Forget 100 points.

First to 50 wins?

This is just the type of game we need to lose. Beal playing may make that possible.

Gotta figure out how to trade Monk and Bridges so we can actually play basketball.

What is the reason Miles plays to his potential against the Wizards and Pistons but not really anyone else?

All Bridges does is look for scraps. He doesn't help the team.

Can understand picking on Miles most of the other games. This game not so much.

I'm all in on Lamelo Ball. At least itd be an entertaining season or a trainwreck or both.

This next draft class sucks, but Lamelo is actually pretty intriguing.

I'm pretty high on him. We'll see how his father acts leading up to the draft.

This is one of the reasons I think some posters feel strongly that Bridges sucks defensively. He's out there guarding Beal. How is that a good match up for him? That's just setting him up to fail. Wouldn't Rozier or even Thing #1 make more sense guarding Beal?

This Wizards broadcast has terrible camera work. Missed the Bridges alley oop. Missed the Rozier outlet finish. Missed the Rozier half court steal. Seem to be more interested in banging on about Beal not being an All Star this year than they are about the actual game being played.

Bridges with nice sequence at both ends crashing the offensive boards and getting the put back then playing stout defense at the other end on the very next play. He seems active so far tonight.

So Thing #1 has moved ahead of Bake in the rotation again? Good to see.

Might want to keep Beal off the line. If it weren't for him getting there and making them the Wizards would only have about 15 first qty points.

Willy has been active these last few games. Is he as much of a lost cause as some posters profess him to be?

I feel like Bridges often gets fouled when he goes for those prime Blake Griffin thunder dunk attempts but the fouls are rarely called.

Who found themselves in a worse position: Walker on the Hornets or Beal on the Wizards?

HEY!! Bridges got a call on one of his prime Blake Griffin thunder dunk attempts!!

Beal would be SO good on our team. If Monk ever turned out like Beal (highly doubtful) it would make such a huge difference. I remember SWedd being super high on Beal when he was playing for Florida.

Monk has some serious hang/float time on his drives. It really takes defenders by surprise and is an awesome weapon.

Ish Smith is so quick.

We suck.
