In Person bout time bill😊
Wizards are going to manage to win exactly 23½ games somehow
26 wins
4 wins less than Detroit and San Antonio seems like a lot
“He gets his hands on balls better than a Kardashian” 😂😂😂
Doesn’t Poole make like 26 mil a year? Lol that’s not going to be bad at all for him. He’s going to average 24 or so on like 36 percent from 3. In 2024 that ain’t bad for 26 mil
That Magic Johnson poster kinda wild.
"they could go 20-30" lmao
They could surprise ppl like the Jazz did last year
This sounds like an intervention
They have the best backup pg in the league quietly now, he has the best assist to turnover ratio
Tyus jones that is
They will score 130 but other team will score more 😀
That magic johnson cut out is crazy 😂
House has me rooting for the wizards. I need 25 out of them
24 is easily doable unless they go full tank mode all year
The Wizards have been in NBA purgatory for years and years … that’s the phrase used constantly on local sports talk radio here.
They’ve been a random ~8 seed, and I think they went head to head with the Celtics one year? It’s not worth me googling.
I have no doubt it will change until I see it.
They need to just be bad… like awful bad.
They might be better than Pistons and Blazers that’s it the Spurs with Wemby won’t be that bad
They're going to be B.A.D but they'll be fun bad… will be surprisingly competitive some nights and there are a lot of guys on the team who are rotation pieces on good teams
That said, as a Wiz fam, still definitely taking the Under here
Poole is fun to watch play basketball 🏀
Porzingus is so overrated I can’t wait to laugh at bill and Celtics fans this year when they realize he’s not a winning player
Agree, the over seems like a solid bet.
House looking like a genius after Poole dropped 29 in the first half last night
Was this show this morning live or recorded before Poole smoked the knicks with 41?
I think this team is a very sneaky play in team. They just handled the Knicks who basically played the game like it was a regular season game.
Drunk House is my hero 😂
Poor House, this man always has such hope only too have this team win 34 games every year
The Wizards have some guys who can win some awards this year. Jordan Poole for example could win Shaqtin a Fool MVP.
This take was cringe asf, wizards actually have one of the most exciting dios this year Kyle kuzma and Jordan poole
They gotta get 24 wins…
LMAO if you dont have the wizards dead last in the east I would love to bet with you
hornets may give them a run, but no, the wizards are so poorly run, they have no basis to compete
You're not invited to the Poole party, Ben.
He’s crazy long is crazy
They'll win 23 games, but Poole will average 32+ ppg.
What you are witnessing here with regards to House is the WizKids/Coulibaly Koolaid that has been passed around the DMV.
Mr. Simmons is an encyclopedia. Out of all the so-called sports journalist, this guy is the real deal.
The state of the Wizards lmao
I could see wizards getting 24 or more wins. It's just a really low bar. And I don't think porzingus contributed to winning
Poole showed em last night
Theyll get 24 wins ez
People are underrating Okc harden. There’s a reason why Houston instantly became good when he joined
Poole had a better win percentage last year as the #1 option then steph. That was without steph and wiggins.
Interesting stat for all the poole haters. I don’t expect a ton of wins but it will be because of the roster beyond poole and kuz
nah that Kardashian line was a bar 🔥😂 1:50
I love how this managed to get genuinely awkward for a second around the end as 3 grown men tried to not hurt each others feelings
