2-14 Washington is at 2-14 Detroit; so of course the Wiz is sitting Poole. Will Washington hit 7 wins this year? I am skeptic.

As a recovering Poole fanboy...it's not even clear if sitting Poole is trying to win or trying to lose

I feel sorry for Kuzma. But with his every-year-declining contract (25.23.21.19; locked in till 26/27), he won't be in Washington at season's end. He must be the most tradeable player in the league.

And then the Wiz can Really take this tanking thing seriously. 75 loses or bust!

Washington is a terrible team but they play better on the road. They go from league worst net rating to only 19th. We'll have to pay attention that game to keep the streak going.

I am more shocked by how horrible Detroit is. At least there is talent (and hope) on the Pistons; Washington is just bad.

Clippers should be ashamed, losing at home to Den with no Jokic or Murray or AG (Porter played but was awful). 36-16 4th quarter….

Did you see Keyontes poster dunk on Dyson?

While we are watching Jett in GL...

We'd be watching any of our second pick rookies in G-League most likely

shooting 33% from 3, DRTG of 122, PER of 10.8

way too early to make any big declarations on either player.

Worse than 33% from 3 (which is at least semi acceptable on the right volume), George right now is only shooting 39.7% from 2PT which is horrendously bad.

But he's on a bad team is going to be given the opportunity to play big minutes on the ball. Something he simply wouldn't have gotten here.

Anyone feel like putting up a specific thread for Raptors-Nets and Bulls-Celtics tonight, perhaps?

gonna go ahead and credit the Wizards ability to close out last night's game comfortably with the fact that Poole was benched

True. But dang, watching him play as a rookie even with his crappy team you can see he has IT. I mean I could be wrong but this is the same feeling I got when I saw Kessler play as a backup in UNC or the few clips I saw Luka play in Europe. There is just something there that screams Real Basketball Player.

TBF I thought the same when I saw Marvin Bagley as well. lol

That Rockets team is so damn good. Hats off to what their management did turning a group of mistake prone youngsters into a winning team overnight with their free agent signings. Fred and Brooks are a culture for that team.

Sometimes you need luck. Ime being radioactive allowed a bottom feeder to snag a great coach that they would otherwise have no chance of landing. Either way, credit to the FO for pulling the strings to bring it all together.

Who'd have thought Fred was a good PG eh?

Getting rid of a cancer like KPJ certainly did wonders as well.
