Ugly game. Kuzma, no question. Ice in his veins.

Kuz.

And I’m dedicating this choice to Nat.

In the 4th quarter and OT, Kuzma had 18 points, 3 boards and 2 assists. The team as a whole only scored 30. Kuzma is POTG.

Gafford also had a very good game, playing the last 13 minutes with no rest and locking down the paint. He wasn't so great at guarding Cunningham on switches, but he was just about perfect everywhere else.

Avdija was very good in the 1st half, but somewhat invisible in the 2nd. He did make really good plays in help D.

Twenty-six games, essentially one-third of the regular season played, and Bradley Beal has only been POTG in two of 15 wins.

That's mind-boggling.

Our “super max” star playing quite disappointing overall, with horrendous career low 3 pt shooting percentages and career high TOs (especially in the clutch).

Any competent franchise will try to shop him hard before the trade deadline…but Terd is gonna Terd unfortunately..

This was the tally last season including the Play-In Win and the Game #4 win vs. the 76ers in Round 1.

Westbrook x13
Beal x9
Gafford x4
Bertans x2
Neto x2
Lopez x2
Hachimura x1
Smith x1
Avdija x1
Bryant x1

Kuz wasn't like this

Watch on YouTube

but close enough for the Wiz.

Kuzma has the confidence to take and make the big shots in the 4th. Meanwhile our supermax player loses his mind late in games. I saw this somewhere else where someone compared Beal to Kirk Cousins, and it really does feel like a similar situation.

To be fair, one of the reasons for this in the past was that Beal was always very consistent. He always showed up and played pretty well; but, by himself, he wasn't enough win games. But when another player contributed with a random big game, it was enough to deliver a win, with that other player get the lion's share of credit.

To put it succinctly, Beal was the Wizards POTG in nearly all of our losing efforts, but we only vote after wins.

(That's not necessarily the case this year, where Beal has been pretty consistently inefficient.)
