Bonga 5 points including a 3. Rui 0-2. Guess who got benched after 5 minutes!

You forgot to mention the 3 rebounds & a blocked shot to none of that for Rui!

We already know about the defense advantage with Bonga. I'm just surprised by how well Bonga is shooting from 3 (38%). The arc is good (in contrast to the flat shot of Rui).

Dennis Smith has 4 turnovers in 5 minutes. That's a guy who you just shake your head at. How much he has fallen from his high school days.

Robinson + Rui continuing to get rotation minutes over TBJ + Bonga is not right.

Lots of clanking iron.

Wizards looking tired.
This would be a great time for someone off the bench to give them a lift.
And a few rebounds would be nice too...

it is hard to watch Beal play basketball. Just awful

Wizards shot quality has been awful. Nothing but long 2's. They're making them though. Meanwhile, NY is getting a feast of catch-and-shoot 3's but nobody on that team can shoot.

The Knicks are a good matchup for us. Our guards are so bad at fighting around screens that Brooks has just given up and told them to go under. The Knicks can't shoot so they can't capitalize.

Sigh...one day Beal will be a great shooter.

Beal's shot chart:

Credit to him for going to the bucket so much. But man, he can't make anything outside of 8 feet.

They're playing scrappy, like their defensive effort and on the boards. It's not pretty, they look tired but trying to fight through it...

Ish and BB are 0/8 on 3ptrs. Still, we are winning.
