  1. ElitePancakeMaster

    i have never seen a more blatant tanking effort from the opposing team and we still lost it

  2. Substantial-Lab-5647

    Was it just me, or was gafford fouled on the put back?

  5. ballaedd24

    Hornets are down so many players. They should NOT have lost that game.

    KP should’ve had the ball in the final two possessions, not BB3

  7. DanielThePlainGuy

    Embarrassing, no other words. Just embarrassing.

  9. Andygoat3

    How is it that Beal plays amazing every fourth quarter until the last 90 seconds every time

  10. Bjd1207

    Why didn’t we call a timeout on that final possession?

  11. behlat

    Beal is so unclutch, that’s your 250 million dollar man.

  13. Vswerve27

    I guess we didn’t deserve to win after the first 3 quarters lol. Credit to WUJ for going to Gafford KP. Wouldn’t be surprised if Deni is benched next game also

  14. Quick_Work_263

    Is it still tanking if we’re trying to win?

  15. DrBeatusMeatus

    Gafford is starting to suck, tbh. Kevin Durant stole all his powers with that cross-over.

  16. Incompl

    Nice try with the comeback, but it’s embarrassing how outworked they were in the first half.

  17. DrBeatusMeatus

    Wasted 2 time outs for that????? Wes is absolute doodoo

  18. elonguido1

    It is hard to be a fan of this dumb ass franchise. Just once I want to watch a wizards basketball season without dumb iq players on the roster. I’ll be waiting at least 8 more years it seems.

  19. Ye_Biz

    I might have to take a break from this team, they playing this season like it’s a rollercoaster and not the fun kind. They’ll be playing like trash defensively one game, catch fire on offense another… is consistency too hard man

  20. Joshottas

    Beal literally turns into bel-air academy carlton banks with under 1:00 left

  22. Zebratreats

    Damn brad. That hurts. 3 possessions in a row that weren’t good enough to win after a major comeback. Hornets didn’t want to win that one and the wizards couldn’t take advantage

  23. Incompl

    I know a timeout is probably better typically, but we have terrible inbounding and set plays. Brad got a decent look too

  25. z3mcs

    Wanna hear a joke? What’s a Panda’s favorite food? Turnovers.

  26. LazyDocument4528

    So many things to say. The one positive thing is that I like the KP and Gafford lineup… like a lot. Until we trade Kuzma for John Collins, I say we keep running that lineup at the end

  27. lukebwalls

    Had 60% 3P shooters on the court, and still gave it to Brad to miss, as per usual in these situations. So frustrating

  28. TheLocoMofo

    Incredibly rough finish from Brad on those two TOs but whhhyyyyyy did we not use either of our two timeouts

  29. Udaman2198

    We shouldn’t have been down 20 in the first place, but how many times is Beal going to say “I need to be better about the turnovers at the end of the game.” If we traded for a PG that has a high assist-TO ratio, use him at the end of the game and don’t let Beal run point. Simple as that.

    Any opposing defense knows the ball is going to Beal, so when he gets dribble-happy, it’s not difficult to clamp on him and force a TO.

  30. Jyodon90

    Make no mistake this is the worst loss of WUJ career and this teams so far. Irregardless of a near comeback.

    Think about where they are in April. 8 seed AT BEST.
    Teams that are better:
    Celtics
    Bucks
    Nets
    Cavs
    Heat

    Teams that are probably (they are) better:
    76ers
    Hawks
    Pacers

    Teams that are equal or slightly worse:
    Bulls
    Knicks

    Also we know porzingus has history with injuries. Need to make it 5 more months of him being healthy to maintain 8 seed AT BEST.

    Russ+Beal+Rui was a playoff team as well for those with a foggy memory. Trade Kuzma for a real point guard and instantly this team is a hair better.

  31. jovihonorio

    these are *exactly* the types of games where you HAVE to turn the tables and secure the win… this is terrible. might take a while for our squad’s morale to fully recover

    I don’t see us close to being a playoff team as of this moment

  32. charade_you_are

    Oubre is a bad ass now and I like it.

  33. Truthful_Azn

    WUJ is useless, time to move on and get someone else to coach. I’m not sure how we’re going to be able to get rid of Beal.

  34. szadok

    I still remember the days when we were over .500 team… how do you spell that guy’s Victor wembanyama?

  35. eternal_student78

    Is it too much of a stretch to call him Bradley Bankman-Fried? He is almost that big of a fraud.

  36. nofuture_at_all

    I closed the game at the start of 4th quarter and buy food. Checked the game with 20 secs left and down 1. Beal would have made that kind of shot if it’s in the 3rd quarter. Also, did we have a timeout? Not that I trust us to made a play.
