This game is on TNT.

Gonna love what Charles, Kenny and Shaq say about this dumpster fire!

EDIT: It's actually Shaq, Candace Parker and D-Wade

I think we should double down on something that was working earlier in the season. Dinwiddie should sit BOTH games of a back to back.

Beal is OUT.

Dinwiddie will need to ball out to increase that trade value.

Rooting for a loss.

I haven't watch any of the last 4 games. I don't care about this team until they trade Beal and rebuild. There is zero hope for the team as currently constructed.

If the Wiz come within 20, it'll be a moral victory. Wiz only chance is to go early and often to Bryant and Trez - trying to exploit Portis.

I am still not sure what Bryant has done to deserve to start over Gafford all of a sudden.

He's doesn't really rebound at a particularly impressive clip and his contribution on offense does not make up for him being a complete non-factor on the defensive end.

Wes Unseld and his staff are giving the impression of just throwing **** at the wall to see if it sticks.

This could easily extend into a 9 game losing streak, right into the trade deadline before the Brooklyn game. Should hopefully lead to a fire sale and a full rebuild.

The Wizards can't retain both Bryant and Harrell this summer. One of them must go. Ideally, we figure which guy to keep by the Trade Deadline so we can trade the other guy for a 2nd round pick. I think that's the point of playing Bryant now. Let's see what he can do with regular minutes.

We know what Bryant is. He's one of the worst defensive centers in the NBA. Paying big money for backup centers is stupid. Gafford at least is a rim runner who defends. Bryant sucks on defense. I wouldn't resign him at all.

Showcase him and move him at the deadline?

There's enough tape on Bryant out there at this point, rushing him into the starting lineup won't change a thing about his perceived value around the league.

Not by too, mhd, and not calling anyone out, but I remember talk that Bobby Portis sucks a couple years back. I recall talk that Oubre is no good.

Bryant does have the liabilities you mentioned but he's also a very mobile C with a very good three-point shot. Just as with Portis I could see Bryant being a good contributor on a great team.

Y’all know we are going to be competitive tonight and Spencer is going to ball out. I really think Beal is the main problem with this team.

Wiz win - 136-94. Bertans scores 27, all 3's, and holds Giannis to 4-13 shooting. Grayson Allen sticks his head up his own azz, where it belongs.

Not a good start. Not a surprise.

Another missed layup by Deni. Wonderful.
