With no Kuzma, Gallo playing backup 4 and trying to guard Randle is funny. Overall, not a bad effort in the first quarter considering who we have on the floor.

I think Drew needs to trademark "Airspace". I can't imagine a broadcaster using that term as much as him.
Come on Gallo. At least try this game.

Gallinari looks so stiff on defense.

You could also say he looks like a stiff. But we know he can shoot it. He's not here for his D. He also looks chunky. No wonder they were playing him as the backup center, though I would think MM would be the backup 5 after this performance.

Mike is 5 for 5 from 3
I didn’t know he could get hot like that.

Can’t see a world where Poole doesn’t average 25+ PPG this year.
He’ll get as many FgA as Beal did last year.

Lol Kuzma with his hair dyed blond and a big red patch, my wife just asked how he hurt his head. I can’t believe this was the look he was going for.

Bro Jordan Poole is legit good enough to win us some games we ain't have any business winning some nights.
Bilal cold but still doging in D.

What's the Wizards' record for most FGA in a year? He should get it easily if he stays healthy.

Dumb goaltending by Avdija after the the buzzer for the half.

Yeah Poole with an impressive half shooting. But Muscala got them started.

Hot Poole/Kuz games will definitely win us games we're supposed to lose, but I'm sure it will balance out.

JP couldn't make a shot last game and now can't miss for the most part. Taking more threes is fine I guess if you can make them. It's not like we have great low post play so why not? Don't want to see Poole go for 60. It's f-ing preseason. Play him in the third quarter and sit him the rest of way. I do think Rollins played pretty well.

Agreed. Rollins was good on both O and D. Bilal was very good on D. Muscala and Poole? Get outta here. Ridiculous.
Poole will single handedly win and lose us games this year. My guess is two wins to 5-6 losses. But it will be fun when he’s on.

I guess. This frontcourt rotation is really bad. Gafford is barely a starter. They are going to get destroyed in the paint and on the boards in just about every game this season. Sure, Poole and Kuz will carry them for a few games. This is a bad team and they were designed that way.

This is fun. Deni and Coulibaly love playing defense
