GT Wiz vs OKC 

Post#1 » by tontoz » Sat Feb 24, 2024 1:34 am

Deni out with a heel contusion.

Gotta love Shamet getting the start instead of Poole. Poole's sense of entitlement is nauseating.

Hope Johnny gets some extended PT. I might not like what I see but would still like to see it.

Poole's taken 13 shots already. There's still 5 minutes left in the half :banghead:

:lol: @ Gooden butchering Chet's last name over and over.

Nice half from Kispert.

Looking at the box score (didn't see the first half yet). Last game Jokic went 10 for 10; this game Holmgren is already 11 for 14. Our interior defense is truly tragic at the moment.

I don’t understand our approach this year to center position. We should have had some interior presence backing up Gaff, and now he is gone. Bagley trying but more of a PF. Not trying to win games but hard to even function with zero rim protection.

The Wizards have been outscored by an average of 41 points this season in games Advija has missed.

Brutal back-to-back scheduling making by the consultants at Ernst & Young (I'm going zeitgeist here) right after the break for a really young and bad team.

With Denigod though, we would have assuredly lost by only 29...

Bags feels like a kinda poor man's Enes Kantar. Can put up some nice scoring and rebounding games, but just offers little to no resistance at the rim. Also feels like a guy that is happy to put up a pretty stat line, but really, there's not much there, there. I could be wrong, and am okay with taking a flyer on him, but he's pretty much a dude that is a minutes eater in the regular season and at best you hope can keep things even while he's in.

Bagley only played 21 minutes. The team was -31 in the minutes he was out so i don't think we can blame him for the bad defense.

I watched maybe ten minutes here and there. Honestly, I’m not sure I saw a single stop on the defensive end.

Just my luck, the first back-to-back games I’ve watched since early in the season

Wiz came close to giving up 160 and reaching that 40 point per quarter over a whole game milestone. That would have put a nice little bow on this gift of a season.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?
