No team gives up more points than Washington, Charlotte is third worst.

This will assuredly be a red carpet affair, bring your martinis.

I'm all for tanking in the long run, but I'd like to see a win here. The team needs to win 1 out of every 4 games to keep morale up.

I am not a fan of starting 2 undersized guards. Our perimeter D will be nonexistent. Looking forward to a time when Bilal plays more G and can be placed next to Poole or Jones.

I think we have a chance to win this game. I will predict 135 pts for us. Let’s go!!

Hornets announcers so bad. Their color guy is so obnoxious.

Literally talking **** when their squad is garbage too.

Gaff is protecting the rim pretty well.

Imagine how the rebuilding would look with Mark Williams or Jalen Duren instead of Johnny Davis

Yeah, he and Shamet can play. Hope we find a good deal for them and for us sooner than later

Bilal’s 3 pt shooting form looks good, though a bit slow: 2/2 tonite

The more I see this team, the more I believe Bilal-Deni-Kuzma is the way to go.

That feeling after a win, but you remember Johnny Davis was a lotto pick.

Not much to complain about tonight. Only thing I gotta say....Shamet should get alot more minutes, and a certain player should have his minutes reduced significantly.

I'm still in the trade Kuzma for a pick camp, but it sure as hell has to be a GOOD pick. Kuzma has it. On a good team, he's a legit third option.

So, the Wizards are better than Charlotte. Yah. Means despite how bad things go this year the Wiz likely won’t have the worst record and thus less odds at selecting number one overall. Again, yah.

Unpopular opinion - Bilal should be taken aside to the G-League for special attention where he can work FT on his offense for a couple of months, then re-inserted into NBA rotation. Bilal has great defense instincts, but as you wrote, he is way too-passive on offense.
