatory has some potential bright spot in it for ****'s sake?
