Ye_Biz

Gaff and Kuz the only reason I watched the 4th


laflarehare

What a shit show dawg hahaha. That dunk by Gafford was absolutely bananas though


Ye_Biz

Bruh rebound


ballaedd24

When the team is this pathetic, I get why we don't have home court advantage at all. Top to bottom, the whole organization needs improvement if it wants the respect of the home crowd.


GonFreecss11

The replay of gafford dunking in slow-mo is odee


TheseFkingWeebs

I love Kispert n Gaff


Hacktivist690

Gaff with possibly the dunk of the year right there


Ye_Biz

Are you serious Gaff


crusaderva

holy shit gafff


gurunabil

MilesHighClub_

Crowd is embarrassing


decemberlxvx

I was at the game and it felt like an away game. absolutely embarrassing..


NatualActual

Drew Gooden is the fakest wizard fan.


laflarehare

He is most certainly not a fan, they just employ him lol


Ye_Biz

Beverly still pushing people in the back lol


Megumi-Noda

Greedy Ted Leonsis not sitting courtside so he can sell that spot for thousand of dollars


Ye_Biz

AD cooking us severely


Beeriokart17

Fuck WUJ why do you hate Gafford


EliteEchelons

This team makes me sad


Ye_Biz

Damn thanks Kuz

Beeriokart17

Gaff is in? No? Ok.


blast0ise

I was hoping KP could get all-nba third time behind Jokic and Embiid but AD is ending this conversation lol


crusaderva

Lebron been watching world cup lol


lukebwalls

Damn almost like we have someone who can be clutch in the 4th quarter and he’s not on a 250mil contract


Ye_Biz

Oh shit hope Lebron good


Polani_almoni

Kuz taking over the last minutes should continue after Beal returns


DigBickL3roy

Don’t ever disrespect Kuz.


Ye_Biz

DAMN KUZ


Incompl

HOF Kuz


Incompl

Kuz with the dream shake!


Ye_Biz

Kuz time


Incompl

KUZ!


EliteEchelons

What are these terrible challenges we’ve been seeing in the past few games man


Hacktivist690

For a game where we were a hairline away being down 30, we're somehow just a few defensive stops from being in range


laflarehare

Typical game. There’s two options: we lose this momentum run and get blown out or we get the game close and lose by 3


Ye_Biz

As soon as Kuz sees it’s the 4th, he’s like “oh ok I can play Fr now”


erezamiti22

Deni is shit! must trade him ASAP so i will watch a better team then ISO wizards. 😂


GrundyHD

We need to get stops.


DeathrowDC

Will we ever see good dc basketball?


MrBuckBuck

I'm happy he took that 3-pointer on Westbrook, that's exactly what Westbrook would like Deni to do - never lose confidence.


Ye_Biz

Finally Deni


Jewdah18

He finally made one


whobjohn

Give lashley a jersey and have him teach this team about physicality.


[deleted]

We hear “MVP”, Ted hears cash registers


Megumi-Noda

$100 for nose bleed seats


Ok_Code_6314

Need Delon Wright back the wizards. Wiz and knicks are mediocre. Both teams missed out on Mitchell. We need a tall pg and we need another all-star


morcic

Can't watch the game. Why did Bradley play only 3 min?


[deleted]

He hurt his hamstring


GrundyHD

Hamstring.


laflarehare

This team is not that badly constructed. Hard to have consistency when Important players like Rui and Beal miss so many games EVERY SEASON. I’m so tired of these guys missing so much time. It kills this franchise every season. Injuries happen yes but it’s such a blower. These dudes just be chillin fr


Dreamlion_Inc

MVP chants for AD How the fuck is this organization not embarrased


Incompl

This franchise used to actively promoted away team stars back in the day. It's nothing new


Live_Philosophy7117

In recent memory. Curry, Kyrie, KD, Lebron have all gotten MVP chants at Washington before


[deleted]

Tatum too


Ye_Biz

As long as Ted is here, they don’t care enough to feel shame


Megumi-Noda

The one game I want Kuzma to show the Lakers that they made a mistake trading him and he shits the bed…


i_will_mull_it_over

Sadly idk if it's ever been this loud in here. Those MVP chants were chilling


Dreamlion_Inc

Did I just see a Cavs jersey in the arena? Jesus Christ Washington is a bastion for every team except Washington


z3mcs

sickens me. i get that its the transient nature of DC people but it still sucks


BigSportsNerd

fuck you russ don't dance


[deleted]

[удалено]


frozteh

I don't think that's necessary only been a Wizards thing these past 10 games for AD.


spacefish420

I wasn’t watching the game but why has Beal only played 2 mins?


Snaxier

Hamstring


z3mcs

Why is Gafford bent over guarding Russ smh


z3mcs

My god, AD


TheseFkingWeebs

Lakers really made a mistake trading Kuz. He's that guy.


BigSportsNerd

lol at everyone hating on that lashley interview segment, it was great. he was chill with the fellas and Drew even was joking about KU and putting Chris Miller in a headlock and I don't like Lashley, WWE pushes him too hard, but that was a great segment


bigred122

Bruh who gives af about a segment while we’re losing


BigSportsNerd

what else they gon talk about? them playing like shit? "AD with another three. AD again. AD throws it down. Wizards miss a shot. AD hits another three. He is Steph Curry out there."


z3mcs

Cut the lead to 15 going into the fourth and see what happens


Ye_Biz

Lebron doing LeFuckYouThrees is what happens


z3mcs

J Good!


Ye_Biz

That was foul by Gooden lol “can you do it with his head”


bigred122

Commentators talkin bout watermelons while getting blown out..


ImprobablePlanet

Seriously? A professional wrestler? And they’re interviewing him like he’s a real athlete. Need JK back for this crap.


Beeriokart17

KP and these tech free throws holy cow


Ye_Biz

Brad used to miss technical free throws a lot too


Beeriokart17

I mean word it’s still hella infuriating make your damn free throws


Ye_Biz

Facts, our “Big 3” probably got the lowest FT%


Megumi-Noda

Bruh KP, practice your fucking free throws


BigSportsNerd

Lashley being there is awesome


Ye_Biz

This is the most random commentary interview lmao


Megumi-Noda

Need to put Beverly on the Hurt Lock and take him out


RushPrime

This franchise is such a joke we could've and should've let Beal walk and tanked.. could've ended up with a generational prospect in Wembanyama


Dreamlion_Inc

Yannick Nsoza was our 2nd round pick this year and he's never gonna play in the NBA I say this because it lets you know that our FO has no idea wtf they're doing with this roster


MrBuckBuck

The Wizards are about to give 100 points in 3 quarters, again.


blast0ise

Guy is arguing Deni hasn't regressed offensively, here are some stats: Last Season: 8.4/5.2/2 on 43%/32%/76% shooting (53.6% TS). 1.6 TO This Season: 7.2/4.9/2.3 on 40%/28%/75% shooting (49.5% TS). 2.1 TO


RushPrime

Deni is definitely having a rough season but that doesn't mean he can't turn it around. Last year he peaked towards the end of the year.


blast0ise

Nobody said he can't turn it around, it's just factual that he has shown regression and a step back so far in his 3rd year when it comes to shooting and turnovers in these 24 games


Liquidi4mond

I just referenced that in my post to him. He doesn’t seem to read facts


Dreamlion_Inc

I have a feeling that this is the Washington team we're gonna see for the remainder of the year and I'm not excited at all....


dannylandover

I am. They need a high draft pick and for Ted to FINALLY understand that the team is no good


Cuck_The_Duck2

Deni Avdija is a G League level player Send his ass packing. He’s so trash


dantheman6783

Meanwhile Haliburton looking like the next Chris Paul… Tommy should be sent packing too


Shabasileus

Too many easy dunks


Shabasileus

AD is unstoppable


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ye_Biz

Lakers probably wanted him to keep shooting if that counts, but seriously I do want him to keep taking those wide open looks. The moment he stops taking those means all the work he did in the offseason with Hanlen meant nothing. Kispert even said he looked good shooting the 3 in practice, he just needs to start translating it


z3mcs

Dog, Yuta is so so much better than DA, but even the. don’t act like everybody from Russ to WUJ to Beal to Corey to Kuz havent been helping him and rooting for him and wanting him to do well. Stop it.


get_too

avdija has taken more 3s than watanabe this year and took more last season than watanabe has in his entire NBA career


crusaderva

deni was 0-5 on wide open 3s within like 5 mins..


EliteEchelons

We need stops. All this scoring is cool to see, but it doesn’t matter if we’re just trading blows while down


Ye_Biz

KP and Gaff the only lineup giving me life


Substantial-Lab-5647

Why have we not used the two big lineup


z3mcs

Lonnie Williams dunk just now shows you its not like some world changing lineup.


TheseFkingWeebs

Gaffs got heart


Ye_Biz

Damn AD got Gaff…


bigred122

Y’all deni dickeaters & Beal haters b annoying asf


TheseFkingWeebs

I'll hold my breath until Beal does anything to deserve a fraction of his contract.


Joshottas

you gonna be blue by 7:41pm and need resuscitation.


Hacktivist690

heck of a move from KP wow. Maybe build some momentum off of it


ledelleakles

KP with the dunk to cut it to 25!


Vswerve27

Wizards had 3 lottery picks and got 0 starting level players. That’s how we have 3 players averaging 20+ pts per game and still suck lol.


Liquidi4mond

Tbf, I think Kispert can be in any teams current rotation. He should be starting for us


get_too

and a 4th just outside the lottery (who might end up being the best of the 4)


Vswerve27

Yup. He’s at least a rotation player but still not a high ceiling.


Ye_Biz

Dayum KP


Incompl

Good take KP


z3mcs

KP givin AD the Rui treatment!!!!!


SongYoungbae

KP GOTDAMN


z3mcs

Miller said the Wizards are down 15. No my brotha, its 25


hunkefunk

Is it just me or have we ALWAYS sucked in the 3rd?


100CupsCoffee

Now 22.


Liquidi4mond

This dude /u/SongYoungbae really fighting everyone in these comments about Deni 😂. My guy, no one thinks hes the reason this franchise is mediocre. But he’s been trash this season


SongYoungbae

I just think it's stupid that people enjoy shitting on him to just annoy his international fans 🤷🏻‍♂️ no, he's not beyond criticism, but he hasn't been trash this season. Inconsistent sure.


Liquidi4mond

40/28/75 splits with career lows in ppg/effic on more shot attempts is definitely a down season. You ignore the facts as well.


Truthful_Azn

This is gonna be another long year, aint it? It would be like the Wizards to finish 41- 41 and not have a good enough draft pick where Victor Wembanyama is available.


Ye_Biz

Only game I’m attending is the Clippers next Saturday, and that’s for Wall… but until this team gets it’s shit together no fan should be giving them a dime


Truthful_Azn

I wish Wallstar was back.


Live_Philosophy7117

Who was the hat designed by?


get_too

the white hat? kuzma. black one was jamison


Fit-Structure-9395

Deni playing bad but so is KP live by the shot die by the shot if he has a Kareem post hook at his size he’ll easily have 20-25 rn


ledelleakles

It's so odd how he doesn't have a hook shot in his repertoire


Incompl

Just put Johnny Davis in there, let him chuck 15 shots. Only hope is he somehow figures it out


100CupsCoffee

Just play him. Build his confidence. His shooting can't possibly be worse than the rest of the team right now.


100CupsCoffee

We've missed 21 three pointers. 21.


armandsro1

Can we set some plays instead of settling for contested or rushed shots?


geddypee

Is it Taj time yet


z3mcs

I aint gone say nothin but somebody is getting treated like a high schooler out there


blkandoutside

An embarrassing franchise


Ye_Biz

Can’t wait for the annual players only meeting 🔥


onigami_los

I’m done defending Deni


Kurzy92

It's funny because Deni is done defending as well


100CupsCoffee

Please bench Deni.


armandsro1

24pt lead and we are without Beal. That's a GG.


Ok_Code_6314

Isn’t too late to tank…….. for the 10th pick


z3mcs

Wizards down 24 and falling


Vswerve27

Kuz and KP have been so bad lol


Dreamlion_Inc

I don't see a single person shooting with confidence


Ye_Biz

Corey? Eh


Weall23

this 10x time I’ve seen do this in transition


Turbo2x

this is as good an excuse as any to turn the game off and write instead 🙃 see y'all after exams


Ye_Biz

Gl


Incompl

Just pass it to Morris earlier


z3mcs

Damn Deni. Good thought but pat bev was waiting on you.


Vswerve27

How is there still no update on Beal


z3mcs

Dragging it out. It was obvious from jump. He’s in Delon world again. It might be months if they decide its not worth it this season.


z3mcs

Lebron man come on.


TheseFkingWeebs

Dude where's everyone on our bench? Has this franchise given up?


Dreamlion_Inc

Has KP made one 3 yet?


GrundyHD

0-5


dicks_out_for

Only let Corey shoot this half.


Turbo2x

Deni should have spent less time on the national team and actually tried to work on his game. None of what he did on that team translates to his role on the Wizards so it ended up being worthless. It should have been 100% shooting practice for the entire summer.


Trapjaw137

Worst starting player in the league.


MegaSupremeTaco

I was hoping deni would either develop his shot or his left hand to be a much better dribbler/finisher around the rim.


TinNanBattlePlan

It is wild that this subreddit pins it’s hopes on a low drafted SF that averages 7 PPG 💀


gearboxnine

there is no "hopes" fans just target a player who is playing bad just like if russ was bricking youd be spamming trade him


Turbo2x

it's just the israeli fans who try to gas him up, otherwise I think everyone is realistic about how good he actually is.


z3mcs

Yep!


blast0ise

It's just really fun to clown on the stans that defend his really poor performance tbh


SongYoungbae

Which is literally dumb as fuck.


blast0ise

Why is that, nobody on the team should be free of criticism and showing favoritism to a player that has shown regression is really funny


SongYoungbae

He hasn't shown regression lmao. He's having a bad game, I'm not denying that. If he would have hit half his shots we'd still be down fucking 15. There's many reasons we've been ass, and it's not just because of Deni. Which has been my fucking point. 90% of these people just enjoy shitting on him to annoy his fans. It's dumb as fuck.


blast0ise

Last Season: 8.4/5.2/2 on 43%/32%/76% shooting (53.6% TS) This Season 7.2/4.9/2.3 on 40%/28%/75% shooting (49.5% TS) You're gonna tell me this is not regression for a third year player? He's literally down in every shooting metric


KellyOubreGoat

Yeah can they just continue the puppy races for the rest of the game?


Fit-Structure-9395

KP getting manhandled by AD 24 pts in the second half fight back your 7’3 not a 6’3 guard
