I don't have time to get the line ups and charts and stuff but I'll start the thing.

I'm starting to like our starting lineup. With Bonga and Mahinmi out there, and with Ish instead of IT, the defense is actually serviceable.

Wagner has only made 1 of 9 3's since coming back from injury. Ice cold.

Jerome is pretty useless (and will od a few things each game to hurt you). Wagner is awful at shooting 3's. Hasn't made one in a long time. That one three he made was in garbage time too.

Strange game. Wizards are totally outplaying Chicago, but Coby White and Thad Young are making insane shots left and right to keep the Bulls ahead. The Bulls have had almost no quality shots yet they have 32 points.

I just don't understand this. Brooks is leaving Robinson out there alongside Hachimura, Bertans, Beal and Ish. Why not Bonga or Troy Brown?

I was pretty optimistic about Robinson .but at this point I'd rather sit him and play Mathews.

I’ve seen enough. Robinson is a bust. And Baz is barely a journeyman.

At the trade deadline, we’d have been better off just cutting IT.

I wouldn't go that far. Bazz has had some good games and he's world's better than IT and I don't miss McRae much. I don't mind taking the chance on the kid. I just now wish we had kept Sanon . But hey, it was still a good move.

Thank you!

Bonga now in. I like this lineup on paper at least: Ish, Beal, Bonga, Bertans, Hachimura.

At some point, I'd like to see a similar lineup only with Troy in place of Ish.

If bonga adds say 15-20 bounds of good strong muscle in the of season this might be a death line up with wall.

Now Bryant in. For Bertans I guess. Brooks didn't like the dumb turnovers Bertans was making.

I liked McCrae. I would have liked to see us resign him.

An effortless scorer off the bench is an important component of success in the NBA. I think he’s a poor man’s Lou Williams and has been getting better.

We can still resign him. And we have a good number of wings with Mathews and TBJ and Bonga coming up and being really interesting pieces. It made sense to upgrade the PG spot which he is over IT and moving IT for a look at a young guy is smart. Yes cutting it and signing grant from the gogos would have been fine. But I stand by the move as good

Enough is enough. Bertans just blocks out and doesn't even move to try to for the defensive rebound on a FT - Bulls get another easy score. I mean... wtf? And he hasn't played defense the entire game. Nobody has on the Wiz. It's ridiculous. This isn't watchable. The whole team and coaching staff must be braindead. And why was the only good defender on the team - Bonga - in for less than a minute?
