Podcast Network your team every single day and I watch wi is break a 16 game losing streak beating the Charlotte Hornets at home 112 to 100 so it’s definitely time to celebrate but let’s get into how we won this game and this was a hard game and there was a

Point where we were starting to say oh here we go again they gonna give it up but they fought hard so um who won this game for us tonight e oh man um it was a group effort for sure man but Brian keth made some adjustments man with having

That lineup of Jordan P Cory kissper Denny rwn Holmes and Kyle kman man those guys played really really well in that fourth quarter they won the fourth quarter 44 to 24 they made their free throws um a bunch of assists moving the ball finishing at the rat getting to the

Basket Denny Couz getting to the basket Jordan P his shot wasn’t falling but guess what he made some really nice passes to ran Holmes ran Holmes was finishing with some dunk so guys were out there doing different things when they shot was weren’t falling because they shot terrible from the three-point

Line the Hornets did as well but they stepped up and got stops when they needed it made free throws when they needed it uh I mean it it was it was a good second half I mean it was a disappointing third quarter the third quarters are always rough for the

Wizards they lost the third quarter 31 to 20 and they were down they were leading they had a they had a good lead for a little bit of course they lost that lead and then they woke up in that fourth quarter and uh and took over for

The most part but they really made it a point to get to the basket that was a big thing that I really like Denny was relentless like I said just as a team they had 66 points in the paint to the Hornets 48 and they actually outrebounded the Hornets which is

Something that we don’t do and rwn Holmes was a big part of that 54 rebounds to the Hornets 48 we were 20 for 23 from the free throw line so we made it a point to get to the basket and get to the free throw line um you know

Tus was not a part of that fourth quarter lineup yeah I think that is an adjustment that Brian Keef made I mean we had a lot of guys that have long Wings spans out there K has a long Wings span Denny um you know Cory kissper 66

As well Jordan P 64 playing point guard Jordan P Off the Bench man it’s been just a huge huge and Ted Leon was courts I I see somebody com that so Ted was there for the win and Zach Le on his court side but um yeah and it feels like

A party the Wizards finally made it to 10 wins it’s ter this is this is awful but I mean they finally made it to 10 wins I didn’t think they were going to make it to 10 wins for a little while but um yeah Jordan P being coming off

The bench man he’s just a different player man he’s a different player he’s playing with so much confidence I’m really happy for him you know he’s not getting booed anymore fans chanting F Jordan p uh like I said his shot wasn’t falling but he he did different things

He got other guys involved and you see rwn Holmes um he’s playing really well with baggley being out and uh Gafford being traded he stepped up and he’s done his job and he’s doing what he’s supposed to do so I I got to give my I

Got to tip my CA Jordan P Denny with a double double 18 and 14 boards that was a he had a grown man game tonight so shout out to Denny shout out to uh you know the Denny fans are super happy for him ran Holmes with a double double KZ

Flirted with a triple double almost messed around and got a triple double shout out to iceq 28 points nine assists and eight boards and he was Zero for seven from the three so he couldn’t hit a three at all tonight but once again stepped up and and played like he was

610 and got to the basket and that’s when he started to dominate and that’s when the wizard started to dominate as well um ker with 13 Off the Bench as well and then Blau with 11 and four boards so um just getting to the bat and

Not selling for threes like we we beg for this Jordan paol not to and Jordan paol hit a big step back three uh to to separate us ear early in the fourth quarter but this is what we’ve been asking for C like if C is GNA be here

Like you always say shot selection if that three is not falling you’re 610 man get to the basket you know create contact get to the free throw line there’s other things that you can do like he’s so talented there’s other things than just settling for a step

Back three-pointer so um we we saw some things from guys that they should have been doing all season and I know it’s a lesser team no lamelo ball yeah no uh Mark Williams I get it they’re missing a lot of guys they traded some guys uh PJ Washington traded they brought a grant

Williams or whatnot Trey man didn’t play either so I get all that you know but um the Wizards would definitely take one of one of the 10 wins this year for sure yeah they’ll definitely take it man I think we’ll definitely take it too um breaking that 16 game losing streak

Uh you mentioned it Kyle kma um don’t be too hesitant no don’t be too dependent on that shot and he wasn’t you know obviously it was not the best KN for his three-point shot shooting 0 for seven but you know he drove the lane he utilized his size he broke the defense

Down he he lot of good passing ball movement looked good tonight for this team I mean Kyle kman great passing Jordan pull great passing Denny the vision was there I mean this was a beautiful team Victory man it really was and it just shows you that there’s

Talent on this team but when they play as a team man they can surprise I mean because looking at Kyle kman man you know he’s a big reason why we won this game 26 points eight boards nine assists shooting 10 for 22 overall from the field not his best night shooting

Three-point wise but hit every free throw one still two blocks only two turnovers and only three personal fouls so big reason why we won this game um Kyle kman did his thing tonight you know he was getting into the people early on definitely shown the leadership

Um so you know look did his thing tonight had nothing negative to say because like you said you like we both said e um he you know he’s got to bring you know he’s got to shoot better High percenter shots you know and utilize his size definitely driving the layem man

And he did that he’s he’s done everything we asked him to do so I’m not even mad um turbo again turbo offensively has arrived man 18 points 14 boards two assists shooting eight for 14 two blocks I mean this was a block party tonight man I mean they were celebrating

Early on man I mean they were blocking every I mean even the first half I mean this was a really good team Victory man because even defensively I mean everybody was blocking man I mean even Tai got a block Bow’s got a block Denny got two Kyle K’s got two blocks Shan

Holmes won Jordan P’s got three blocks one still I mean let’s goes on I mean this was you know it’s even when the shot wasn’t dropping which the three-point shot was abysmal for both teams tonight but the these guys kept themselves in the fight they found other

Ways to contribute so you know looking at Jordan P you know obviously wasn’t his best night shooting you know 6 for 17 overall two for 10 from three but I mean defensively like this is a whole another dude like who is this guy like before we were talking about how he’s

Probably one of the worst defenders in the league and I mean he’s got a three blocks I mean the energy the effort I mean this is what you want to see this is culture this is how you build a winning culture man is playing like this

Playing to win and I get it you know no lamelo you know I get it but you’ll take a win you know just seeing them not being so you know leaning so heavily on ISO ball and really you know passing the ball around you know ball movement team

Basketball it was beautiful to watch man because they were catching ran Holmes driving the lane man and it was beautiful I mean looking at um Bal 11 points shooting four for seven from the field one for four from three he had his moments his offense is definitely

Ramping up you know coming back from injuries so you definitely see him starting to get a lot more points on so like what I saw from him especially from the defense you know that’s never an issue with Bal um like and I mentioned before ran Holmes 12 points 10 rebounds

Five for five from the field I mean he you know he um before I was kind of like what can you really expect from ran Holmes man and you know he he’s still a little limited offensively man but he knows you know he’s a vet he knows where

To put himself you know he puts him himself in the best position to score and I like that about him man he’s got the instincts in the paint man so he definitely has been wrapping up his play of lately um Cory kissper 11 points uh shooting three for7 from the field one

For five from three so I like what I saw I mean even Anthony Gil got a basket I mean he’s he’s a part-time coach still got got a basket so I mean everybody scored man I mean you know I like what I saw from this

Team tonight man you know it was it good team Victory and I get it some people like man y’all are Mighty excited for team do win 10 games but I mean you like you do like to see victories like this you like to see games where they play as

A team man and that’s all about the culture man you know like you said you know key if he made those adjustments so this is what you want to see from this team you know we get it 10- win team right now and obviously we’re slated for

A lot pick but the culture is about playing the right way and they they play the right way tonight man so I’m not even upset now I guess if we’re going to look at the negatives and there’s not many to look at Ty Jones has slowed out

In bitt he I mean you know he was that guy you can kind of pencil in to be a 10 11 assist plus guy he’s kind of slowed down a little bit um in the fourth quarter they rolled the hot hands they rolled the hot lineup you know know he

Was absent in his fourth quarter and I gotta say I agree with the move you know the nothing against ties but you know him and P just oil and water man defensively and you know Brian ke trying to find the best combination to get the

Best out of both of them man and usually both of them together is just not a good uh defensive back court it is what it is um Johnny you know I think we all just kind of used to it at this point seven minutes uh 0 for one missing layup but

Two rebounds and uh one block so the defense was there but it uh you know Johnny is what he is at his point and I just I’m not just gonna Hardo it anymore man it just it is what it is so overall great great team Victory and you know

I’m proud to see victories like this man like I said you know we’re not very good but we’re playing the right way and you know the judgments made by Brian Keef is what you want to see from Brian Keef you know because that had a lot to do with

The win too you know Kyle kma that leader man you know you know I I’ve been hard on him but you know we were both big fans of him and you know he’s doing everything we wanted him to do you know since not being moved at the that line

You know our consistency was you know if he’s going to be here which we know he’s that leader and um you know definitely better shot selection and he did that and if you’re going to drive you know don’t be too you know learn to you know

Knock it out and hit Shooters and he’s doing he’s doing all the right things so I have no negative to say about Kyle kman man he had he was a big reason why we won tonight same thing with Jordan P very hard on him um you know obviously

His shot wouldn’t drop him but he found other ways this man his passes were money I mean I mean he was money tonight that Vision man and of course Denny attack attack attack I mean getting in there getting boards the passing I mean you know it’s just

Beautiful to see these guys man you know they played well together as a team tonight and you got to celebrate I get a 10 wins breaking a streak man but you know it’s beautiful man basketball is a beautiful sport when it’s played as a team man and they look like a really

Good team T night e so I’m not even mad I’m pretty happy tonight definitely ran homes was a plus 23 KZ was a plus 21 Denny plus N9 Cory kper was a plus 19 and was a plus eight those were the guys that closed out the game so we’ll see

See excuse me see see if they keep that lineup going and I love that Brian Keef made ajustments because you know West is a guy West un West unel Jr was a guy that didn’t like to change lineups and uh Brian Keefe has come in he’s already

Transition Jordan P to the bench or coming off the bench yeah and then now he’s switched up the lineup the closing lineup with having tus out you know and there may be some nights where tus has to close you know so it doesn’t mean the

Tus has to be on the bench for the rest of the season when the game was there’s only 20 games left but um I mean he made an adjustment at it work you know the smaller back court with p and tus Jones defensively it’s just been a Turn Style

It’s been a cone style defense and um shout out to Keith for making the adjustment I mean once again like I said it’s the Hornets but still at least he was able to make an adjustment and change it up so shout out to Chief Keef for that absolutely definitely shout out

To coach Keith man because you know he rode the hot hand so I’m not even mad that you know T can’t play um but the thing is you know he made the right move tonight so I’m not even mad you know again beautiful team Victory so we’re

Going to get into comments we gonna celebrate a little bit we’re gonna call it a night because it is Friday night y’all so I know everybody trying to pop bottles and enjoy you Friday night so before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by eBay Motors so our

Anderson somebody I just picked up uh with KL Anthony Town’s future uncertain because of surgery and will see a larger role and will likely start now so just beware that the Wolves play two games only next week if you pick up Kyle Anderson but you know he’s got probably

Got the slowest game in the league man but Kyle Anderson can provide you points off the bench and rebound so um I just picked him up and again you know definitely Larry he they’re only playing two games next week so you know if you’re looking for um a scoring boost

And rebounds might one look elsewhere because Kelly alen is another person who is definitely a w um waiver wire ad but I’m looking at Kyle Anderson man because he’s look to have a bigger piece of the offense again because Carl Anthony towns is out right now due to surgery so Jos

To watch in a while hope we win I mean that must have been an early comic because he updated it update we won so right yeah so before I Brandon myself we got on I was like over under 50 people in the live chat so we did hit

The over guys uh I put it at 50 and we did hit the open for tonight on a Friday night so it’s good to see wizards get a win they break the 16 game uh losing streak the whole month of February they lost so it’s a new month new day and uh

You know we’ll see if they can continue I’m not going to say keep it up too much because I know we do want to get the best pick in the draft Yeah but it is good to see some some building blocks and some stepping stones there especially when you’re um younger guys

Are playing well or guys that you’re you’re um trying to build around like Denny played well Jordan P who’s had a rough year he’s starting to um put some really really good games together and be more consistent way more consistent than what he was before the allstar break for

Sure and then kozma playing well to with 28 points for Sean Holmes just traded for him he’s playing good ball uh so Cory kissper is playing well so uh just a lot of positive things tonight for sure breaking that streak um you know even if you are rebuilding and you’re

Trying to get the best draft pick you know you do want to get a couple wins here and there just to build upon um and build a culture like you said Brandon absolutely man absolutely uh this is from no brecks new uh definitely check out his podcast definitely definitely

Recommend it shout out to him um he says if we did win tonight we were going to break the choice losing streak Denny has just really impressed me man I think he’s impressing everybody at this point man I mean Denny has really set his game up offensively um he is definitely

Broken out this year offensively and it is lovely to see because I mean defensively man he made some I mean I’m trying to think who he blocked in the first half man but he had a nice block from behind man uh man who was he do you

Remember was it miles Bridges or was it Nick Richards I can’t remember but he had a sweet Block in the first half man I mean you know he has just it’s been lovely seeing him develop man you know and it’s just yeah I I’ve been very impressed with IND this year man very

Very impressed yeah I’m happy to see him improve man you know every year like he has he has to do this and he’s improving on a lot of things um finishing around the rims making his layups starting to dunk the ball now and finish through contact play with a lot of physicality

Defensively he’s always been a good Defender but offensively his game has certainly progressed shooting the ball better as well from the three-point line I mean just all around he’s gotten better it’s good to see a wizard player get another contract get a second contract first of all yeah and just

Improve you know and develop uh here in DC you just don’t see that a lot yeah I totally agree man totally agree let’s see uh Yanni halevi says in the fourth quarter Denny took over that was the key is that simple hand the keys over to my boy um I made a comment

Before that in in the absence you know If eventually Kyle kin is gonna get moved I agree with that you know with his vision and I think the offense does flow nicely through Denny as a secondary ball handler outside of tus Jones obviously um so what do you think about

It uh yeah fourth quarter he definitely took over uh it wasn’t just him though kozz kzz was getting to the basket too and then Jordan P was just unselfish he played unselfish basketball I mean he didn’t you know maybe early in the year he doesn’t make that pass to rwn Holmes

You know now he’s diamond and dishing and you know he he’s he’s capable of doing that we know he’s a good passer and that’s just the talent that we want to see from him consistently he’s starting to do that um so I was I was very happy with his play Denny is just

He was just a menace he was uh he was just playing like a bulldog out there he’s putting his head down getting to the basket Relentless you know you’re 69ine like that and you know you’re strong like playing strong like that uh why not go to the basket every time

Until they stop and that’s what Den he did so we want to see more of that for sure absolutely I think the biggest thing to really talk about when it comes to Jordan P since he’s been reverted back to the bench his six man is he’s

Starting to buy in you know what I mean like you see he’s starting to buy in what they’re trying to do here as far as him not only trying to be that score but a facilitator you know passing and all that you know once he becomes that facilitator you’re seeing a whole new

Player drone p man he’s starting to buying what they’re trying to do here and that and that is good news because you know look if if indeed is not a future piece his value is going up I mean teams are noticing right now that he is cooking like an air fryer as the

Six man excuse me so I mean if he stays I mean you’re starting to see the potential coming over from Golden State man so I love what I see from geord bu man because we were very very hard on that man this year so you know I

Definitely like what I see from him right now because he’s definitely stepping up I see big simple said or big simple 422 says we got a dub absolutely man there only 10 man but look we will take it say what’s up addin Scott what’s good with you man what’s up big simple

What’s up man um yeah donon Daniel says the defense finally won a game in the fourth quarter lead 44 points uh yeah they got stops in that fourth quarter they got some big stops in that fourth quarter of course mil miles Bridges went crazy at

30 32 points um but other guys you know they were able to step up and defend down stretch when they really needed stops and they were rebounding the ball that’s the biggest part of it’s rebound the ball we struggle to get boards uh a lot of the game and Nick Richard still

Had a double double A lot of times when we play the Hornets we would get stops but Mark Williams would get the rebound you know the game he had 20 points and 20 boards we were getting stops but he was getting a bunch of offensive rebounds we just couldn’t get the we

Just couldn’t finish off the play and uh that was a big thing that we did tonight you know ran Holmes with how many boards did he have tonight he had 11 boards Denny had 14 boards Koz had eight boards so it was a group effort man we outrebounded the horn tonight that’s

Something that we usually don’t do at all uh so I mean that that was just a big part of the win right there and then uh assists you look at assist as well we um we have more assists than the than Hornets as well too so rebounding the

Ball and then just moving the ball absolutely absolutely man beautiful ball movement man that was key tonight uh we got a a question night shook Biz one says B Scott you getting that number eight Jersey man you know I might have to man I might have to M fact that’s a

Question for everybody tonight man what what color should I get man should I should I wait till next year and see what the city Edition is next year or should I grab one this year man because I think I might have to add Denny to the closet man because Denny Denny is

Definitely impressed me this year let’s see over and under 16 victories for the Wizards this unknownism I don’t know man what you think I’m take so because they played 63 games so far so there’s 19 games left yeah yeah so they would have to go

So hold on they have so there’s 19 games left they they have to win six more games so they would go six and 13 which is actually kind of doable but I gotta look at the schedule um schedule I mean they play the Heat that’s a loss I mean I’m not

Going to go through the schedule right now but the Grizzlies that’s a possible possible win that’s in Memphis but yeah looking at the schedule I don’t see six wins I don’t they play the Pistons at home Friday uh March 29th that’s the only winnable game I see on the schedule

Other than that yeah it’s a loss and and the Blazers on uh April 5th yeah those are the only two games I can look at and be like okay they got a they got a puncher chance and winning so that’s two wins at at the maximum yeah I’m G take it under man

Like you know I’m definitely takeing under you know it is what it is man let’s go ahead and celebrate nightm because you know um oh oh here we go should B one said I put better OD on Ed losing his cough I didn’t cough at all today man I didn’t cough I went

Coughless I went cough man the coughin streak was broken also man look we’re breaking streaks tonight y’all yes sir you already know we gotta pop a bottle for sure um there’s some other good comments here we might get to them in in another episode oh yeah good is back I know

Um good in his back because a lot of people were speculating that he was let go or whatever you know so uh he he is still with the organization he’s still with my M sports but um yeah I wasn’t trying to read too much into that man

You know I you know I didn’t know I figured it was probably you know family related so yeah and then this comment right here poops says been saying this since day one TI don’t sh be closing our games is a big defensive liability p and TI at

The same time FL is minus 100 it’s kind of like the whole thing with Monte Morris closing games last year you know dong Wright was kind of like the better option well not kind of but he was the better option defensively for sure and uh some nights it was like man we should

We should you know put thean in there to finish the game because Mont is just too small and uh it’s kind of the same thing with tus out there defensively it’s just it’s just uh it just it hurts the Wizards in in the long run especially in

The fourth quarter closing out the games and I think that lineup with Corey Jordan uh Denny and uh kzz and ran or baggley when Bagley comes back I think that’s a good lineup yeah same here man they they that lineup was money I’m trying to tell you man yeah I I you know

When it comes to yeah I was about to bring that up Sheldon T said hey cough dropped alliver oh all something else but the Johnny Davis question we’ll probably get to that another time we’ll probably get to that another time yeah that’s oh Johnny man so we’ll go ahead and roll tonight man

Um before we roll you got anything else you want to cover man no that’s it just enjoy the win don’t get a lot of them so let’s enjoy this this might be the last one of the season oh yeah definitely enjoy man like I said we may got a few

Left in US man but that’s that’s about it for this season man but hey man appreciate you guys rocking with us tonight definitely enjoy your Friday night you know um 10 wins man but we’ll definitely take it we beating that streak so you know definitely got other

Things to look forward to Breaking that streak man so definitely again appreciate you guys rocking with us tonight hope everybody has a blessed weekend everybody Dr response be be safe and we will see you guys Sunday night so Hail to the Wizards and peace everybody have a good weekend bye
