Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Kara Lawson looks like a member of the Uruk Hai. I’d forgive her if she didn’t sound like a drone.

Bring back Chenier.

Bryant already has 4&3 on 3 shots in just 8 minutes. His production is ridiculous

Otto is in a mini slump. Hopefully that turns around quickly

Otto has been really lousy these past few games. Why must Wall hold him back?


Sorry couldn't help it. Maybe it's time to move him back with the starters so Sato can spoon feed him.

Let's see how much more inside abuse we take before Scott puts Bryant back in.

Man, Orlando is terrible. How many unforced turnovers have they had? How many times are they going to let Green step into a wide open 3?

Hopefully Otto can break out of this slump , so we can flip him to the Utah Jazz asap (if we’re lucky that’s still on the table!)

If I haven't said this before, I'll say it now. It sure is nice to have a team where I kinda like everyone in the rotation. I love Beal, Sato, Bryant, Porter and Dekker. And Green and Ariza are good smart vets who make the right play. Even Mahinmi is likable in his own awkward manner. He may not be the most coordinated fellow in the world, but he tries out there. Everybody plays hard and everyone is unselfish.

I'm so happy Rivers and Morris are out. And, the way he has played for the past 1.5 seasons, I don't miss Wall either. As good as he was when healthy, the style of play with him on the floor was rarely aesthetically pleasing.

What is on the table?

A totally unneeded Favors? We wouldn't resign him.

Effectively you would be flipping Porter for more luxtax breathing room. What exactly do you plan to do with that room? We won't get far enough under the cap to have anything more than the MLE to work with. I guess you could resign a 34-year old Ariza with Bird Rights. Yay.

If Otto is playing hurt again trade him before the rest of the league catches on

He's been lousy for one game. Now it's one game plus 15 minutes.

Porter can't box out to save his life.

The Wizards actually showed a little poise down the stretch. Got good shots and played good D in the final 2 minutes. That was a bad turnover by Beal though. Just call a timeout if you get trapped like that!

And Ariza ices it!

Escaped with a victory after a pretty bad collapse. I'll take it.

Return to Washington Wizards
