4/17 from 3 so far

Still up by 9. We're back to the 3 headed center thing - all 3 got some PT already. I don't think it's going to make any of them happy, tbh, but it'll probably stop WUJ from going to a small-ball lineup. Or will it? We shall see.

All those 3-point shooters. Kispert, Bertans, KCP and Kuz. I won't put Neto and Dinwiddie in that category. Kuzma didn't take any 3s, which is fine because he was creating for others. Neto 0-3 and Rui (0-2) may want to give up for now on 3s.

Wait until Beal comes back. Nobody is going to be happy except for him and Dinwiddie. So many 4s and Kuz is the best amongst them right now.

I think we set the tone in the first quarter, by losing the ball consistently in the backcourt, giving up 6 offensive rebounds in one possession. And somehow got a big lead, but the lack of concentration. hustle, and focus by this team against bad clubs is disappointing and it starts with your point guard.

They started shot hunting. KCP is a notable guilty party.

Kuzma's passing really impresses me. Never knew he had that in LA. And he hits his first 3. He's going to get close to a trip-dub.

Frichuela · Post #29 » by **Frichuela** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:25 am

Kuzma has been a revelation. Keeps improving with every game.

True, but without Beal, they need to play more team ball. Kuz, despite a few careless turnovers, is the guy who the offense is going through right now. I think you get a big lead against a bad team and you start getting careless. At least mediocre teams do. Good teams put them away. Maybe we started to do that in the third quarter at least until Ross checks in.

Neto comes in and we're up 16. Let's see if the lead stays there or goes to single digits. I'm betting single digits.

Frichuela · Post #32 » by **Frichuela** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:31 am

Get Neto out of here please!!!!

80sballboy · Post #33 » by **80sballboy** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:32 am

And it's down to 10. Neto gonna Neto. MIght as well just go with no guards instead of one.

Frichuela · Post #34 » by **Frichuela** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:34 am

Wes love for Neto is so infuriating. I am coming to think that the only way out is for Tommy to trade him by the deadline. Save Wes from himself!

CntOutSmrtCrazy · Post #35 » by **CntOutSmrtCrazy** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:34 am

Neto has as many shots put up as Harrell, Deni, and Rui combined. He's missed four wide open threes to boot. If only Deni was given that kind of slack.

80sballboy · Post #36 » by **80sballboy** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:36 am

Again, Neto is horrible, but give Wes a few other options and he'll bench his ass.

Finally seeing the depth that is The strength of this team. Although not sure what's up with Holiday is he available? Why is Neto playing so much?

Love to see Bryant and Rui back! And Kuzma has been stepping up!

Not making any statement, just curious if anyone knows what is the Wizards record this year with Beal out?

CntOutSmrtCrazy · Post #38 » by **CntOutSmrtCrazy** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:41 am

Lol Drew Gooden acting like Deni has to do everything on every defensive play.

Frichuela · Post #39 » by **Frichuela** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:41 am

Neto is the 4th player minutes wise so far. Why???

5-2 without Beal. Holiday is fine apparently. He's not very good, but I'd play him over Neto for his slightly better D.

YOUR WINNER..
