Wow, what a defensive play by Frazier. Love taking the charge on a 2-on-1 fast break. In preseason no doubt.

Matt Williams Jr. from UCF looks like Steph Curry out there. No relation to former Nationals manager I assume.

And that was a horrible foul by Frazier trying to block Adebayo's shot. He looks incredible.

Consor and Buck have great chemistry. Kara Lawson will be fine eventually but at seemed that she was afraid to step on Buck in her first game. Consor doesn't give a sh-t. He's a New Yorker. He has to talk over people.

I think you see the problem with the second unit when Meeks is off because his lack of D gets magnified.

Oubre not shooting well but he is hustling his a-s-s off.

Oubre has 10 points and 13 rebounds.

Horrific defense in the 2nd half. Miami had a million wide open 3s. Down 114-113 with 36 seconds left. We're getting beaten by Derrick Walton Jr. and Matt Williams Jr. Good penetration by Winslow to set those shots up though.

We are 0-7 from the 3-point line and they are 6-11 in the fourth quarter.

Make that 0-for-8 after Meeks rims a 3-pointer out.

80sballboy · Post #231 » by **80sballboy** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 1:50 am

Do love the fact that Oubre, Frazier and Wall all took charges tonight. That's a good sign.

You know the team is coasting when Jason Smith (20pts) and MIke Scott (13pts) are your best players. Both are fighting for time.

Tim Frazier scores on a nice drive with contact with five seconds left. Nice move. Wiz up 115-114.

Of course, Jordan Mickey hit a long 3 for the win. His teammates surround him. They couldn't f-ing miss from long range in the fourth quarter. They being their 2nd and 3rd string players.

On the bright side... Frazier, Meeks, Scott, improved Oubre, and healthy Mahinmi look to be a real solid bench.

Well that was a fun game and kind of surreal. They were dropping everything from long range. I'm sure Brooks won't be happy with the 3-point D but good to see Frazier out there. Scott continues to play well. Oubre hustled but his dribbling and shot are still erratic. Mahinmi looks better as well. Meeks is fine but defensively, he's not good.

I'm still a little disappointed in Oubre's offense. He never makes the extra pass and when he comes up against a wing just as athletic like Winslow, he can't get by him off the bounce. Have to make that perimeter shot. Scott and Meeks will be solid as long as they stay healthy. Fraizer should get better when he gets healthier and used to his teammates.
