The pictures are a cool touch.

As for how to do a game thread. There is no wrong way. I imagine most people don't pay much attention to the first page anyway. Specially if they are long.

You did a fine job.

Good run by the Wiz to get back in it. Wall getting his groove back. We still can't hit a three though :(

judging by Witt's rotation (atleast in this game), he doesnt see Porter as a viable option at taking some of Beal's minutes. Started Rice and backed him up with Silas before Porter even came in

Silas looks NBA confident.

Thats a good sign.

Yeah, he sees Porter as a SF only. The struggle is real on offense.

Gotta say I've never been a Seraphin fan but he's really impressed on offense.

I think he's always had that offensive firepower. I remember last year when dominated Dwight Howard to help the wiz comeback (then lose) against the rockets. His defense is questionable and inconsistent.

Love seeing Otto come off that screen.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

That's the first non-floater layup I've seen wall take in a long time.

Ugly offense in the 2nd half.

No structure.

Poor perimeter defense, we're getting lost on transition defense.
