It’s Game Day for all you Wiz loyalists. Another opportunity to exercise your right to see the glass half empty or full. Attitude is everything when it comes to watching the Wizards. I’ve always been an underdog so I learned from my Buddhist mom how to find the sweetest moments in the bitterness of life.

I know I am a fool, but I can’t help but want the team I’ve rooted for since I was 7 years old to win. But I also feel conflicted because I get gleefully dizzy dreaming of who a top 3 pick in the next draft would bring.

All that I feel makes me alive.
Life is good.

Go WIZ !!!

I assume that Flagg or AD will guard Kyshawn which will be a good test for him. Dallas should be really motivated after getting punk'd by the Spurs.

Wiz by 30. After the game, Nico Harrison trades us Flagg for Gill. FBI later finds out Nico is Billups' cousin and NBA voids the trade. Wiz sign Mahinmi in the offseason.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

What are Cooper Flagg's highs in:

Points
Rebounds
Assists
Blocks
Steals

I think he will shoot something like 13-18 FGs en route to dropping career highs.

The bar for career highs is pretty low, 10 pts, 0 assists and 0 blocks. :lol: Tre topped him in all 3 categories in game 1.

The 10 rebounds will be tougher to top.

Flagg has only played one NBA game. :)

But you knew that.

I think we will only be 58 losses away from our goal
after tonight.

Tre back on home state turf.

His second game is going to be far better than his first.

The guy who historically has killed us is AD. I think he went for 50 against us as a Laker not that long ago.

I'd give AJJ more PT than those other 2 guys in #4.

Wow you fixed that logo quickly lol.

The vets are going to get their minutes. If we were willing to give plenty of minutes to Kuzma and Poole we aren't going to bench CJ and Khris.

Jason Kidd is experimenting with Flagg at PG.

It's going to be interesting if that continues to slow down Dallas as it did against San Antonio.

Yeah Flagg at pg is dumb. I don't see the point of it at all. His handles aren't that good and it takes away his off ball cutting to the rim.

gratuitous critique of Flagg (by me), if his handle was that good, Duke might have won a Chip on the last shot
in the semi final and gotten to the Final game.

Someone tell Kash Patel he needs to investigate CJ McCollum
