Cory also needs a good point guard and he works well with the Delon on the floor
Jordan Poole is basically Jordan Clarkson..maybe a poor man's Jordan Clarkson
Wes got to go he garbage this team is garbage plain and simple Poole is a joke
And gafford bum as just let anybody come to the paint
I went to this game and it was amazing until that 4Q and it just went downhill from there
Can't forget last year's 10th overall draft pick Johnny "DNP" Davis…🙄
Tic tac toe… THREE DNPs in a row!😳
It's very easy ….The coach SUCKSSSS PERIOD POINT BLANK!!!!
Wes should be fired TONIGHT
At a certain point, did it seem like we had 3 pg's playing at the same time? Deni and Poole want to be pg. Poole looks tired of taking on 6'8 and 6'9nplayers w/o any picks like at GS. Wes looks like he has a grudge against the team. He purposely tried to kill any heat.
Poole hurting this team period and Unseld Jr is allowing this crap
I find it funny how almost every episode Brandon talks about developing players like developing them hard enough will magically make them superstars. Some people just don't have the talent or the drive to be stars at the nba-level or even starting caliber players. Development is obviously important but players like deni and johnny davis will probably never be impactful nba players because they don't have either the talent, skillset or drive etc.
For example – Anthony bennet/marvin bagley would still be busts even if they went to teams with the best development.
Trust the process 😊
just find somebody not named wess to coach. and Maybe somebody that can actually coach pool as he is diminishing value . he should not play in rhe 4th
don't lissen to the fan from israel dani is a great player but somtieams he need to de criticize
Brandon and Ed , My nick fully displays where I'm from. I just want to give you guys a vote of confidence. I've been listening to your shows for a while now, and your takes on Deni are legit, professional, and I've never heard a comment which even showed a hint of being racially motivated whether agreed up on or not.
In fact, Deni and the Wizards have been harshly criticized by the Israeli Media for the passed games and beforehand.
siakam actually got a real bag and yall just gave him 39 off layups 😂😂😂😂😂😂i aint think there was actually a team worse than the raptors but u guys won everytime this raptors team wins a game im shocked we aint even have our two actual shooters today this a big win for Team Tank man yall gone love alex sarr man
I think theyre playing good ball until the 4th, then deciding to lose. Tvis year is about keeping their pick…while advertising their roster. Deny, Cory, Shammet, Bilial, & Gaffort are piecss. Trade the rest including wannabe Curry, ala Poole.
It was a great story for WUJ able to coach the franchise his father played in but I don’t think he’s the right coach for us. We need to get a coach that demands respect in the locker room and Poole showed he doesn’t respect his coach
Wes is not good with player substitution. He does seem to understand that the rookie needs to play. Who’s available right now? Coach wise. The wiz do need a strong big man that can play defense and rebound and defend the thinner guys. Also the team needs to find him a little more often. Trade for ruff today. Denver isn’t using him. Replace all refs! I didn’t see a lot of not trying dudes! Also the short PG shouldn’t be playing at crunch time, he is too small. The league knows the wiz can be pushed around. CONDITIONING? Maybe Wes has been told to loose. Barnes was acting yes, but not well. Poole is thin, needs to hit the weights more. Don’t give up on him. Guys will you explain about the ‘24 #1 draft pick. If they get the first pick do they keep it? Poole might be autistic. Wes goes through periods where he looks like he is wishing he was still with Denver.
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Unpopular opinion:
The wizards are losing these games on purpose.
This is a 7th seed team as is.
Edit:
I agree with some of your criticisms on deni, I disagree with some.
As an Israeli.
You guys keep it professional.
All of this “antisemitism” bullshit is uncalled for.
Keep doing your thing guys.
You actually been giving a lot praise to deni this season.
Respect.
You can't give Poole a pass! If we hold Wes accountable he needs to be held accountable also. What is he doing in the 4th qrt to close out games…
Kuzma only had 3 rebs .
It’s as simple as,Wes Unseld Jr needs to be fired,this guy does not know how to match up and he is as arrogant as his father,he’s horrible to say the least!
bros cant even talk about a basketball player playing basketball without be called racist that’s ridiculous
Wes Unseld is not coaching this team good down the stretch in the 4 quarter not closing games correctly how you have a 23 point lead and led the whole game and lose, They sorry smh lol.
One thing I saw was Gafford should of been on the floor the last few mins to play defense in the paint smh
Don't listen to the haters guys. Love from Israel
Raps fan here. …. and, WTF was that from your team? No PG out there to end it? Anyway, thanks! Both our teams are sus this year.
Raptors fan here! The wizards look like there tanking on purpose. Wes can’t be this bad of a coach can he?? Taking Gafford off the floor was dumb as hell, you we’re getting kill in the paint!!
What is going on with Poole? He thinks he's the next steph and he's done absolutely nothing. Ego is insane
Coach has been insanely trash from day 1. Without him the team would have made the playoffs last season. He’s so bad. Way worse than Ron Rivera. Such a joke
Brandon's right. Wes just doesn't make timely adjustments. It sucks seeing the potential the team has when they're flowing only for poor coaching to kill them.
Us as Washington fans been suffering for almost a half century we deserve better. The Defenders really made an impact on my sanity. At this point I’m tired of being a loser. Something needs to happen and happen fast or I’m done with the wizards and Commanders. Wes and Ron needs to go 😡😡😡
Wizzards played well in the first coz raptors played like WNBA in the first half.
Make that call to Mark Jackson for the Head Coach position. Someone that’s tried and proven. Someone who has taken a team to the playoffs. Ask, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre “ Iggy” Iguada & Draymond about Mark Jackson. Also, Andre Iguada as Asst. Head Coach. This team is depressing as hell!!! Why hasn’t Ryan Rollins & Patrick Baldwin Jr. played.
Raptors are also in a rebuild and system. So no excuses. Send Gaff to my Raptors baby.
WUJ 4 STAR GENERAL TANK COMMANDER.
Bad coaching. If Wes is not careful he’ll lose his position unless he gets right all the season games. If Wes challenged it the victory would be wiz. 9 straight misses how do you explain it?
Yoo respect to Gafford for encouraging the guys early. Respect to kuz missile and jp as well, talented guys ✌️💪
Damb wizards fans actually exist?
It’s a sham they can’t play Johnny Davis at all, he’s the #10 pick you’re gonna be the worst team regardless. Gotta give him some minutes sigh
Johnny Davis would be more efficient then Jordan poole and that’s no question but to many politics in the league only time will tell
WUJ needs to be FIRED! Poole isn't a franchise player, he is a role player like a 6th man type guy. I'm just waiting until next draft and pray we make the right pick….
You guys are extremely professional and not a ounce of any sort racism have ever been uttered on this podcast. Keep up the great work fellas you make up for the Wiz being so bad 😂
Unseld performed well enough for me. The team played well for most of the game. It was existing, yet they still stayed on cource for getting the highest pick possible. It is what it is for me, as long as I don't feel I could have done something better with my time.
Is it too far fetched to believe that they are collapsing in the 4th quarter in order to tank? Because I am having a hard time believing that they play well for 3 quarters, and all of the sudden they forget how to play basket ball. I mean gaf didn’t play in the 4th. Why….dear God why? I mean jeez
And I figured they is how it was going to end when they started to consistently run iso ball….jeez
Poole said "this is his team"! Wow It is more like this is about me. He looks about as intererested in playing as did James Harden last year.
