No surprise Beal misses the tech free throw with Bertans on the court

Boy does Brad look frustrated. Wouldn't be surprised if he picks up a T at some point during this game. At least he cares. I'd be more upset if he was just going through the motions.

Schofield needs to be called up, especially if Miles is out for a while

As expected, with Paul George killing it, and Leonard doing his thing, its going to be a L for us.
With IT out on the court, we just cant play good team D. IT is just too much of a liability.

Sure. How is he doing in the G-League? Not bad.

Small victories... Rui is doing a good job on Leonard so far.

That second unit misses Moswag. And they are going up against one of the best benches in the league. Not good. But good that we don't have to stay up for the second half.

At one point, this is about your manhood. I can't imagine being pummeled this hard, at a human level. You gotta compete. Show some fight. Show some dog.

IT is a shell of the player he was. It’s sad to watch.

These guys have checked out except Rui. They are ready to head back to D.C.
No effort at all. I'm watching just to see how many points Clippers end up with. PG and Kawhi probably won't play much in the 2nd half. Don't matter we can't stop the Clippers ballboys tonight.

I'm on the west coast. I'm staying up to see this debacle. We're down 25 at the half, but hey, its still fun to watch them play.

Harrell > Bryant right now. Bryant has been out muscled for rebounds on at least 5 occasions. He has been boxed out about 6 times, and he was simply in the wrong spot a handful of times. Positioning is something that can be fixed. Getting more physical is also something that can be fixed. I dont expect him to always win the battle for the rebounds, bt he can do better.

Rui has done a good job on Leonard. Yeah, Leonard is schooling him on some trips down the court, but Rui is holding his own on others.

IT versus Paul George. Come on.

Beal is pretty angry out there, and rightfully so. He hasnt been getting the calls like other big named players on the Clips.

Note: Bonga started the 2H over Troy Brown Jr

Discussed this in the recent convo in the trade thread

WallToWall · Post #33 » by **WallToWall** » Mon Dec 2, 2019 5:07 am

Wizards started the 2nd half with some fire. The're definitely not giving up. I really like the fight in this team.

Brown has 3 fouls right now.

Brad will get angry all game log but will never funnel that energy to on the court play. Instead it goes to the refs

jangles86 · Post #36 » by **jangles86** » Mon Dec 2, 2019 5:12 am

I honestly don’t understand where Beal sees his career headed. This situation is obviously very frustrating for him and he’s only going to become a lot more negative.
This sort of negativity and frustration isn’t going to create a great culture going forward with your best player looking like he wants to blow up every night.
Unless Beal can improve his mindset and body language to get on board this re build, it might be best to get the best possible package for him we can.

Illmatic12 · Post #37 » by **Illmatic12** » Mon Dec 2, 2019 5:13 am

This has easily been the best defensive performance of Rui's young career

youngWizzy · Post #38 » by **youngWizzy** » Mon Dec 2, 2019 5:14 am

Bryant is embarrassingly slow laterally that he cant guard a soul

jangles86 · Post #39 » by **jangles86** » Mon Dec 2, 2019 5:15 am

Although I will be honest. A few of these techs have been a complete joke.

jangles86 · Post #40 » by **jangles86** » Mon Dec 2, 2019 5:16 am

Bertans is nearly the best shooter that’s worn a Wizards singlet.

YOUR WINNER..
