    Whoever on the coaching staff said, “Maybe we pass the ball to Rui Hachimura and let him cook,” give them a raise.

    Whoever on the coaching staff said, “Maybe we run the Porzingis-Kuzma 2-man game multiple times in a row,” I hope you step in a puddle while wearing socks.

  2. Turbo2x

    Deni Avdija tonight: 2/12FG (16.7%) and 0/5 from 3.

    What the hell did he even work on this offseason besides his tan?

  3. MrBuckBuck

    That 19-0 gave us hope, but then Morant & Adams were okay to play again.

    P.S: The CPU coach decisions in 2K make more sense than WUJ.

  6. Substantial-Lab-5647

    Disgraceful 4th quarter coaching. That bench unit was fantastic, then kuz and KP ruined the momentum. Not to mention not putting in Rui.

  7. masonc1993

    That’s a coaches loss if I’ve ever seen one.

  8. armandsro1

    KP in a shooting slump. Let’s hope it’s just for one game. Feel bad for Rui. He really tried.

  9. MegaSupremeTaco

    Deni, Kuz, and even KP were so atrocious tonight. Cannot believe WUJ didn’t let the guys who got the lead and were cooking get a little breather and then come back in. A potential for a great win squandered.

  10. initialsori

    kuz (and kp) were just chucking up threes down the stretch and pretty much sealed the game. whole team 0-9 from three in the fourth. they’re just not a good shooting team so why take 40+

    WUJ made changes too late in the 4th. when you see the starters struggling down the stretch bring back in the players that made the run in the 3rd. I liked goodwin’s energy. definitely helped spark the comeback

  11. laflarehare

    That was some pretty laughable coaching there after your bench got you back in the game. Complete and utter trash

  12. Expensive_5963

    I watched the entire game and this lost is on WUJ. I seriously don’t understand why he takes out players when they’re hot. He did it with Deni before and now Rui.

  14. ned_yah

    entire team couldnt shoot but KP and Kuz really killed us by forcing their shots up instead of playing in the offense

  15. kamikazemelonman

    Under 20% from 3 again… we can’t win in modern nba while losing the 3pt line by 20+ every game

  16. yumomnom

    8-41 from 3 and only 10 free throw attempts. Try something else if the shot isn’t falling…

  18. pen-h3ad

    I like that KP can stretch the floor and shoot 3s but sometimes I think he relies a bit too much on it. I’d really like to see him go inside in a tight game late in the 4th quarter

  19. Ye_Biz

    Goodwin is a baller, but everyone besides him, Rui, and Gaff were rough this game. And WUJ taking out Rui to not even close made no sense, I get taking out Gaff for KP since he has some length to get the boards but Deni just didn’t have it this game

  20. The_BadJuju

    Kuz, KP and Deni were awful tonight. KP and Kuz kept shooting those idiotic threes at the end and it cost the game

  21. Hachimura08

    Great game from Rui! Sparked the bench and made the game exciting.
    Props to Goodwin he’s really a hustler love him.
    Gaff and Barton connection was great. Monte as well.
    Sucks that we lost but it’s a very typical Wizards way lol
    Also WUJ is a very stubborn one…

  22. OkGovernment5374

    All our players did their best, it’s just that WUJ is stupid.

  23. ThaTroubled1

    WUJ is just too nice. His demeanor isn’t suitable. This team needs someone to hold everyone accountable. To be fair, it doesn’t seem like the organization wants to hire anyone like that. How do you have all these big men and jack up all these 3s?

  24. ajelen21

    The only coach who doesn’t bring anything to the team

  25. pen-h3ad

    Honestly we had no business being within 6 with how the game went so I’ll take it. This game was an extremely mixed bag. Glad they fought back and made it close instead of just giving up like last game, but this game was winnable in the end so it’s still a bit disappointing

    Hope Jordan Goodwin can keep that play up t

  26. Coast_watcher

    What’s this lady going on about in the post game show. Oh, we made it tough for Ja Morant tonight (yay). Moral victories are no victories at all.

  27. ProCommentBtw

    Standard game for WUJ and his coaching abilities tbh.
    The bench takes the lead after crawling back from a 20+ point deficit. KP and Kuz are both struggling offensively this game, WUJ decides to take out our best shooter on the floor Rui for our worst shooter, Deni, increasing the offensive burden on KP & Kuz.
    Wizards proceed to fail to score any points from 89-90 to 89-97

    Funny thing is WUJ probably decided he had a better chance of Deni stopping Ja Morant than we did scoring the ball. How does one get a NBA coaching job thinking you can stop Ja Morant hahaha. You outscore the guy and hope he misses bruh
