This court makes it hard to watch. The lack of contrast reminds me of pre HDTV, watching the bullets on a rabbit eared, early generation color TV.

Jimmy Butler living at the line.

Really hate the "crafty vet" garbage. Butler gets a running start, gets in the lane, throws about 16 pump fakes, lunges into contact and draws a shooting foul

Btw: this one is about to become uncompetitive

Shooting galore and little D so far for both teams…tied at 34 points in the 1st q…

Not sure I understand Wes' rotations. This group can't score or defend. Gotta probably figure out how to have two of three - Deni, Kuz, Jones - on the floor at all times. Surround them with a rotation of Shamet, Poole, Bilal, Gaff and some spare parts.

Some nice games from the young fellas. Deni, Davis, and Bilal have all had several nice moments.

Jordan Poole can be infuriating…

WUJ lineups are so freaking mechanical. He got the team out of rhythm when they were playing well with just poor game management.

Poole so bad... :noway:

Deni looked maybe like he hyperextended his knee on that drive, hoping it was just a stinger.

The court is the only thing making this palatable. Watching this 3rd quarter trash on a regular court would be even harder. At least the color vomit on the court distracts a bit.

Ok, I'll give you that. This game is uglier than the court.

Shooting 57% from the field, 47% from 3, down 20. There’s absolutely no way to avoid the tank this year

Bring in the G leaguers

Wizards just don't have good enough primary option to compete if they turn it over like this and if don't play defense. At least Deni was having a good game.

A few fun moments toward the end. They do that just to keep you watching.
