I think Kara has been doing a good job. Phil is a nice guy but didn't provide much in the way of analysis. Kara is much more analytical and isn't wearing homer goggles.

We should be putting money on these games. Man, how much I could've made on the BK game.

Wall and Beal needs to watch this game tape. When they stop chucking shots the team is better.

Bulls are up next. Sounds like easy money

100%, I complained about Kara at first, but she does a great job and provides much more in depth analysis. Also not afraid to call it like it is at times. Big time upgrade honestly

I was wrong about her, Kara is on her way to the big leagues after this gig.

Impressive win last night by the Wiz! Hopefully the team is back on track and can show that the talent can gel and start moving up the standings. Hopefully the Raptors have righted the ship after 2 cow plops out West with there victory last night over Atlanta.

Read on Twitter

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

No when they play defense the team is better (all of them). Just love how everyone puts **** on Wall and Beal for their failures. That's BS, It's like they're the only ones that make the boat float or sink.

I will tell you I still like hearing Phil MORE that Kara but I have to accept that she brings a more modern analytical viewpoint. She also appears to describe the sets on offense and defense in a way that lets us know if they did the right or wrong thing on any one specific play as apart to just telling us if the play or defense worked or not. That type of insight reminds me more of Hubie than anyone else. Is it too much to ask for a 3 man crew that includes Phil?

I have to admit Kara is growing on me...like mold...

Yup...there are a few posters here (not many) who seem to believe that every time the Zards play poorly and lose it's Wall and/or Beal's fault, and every time the Zards play well and win it's because of someone other than Wall and/or Beal.

Sometimes I think these posters fail to realize just how good Wall and Beal are and just how bad the Zards would be without them.

With the development of Oubre, continued improvement of Porter.... and a healthy Wall... there are only 3 teams that I believe can be the Wizards in a 7 game playoff series:

Cleveland LeBrons
Golden State Warriors
San Antonio Spurs

I would have included Houston but since they've lost Clint Capela... i think defensively they'll struggle to stop anyone.

Toronto still depends on Lowry & DeRozan and thusly is still a pretender.

Boston has fallen back to earth after that unsustainable defensive run they had. Rebounding and secondary scoring will be big issues for them come playoff time.

Were a defensive upgrade at C away from beating the Cavs in a 7 game series. Also likely the Spurs.

I'm not sure, short of Oubre becoming a star that we would ever beat Golden State as currently constructed.
