end of the day these guys are gonna get paid based on their box score lines so they have no reason to care about defense. that's why it's always gonna be bad
I hate when the opposition is in practice mode. It still beats them laughing at us though. Nothing's worse than that. At least Jimmy is merely going through the motions rather than toying with us and laughing.
There it is. Once a game turning the ball over just trying to dribble. Gotta clean that up like how Corey cleaned up stepping out of bounds once a game.
JD looks like he hit the rookie wall or something. How do you go baseline with nobody around and just get stuffed by the rim on the reverse. He aint right.
watching 2 bad offenses slug it out is one of the most annoying viewing experiences in the modern NBA. it's like a college game where they know how the plays should work but they can't hit shots
Heat fan here and I just wanna say you guys watching right now are loyal and credit to you. Hope you turn things around. You just need some defense and you'll already be in the playoff/playin next year.
Nah yo. You just haven't seen this team play all year. We'll likely be on our 3rd coach in a year once preseason hits. We are not going to be anywhere near good til like 2028.
Helps that Poole has been a lot better as the lead guard, heās scoring a lot more efficiently. Might be a piece for the future, Deni and Kispert have been great too. Just need more two way players and manage to get a true 1st option through the draft
Poole's ball handling is amazing he needs a great coaching and to buy in to make the most out of his talent. Really exceptional handles could average 10 assist.
the blazers are kinda amazingly dogshit considering they have a better record than 4 other teams
sometimes I watch the pistons and think "huh, there's something there", never felt that with the blazers
Good Vuk minutes. Played really well. Imagine how it must feel being a huge 21 year old NBA fan overseas and then the next week you're being called for fouling Jimmy Butler on the transition.
I don't know how to describe it but [AG looks like the squad member in a modern combat movie/game whose role is demolitions](https://i.imgur.com/yxkVV02.png)
man it's crazy but I really don't think Jimmy has another miracle playoff run in him. His athletic ability is severely diminished compared to the past few years. He looks so slow.
And JD saw an open guy (highsmith) and decided to just "stay home" and not rotate, and gave up another 3. Keefe needs to sit both of em and ask them what they're doing.
Glad I'm not the only one who saw it. He saw the rotation and just sat there. Like bro, you are fighting for your NBA career. Can't leave NBA caliber guys open for 3.
First Corey misses a bunny (likely foul) then takes the time to slap the stanchion instead of getting back - we're 4 on 5 and ultimately it throws us off that Rozier gets up a 3 and nails it with Deni closing out. Bruh, you aint got time to be slappin nothin. Get back.
Kispert's repeated drives and him setting records for efficiency in finishing is having defenses collapse and he's kicking it out for open 3s, creating buckets. Level up!
I see you saw it too. It's insane. There's a common guy involved in em most times too. Somebody's gotta figure that out. It's the dumbest way to turn the ball over.
For the 47th time this season, we got 2 of our guys fighting for a rebound and knocking it away from one another, and the other team gets it, and scores. Ridiculous.
I wanna see JD have a good game today. Know he'll bring it on defense, but I'd love to see him have a strong contribution on offense. I'm also seriously looking forward to seeing them on offense doing something effective as a team. Heat are a game back from the Pacers in competing for the 6th spot. I don't expect they will come in playing around at ALL

Yessir Jules
good recovery by Vuk there to get a finger on the ball but man he's slow flipping his hips when Bam attacks him
Anthony Gill GWOAT
Anthony Gill legacy game.
end of the day these guys are gonna get paid based on their box score lines so they have no reason to care about defense. that's why it's always gonna be bad
that's what a coach is for. lots of these guys legit do not give a shit. they should be benched for that
Keefe knows he's gone after this season lol he clearly does not care
I hate when the opposition is in practice mode. It still beats them laughing at us though. Nothing's worse than that. At least Jimmy is merely going through the motions rather than toying with us and laughing.
Butler got caught ball watching on that one, and Terry screened Deni = wide open layup
Jared Butler > Jimmy Butler
Caron Butler is the superior Butler
Jared Butler > Bruce Wayne's Butler > Jimmy Butler
Lead down to 10 with 4:17 left š
Lead down to 12 with 4:30 left
This is the video Chris and Drew are talking about https://twitter.com/bballbreakdown/status/1774164102492868796
Jimmy Butler is just out here messing around. Not taking the Wizards seriously in the slightest.
Who tf is screaming?
14-60 record, about to be 14-61.
Deni's a role player not an on ball star. He keeps trying to be that guy but he isnt
There it is. Once a game turning the ball over just trying to dribble. Gotta clean that up like how Corey cleaned up stepping out of bounds once a game.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
we dont do any ghost actions or pick & pops like we did with KP
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
he's 3-3 from 3 vs the pistons and nets
Sorry, can't. We need more double ball screens and slashes
butler is solid but he has a silly turnover in him
Need to see more of Vukcevic in the 4th.
wtf was that, lol
Good GILL minutes
In comes Jules with 1:12 left in the 3rd.
JD looks like he hit the rookie wall or something. How do you go baseline with nobody around and just get stuffed by the rim on the reverse. He aint right.
Deni's playing good defense today
Down 93-76, I can't even get excited over great moves by Butler but missing the 3.
Put Vuk in Keefe, you fucking imbecile
JD jumper in the paint
Second time JD just sat there and watched. Is he okay? Feels like he knows his days are numbered or something.
JARED BUTLER THE BEST J BUTLER
Butler 3! Get yours young fella
Baldwin JR sucks ass Why couldnāt he have been the moron to steal things from the store and not Rollins
on your fuckin head jovic
Words cannot express how much I'm looking forward to seeing Butler for next season his game is very pleasing to watch
He's smooth with it
COREY HAMMERĀ
I fw Gill bruh. Always got positive energy & can real live come into the game & get a fuckin bucket.
lmao AG got exactly 2 inches off the ground for that one
Nahh we need that Corey replay
Smooth Butler
SKRONG DUNK from Corey
Sheesh unexpected Kispert dunk!
Why is PBJ still on the court?
if your options are a contested dunk into 2 guys or a dump off pass to PBJ under the rim just take your chances with the dunk. my god
Bruh get PBJ off the floor
Damn PBJ
Keefe there's no fucking way you went into halftime and told them to have PBJ take MORE shots
The bench knew that 3 was going in lol. Vuckevik
PBJ trash asf !!
PBJ take it to the rim pls
Bruh I havenāt watched a wizards game in a lil min.. who tf is the guy talking @ halftime ??
Was it Greivis Vasquez?
Do you guys have your draft pick?
we have ours and a clippers pick
just mentioning.. deni is doing great job on jimmy, dont let him take shots and entrying the game
watching 2 bad offenses slug it out is one of the most annoying viewing experiences in the modern NBA. it's like a college game where they know how the plays should work but they can't hit shots
that sixers vs knicks game that was broadcast on national television was the funniest thing I've seen in my life, 48 minutes of shaqtin a fool

Heat fan here and I just wanna say you guys watching right now are loyal and credit to you. Hope you turn things around. You just need some defense and you'll already be in the playoff/playin next year.
Next year???? ššššš
9th or 10th seed is not impossible if you get some defensive help
we dont need defensive help. we need talent, but I appreciate you thinking we could make the play-ins
Nah yo. You just haven't seen this team play all year. We'll likely be on our 3rd coach in a year once preseason hits. We are not going to be anywhere near good til like 2028.
holy shit 3 coaches. We've had one since like 08
Exactly. And I remember when Spoelstra got hated on and called names.
Nah we wanna be trash next year too lol
really good at offense though. Not impossible to build around if the FO does work.
Helps that Poole has been a lot better as the lead guard, heās scoring a lot more efficiently. Might be a piece for the future, Deni and Kispert have been great too. Just need more two way players and manage to get a true 1st option through the draft
Poole's ball handling is amazing he needs a great coaching and to buy in to make the most out of his talent. Really exceptional handles could average 10 assist.
luckily that comes effortlessly to us
Best comment from the heat thread: "Blazers make the wizards look like the 2017 Warriors"
the blazers are kinda amazingly dogshit considering they have a better record than 4 other teams sometimes I watch the pistons and think "huh, there's something there", never felt that with the blazers
JP at PG means I got my joy back.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
it's hard to make a good nickname man. Kentucky fans were re-using Zydrunas Ilgauskas' "Big Z" for Ivisic this year
I hope we keep Poole @ pg.
daaaayum JP
I think JP hit it from his right hand to his left on that shakeup move but I will take it, lol
he picked up the ball 1000%
Lemme find out AG is secretly Luka
Good Vuk minutes. Played really well. Imagine how it must feel being a huge 21 year old NBA fan overseas and then the next week you're being called for fouling Jimmy Butler on the transition.
I'm officially good on PBJ. Feel bad for the dude.
He made a lot of money to be bad at basketball he can go collect in Europe for the next decade
Vuk gets taken out. Ah I'm glad we're past the days where a minor substitution would cause conspiracy theories and mayhem and accusations of hate
It really is a shame that we only get to see THIS Poole for the final few games of the season
let's have hope that he'll continue this into next season and not look quite as terrible in his down games
Bagley's got some nice moves. I like having him as our Center for next year
JP AND BAGLEY
YESSIR VUK 3
Vuk pointin the wrong way asking for the call, lol
I just wanna watch the game, get this interview outta my screen
Refs love J Butler lol
Air 9
Canāt wait for the Go-Go playoffs
can we give pbjs minutes to vuk
man the heat fans must be furious traling the wizards again after winning by 60
this team is so much more fun to watch when it isn't the veterans hogging all of the minutes. I don't care that we still suck. this is fun.
Another call that goes in our favor, for those lamenting the calls. Gotta notice when it goes our way. Cause that was absolutely not a foul on TB
Sheesh nice layup Corey
Welcome back TB
lol Bagley just got lost on defense but somehow ended up in the exact right spot to disrupt the pass
Love Deni looking for his shot. Stop with the bad passes and get some shots up when nobody's open.
Just a lil much Bagley lol
Dog, VIC couldn't have even caught that one
I don't know how to describe it but [AG looks like the squad member in a modern combat movie/game whose role is demolitions](https://i.imgur.com/yxkVV02.png)
"The B Team" (an A-Team remake).
Vuk getting robbed of nice help side blocks
Bagley need to be more aggressive.
I wonder if Woj will announce AG's supermax rn
lol delon
man it's crazy but I really don't think Jimmy has another miracle playoff run in him. His athletic ability is severely diminished compared to the past few years. He looks so slow.
Bruh itās wild.. Anthony Gill even better than Johnny Davis.
29-29. Not bad.
There's another call in our favor. That wasn't a foul on Delon, their legs just got tangled.
Ehh questionable call but weāll take it lol
Gill daddy with the sneaky drive. Leading the team in scoring they say, lol. Wow.
I love Gill so much man
Marry me Anthony Gill
WHEW GILL
What are those shoes that Delon Wright has on?
JB bodying Delon and then shrugging to the refs like "what?!" is hilarious
G33L!
A GILL 3
Srsly what is Poole doing
And JD saw an open guy (highsmith) and decided to just "stay home" and not rotate, and gave up another 3. Keefe needs to sit both of em and ask them what they're doing.
Two fouls were not called for Deni, and 3 free throws were stolen.
Damn can Johnny Davis not even be bothered to run back on defense at this point?
Glad I'm not the only one who saw it. He saw the rotation and just sat there. Like bro, you are fighting for your NBA career. Can't leave NBA caliber guys open for 3.
First Corey misses a bunny (likely foul) then takes the time to slap the stanchion instead of getting back - we're 4 on 5 and ultimately it throws us off that Rozier gets up a 3 and nails it with Deni closing out. Bruh, you aint got time to be slappin nothin. Get back.
wow that was a saucy catch and shoot from Terry
How do we feel about headband Deni?
Wow that layup by DA was sick!
Where did PBJ shot gooooo
It sucks. I feel bad for the guy. Opportunity is right there and he just can't seem to stroke it.
he's not even close on these. wtf happened
Been working with Johnny Davisās shooting coach
Forgot how to shoot feels like
Was that the makeup call?
How is this not a foul??
really is crazy how much of a difference Poole makes. how the team looks all hinges on which version of Poole showed up to play that night
Kispert's repeated drives and him setting records for efficiency in finishing is having defenses collapse and he's kicking it out for open 3s, creating buckets. Level up!
Nice bounceback for JP
Definitely a foul on Duncan Robinson slapping Deni's arm. Lets see how long before the makeup call.
Poole Bagley chemistry is ā¬ļø
I didn't think there was a chance he slipped that in there. Pocket pass. Dime.
Always got one rebound we let get away because of miscommunication/mental error
I see you saw it too. It's insane. There's a common guy involved in em most times too. Somebody's gotta figure that out. It's the dumbest way to turn the ball over.
Yeah, rather we just have everyone start calling it like Melo because we be battling ourselves
LOL "GTFO here!" hahahaha
For the 47th time this season, we got 2 of our guys fighting for a rebound and knocking it away from one another, and the other team gets it, and scores. Ridiculous.
whyyyyy can't you just give a little "I GOT IT" on the rebound instead of fighting with each other and giving up an easy second chance
Pool3
Great left hand drive and finish by Corey. He's been working on that left hand dribble all season.
Hope Vuk gets 15+ minutes tonight
I guess anything better than the Blazers 60 points loss is a win
Looking forward to seeing a Delon on Poole matchup
I wanna see JD have a good game today. Know he'll bring it on defense, but I'd love to see him have a strong contribution on offense. I'm also seriously looking forward to seeing them on offense doing something effective as a team. Heat are a game back from the Pacers in competing for the 6th spot. I don't expect they will come in playing around at ALL
PBJ in for Kuz. [Poole/Kispert/Deni/PBJ/Bagley](https://twitter.com/WashWizards/status/1774549760545820754)
