S'up with Giannis? Why isn't he listed in the starting lineup?

He's been traded to the Wiz for Jeff Green.

Or he has a sore hip... which means - It's Jason Smith revenge night!

No Freak. The tank is in reverse.

Given the way the Wizards overlook their opponents, I almost would rather face Milwaukee with Giannis than without him.

Maybe they run into that trap if they are fully healthy but at the moment they do not seem to be lacking from the effort department when Wall has been out of the lineup against below average teams. So far the Wizards are 4-2 against below .500 teams without John Wall (2-0 against Atlanta with wins against the Hornets and Suns, with losses to the Bulls and Heat).

The line for the game has moved from the Bucks favored by 7.5 points to 1.5 points. I guess the Wizards are more than capable of losing especially since teams coached by Bud like the Hawks have given the Wizards fits in the regular season, although their chances to win improve with Giannis out (at least vegas feels that way too).

Which Wiz team will show up tonight?

The Wizards look pretty sharp so far. If not for Lopez hitting two 28-footers, this would be a double-digit lead.

Bradley Beal, pretty good player huh?

Sato almost has a triple double in the 1st quarter lol. He’s not a starting caliber PG though..

This team is dominating

We're going to end up as the 7th/8th seed.

It's not really that exciting for a team that could desperately use a top 5 pick.

It really is remarkable how much better the energy is when Morris and Wall are out. (To be fair, Wall does have the injury excuse.)

I'll be okay with it if we play 50-win basketball for the 2nd half of the season and look like a team that actually deserves to be in the playoffs. What I don't want is for us to back into a 7th or 8th seed because we play .500 basketball while everyone else tanks.

Porter has looked really sloppy so far on offense. 3 misses, a turnover, and 2 missed free throws. He's been good on D though. 3 steals already.

What the hell is jeff green doing? Why is Randle in the NBA?

This is hilarious. The team is just waiting for Otto to be assertive on offense and he still stands in the corner doing nothing lol.

Unfortunately, Sato and Beal can't play 48 minutes.

This is going to be another meaningless win that ensures the Wizards are picking 12th overall, which means they're going to get a chance at a 3rd tier prospect. Great.

Porter is so inconsistent. He looks like he's back to his Shaqtin a Fool days.
