I’ll accept a normal loss. No heartbreaking choke where they blow a 30 point lead. Not a blowout either. Just got beat by a superior team. That’s fine. Bilal had a good game and continued to shoot it well. I like that.
Now imagine if Kuz would have shot 26 and not Poole how different the game could have been and Deni shooting only 5 shots is sad
Poole’s jersey in the Rose Bar rafters tonight.
30 pts on 26 shots. 1 rebound. 1 assist.
The least ethical hooper I’ve ever seen. Nipping at Dinwiddie’s heels on the all time shit list.
They gotta do something with Poole, I’m sorry. 30 points on 26 shots is abysmal. And it really does feel like he’s out of sync with the entire rest of the team. Coach gotta make the call and have him coming off the bench or something. Start Shamet.
Wiz with 4 total TOs while shooting 55% and still getting blown out is something else
To be honest pretty good game.
Poole/Jones looked better which is good for their trade value. Kuzma/Shamet also go theirs.
And of course Bilal look good. Decent enough games for Deni, Kispert, and Gafford.
Was nice to see them feeding Gaff in the post, even though he was fighting a war down there. We need another big body down on the block to take some of the weight off his shoulders. I don’t think he will make it through the season if games continue to go like they did tonight for him.
Kyle Kuzma became the player he could always become if he wasn’t forcing his shots so often.
Career high 13 assists. Only needed to box out more, and doing a bit better defensively.
All in all, he always had this potential, but the lack of BBIQ hurt him.
Let’s hope he can learn to do the opposite of Poole, which is playing similar to him (but way more radical-egoistic).
Jordan Poole totally demolished Deni Avdija’s +/- tonight, I don’t know why WUJ thought it is good idea to let JP play for so long with Deni.
why doesnt the coaching staff hold Poole accountable?
Glad Jones is upping his trade value!
It feels like we are taking baby steps in the right direction. Hornets, Hawks, Pistons, Bucks and Magic coming up. Hopefully we can go 2-3 in that stretch.
I’m absolutely shocked that another big man went for 40+ on this terrifying interior defense. Shocked I tell you!
Would like to see Deni get more shots off and make his free throws if he’s gonna continue to improve his driving game
Giannis went 20 for 23. That should be a typo but it’s not.
Oof. Watching football b/c the game is actually good, but.. 142 points?!?
