The first time I've noticed some chemistry with Deni and Westbrook all year. Deni is moving and Russ is finding him.

Yep. Good to see. A good scoring first half (9pts, 4/5) for Deni as a result.

Looking at the minutes distribution Gafford and Bertans (only 2 shots in 8 minutes) have to play more. Gafford especially to boost our rim protection, SAC is driving too much.

Why does he even have a restriction, his ankle has no structural damage. He's clearly fine.

The wiz could be good with this line up...hate to say it cause the tank will come off the tracks if deni and rui play up to their potential and Beal and Westbrook keep this up...plus Neto and Ish and the robin and lin....I’m not liking our odds of properly tanking

Agreed. The 3 center rotation has to end. Start Gafford and play either Lopez or Len depending on match ups. But hey this is Brooks and his world of irrational decisions :banghead:

The difference between Whiteside on the floor and without him must be something like a 10 or 12 points for the Kings. Wiz are playing some decent halfcourt defense and Sac is just jacking up bad shots. For the most part, with a 7-game losing streak, they are going through the motions. Something we've been used to seeing though Westbrook almost never does that, at least offensively. He might commit the most hideous turnovers, but Brodie does care.

Again turnovers coming back to hunt us. The Wiz offense this year is a disaster and this is on Brooks, our glorified mediocre coach.

i'm sorry but what does it worth that Bill/Westbrook scores 30 pts a game if he also miss 15 shots and lose 7-8 Balls?their ball control gives me a headache

Nice D on those last two possessions by Deni on Fox and Haliburton.

Wiz might have 25 turnovers tonight and could still win. That shows how bad the Kings are.

Agreed. He is learning. I trust Deni will come back next season much more solid on D.
