  1. Polani_almoni

    KP with a great first quarter.
    Deni with a great second half and an amazing defence.
    Kispert shouldn’t play for almost 20 minutes and take only two shots.
    I think the refs should call for travel every once in a while.

  2. Why do we turn the ball over so much what the fuck

  3. Frustrating loss. We just can’t hold onto these leads. Of course we’re not gonna shoot 68% FG the whole game but the rebounding problem sucks ass

  4. PerfectShip3018

    Ted all happy taking selfies at the end of the game when choking a 20+ lead in a crucial game sums up where his intentions are with this team

  5. 23 points on 23 shots for Kuz is just not gonna cut it

  6. Solid-Confidence-966

    Tough loss. But it’s not exactly a backbreaker in the standings

  7. FanfromISR

    Beal with a bad game Kuz with a bad game and you dont bench them….

  8. reddithaborer

    I will get heat for this but Kuzma selfishness cost us the game there is no reason in the world for him to shot 23 shots when KP and Beal shot 24 combined it feels he only cares about his stats not the win

  9. 35chambers

    this franchise is doomed as long as we are financially tied to beal and kuz

  10. crabmusic

    $50 million a year to drop a whopping 16 points.

  11. ksmit111

    Missing 4 bunnies is not gonna lead to victories

  12. blkandoutside

    I just really don’t understand how this is better than trying to move up in a loaded, top-heavy draft.

    I want to understand it, I do lmao 😂

  13. DanielThePlainGuy

    Randle decided he’s MJ and the refs agreed wholeheartedly, Kuz with a dummy game, WUJ saving that challenge for later as usual.

  14. tleikheen

    Just when the national media was starting to take notice of the Wizards they show what a collective dumb team they are , only hunting for 3 pt shots the whole 4th quarter and absolutely no boxouts on defensive rebounds.

  15. CommunicationMain467

    Refs were dogshit, but we ain’t winning shit grabbing no boards and turning it over every other possession

  16. Th3-3rr0r

    If only Kuzma was as hellbent about offensive rebounds as he is about padding his points column…

    Does he know that an offensive rebound equals another shot chance? Does he know that rebounds are also a major stat?

  17. deshawnstevenson

    Bad bad bad bad loss. Hope they can learn from this and recover but given this franchise’s history it’s likely they will do the opposite. Just so frustrating.

  18. Substantial-Lab-5647

    Knicks fans are a scourge upon the nba

  19. latterdaysasuke

    The Lashington Lizards going back to their bread and butter bullsht- blowing double digit first half leads.

  20. Sad for the loss.. I must see Deni’s defensive stats of tonight’s game. It was crazy good

  21. I could be wrong here but I feel like it became Kuz vs. Julius game after Kuz poked Julius with “too small” and then it became an extended 1v1, and Julius won

  22. Where’s that guy who said the Wizards would easily win

  23. Buffalo-Physical

    I blame the Wiz TOs, Kuz’s ‘too little’ celebration on Randle and the guy who jinx us saying it’s an easy win ’cause it’s the “Knicks”.

  24. Hey guys, I went to prepare the wizards bed for tonight after that one guy in the game thread called it an easy win. Why ain’t nobody’s coming?

  25. shojunkuze

    How can a team lose so many games while leading by 19 or more points ?

  26. Didn’t watch the game. Why did Kyle Kuzma shoot 23 shots, while KP and Beal shoot significantly less?

  27. ChestRockwell415

    Sooo depressing. We continue to shoot well from 3 and were getting great looks all night. Just some lazy turnovers and missed layups. Beals body language and play was real sluggish. He should probably also accept that he’s not going to get a favorable whistle anytime soon after bumping that ref. He can’t let the refs get in his head.

    The tightrope walk WUJ has to do with the twin towers rotation really goes off the rails when Gaff gets in foul trouble. All of the sudden you end up playing 3 centers in KP, Gaff and Taj 60 total minutes.

    Deni was great. He probably would have gotten 30mpg if it wasn’t for that fall. Hopefully KP wakes up ok tomorrow as well. This time of year teams tighten up their rotation. BOS basically went into a playoff rotation for their big regular season run at the end of last year. I would love to see Deni, whether starting or not, get 30mpg and Beal/KP/Kuz get 35+ and Gaff, Wright, Morris get the majority of remaining minutes. You can still go 10 deep but cluster the majority of the minutes amongst the top 7 guys.

  28. Deni is my guy. I really liked seeing the amount of communication between him and Kuz. But man, what a frustrating loss, holy turnovers
