Yeah. Expected a lot more from him. He never seems open

This Wizards team is a such a throwback to the 2000s. Build a not very good team around a not quite good enough SG and hope for the best.

Solid game. Carved them up. Wizards are not a pushover team in any sense. Great win!

Every game against them, feels the same since 2013.

We would win this game with Jojo, but of course we are supposed to accept him sitting out.

This is a game we should and are supposed to win, which is why none of us care. But we might lose, you have to ask why


If he played and looked like **** because he was sick, people would blame him as well. Can't really win. Either he plays, and is ****, which he usually is, as he doesn't have the Jordan flu game in him. Or he doesn't play, and people are frustrated with that.

At this point, it's complaining to just complain. The teams deficiencies is far more related to our "amazing additions this year", Doc, Tyrese not getting enough usage, terrible defense, and non existant bench.

Joel absolutely has room to improve, but he is not the reason why we are an average team right now.


Why is he out?

No clue


Huh?

They said he was sick, and has been ill for a few days. Have you seen the twitter updates? It's been posted multiple times by different beat writers.

No win should be ignored, especially when I actually watched it lol.

A building game for the bench, other than House who I have reservations about in the rotation in general other than his size, but the real issue here is Melton.

Melton could be either this year or next year's 6th man of the year, with Trezz on the squad. Mr. do something, Melton will get his, I hope we don't put too much pressure on something that is working.
