It’s on right now. We got down 10-0 in the first 2 minutes. So there’s that.

Jerome Robinson is an absolutely atrocious passer.

3 times early in the 1st quarter, a Wiz guard let an OKC guard drive right past him, so Bryant had to pick up the driver - leaving Muscala all alone - because nobody switched onto him - and he drained wide open 3's each time.

Ish really needs to play better at both ends. He's never been a good shooter, but he usually makes better decisions than this.

Man, Bryant is just getting run ragged on defense. Love the guy, but is there any 5 in the league that can stay on the floor for significant minutes with this kind of shortfall?

Right, he could not get on the floor in a playoff game. There’s more to a player than his true shooting percentage.

When do we get rid of D-league coach? That's where that guy should be....coaching the Gogo. Not an actual NBA team.

As both of the tv broadcasters said during the game, the Wiz interior defense was worse when Wagner came in to replace Bryant, and Bryant has stepped up his defense the last few games.

The entire team played poorly today. And tired of the excuses - even when they're legit excuses. Players are saying - Well, we're playing against good teams. I gotta laugh at the local media agreeing with them when they kept saying before that the Wiz had a real chance at making the playoffs. Truth is they never had any chance. Still, that's not an excuse for poor play.

Even odds he’s already received a “secret” two year extension.
