GT #37: Thunder @ Bullets 6 PM (MonSportsNet/980 AM)

Kuzma makes the Wizards unwatchable. Selfish brand of bad basketball. Clown.

It occurred to me that Kuz takes care of the ball as if he was playing against a team that
played D like he plays D.

Never seen so many lazy passes get stolen in the open court.

And his shot selection... don't get me started.

Plenty of time left for a comeback.

If these were two more typical NBA teams perhaps. Otherwise, green font?

Reserves outplayed the starters again. Even Kyshawn went to the line and went 8 for 8 (though 0 for 5 elsewhere).

Kyshawn was a lit 25 watt bulb during a power failure. I applaud the fact that he's showing
he has some shooting ability.

PS - I need to look up how long OKC was truly horrible inbetween their trip to the Finals
and now.

They made the NBA Finals in 2012 with Durant, Westbrook, Harden.

They missed the playoffs in 2015 and got rid of Scotty Brooks.

Donovan went to the playoffs every year after that. Including the Bubble year in 2020 where they had CP3, SGA, and Dennis Schröder leading the way.

They've only been terrible in Mark Daigneault's first two seasons. 2021-22 and 2022-23.

With all the draft capital from the Paul George trade and other deals that Presti did, it makes sense they were able to rebuild quickly. More bites at the apple. And SGA turning into a legitimate MVP-caliber player helps a ton.
