Sarr is out after turning his ankle in Dallas. JV & KG gets the start.

Wizards back home after a tough road trip. Trade deadline around the corner. Can Kuzama and JV catch someone’s eye?

Let’s go trade these guys!

Kuzma is a trash player. How does anyone get the yips this bad on free throw shooting?

LOL at the Wiz announcers losing their minds over Kuzma's circus shot from behind the backboard. Could you guys maybe point out that the only reason he had to shoot a circus shot is that he made a fool of himself leaving his feet with absolutely nowhere to go? And of course, on the next possession he fumbles the ball off his leg and over to the Raptors. *Such* a trash player.

Higgledy-piggledy
Kyle freakin’ Kuzma
Once was a champion—
How no one knows—

Has gotten the yips on his
Free throws and three-pointers
And as a basketball
Player he blows.

I can't take any more of him. Please, please, please, can someone take him off our hands by the trade deadline? Pretty please?

57-38 wizards trailing at the half

The tank should be safe.

I may have to switch to the Maryland game. lol

The Wizards should suspend Kuzma for play detrimental to my eyes.

After second thought, the entire roster should be suspended.

Queen might be playing poorly enough to become a fringe 1st rounder. He's not ready for the NBA.

Yes, legs look dead on young guys and vets look like they are already on all star break.

December we looked OK, January has been terrible.

Games like this is where my DVR strategy pays off. After a quarter if they are playing like crap I just don't watch.

Pre-Kuzma return
Post-Kuzma return

Back when Champagnie was playing starter minutes, they were much more competitive. Butler played in those games also.

25 turnovers! 28 field goals. Misery.

Standard formula lately is down by 10 almost immediately.
Down by 15-20 by halftime. Never challenge for the lead
the rest of the game. Obviously hard to watch.
