Deni off to a great start.

Super questionable WUJ subbing out Deni when he all the team's points....

Deni with 8 pts in 5 min and been replaced.. good tanking stuff Wes

Wizards have scored 8 points to start the quarter, all of them by Deni, and WUJ rewards him by subbing him.

This 'coach' will never let him build any real momentum.

So basically WUJ is getting $7 million a year to perform the same level of coaching a simple traffic light would have done

Gaff and Kispert getting cooked.

Delon Wright having a pretty awful game so far…

On Deni, great start but you know our Nepo robotic coach has a pre set rotation plan and nothing is going to change his substitution pattern…

And now Nepo Wes sits Bilal…f**** u you moron

PBJ for 333333

Box-score watching and it looks like this is the first time all season PBJ has played real minutes. He wasn't going to be useful enough to the Warriors to justify keeping him around, but I liked him as a prospect, even with the injuries. Great shot, solid passer, knew where to be on defense even with his physical limitations. Reminded me of how OPJ was as a Warrior even though he was a shell of his physical prime. Hope PBJ gets more minutes. He's going to be an interesting stretch-5 off of the bench, or if his athleticism ever comes back to me, maybe he might resemble the on-ball creating power wing he was touted as in HS.

Tyus Jones hot from 3. Expect to see a few contenders offering 1 late 1st for him.

We need to find Bilal more opportunities in that dunker spot.

Poole is having a decent game, still take so many garbage shots. You can't be consistent with the type of shots he takes on the regular.

Burks scorching us from 3, and of course no defensive adjustments whatsoever from our unimaginative coach…

Pathetic, bizarre rotations by WUJ. Deni starts off great, you proceed to bench him and then when he does get back in game, he barely touches the ball. Every starter played at least 3 more minutes than him.

PBJ was playing good only gets 7 minutes with Gafford getting outplayed up and down the court.

WUJ just has a horrible feel for the game with his subs and rotations.

The guys supposed to be guarding Burks aren't held accountable because they're veterans...

Have you been watching any games this season?

This is the Wizards rotation. Wes always keeps one of Kuzma or Avdija on the floor at all times because they're the only guys on the roster who can play PF, and he always likes to have at least one ball-handling forward on the floor to compensate for Bilal and Kispert having no off-the-dribble skills.

The only way to do this is to either bench Avdija early and bring him back in with the second unit, or to bench Kuzma early and bring him back in with the 2nd unit. Wes has settled on the former. It makes the most sense because Deni is developing his PG skills so it's good to have him out there with the 2nd unit that lacks a true PG.

This is the rotation; and this is why he does it. There isn't a lot of flexibility with it - at least with respect to Deni and Kuzma. So stop complaining when Deni comes out first.

They just have literally stopped letting Deni touch the ball.

Yes but sometimes you can adjust and not take the hot hand out. It's one thing to have a method and a rotation, it's a whole other thing to just be a mechanical robot out there. Kuzma has been garbage on both end tonight, but because WUJ is mechanical he just does the same old pattern rotations. Meanwhile, Deni doesn't barely touch the ball since being subbed out.

It's not like we are playing great either, barely keeping pace with a historically crappy team.

Duren is abusing Gafford.

If he doesn't pull Deni out early, he has to do one of two things: either delay Kuzma's opportunity to rest - which means Kuzma will end up playing 15 consecutive minutes, or rest Kuzma in place of Deni, which means Kuzma will run with the 2nd unit and not Deni - something they're not used to.

You don't blow up a whole rotation just to ride a hot hand in the 1st quarter. And it's not like Deni had 18 points in 6 minutes or something. He had 8 points. That's nice, but it's not exactly Klay Thompson scoring 37 points in a quarter.
