The pictures are a cool touch.
As for how to do a game thread. There is no wrong way. I imagine most people don't pay much attention to the first page anyway. Specially if they are long.
You did a fine job.

Good run by the Wiz to get back in it. Wall getting his groove back. We still can't hit a three though

judging by Witt's rotation (atleast in this game), he doesnt see Porter as a viable option at taking some of Beal's minutes. Started Rice and backed him up with Silas before Porter even came in

Silas looks NBA confident.
Thats a good sign.

Yeah, he sees Porter as a SF only. The struggle is real on offense.

Gotta say I've never been a Seraphin fan but he's really impressed on offense.

I think he's always had that offensive firepower. I remember last year when dominated Dwight Howard to help the wiz comeback (then lose) against the rockets. His defense is questionable and inconsistent.

That's the first non-floater layup I've seen wall take in a long time.

Ugly offense in the 2nd half.
No structure.

Poor perimeter defense, we're getting lost on transition defense.
