Were on a eight game roow losing Street this was the Pistons first win in DC since 2014 as well um so a lot of bad things a lot of bad records or streaks were ended by the Washington Wizards Los to the Pistons at home now the only good

Streak of this weekend of course is the Cowboys getting blown out so comment about that yesterday didn’t get a chance to respond but that is always awesome but on the Wizards end uh rough loss of Detroit Pistons so what did you see that contributed to the Wizards loss tonight

Oh man it’s always fun watching the cowg girls lose man but um getting back to the The Wiz and the Pistons man where do I start with this one Lord have mercy I mean the first win in DC since 2014 wow I mean yeah let’s get into it

Um again same is isues different game same script trash defense terrible rebounding um we actually shot well from three but didn’t shoot enough um no passion no effort nobody cared you just lost to the worst team in the NBA by a large margin I mean we just lost to the

We matter of fact with their ball movement they they just showed that we are the worst defensive team in the NBA they cooked us the fluid ball movement is all it took little effort is all it took and we did nothing I mean um let’s get into uh statistics obviously um out

Rebounded 52 33 um they had 16 turnovers we only had eight we didn’t capitalize on that um looking at the starting five let’s we’ll start with Kyle kma real quick um obviously everybody wants to talk about him and Jordan p and I’m and I’m about to give Jordan P the a little

Bit of smoking a little bit so it’s hear me on out but you start with Kyle kman man um again what can he really say um he got 21 points but seven for 21 for the field three for nine from three now the numbers I do like from KY tonight

Eight rebounds four assists three steals two blocks very active but I mean he’s not a defensive stopper you know he he tries I’ll say this for Kyle kman he tries he tries he’s trying to be a leader he’s trying but it ain’t enough man it ain’t enough I mean this is just

We this is the worst defensive and rebounding team I’ve ever seen in DC ever and it’s not even close I mean looking at rest of starting five Ty Jones really good game obviously 22 points leading all wizard scores nine for 1 for the field though four for 10

For three um assist numbers seven decent uh Gaff I mean I look look I’m running out of reasons to to like support Gaff man like look at the numbers I mean how many times are we gonna give a 15 plus rebounds to one guy I mean durren had

What look look at his stats man 19 rebounds come on man come on man 19 rebounds Mark Williams had 20 I mean come on man man like it’s not all all on Gaff but can somebody care anybody care anybody be I mean come on man I it’s just 19 rebounds let’s just say

Something to you you gave up 19 rebounds to the to Durant on the Pistons at home I mean it it’s just yeah it’s hard it’s hard man it’s hard to even fallowing that man uh Denny underwhelming 12 points uh he did shoot four for8 from the field 50% but um two rebounds I’m

Looking for better numbers there four assists definitely looking for better numbers two blocks I’ll take that but Jordan P 16 points obviously you know we’re looking for a lot more but 16 or six for 14 for the field um and outside of 16 points contributed two assist

That’s about it I mean he got a turn over um and then but so looking at the stting five man abysmal abysmal to the Detroit Pistons Kyle man like I said I I like kman man he has been the leader he has been probably the most consistent

Guy on the team but the P can’t call black like come on man like really don’t be that team we are that team we just lost to the worst team in the NBA but and it wasn’t even close like they smoked us I mean on on the defensive end

They just they showed how bad we really are man I mean so from a players perspective e there’s nothing much to say we look like crap I mean we talk all that junk to the Detroit Pistons and they came in DC and they slapped us around and left and said don’t be that

Team so I mean I guess to try to look at some positive man um Patrick Balwin Jr definitely a guy that needs more minutes after the deadline I mean he we we know that when his shooting Strokes on he can shoot and he looked good tonight I like what I see

From uh or saw from Patrick Balwin Jr tonight and uh look at that few uh shamet definitely boosted his trade value he has definitely been looking good lately I’m definitely getting healthy come back from that injury man but even at the second unit man bow terrible game one for four two points um

D Wright Five Points four assists that’s about it kissper 15 minutes eight points I mean Bon Jr looked good three for three overall Gil he’s pretty much a coach at this point so I mean that’s it man I mean that’s it I mean this is just a terrible terrible showing

Man so I mean I don’t really have anything positive to say about this game there was no effort at all no effort at all and then you know people want to talk about oh well you know um this is all part of a rebuild okay fair enough

All right I want you to go to a construction site take a Breck and put it in the middle of the dirt and and wait for it to build itself no you have to build it’s called a rebuild it’s called building again you have to build

On top of that it starts with a culture you’re you’re in a transitional year going to your first year you need to build a culture what is culture playing hard they’re not playing hard there’s no culture the defense is trash the rebuilding is trash nobody cares Jordan

P’s always in the center some dag on controversy like every time somebody’s mad on the court who are they yelling at it’s Jordan P what’s the denominator here look bring him in the office man Sly look you want you want to go somewhere else boost your own value

We’ll help you out because clearly you don’t want be here I mean by now he knows this ain’t his team by now he knows what the deal is man so this this whole attitude you know thinking this Golden State being Hollywood you know and here’s a thing ye and I’m about to

Pass it over man because I know I’m ranting here man no you’re good he he’s been playing better he’s actually been locked in but then you see stuff like this it’s like people are yelling at you for a reason because you might as well stay in the locker room on defense he’s

Not existent nobody defends on his team outside of Denny bow and Delon wght that’s it everybody else can just might as well just stand there and watch what’s going on that the the veterans have checked out the young guys are ready to get more playing minutes the

Deadline cannot get here fast enough man because I’m ready for rebuild Lord Hammer I’m ready to see what we can do with this young talent but the that’s are ready to go I’m telling right now K kman mentally he’s ready to go he’s ready to get up out of DC every veteran

Team is ready to go and you know what looking at coaching I I’ve had enough I’m tired of it you know have you gave this man a fourthe option how the defense is not existent there’s no defensive system there’s no philosophy nothing they the defense is trash trash

You got humbled at home by the worst team in the NBA without their star point guard and bonovich I mean we played a g-league team and got smoked at cat one man I mean what I mean it’s just I’m over it man like this is a terrible team we

Can’t rebound we can’t defend and it’s crazy considering you know Wes’s got a defensive system what system is that may I ask because I ain’t seen any defense in three years I haven’t seen any adjustments I don’t see any rah rah I don’t see any effort no heart no nothing

No dog nobody cares look February cannot get here fast enough man and so we can truly rebuild and build his culture up man but look at the end of the year I don’t care about no dag on fourth year option look at head coach go you need to

Take a look head coach and see if we can get an upgrade because he ain’t it I like West but this ain’t this ain’t a liking contest this is a performance-based industry it ain’t happening so at the end of the year n need to evaluate head coach I don’t know

If you need to promote within the staff or go out and get a guy man but I’ve seen enough so that’s where I’m at e terrible showing terrible showing man no effort and I get it it’s a rebuild but you have to play hard a rebuild is not

Just standing Pat getting your butt whoop especially by the worst team in the NBA I mean the chances are they gonna get the number one pick because they so dag on bad they’re setting records for being bad and but yeah no no you want to get right go to DC go to to

DC they’ll set you up for Success because every time somebody has an off year or off performance they go to DC man they look like the next coming of an Allstar so I mean it’s just I’m done I’m so done let’s get to the deadline and then we can really start this rebuild

Off right man and my bad I took up the time man but I just it really gets to me man when you don’t care especially when people are trying to just get groceries man and spending money come out and see your butt and you can’t even play like

You want to be here I mean I would I would trade situations in a minute man come on now I’ll care so that’s what I’m at e right no no you’re cooking right now you’re cooking man I I it’s hard for me to even follow up honestly because

You were just cooking you were preaching MLK Day for sure that was awesome on MLK Day just what we needed to hear man for sure and it’s unfortunately play like that on MLK day and in front of um Miss Ali who started the Chili Bowl who

Started you know was a big part of the the chili vins Chili Bowl uh and getting that going so you know it’s just a disrespectful performance at home disappointing like you said getting out rebounded by Duran alone it felt like Alec Burks coming off the bench and

Putting up 34 Al like Burks H eight threes that’s inexcusable the defense is terrible um mattador defense conone defense Turn Style defense uh just awful but um we’re going to get some quick words here and then we’re going to talk a little bit more about the game um and then getting some comments

Is every time every time the Wizards play whatever big man they play against make sure you you um you you take a bet on him getting a double double or getting the over on the rebounds Jaylen Duren smash his rebounds uh tomorrow or on Wednesday I’m sorry Thursday we play the Knicks so

Hardenstein or Julius R really hardenstein I would take his rebounds or a double double or even go with Brunson get his points over he probably will get at least 30 points same thing with julus Randle julus Randle had 39 last time we played him and last time we played him

Denny said that you know he wasn’t that tough to guard and it’s the things yeah it’s so funny like the jokes make themselves with this team you know somebody just said I’m sorry I’m a little under the weather but Brando 72 says the Wizards are a jokeer franchise

Right now we kind are I’m not gonna say kind of we we are but we’re in a rebuilding phase but the jokes rank themselves like Kyle kman in a press conference said we don’t have the Personnel to guard then he says don’t be that team we end up being that team so

The jokes right themselves you know Jordan P um he’s cut down on the shots in a full moments throwing the ball at the backboard and and getting blocked on three-pointers but still defensively D long W gets into it with him now Kyle kma gets into gets into it with Jordan

PA so there’s some sort of Disconnect there Jordan has he played better yes he has but there’s still some you know mental mistakes that he makes out there and just defensive effort that you know he definitely show some more effort there’s just some miscommunication between him some of the guys on the team

For sure um but he’s trying he’s he’s getting better but a lot of these guys yeah they’re not going to be here P past February 8 they’re just not and it’s time and I’m really excited to see what they get in return for some of these

Guys if Michael uh if Will Dawkins and Michael Winger and Travis Lane were able to get back two seconds and two yeah Marvin Bagley and Isaiah L who has potential then imagine what they can do for kma what they can get back for kza potentially get back for Jordan P

Potentially get back for tyus Jones so there’s a lot of things that I think this front office can make something happen so I’m excited to see that we have some new uh a new front office innovated front office that’s my only hope with this team right now and that

Blow develops and Danny gets better but as far as this game just to finish up on this game uh you already said a lot of points like they clearly got outrebounded which is just terrible just out hustled out physical out toughed um kma gets ejected at the end of the game

Yeah uh they couldn’t guard Jay Navy they couldn’t guard him at all they couldn’t stop him from start to finish they couldn’t stop Burks uh and some of the stats are are crazy too because they shot well from the three-point line they shot 46% they shot 10 for 11 from the

Free throw line and uh they didn’t they barely turned the ball over like we only had the Wizards only had eight turnovers the the Pistons had 16 and they they they gave up 60 points in the paint and they got outrebound 52 to 30 three so

They got dominated all in all facets of the game just all physical parts of the game they just got dominated and a lot of it’s on coaching to West if you allow somebody Alec Burks to shoot knock down eight threes you got to make adjustments and he’s not out he’s not making any

Defensive adjustments you got a lot you gota either face guard I don’t care if it’s box to one you like Nick nurse did in the finals I don’t really care you gotta find a way to get stops yeah especially when a guys that hot like that in your own house 34 points that’s

Inusual Alec Burks coming off the bench that’s just inexcusable it really is and stuff like that when you let when you allow stuff that like that to happen then of course you’re going to be 7 and 33 so but I understand it’s a rebuild they’re they’re trying to do this on

Purpose they’re trying to lose games they want to get the first piek of the draft they want to get draft Capital but at the same time you want to be competitive and play with heart and have some pride and at least beat some of the teams that you that you really should

Beat so um definitely a disappointing loss tonight at home but um yeah uh kman getting ejected he was G Ivy couldn’t really stop him got into it with Isaiah Stewart a little bit got into it with Jordan p a little bit as well um so yeah

I mean it just just just a rough game all around for the guys tyus Jones I thought he played pretty well 22 points tonight and uh Bobby Mark said his trade value is really good so that’s that’s good to hear so I do think they’re gonna get something back for something

Valuable back for tus Jones if uh Will Dawkins can work something out the only bright spot tonight I guess like like you said Pat Balwin Jr he had all threes tonight three for three for three-point line but the question mark for him is is can he do anything else and L sh shot

The ball well tonight too it’s like if if the three-point shot is not falling for Ballwin what else is he doing is he gonna rebound is he gonna defend can he pass can he put the ball on the floor kind of like Berton I’m not gonna

Compare to Bon but it’s like you know when you’re not hitting threes what else are you doing so but I’m happy that Paul bat ball went played well but that’s just a question mark for him he is a three-point specialist Johnny Davis got one minute tonight I guess that was kind

Of late in the garbage time and then um hamdu G Galo got one minute tonight so hamdu he he should play a little bit more honestly and uh I’m I’m I’m intrigued to see what baggley does and then gaffer got injured he got hit in

The head so we’ll see if he plays next game but yeah I mean every time he goes up against another big that’s stronger than him or plays with physicality it’s it’s usually 20 and 20 or 25 and 15 boards 25 and 18 boards or a beig and 50 60 40 point

And that’s just kind of what you expect and like I said we’re both fans of Gafford but when you just have him out there it’s going to be a long night and the other teams big is gonna have Allstar career night yeah and it’s not what you want to

See it’s not even good for his development as far as a player like you said you know and we both agree on this man that he struggles when he goes against more athletic stronger bigs but let’s be real that’s 98% in the NBA like

It’s 98% of the league like I like G but he is a backup he’s not a starter he’s a backup I mean he’s he’s not he’s not it and that’s what I’m saying rebuild is that you have to build on top of what a foundation is man you know instead of

Just throwing a brick in the middle of yard and say oh the house just gonna build itself no it’s not going to build itself you have to instill the culture that’s the first thing you do instilling culture a culture of winning a culture of playing hard playing to win you know

Regardless if you win or not playing to win is a duh because of what you’re trying to do you’re trying to develop young Talent you’re trying to give them good Tendencies good habits and we’re not doing that you know the coaching has to be changed I mean because you see too

Many issues you see so much bad body language on the court that under certain coaches would not have happened you know and it’s not just P you obviously P’s has so many issues here not just I mean you look at this or Denny Denny is arguing man stop arguing get down to

Court that’s another issue I got no stop arguing get down the court because while you’re down there arguing it’s four against five and transition and you wonder why we’re trash and transition because he always has one guy at the end of the Court yelling I mean it’s it’s so

Much bad body language with this with this coaching stff I’m not gonna say the staff is that West Suns Jr has to stamp his foot down and take control of the locker room and stop letting the players take control of the locker room for you because you know yeah it’s nice to have

Koz as a leader but no the first voice in the room needs to be the head coach three years e three years that defense has not gotten better the players are not responding how many years we going to have issues with people arguing you’re the coach sh that up that’s

Embarrassing you know look you best believe Emma K day the owner was out there the whole front office was out there anybody who’s a who’s who within this organization was out there today and they watch steart star player if you call him that argue with Jordan P the

Key acquisition of the offseason so it’s just it’s he needs to end trade everybody who has that has value and let’s rebuild this team enough’s enough man because the vest don’t want to be here and then it’s fine cool go find the Championships elsewhere but it’s time to

Give a lot of these young guys playing minutes man you know Patrick B Jun I’m with you if I mean he can shoot but that’s about it and when you start comparing Davisburg thas Lord have mercy that really hurts your heart man because that that dude man lord it’s not get on

Davb times but I I like I said I’m ready for rebuild I’m ready to start over I’m I’m all in I got my seat belt on I’m ready to roll the biggest thing is culture man playing hard they’re not playing hard they’re they’re they checked out and like I said I try to

Look at things for different lenses right people right now are hurting man like to be able to spend gas the ticket the dag on high price dag on food the parking outside of the Arena I mean there’s so much money you put down for a

NBA ticket man and for you to just sit there and say oh I’m just not gonna try so why should we try it why should I drive my dag on but an hour 40 minutes to go to Capital One if you’re not even going to play hard man like that’s a

Slap in the face really is because people out here hurting and you’re not g to try I I wish I could be a millionaire and not try I’m just saying I wish I I wish I could had that problem I’m just being 100 with it man it’s it’s really

Difficult because a lot of us are ready for rebuild we’re ready to see the next era in Wizard’s basketball we’ve got the front office you know I I have nothing against the front office own [ __ ] they’re doing all the right things at this point it’s the players you don’t

Care to find we can we can go ahead and help you out with that send them on their way and let’s let’s do the youth movement and that’s where I’m at I’ve seen enough I I’m I’m ready for the trade deadline and that’s what I’m looking forward to to be a totally 100

With the Eve so I’m done man right I mean yeah they they clearly checked out they’re ready to move on they’re ready to go to Cancun they’re ready to on vacation um we know where their heads are out where their heads are at and it’s it’s weird because they

Just had a good game against the Atlanta Hawks so it’s like they got a good game to build off Danny almost had a triple double kuzma play Locked In he had 25 29 Points something like that and then uh P had a good game just the whole team

Overall had had a good game everybody played well so but them to come out here and just play like that was you know it’s just that’s just how they’ve been this year and they’re they’re seven and 33 for a reason seven and 32 and they probably will be 7:33 7 and 33 on

Thursday so you know we’ll just get that out the way but yeah they they they they just they have to get a top top two pick really top three pick and they gotta they got to hit a home run in this drift yeah I think that these next two drafts

Are very pivotal man especially for this team man this there there’s Talent there and there’s talent that in this year’s draft that you can develop in his Cooper flag man that’s all I got to say you know so we there there’s potential for drafts coming up I think that there’s

Definitely a light at the end of the tunnel the front office is solid man but we just gotta get to the deadline because you’re gonna see just what the mo is going to the deadline you’re gonna see games like this they have checked out so um we’re going to get into

Comments man before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by Bas medical I know we come to sports to escape from some of the crazy realities of real life except for if you’re a Wizards fan but can we talk just for a minute about prepar for real life Accord to FDA phies

Are running out of antibiotics like andox ayin right in the middle of the worst flu season in over a decade is very scary especially if you’re a parent I can’t imagine a more helpless feeling than having one of my children my wife a friend of mine a family member period

Getting sick while supply chain issue kept them from life saving medication that they needed so thankfully we’ll be okay because of Jay medical the Jay Cas is a pack of five different antibiotics to treat a long list of bacterial Ines including UTI respiratory infections skin infections among a lot of others

This stuff can happen to any of us I’m trying to tell you so all you have to do is visit JM medical.com and complete your physician encounter it’ll be reviewed by board certified physician and your medications will be dispensed by licensed pharmacy at a fraction of

The regular cost which is key it’s never been more important to be prepared than today so all you got to do guys is go to jal.com and use promo code locked on to get $20 off your first purchase all right yes sir yeah we’ll probably do two or three excuse me guys

We’ll probably do five um I’m not gonna sit up here and uh you know gonna read the comments tomorrow because I’m not gonna jinx it tomorrow we should be having a guest on from locked on Pistons uh coill from The Lone Pistons just to do a recap of the trade just kind of

Talk about what we’re getting in Marvel bagy or what you expect how his time in Detroit was same thing with Isaiah livers and then he’ll of course probably he’ll probably ask us about Gallow and mcalla he may not he may not because he probably doesn’t think they’re gonna get

Much from them anyway so he may not even ask us about him but we’re gonna ask him about the guys that we got just so we can get some insight about you know what we’re gonna get or expectations yeah he’s like Gallow that’s a dude with the

The walker with the tennis balls right I said Gallow and SCA oh yeah yeah um but we’ll start off with uh well Edward more we don’t there’s not much to say that one but uh he says lost the worst team in NBA history at least we are one loss closer

To that first piit yeah um that’s what we’re trying to do right now we’re battling with the Pistons for the first week of the draft yeah I’m just looking at some of the standings here the lottery where we stand my phone is loading I’m pretty sure

The yeah it’s it’s between us the Spurs and the Pistons and the Charlotte Hornets they’re 8 and 29 we’re 7- 32 we’re tied with the with the Spurs at seven and 32 and then Detroit’s 4 and 32 so there is some excuse me competition Portland’s 10 and 29 so there is

Competition for that first pick of the draft for sure um it’s going to be tough so with our luck hopefully we don’t end up with the ninth pick I don’t want to jinx it but you know that’s what we gotten in the past past the nth we got

The nth pick twice and then the 10th pick but um and then I want to say we got what like seventh or eighth with bow but yeah there there’s some competition for that first week of the draft there’s definitely some competition oh yeah yeah that’s the only competition we

Rolling with man I mean for that first pick um I don’t I don’t see us getting that a higher pick like we usually do man there’s a lot of talent this draft I know I know a lot of people are down on the draft but I think there’s a lot of

Potential as far as players who you can develop in his draft man I think that with the top five you can’t lose I obviously a lot of us went alexar I think that a lot of us think that Center needs to be the next position to be the

Emphasis on the team and I agree with that that a point guard but I mean between him Ron Holland I mean the list goes on billis I mean Dylan ham and ky’s looking good lot of talent man so I definitely think that we’re gonna do

Well in the draft let’s see uh the TRU said kman was about to fight JP on the court and we get blown out by the Pistons worst game of the season I mean it’s not a good look I mean like I said before E I mean MLK Day anybody who’s relevant in his

Organization was there today and you saw kma fighting again with Jordan p and and that’s why if you notice man it was such a change when at the beginning when we first acquired Jordan P A lot of people were excited to say you know to the point where they’re calling him maybe

The next great player to play for the Wizards in the lines of Gilden as John Wall and then what was it like 20 games later look we don’t view him as a long-term asset as far as being here man we’re ready to move on it tells you a

Lot about his attitude he’s a young guy man you know I I’m blessed enough to be able to interview him um young guy man young guy lot of fire but here’s the thing man this ain’t Golden State bro like you know you you this is DC and we

May be trash but you’re trying to build something here and that it comes with playing hard you checked out what’s that what’s that telling everybody else around the league about you Jordan paol when you checked out on a team that’s hot garbage like I mean why would I

Bring you to my organization to content for Championship if you checked out on that team I mean do us a favor do yourself a favor get your value up and then boom we will get you that ticket of dollars that’s it yeah 100% um yeah Jordan P I think I

Think like like you said I think he’s a a good guy you got to talk to him in person uh I think he means well all that so and I don’t know what they’re arguing about you know we don’t know word for word what they’re saying but this is the

Third guy to argue with Jordan p in during the game so you know we’ve seen some of the stuff on the sideline where you know he wasn’t looking looking at the clipboard and he’s changed since then for sure he makes he makes sure that he’s locked into the clipboard and

Whatever West junr it’s starty to tell him um but yeah it’s it’s definitely something to keep an eye on why is why are three players going back and forth with Jordan pool right now you know this is the third time and we haven’t even got to the allstar break yet or to the

The NBA trade down yet so uh it certainly is interesting kozma this time now kozma and somebody 757 finest is saying kozma argu with p as if he didn’t go s for 21 is so hypocritical not a true leader and the media is going to bring up his comments about his earlier

This year yeah as they should as they should talk about kma’s comments we talked about it already a lot you know where he said don’t be that team but um yeah kozma yeah sometimes he he you know he’s trying to be a leader he’s trying but you know he

Got two tax got thrown on the game so this team we just have to weather the storm with this team this year get through this team get through the season and then just you know the get to the trade deadline see how much we can get

Out of bow this first year develop him as much as we can then he’s been improving and then look forward to the draft we just got to get through this season honestly that that’s what we got to do and and see what we can get back

For some guys some guys value has has gone up I think tyus Jones I think he’s worked his value up where I think you could possibly possibly get a late first at best you can get a good player in return a couple picks um and then kozma

I think you can get a first and then Jordan P I’m just not too sure but I think I think Will Dawkins definitely will work as magic to get some type of assets back for these guys yeah I I agree man um if you look at the move for

Bagley how you were able to get two second round picks for guys who quite frankly we were going to buy out tells you that the light is definitely the end of the tunnel man this front office going to build his team you know there’s a lot of talent in the next three drafts

Lot of talent man so we going to be all right man it’s just getting to that point you know I’m I’m done with the veteran part of this season I’m done you know as far as the development phase I’m looking forward to second half of the year I’m looking forward to it man

Because I really want to see how a lot of these young guys play with extended minutes I’m excited to see Denny and blown the same lineup um I’m excited for this rebuild it’s just it’s tough watching guys not care you know what I mean and it’s just it’s a culture thing

And yeah but the light is definitely at the end of the tunnel you know but yeah I mean him arguing with P I mean it’s not you can’t really say too much when you’re so hesitant on that jump shot and you’re shooting seven for 21 like sometimes it just feels like cou shuts

Down driving the lane and attacking the basket and just relies so much on that jumper and it hurts him and it hurts the team so I think we all know why they’re yelling at Jordan p i mean defensively I mean we’re terrible defense and he’s putting no effort to defense so it’s

Pissing people off so I mean you know but yeah I ready for some changes man yeah and what I will say because you talked about how people thought he was going to be Cornerstone or a franchise player or an Allstar and you know Kevin Garnett came out and said that he

Thought he was gonna be James Harden you know so I mean that’s how far we’ve come but Jordan pz played better he was getting booed in the beginning of the year he’s getting booed off the court um no not off the court but he was just

Getting booed by Wizards fans at home it was that bad point but he he has improved he has improved defensively he he’s he’s a cone in a Turn Style so we we just you know he just he has to put more effort on the defensive end yeah but you know like I said

Changes are coming but I I remain optimistic I do I think that we we’re definitely headed towards rebuilding this team man just getting to that trade deadline and like I said you know for Gallow and muscala I did not think we were be able to get much you know I

Thought they were definitely buy out candidates they got a couple second round picks and two very intriguing young players I mean Marvin bag I get a lot of people are are loan him uh Sacramento Detroit but let’s be real he can score in the paint he can rebound we

Definitely need that we need both of that and livers man keep an eye out for livers like I said um you know we extend that qualifying offer he becomes a rested free agent we can keep we can keep him around and we could probably do

It on the cheat he’s a guy who can shoot he can play so you know I’m I’m I’m trig to see who we get back as far as assets and players in return but no this is going to be a really fun to watch Young

Team we’re not going to be very good but if you’re in the win it long term and you want to see these guys play hard which these young guys are doing you know you’re seeing Bal put a lot of effort in there so you know you’ve seen

The right things as far as the young guys on this team so we’ll see I think it’s gonna be a very exciting team to watch in the second half in my Opinion yeah um and then somebody from Israel says a great decision making by West uh cooling down your hottest player who scored your team’s first uh eight points so uh he’s T he’s talking about Denny Denny did have a good first first quarter he played really well in the first quarter

Then he did kind of cool off a little bit um Wes has been known to cool some guys down who have been hot like even when Jordan P was hot in one game he took him out excuse me it didn’t put him back in with like three minutes left I

Forgot which game that was um bullet Nation says Daniel gaffer has to go no way you get out played by all Detroit’s bigs tyus shouldn’t shoot 19 times on his team obviously has something against JP so unprofessional uh yeah um a lot of the points you said Daniel

Gaer has to go I mean he’s just not in in the role that he’s really suited for yeah you know I think he’s a really really good backup big or if he’s gonna start you gotta have a really good backup big that can help him out or

Another big that can help him out because him just being your only big is just it’s it’s set it’s setting the team up for failure you got to have more dep you gotta have more physicality um because a lot of guys that come here we talk about all the time they’re going to

Have 15 rebounds automatically 20 rebounds Durant should have had 20 boards he ended up with 18 but he should he should have had 20 unfortunately Duran should have been a wizard let’s be real I’m just gonna be 100 100 the r has been wizard he was W

What 13th we got who at 10 I’m just saying I’m I’m just throw that out there but um I mean you know he’s he’s part of a long list of bigs who have had career nights against Daniel Gafford you know we know what it is we both are fans of

Him I like Dan Gafford very likable guy man but as far as on the court he he is better served as the second unit Center he just because he’s not really good at one-on-one defending the paint he is great at help defense and in paint you

Know if you ever look at his game as far as defensively great help Defender man but just not it so we’ll see his name’s been connected too I mean I know the Knicks right now and I know that’s the biggest name right now as far as Daniel

Gaff but they need a replacement for Mitchell Robinson and hardenstein has been playing good man but they trying to make a playoff run we’ll see you know in my opinion outside of the young Corp everybody’s tra asset and with these type of performances you know why would

You want a lot some of these guys here if you’re not going to play hard then go somewhere else so that’s what I gotta say about right um Dan says man dur was right there in the draft yeah so you know I mean I think Johnny Johnny Johnny

Had a great college career just like a lot of guys did but yeah Jaylen Durant was right there at the time I don’t think we we were gonna get a center because you know we have porzingis so and Gafford so that was the thing at the

Time that’s why I was kind of iffy on getting Duren but of course in hindsight is like yeah would you take Duren 100% you would take Duren at this time for sure he’d probably be a top if you had to do a redraft he’s probably at least

Top eight if I look at it if I look at it on paper again he’s probably at least a top six pick top five for sure excuse me the way he’s playing he’s playing really good ball he’s just on a on a bad team but um yes as I do basketball as

Well not just football you know so um I do I do basketball as well so thank you for watching and Lamar odm says dang brand and not having it so a lot of people said get some brand Bran’s cooking you know I gotta get off my chest man look

That was a tough game man right so yeah we didn’t get a chance to get everybody’s comment I’m not gonna say we’re gonna get into everybody’s comment in the next uh episode but you know um we’re going to try to get to him another time for sure maybe maybe uh
