GT #42: Wizards @ Knicks 7:30 PM 3/23

3rd foul by Deni. Someone has to coach this kid...clearly Brooks & co can’t do it

What is the coach supposed to do? Deni's clearly having problems adjusting to the athleticism of the NBA. 3 fouls in 5 minutes isn't a coach issue.

This offseason we have to completely rethink this roster. We are a disaster.

Well,it depends on who has time left. You aren't getting rid of guys with 2, 3 and 4 years left on their deals unless they trade him and there are takers. You also don't know who the coach will be and Tommy's deal is up. But if I was GM and Ted allowed me to do it, I'd get rid of Wagner, Bonga, Lopez (deal is up), try to trade Bertans, let Ish go, don't bring back any of the backup centers (no Len, Wagner, Lopez).

[Jimmy Recard]

Calling it...trade coming after today’s loss. That or Brooks is getting canned. Hopefully the latter.

[nate33]

Lopez playing very well, at least.

That's part of it. You don't have to be super athletic to know a player's tendencies. Neto is not that athletic but defends well. He does need better coaching, but you have to watch film. He has been pretty good all year long on D. Maybe he's hit a wall, but nobody will be crying for you if you don't show up each night.

Well It looks like he is positionally in the right place but plays a bit too close, so gets called for a foul..maybe the coaching staff are already on him to adjust this...but somehow I doubt it

To me, it's too late for Brooks to be canned and I don't expect a deal. Maybe a minor one like TBJ or Lopez. If you are in tanking mode or close, you want a bad coach on the bench.

What happened to Bonga's shooting? Seems like the dude has just gone off a cliff. He made 3's in the bubble. Now he can't hit anything.

[Frichuela]

Westbrook WTF TOs

[nate33]

7 turnovers to 0.

[nate33]

Wagner sighting!

[80sballboy]

See what Bonga did to Barrett? Forced him right and then blocked his shot. Again, know your opponents' tendencies.

[80sballboy]

Randle is so crafty. Not super athletic. He just has all the skills. Can post, shoot the 3, and drive against bigger men.

[Frichuela]

We can’t hit a 3 to save our lives...

[nate33]

Randle is so crafty. Not super athletic. He just has all the skills. Can post, shoot the 3, and drive against bigger men.

He's really strong. He's the first guy I've seen bully Hachimura.

[nate33]

It would be nice if just one person on this team could hit a 3.

Mathews should be in the game instead of Neto.

[80sballboy]

Beal trying to outdo Westbrook's WTF type of passes.

[Frichuela]

2/11 from 3 vs 7/12 the Knicks. It’s virtually impossible to win games shooting like that

Yes, strength and size helps, but he's really smart and knows how to use his body.

And 8 turnovers to 1.

It's actually a miracle we're only down 15.
