Well, well, well, isn't this exciting!

Obviously not expecting the starters to get a lot of burn here, but unlike years past the Wizards actually a have group of young guys I'm looking forward to see competing against NBA competition.

Our rook, Robinson, Thomas, and seeing what Oubre's accomplished over the summer, should be interesting.

I'm not going to let the looming Howard disaster distract from the excitement of finally getting to see this team play again.

No Howard, no interest. Let's hope this back injury thing isn't chronic.

Lets see what this team is made of.

Watching for 3 things

1. Small ball
2. Troy Brown a legit part of rotation
3. Sato usage

Beal, hitting a technical, season off to a good start!

Otto looking in good-form

This is the team I remember!! Keef is a total self-check clogging up the entire offense LOL.

My god. Turning that garbage off. Wall full on ISO chucking. Jason Smith and Austin Rivers are the first subs off the bench????

All of my worst nightmares are coming true

Getting a Keef upgrade should be a Top-Priority, he is a throwback sloth-like player

Knicks defensive strategy: help off of Keef no matter what.

Wizards offense: Keef bricks 5 straight wide open 3s.

Let it be known: Scott Brooks subs in Austin Rivers first off bench for Otto Porter LOL.

It’s early, but what happened to trying Otto at Center and other supposedly outside-the-box things the coach Brooks has in the works?

Otto hasn’t even played at the 4 yet lol.

That bench actually looks pretty solid. A lot of unselfish team first players mixed together

Sato only played 3 minutes or so in the 1st quarter, but he looked really impressive - playing with confidence and aggression. Mitchell Robinson on the Knicks... that is an impressive athlete who showed some transition game skills and good hands - just first impressions - but they got a steal.

Mitchell Robinson, the Knicks got a foundational piece with the the 36th pick.
