GT #50: WIZ @NETS 7:30 pm 2/5/2025

Sarr is still out. Kuzma & Baldwin Jr traded to the Bucks. JV traded to the Kings.

Wizards have won the last 2 on the road. Nets have won their last 3 games including 2 against the Rockets. Can the Wizards make it 3 in a row? Will the team announce another traded before the game?

Let’s Go Wizards !!

Nets look tired tonight after beating the Rockets 2 times in 3 days.

21 -9 wizards up

I know it's just a few minutes in, and I know Brooklyn isn't good, and I know they played last night...but don't the Wizards look a little liberated in the early going? Holmes grabbing boards and getting in the way, George raining threes, Bub running the offense, Bilal driving and kicking, Poole...well, Poole has looked a little lost on D, but everything's copacetic on the whole.

Ok, home and can watch game . . . and it looks watchable! If we lose because I turned it one, I'm willing to take the blame. Interested to see the new rookie but he's not on the roster yet.

Of course not sure even in the modern era of easy spamming that both teams shooting 50% from 3 is sustainable.

For once it looks like our starters got us off to a strong lead and the bench lost it. May be missing JV.

Ball movement so much better without Kuzma.

Kyshawn should benefit more than anyone. He should be starting and playing big minutes from now on.

Kyshawn is balling tonite.

No Kuzma = good basketball.

Bilal on triple double watch. 8 pts, 10 assists, 5 rebounds already.

Bub looked good in the 3rd quarter, probably most impressive on team especially with how he's played recently.

Wiz need to get the tank rolling again. Give Johnny Davis some minutes maybe.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

So immediately after Kuzma is traded, all of the rookies stuff the stat sheet.
