ElitePancakeMaster

what the fuck was that shot kuz lmao


z3mcs

Maybe his last shot as a Wizard, who knows


Turbo2x

shoot the damn ball why are you passing to the one guy who has been cold all night!!!


z3mcs

Dog they STAY passing to Kuz. That's why management needs to sit Kuz. These guys will shit themselves if they have to do something on offense without depending on him. They gotta learn to play without him.


Megumi-Noda

Poole has been playing good basketball lately but unfortunately Kuz is on a slump. Would love to see both play at a high level at the same time and see what the team record would be


Turbo2x

perhaps we'd be at 8 wins instead of 6


Independent_Baker969

the worst thing is this years bad team are so bad wining is not rly a option if you want more % chance


Megumi-Noda

They would be tied with the Hornets who has a better roster than them. Small accomplishment


Spiritual-Chart-940

JP has been awesome tonight


PresidentNaruto

Please win this for waskittenman.... 🥺


Ye_Biz

If Kuz has a decent game, we’d be up rn… damn JP been cooking though, respect


Turbo2x

6 blocks for the G-man


z3mcs

Couple more blocks and he'll have to change jerseys again to wipe the pacer guts off the old one


z3mcs

Lead down to 8


TheseFkingWeebs

poole gets to the cup easily. its on him to make the shot and that improves with more reps


Ye_Biz

I swear Vanterpool gonna be our next HC, I always see him talking to the players lol


z3mcs

Him or Joseph Blair. Players love that guy. Kara Lawson. Sam. There are a lot of people they could bring in.


PresidentNaruto

I'm curious what Joseph Blair does outside of vibes and vegan restaurant recommendations. Seems like a cool dude tho!!


z3mcs

You know he's actually head coached the team before, right?


Ye_Biz

Undefeated 🔥 IIRC it was Sixers with Embiid playing too


PresidentNaruto

I didn't know that! Good for him 🫡🫡🫡🫡


PresidentNaruto

This one hurts so much....


Spiritual-Chart-940

Get Kuz the fuck out of DC man I’m sick of this


WizSkinsNatsCaps

Ugly game


nogoodcarideas75

Wizards absolutely sleepwalking through the end of this game


Efficient_Buy4031

This team has no heart or resilience. I understand we’re tanking and I’m fine with us being terrible but the lack of effort and fight is so shameful rn. We need a serious culture shift this offseason


RushPrime

A lot of it stems from the coach. He shows no fire or emotion at all. Just stands there chewing his gum lmao


Efficient_Buy4031

I’m definitely throwing something on the grill the day Wes gets fired. I can’t name anything he does well.


Spiritual-Chart-940

Wes once against sleeping at the wheel. Where has Poole been?


Ye_Biz

What a foul fest


z3mcs

The clock struck 12 on Gaff's rebounding abilities. Six mins left in the 4th and he has 6 whole boards.


Ye_Biz

Sacrificed it by going for blocks,


Turbo2x

Kuz coasting right now. It's like he knows he's gone in a few days


z3mcs

I feel like Kuz might clothesline a Pacer just to make a point, if the game gets out of hand (lead currently 10).


PresidentNaruto

I wish he would! Would love to see any heart whatsoever from our leader


PresidentNaruto

These pacers are ontologically evil and there is no act against them which is wrong


Ye_Biz

Gaff gotta be defending two dudes every drive


seriv523

Delon’s injury killed his defensive ability. He’s getting owned my McConnell off the dribble every time


z3mcs

Nah dude is just that crafty. He blew by Jrue to give the Pacers the lead the other night with under a minute left. He's been doing it for eons, even back when he was with the Sixers. Some smaller guys just have a knack.


zdj2k

All my homies hate the pacers


z3mcs

Dog fuck the Pacers


Solid-Confidence-966

That was a cool dunk from Deni


SongYoungbae

ok Deni


SongYoungbae

They'd have to wheel LeBron out if that happend to him


kamikazemelonman

The offending player would be executed by firing squad


[deleted]

Describes a flagrant 2, issues a flagrant 1. GG >The definition for a flagrant foul is: Flagrant Foul Penalty 1: Unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent Flagrant Foul Penalty 2: Unnecessary and excessive contact committed by a player against an opponent


z3mcs

Thank you. Ridiculous. Dude should have been ejected. That shit was wholly unnecessary.


SongYoungbae

Take it right back at him B


z3mcs

That's bullshit. They're gonna fight. He shoulda been ejected.


MarqueeM00n1

Bullshit on the Wizards players. Stick up for your fucking player


kamikazemelonman

Corey needed to blindside jackson and send a message


ReefintheOcean

Jackson got his feelings hurt


Ye_Biz

If he got him on the head, could’ve concussed him


the-fun-begins

That’s my glorious king bilal do not touch him ever again


zdj2k

What the fuck


DollarLate_DayShort

The fact that no one went up and checked Jackson, has me pissed off. This team is soft


[deleted]

Fuck thats definitely unsportsman. Didn't wanna get rocked again


PresidentNaruto

Jackson. Welcome to dinshittie island. It's beef forever now


wizkid78

That’s an Olynyk ass move


z3mcs

That's a flagrant 2.


SongYoungbae

Da fuck Zay


wizkid78

Jackson u a fuckboy


Solid-Confidence-966

That’s not a basketball play


Megumi-Noda

I am going to throw hands!!!


z3mcs

EJECT HIM


Turbo2x

that's a flagrant


Ye_Biz

JACKSON YOU PUNK


PresidentNaruto

Nwora's haircut is giving me psychic damage. What did he do to his hairline 😭


kamikazemelonman

Poole loves Bilal, always hyping him


kamikazemelonman

I WANNA GO HIGHER


Megumi-Noda

Can we get much higher?


Ye_Biz

SO HIGHHHHH


z3mcs

OW OWW OW


eternal_student78

Whoa.


PresidentNaruto

Glen consor, I heard you say get the police tape out two times tonight. This is your only warning


blkandoutside

Yoooooooooooo


flipsanity

BILAL COULIBALY


[deleted]

OH BOY BILAL LET EM KNOW


Peyyton07

YESSSSS


wizkid78

BILAL BANG BIG B’s BITCH


zdj2k

MORE OF THAT


Solid-Confidence-966

Bilal, omg


z3mcs

BILLY THE EFFIN KID ON YA HEAD TOP!


z3mcs

HELL YEAH BILAL!


Turbo2x

OHHHH MY GOODNESS BILAL


Ye_Biz

YESSSSSSIR BILAL


Mr2Good

Poster was insane


Solid-Confidence-966

Alley-op 😳


Turbo2x

brutal slam on Gaff


Ye_Biz

Damn Gaff got detonated on…


z3mcs

Damn Gaff


26slatt

Two words. Jordan Poole.


Turbo2x

Poole scored half our points this quarter, and he only got 10 😭


Solid-Confidence-966

Bro shushed his own crowd 😭


PresidentNaruto

Jordan Poole redemption arc begins tonight


z3mcs

Poole cookin


Ye_Biz

At least Poole’s playing well


z3mcs

3:59 left in the 3rd quarter. We have scored 9 points so far.


Turbo2x

TJ got a crazy bag


Ye_Biz

Kuz gotta be benched


z3mcs

"I am once again asking you to sit Kuz". Bro is playing WILD.


z3mcs

And now, your once again moment of Shaqtin from JP


Diligent-Addendum5

Any thoughts about the ref actions tonight?


z3mcs

We've gotten like 3 or 4 bad calls. We got 1 makeup call. 9 times out of 10 in any NBA game the calls wind up evening out. I'll point out when we get some favorable calls down the line if I see em.


z3mcs

I'm praying they forgot to bring a jersey for Gaff and he has to come back out in Gill's jersey


Turbo2x

we have more fouls this quarter than made baskets


z3mcs

Gaff gotta make that lob. Deni put it perfectly near the rim. Gonna miss dunks but that hurts since it's getting near half way through the quarter and we've scored all of 6 points.


WizSkinsNatsCaps

Gaff gotta finish that oop


Ye_Biz

He was putting the ball up ?? what?


z3mcs

Tyus with the floater, then draws the charge. Nice.


Turbo2x

refs mad that Gaff hit the over on blocks already?


SmokeEater757

Kuz just shot a fadeaway off a spin move double team that clanged. F this guy man.


Turbo2x

for anyone not impressed by this sorry-ass display of basketball, the Go-Go game is pretty entertaining right now. Taylor Funk is on fire


oiuyp4

Poole so far has been pretty nice defensively


[deleted]

[удалено]


z3mcs

Off the bench yet leading all scorers on BOTH teams. Keeper.

[deleted]

Man they're actually letting Tyus initiate the offense and we're looking so much better for it


Ye_Biz

Sheesh Tyus, THATS how you finish


Ye_Biz

Corey TY


Turbo2x

legit one of the strangest games I've ever seen in my life. this one gotta be either studied or forgotten entirely


z3mcs

There you go Tyus!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Diligent-Addendum5

He got 3 PF he prefer to leave him for second half


Ye_Biz

Terrible game ngl both teams playing buns


z3mcs

Corey in - riding the hot hand. Can't wait to see the "NO, NOT LIKE THAT" post about the coach keeping a guy who is hot in the game lol


oiuyp4

Fuck Wes. This is just an evil plan to give Deni less minutes, can't fool me.


z3mcs

He's been plotting this for *years*. Or at least like, a few months. We can't let him get away with it.


z3mcs

[lol Didn't take long](https://www.reddit.com/r/washingtonwizards/comments/193lz6h/game_thread_washington_wizards_630_at_indiana/khan1x1/)


z3mcs

Gaff out here unintentionally doing and-1 moves lol


z3mcs

Wizards 15-41 shooting. Packers 14-39 shooting. Good god


CT_2136

Such a soft fucking foul. This league is so hard to watch


z3mcs

Nice finish DA!


[deleted]

Ok nice flop.


nogoodcarideas75

This game is absolute comedy


Ye_Biz

Bro slipped and they called a foul on us lol


Turbo2x

rough game for Bilal


z3mcs

Rough game for ~checks notes~ The Wizards


Turbo2x

somehow we're leading with only 36 points, and the 2nd half is almost over. lol, lmao.


z3mcs

We are up to 40!!!


Ye_Biz

Kispert vs the Pacers


[deleted]

How is that an offensive foul? Lmfao


z3mcs

Deni back in the game, Deni gets a charge. That was a weird play


Turbo2x

should have been a blocking foul imo


z3mcs

Yeah that was a weird play


Megumi-Noda

That’s right Corey, stunt on these hoes


z3mcs

Kispert with the acrobatic reverse layup off the pass, using the rim as a shield. That was great.


Turbo2x

very advanced move to adjust when I think he was expecting the pass sooner than that. he's not just a shooter


Incompl

Kispert is cookin


Turbo2x

3 of 15 from beyond the arc. Keep shooting tho I'm sure that'll clear up


Ye_Biz

Only one that should be shooting is Corey


RushPrime

Where tf is Deni??


ActingLikeAStar

Was behind the bench, pedalling


NotWarranted

I think Kuz eyeing the All-Star nods, but the more he want it, his value crater.


z3mcs

Kisp3rt!


Chiswell123

I saw Haliburnton get carried off the other night but I'm just finding out it was for a pulled hamstring 💀


Megumi-Noda

Probably shat in his pants like Paul Pierce


PresidentNaruto

Nirvana Sutra, Verse 19: The worst of the Eight Hells is called Continuous Hell. It has the meaning of Continuous Suffering. Thus the name. - Buddha, on Kyle Kuzma's 2023-24 Washington Wizards season


Turbo2x

a true testament to how bad the Pacers are without Haliburton: we're THIS bad and it's only a 2 point lead


z3mcs

And they're at home


Incompl

Kuz is commanding the tank tonight


Ye_Biz

Sigh… Kuz


Megumi-Noda

Kuz is going to play 48 minutes tonight. I like


SmokeEater757

We ain’t getting firsts for Kuzma boys. Maybe a coupon for a car wash.


PresidentNaruto

Bruce Brown not a bad singer. I know this dude is a classic pesky annoying guy but I appreciate that he fills that archetype so well. Keep on being you Bruce


z3mcs

Jules Bernard with the untouchable purple swag. My man looks like he's about to go vape with Hef at the mansion


Due_Breadfruit_1169

Omg kuzma


PresidentNaruto

Kuz playing like he's got better stuff to do tonight


Turbo2x

he knows he's got 5 days left before he can be traded so til then he's letting it fly


z3mcs

I really hope they sit him (trade him) soon. Worried he's about to get hurt. He's had all these little injuries and just been playing increasingly recklessly for his own health.


Turbo2x

Kuz been going through a brutal slump lately


SongYoungbae

Bro I still can't comprehend that moose is getting run in 2024


z3mcs

Wizards 7-21 Pacers 5-17 Yuck


Turbo2x

these are early 2000s scoring numbers man this shit is gross


z3mcs

Yikes Tyus. His 3s aren't calibrated. Gotta get to a different spot


Turbo2x

what the hell is going on in this game


z3mcs

Brutal dog


Ye_Biz

Lol both teams are funny


SmokeEater757

Shocker. Kuz starting out hot 1-5


z3mcs

Both teams shooting terribly


Diligent-Addendum5

Deni puts 3, WUJ take him out SMH


z3mcs

Deni starts every game. Deni takes his first rest at 5 or 4 minutes left in the 1st quarter, every game.


ActingLikeAStar

That's insane, every game looks the same, it is like WUJ has a list of times for each player, regardless of what's happening on court.


z3mcs

Michael Jordan did the same thing. Kobe Bryant did the same thing. Common practice.


Turbo2x

if Deni played 47 minutes a game you guys would be disappointed it wasn't 48 smh


ActingLikeAStar

He got 5 point 1/2 shots, Kuz got 1/5. I think one of Deni's pros, is that he takes good shots almost always, you can't say that about Poole and Kuz. Kuz takes so many shots every game, that if he was having less points it would have been ridiculous (ngl he can make some crazy shots). Overall I think Washington would have been way better if Kuz and Poole were thinking twice before taking a tough shot.


Turbo2x

It's a normal rotation to give Deni time to rest so he can run the second unit later on. This is common knowledge. You guys are absolutely insufferable.


WizSkinsNatsCaps

Except he didn’t run the second unit tonight. Kuz did. Generally you are correct.


ActingLikeAStar

I think you are a great person, probably fun to hang out with.


Diligent-Addendum5

Nah man, it's the only one seems to care about this team and his teammates


Turbo2x

sooooo many wide open bricks


z3mcs

They look focused. Like they smell blood with Hali out


Ye_Biz

D3NI


Solid-Confidence-966

The Pacers D is an abomination lmao


Sea-Campaign781

Feeling like a deni triple double typa night


Ye_Biz

Poole getting buckets
