  1. Need to trade kuzma imo. Giving him 20m a year after this season would be a mistake. Feel like rui can replace most of what he gives

    Also beal needs to just stand in the corners in crunch time

  2. Pathetic effort from Beal. The turnovers are so stupid it’s aggravating. Say he has an injury and sit him next game.

  3. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that we lost this game because of Kuz’s decision to go for a reverse dunk down 1 late in the third quarter.

    The team immediately collapsed after Kuz missed the dunk. It lead directly to a 3 for them. 5 point swing. They went on an 18-2 run directly afterward.

  4. The end of the third with gafford making mistake after mistake buried us. Couldn’t dig out. And then brutal Brad turnovers down the stretch. I actually think the bench looked better with Deni, he had more of an opportunity to play make, and Gill filled in fine starting.

    Just a total bummer of a game though, WUJ’s offense is just uninspiring. Is it cause he has to accommodate Beal? Someone smarter than me please help.

  5. decent close game until the 3rd when the bench + beal lineup came in. gafford minutes have been brutal lately and a stupid dunk by kuz. also not sure what the defense scheme is that ends in an open 3 on every other possession.

    KP has been good brad has to step up. the 4Q turnovers from him always kill us

  6. I just don’t understand what we’re doing out there offensively or defensively. Do we have plays?

  7. imagine how much promise this team would have if we traded brad for a few high first round picks and still had kp, kuz etc. this team would have a genuine path to being a contender instead of constantly being on the hamster wheel of mediocrity

  8. The way WUJ treated Rui tonight was embarrassing. Kuz and Beal can do whatever but Rui gets overlooked even when he’s hot and playing hard on D. It’s truly embarrassing. Add the fact that he was blaming Deni for his entire team horrible defence against the Celtics. Just wait and watch how they shit on Kispert as well. Such a “vet” friendly franchise.

  9. It’s kind of embarrassing that we’ve been TRYING to win for the past 3 years and the highest we’ve gotten is an 8 seed 😭. Something gotta change it’s not working.

  10. If Beal isn’t gonna be playing efficient offense and stop turning the ball over, the next 5 years are gonna be even more depressing than it already looks to be. And Kuz is the same, no consistency and that missed dunk on the fast break was the nail on the coffin. KP didn’t deserve this

  11. KP needs to be the number 1 option going forward. At least late game, if not the whole game.

  12. Can you imagine a dude that makes 250 mill and just passes the ball to a better scorer? Worst franchise in the league, easily. Orlando has exciting talent, Houston, spurs are well coached, Detroit is on the up……..and what are the Wiz?

  13. KP is gonna dip, Kuz is gonna go somewhere else, and we’re gonna have another offseason where the team is “trying to start new”. This will happen for another 5 years while a sea of gold/purple, green, red/black, and gold/blue will cheer at Capital One.

    Ya’ll have fun this week I’m gonna stop watching for a bit

  14. We deserve a new owner. A new GM, a new name, new colors, new everything. This franchise continues to impress for all the wrong reasons.

  15. I swear to god by the end of the week we’ll still have people say that Beal should be our primary ball handler

  16. There’s a ton of blame to be thrown around for these 3 losses. It’s gotten to the point where some people may need to be traded at some point in order to salvage a good season.

    A lot of fan favorites here are simply not up to the task of playing nba level basketball. Brad’s been terrible with the ball in his hand at the end of games and yet we won’t let Morris (who we traded for) bring the ball up even though he’s very secure with it in his hands. Bad offensive sets and weird calls to double guys that don’t make a ton of sense.

    If they want to win games then they need to consolidate the wing position and get a guy who is much better than what we’re getting at the position right now. WUJ has quickly lost a lot of good will I had for him for his inability to get guys into their spots on offense. Deni/Rui both look lost on opposite ends of the court which was shown by that 18-2 run. Neither are playing particularly well and it’s year 3 and 4 for each of them respectively.

    I love Kuz but he’s just not been good enough on either side of the floor to justify his antics as of recent.

    Flowers to KP who has been as advertised through the start of the year. Also give flowers to Delon Wright who was apparently the key to the wizards success lol.

  17. Kuz getting benched was funny af after that dunk attempt. Reminded me when lamelo tried something similar and got benched too

  18. It’s not ideal when your 2 recent top 10 picks aren’t in the closing lineup and losing minutes to Anthony Gill

  19. Kristaps Porzingis is not a fucking role player this mfer is the closer. Is there no other way to utilize Beal’s skills with him having to have the ball long enough to turn it over?

    You have Monte Morris and Schakel on the team who are PGs. Why do you insist on playing Beal as a PG when it is clear for the last couple seasons that that is not his strength. When will you grow a pair and challenge these players? Or will you keep doing the same shit and blame role players who are playing well until they resent everything about being on the team. Be honest for once and call Beal out for his hero ball and turnovers. We got all these skilled players for him to not have to do this. KP was leading a comeback cause he’s a closer and the best player on the team and he still let Beal fuck it up with his sloppy play that he still hasn’t fixed. Play your players strengths and put them in a position to be successful you dipshits. No feel for the game at all
