The Toronto Raptors and this happens to be Tristan vit’s debut so we’re gonna look at how did this uh how did the Wizards win this game um and we kind of the bad moments but definitely a good team Victory overall so let’s get into it everybody so looking at the team
Numbers um good in my opinion rebounding rebounding rebounding rebounding is the key uh when they rebound well very often not they stay in the game and they are in a position to win the game um if you look at the Wizards tonight they outrebounded Toronto where we at 63 to
50 uh and offensive rebounds 16 compared to their 13 now with those 16 offensive rebounds it led to what 18 Second Chance points now um what is the one negative I guess about um the team tonight I would say turnovers 18 turnovers we had 10 in
The I mean with eight minutes left in the second quarter so turnovers were an issue but ball M was fluid with 28 assists ton nice so team wise you know looking at team stats and I mean you this was a really good team Victory like the previous Victory against Sacramento
Kings this was a team Victory so let’s get into the uh personal numbers for the starting five Jordan po has wow I mean he has really looked decent lately but tonight he was a man on the mission 18 points four rebounds 12 assists I’mma say that again 12 assists uh shooting
Six for 14 from the field two for eight from three four for four from the chat strike three steals so let me say this um from a shooting standpoint very efficient uh he was very aggressive but the 12 assists are what really really makes me proud of Jordan P because um
And we’re going to talk about a lot more in a little bit but as far as his future at starting point guard where his fit would be next next year and obviously we’re going to talk a lot about that during offseason and leading up to next season but he’s been looking good at
Starting point guard 12 assists are definitely really good number for him because he’s got everybody involved I mean because early on for most of the game he struggled with a shot but he did Rebound in the second half and again 12 assists he’s getting people involved three steals are telling me that he’s
Put a lot more effort on the defensive end now um is he is he going to be that stopper that the defensive stopper at point guard it remains to be seen right now but he is putting a lot more effort on defense man he’s a lot more active on
The defensive man and it shows it shows with Sacramento with the win against the Kings and it showed tonight uh Cory kissman 18 points so he’s that sniper man that score and he continues to impress um more and more the season shooting uh seven for 12 four for six
From three 18 points again so definitely impressed with what Cory kisper has been doing like I said you know when we talk about breaking out we talk a lot about Denny breaking out and obviously we’re about to talk about turbo in a minute but Cory kissper is definitely found a
Consistent scoring this season and obviously defensively he’s not going to be stopper but a lot more effort on the defensive end Turbo Man 22 points 13 rebounds five assists eight for 19 from the field but three FR from three um definitely what I love from Denny man he
Continues to be that consistent source of points being that second or third scorer behind um Kyle kman and Jordan P so I definitely love what I see from Denny this year man I mean he is definitely broken out man so we’re ready for him to take that next level at at
This point but love what I saw 13 rebounds getting getting getting in the paint getting dirty getting the boards five assists getting you know other players involved now I will say this he’s not the only player but free throws have got to get better I mean you know
Three for six but clutch time man in that fourth quarter you know and we’re going to talk about Koz in a minute but but both Denny and Koz missed pivotal free throws in my opinion so they got to show up those free throws when they when
They matter man uh Kyle kman 16 points now yeah I’m you know I get it seven for 18 from the field 0 for three from three shot had you know it was underwhelming night shot wise but he found other ways to get involved kind of like Jordan P
You know when the shot wasn’t dropping you know if you look at Jordan P 12 assists if you look at Kyle kumma nine boards five assists so he definitely got more involved so I mean he tried to get other people in you know involved in in
Um in the offense my bad so uh and then we’re gonna get into ran Holmes and I I will admit you know when he first was acquired in the trade coming over here man um you know I looked at him as being kind of limited offensively and really question what could he provide
Especially when Marv Back le third at the time playing good basketball and he’s actually B tonight but we’re gonna talk about him in a minute but I mean ran Holmes 15 points 14 rebounds six’ n from the field two blocks he has been impressive very very impressive and when
You add him to the you know the tandem of him and Marvin Begley the third we’re not hurting too much especially with Tristan vich finally coming over here now you kind of intrigued looking at this Center position because again ran Holmes has been has been providing quality minutes at the center position I
Mean defensively rebounding numbers are are have been really really good and then if you look at the points yeah he’s not a guy who’s going to hit jumpers mid-rangers you know three-pointers but very very active in the paint uh very very active as far as scoring those
Pivotal back baskets in the paint man so you know definitely shout out to ran holes man he’s been playing really good basketball so um let’s take a look at the second unit now Jared Butler again 20 minutes Play Seven um seven points two rebounds two assists shooting three
For seven one for five from three and one still solid numbers off the bench Johnny Davis uh in 17 minutes play four points including a really good layup man um one rebound one assist two for three from the field one 0 for one from three
So but one Ste one block very very very active on the defensive end and look Johnny Davis man you know his defense he’s definitely an above average Defender man he is a you know he’s definitely a dog with the defensive end now we just wait on him to you know show
Himself up offensively but defensively very impressed with Johnny Davis Marvin black third a back from injury providing 16 minutes but 10 points eight boards four set for the field including one three-pointer shooting one for two from three quality minutes 16 minutes again 10 points eight rebounds to Quality
Minutes from Marv B the third so I mean you know I do like ran Holmes in the T with Marvin B the third at Center and I’m definitely going to int I’m a little intrigued by trist which we’re about to talk about making his debut but but uh
Patrick bwin Jr underwhelming I mean 11 minutes but two points one shooting one for three overall over two from three so underwhelming his rebound numbers have been solid except for the last game against the Kings but I felt like you know he’s got to find other ways get to
Contribute and he has with rebounds but again a very underwelming night and uh Justin Shin penny two minutes one rebound one assist but no points but Tristan Vish has made his arrival to the the DMV uh only three minutes obviously with Sean Holmes and Marvin Begley the
Third and hited him on death chart but um he’s he’s got a little swiftness to him man um didn’t get too much to look at obviously three minutes but look him just being here is a really big moment for this team because again we know go
We go from two centers to now we have a third so we have a little bit of depth at the center position so I can rest a little easy at the center position uh so again everybody really good couple of good team victories when this team wins
A rebound battle when they when when ball mov is fluid when everybody gets involved you know when everybody does their job this is not a bad team you know and like I said obviously we’re in a rebuild you know but you know when you look at certain pieces who could be here
Next year and Beyond you know like I said Kyle kman um you know if you find a good deal yeah but here’s the thing I’m not too mad if you’ll stay here next year because he’s been a consistent 20 plus a game score and the leadership
Shows man like I said as long as Everybody Eats have no problem with because like I said I’ve been a kak been fan since he’s been here in DC man especially with him being that complete player man so um look we’re not a bad team when we play as a team and that’s
The biggest underlying fact right there is that when we play as a team we often win as a team and like I said I get it 13 and 58 we’ve lost a lot more we won but you see the potential with the squad man you know you definitely see the
Potential with this team like I said as far as young players we have the foundation so again um before we get into the comments very very good team Victory everybody and like I said 112 to 109 the Washington Wizard get a second straight victory at home against the
Toronto Raptor so we’re going to get into uh comments before we roll but before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by prize pick so what is prize picks easy prize picks is America’s number one fantasy sports app with other three million members they are the easiest and most exciting way to

With me on Saturday night man so let’s get into it y’all um this is vax says Johnny D’s defense is carrying his career right now I I I agree 100% um his defense has been very very fluid man I mean his defense is he’s been he’s you
Know he’s always been kind of a really good Defender but you see the effort you see the dog on the defensive end now is developing that offensive game you know you know look at at the shot man um because he had a couple open looks man
That one from three you know man he’s got to work on a shot you know we got to figure out how to get this guy going offensively and like I said I have no problem with him getting you know fifth 15 20 minutes in the second half of the
Season man because we have to see what we have in Johnny but his defense man is his calling card uh and so we definitely have to build upon that in my opinion uh PL onsis says Jordan P facilitating that last play by passing the cor kbur for
The corner three was a great decision he has been very decisive with the ball L which has been beneficial I completely agree with you 100 per. you know his vision has been really shining now I mean and I and I was going to bring up uh two key plays from that fourth
Quarter one was Sean Holmes in that block um block was pivotable pivotable Lord I’m creating words y’all it was very pivotal um and then Jordan P you know with the hit action and in Catching Cory kisper in the corner for that three was mad good vision from Jordan P like I
Said you know when we had a full roster when T Jones was running Point um I thought at the time you know and it was at the time the best decision to make him six man it gave him opportunity to did take the pace on his second unit and
He shined but at starting point guard man like I said tonight 12 assists um my vision going forward is look call like it is right now he has very little value obviously with the issues suffering in the first half of the season but he you see the potential with
Jordan P you see the potential and you know especially as a score um but when you add facilitator and him with that Vision I’m very intrigued to see what he can do in stting point guard so because obviously going to the next year I still
Think we need to go get a point guard of the future in the draft but Jordan p man have you know we definitely have to consider you know especially if he continues to shine the way he is as far as Vision getting other people involved you know um not making those crazy
Turnovers man you know with him being locked in look I’m very intrigued to see what he can do is star in point guard next year man but we’ll see you know um go to punk breakes a little bit but I’m holding out hope that he can shine a DC
But I completely agree with you man he’s been playing out of his mind Edan said all the starters with a double all young players including V fish getting minutes and shamit and Ty is not playing this team is healing yeah I agree you know um
I don’t right now you may see them come back but you very well can see Shaman and Tai both sitting the rest of the year because like I said you know this team has to see what they have in Jordan P going forward man and you know I I
Have no problem with him being the starting point guard for for the rest of the season had no problem with that and definitely giving the young guys minutes so I definitely agree with that man uh play offes also ask thoughts on retaining ran Holmes next year for a veteran presence in leadership uh
You know Marvin back third he I mean he’s got one more year on his contract but here’s my thing I do like what I see from ran Holmes down Lake I’ll be the first person to admit that I didn’t know what to expect from him offensively and
Even as far as his presence in the paint because he didn’t get a lot of minutes with Dallas um but you see the potential with him I mean I know he’s 30 but look you know you know you can still develop certain areas of your game and you know
He’s definitely definitely impressed me lately I mean his rebound numbers are lot are dope man because and in scoring you know like I said he’s not a guy who has a lot of tools in his offensive tool bag but his paint scoring has been pivotal man and he’s done a great job in
DC and it all comes comes down to fit you know I’m a big Daniel Gafford fan man but you see a totally different player in Dallas as opposed to here is all about where you fit same thing with Marvin begy the third and ran Holmes they fit here you know they found the
Right system the right role and they’re shining so uh going forward to be honest with you I mean Vish obviously he’s part of the future Marvin Begley the third maybe you flip him because obviously he has a little value but you know I believe that Marvin Begley the third has
Played good basetball here in DC so um I understand the veteran presence um but I still think that at the if we get that first pick or even the top five pick and alexar is available I I think you still make that move now alexar can also play
The four so you can mix some match there’s a lot of variables in that but uh we’ll see you know I definitely see your point and I I definitely actually agree with you but um you know we have a lot of options going forward but the center position is definitely something
That is going to be evaluated in offseason man but um death is definitely a good thing till is a bad thing right uh Des son says what’s up Des Four Points by JD tonight he didn’t play good but that’s an improvement step by step yeah we’ll find small victories where we
Can his defense has been the one part of his game that’s definitely impressed me um just adding that offensive presence and like I said you know once he’s in the paint he’s not bad you know you see the footwork he’s not a guy’s gonna blow past anybody but you see the footwork in
A finesse by him but his shot his three-point shot he’s got it needs a little work man so definitely want to see him continue to work on his game um let’s see here no Shalom Cohen says I like how JP is playing lately Denny had
A great game but he needs to get better um starting with JP absolutely he’s been playing really good basketball like I said I’m very INRI to see you know could he be that next starting point guard next year um you know what is his fit obviously a lot of moving pieces going
On so that’s this question that is proba going be better answered closer to the season Once R through the offseason but he’s been playing really good basketball you know going you know making that move to the six man and now with Ty being out him being that starting point guard um
If he can continue to get other people involved and boost to his assist numbers I’m very intrigued you I know that’s my saying very intrigued but I am man you know I definitely want to see him succeed here in DC because he hasn’t he
Has in his prime yet and he is he can play some ball I mean you know hated him love him you know looking at certain issues you had in the first half of the season but I think we all can agree that Jordan P can definitely play basketball
I mean he’s definitely a scoring threat so we can find fine-tune those other parts of his game like getting other people involved the vision the defense I think we’re definitely cooking with a little bit of gas man so I definitely agree Denny I again I definitely agree
With you now you know um like I said um press conference in at the Kings game I asked him I said what’s next and he said look he knows that he has to work more you know it’s definitely Bridging the defense and offense into a inconsistency
So he knows he has things to work on man but look fine tune in this game offensively is definitely the name of the game for Denny because defensively he did take a small step back but he’s you know even with his small jumbling small step back defensively he’s still a really good
Defender so is getting is really the biggest thing with Denny is consistency you know because once he finds that um that consistent game on both ends of the floor and become a true two-way player now we’re cooking man you know I definitely think that he’s gonna he’s
Going to continue to get better and better um ke Lopez says do yeah we we do now have chemistry with the starting five our team will be scary next year I agree you know Jordan pulled Point man you know has you know an attack bow you
Know the fact that in transition now I will say this about Jord P he’s got to chill with the transition threes that that that just gets me so upset I mean he’s got to utilize the shot clock man but you know him running Point man it
Has been looking good and so you know I agree that’s starting five is money ran holes has stepped up you know K kma has continued to be that guy as as our number one option in scoring and Leadership and and definitely you know again with Kyle kma getting other people
Involved so him and Jordan P have stepped up and you know like I said I’ve been you know I’ve been tough on both of them man but reason for that I’m big fans of both of them want to see them succeed in DC and wherever they go if
They indeed aren’t here but um they both stepped up and I think that has a lot to do with you know and let’s call it like it is you the young gu have definitely played good Cory kissper and Denny Aya have stepped up and played well but we
Don’t win these last two games without ran Holmes KY kman and Jordan Po in my opinion you just you don’t so they they’ve definitely stepped up and looking really really good um area undor or area elore T says uh so who are we looking for at the third pick I can
Totally see them trying to build around coups in pool after they win some games down the stretch I mean you know and I kind of touched Bas in this last video um I don’t think the C is hit star yet and I but I think he can now I’ll say
This you know the reasons why I mean look I mean here’s what it is you know K signed that contract they he knew and the organization knew that Vince gonna flip him but he’s been a great leader here in DC he’s been great being that consistent 20 points a game score for us
And now that he’s getting other people involved you don’t have no problem now you know look to the Future eventually you’re gonna want to see the long-term option at the four whether it’s an alexar whether there’s another player but you know I have no you know P if he
Steps up to he’s that guy at point guard you know him and uh K and po they play well together they really do they play well together uh so I mean we’ll see we’ll see I mean I’m not I’m G be honest with you now the the term build around
CZ I just don’t think CZ is that guy that you build around I mean he’s definitely a guy who is good for rebuild but as far as him being a long-term piece as far as building it into a winner I don’t see that honestly I think
Eventually you do move on from CZ but he’s been great for this team during the rebuild in my opinion especially now he’s finding ways to get other people involved we know he can score we know that he can use his frame to attack the basket get to the free throw line you
Know his leadership has been money you know I mean so you know big fan of C man but like I said eventually we are going to move on and I don’t see you know I don’t see him as that guy as the guy to build around I didn’t think Bradley Bill
Was a guy build around because to me Bradley Bill last year wasn’t number one option and of course y’all heard me time and time again about that subject but um C is definitely a piece but he’s not the piece if that makes sense um and they um
They also said and put some respect on Johnny’s defensive hustle absolutely he’s a dog def defensively and as far as hustling and effort he is a dog so uh we’re gonna get do some more comments but before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by FanDuel say goodbye to

With Sean Holmes totally agree he has stepped up he’s been playing good basketball scoring in the paint defense rebounding in a high pitch man he has been doing a really good job and he’s impressed me play officers also says notice how C and P have been playing less isolation basketball lately and
Started Distributing the ball better absolutely because they’re finding ways both of them are finding ways to use their skills to you to get everybody involved you know with Kyle kman he’s our number one option scoring you know he’s our leader you know he’s you know
So this thing is we know he can score and he at times he’s become a little too dependent on that jump shot but he knows now that with that frame he can it will so when when the defense focuses on him breaking down the defense he can use
Cory kissper outside he use Denny outside because Denny with his quick release now he’s not hesitant to take that shot so he’s definitely finding other people the same thing with Jordan bu where with his speed with his ability to collapse defenses and attack the basket he knows that he doesn’t have to
Do it all he can slide it out to the outside and utilize shooter so excuse me so when they work in tandem together and get everybody involved this is not a bad team you’re not I mean you know obviously we rebuilding but you know we can start adding young pieces now and so
You know I completely agree on that front let’s see CH Biz again says I got three I got some more words Cory kissper dagger three I mean that is a play where you got to give credit RS due to both parties Jordan p in that past that
Vision was on point man and Corey kisper that’s I mean that’s a dagger man that in my opinion sealed the game that was it I mean that was definitely clutch on Cory kiser’s part man so I definitely agree on that DC onion what’s good kma still plays way too much ice ball she’s
Pass the ball at times is an issue at times but I do believe he’s been doing better on that front you know because that like I said that that was my biggest and really my only complaint with kman which is I know you can be
That scor CZ I know you can be that guy with your frame you you you’re you’re number one source of points for a reason but you know you you got to find ways to get everybody involved and you know look you know Denny is breaking out you know
Cory kissper in my opinion is breaking out because he’s become a consistent source of points which he always has but now you just see a new element to Cory kiser’s game that dog man you know driving cutting three-point shots so you know but I definitely agree that ISO
Ball has been a deterrent to this team you know when they play as a team they win as a team so I definitely definitely agree on that brand 72 ask this this shows how bad unseld was even the SC assistant was a better has a better winning percentage West junr I mean I
Know got promoted but I mean they you you know look Ryan ke has gotten a response from these guys he has I mean you know and you you just tell you know when when I cover the games man that there’s a positivity to the guy like he truly believes in these guys you
Know and and like I said should he be a candidate I I think that he should definitely get an interview for the head coaching position now you still go out and you look at at other options you know whether it’s Sam Cassell whether it’s Jawan Howard whether it’s Mike bu
But I think he’s ear the right to get an interview because they have responded to him man they have responded to him um Alan Ohana as or says rather uh Denny is has or is in All-Star potential I think I think he G develop into an
All-Star you know when I look at the potential of Denny is kind of like B when they when they but here’s the thing with both of them is that when they combined when they come become a two-way player that’s the key to them because look defensively Denny since Z1 has been
A good Defender you know that’s never been an issue you just now you’re starting to see him breaking out and evolve offensively now the biggest thing with den and he admit to that is getting stronger and finding consistency if he can consistency be that 15 points and
Maybe a 20 points a game score man you definitely hit pay there with Denny same thing below with his wingspan with his defense the defense is already there they on an elite level it just develop him offensively so I think both of them you know best case
Can evolve in two All-Star players in my opinion but the biggest thing overall with this franchise is what development development development we have got to develop more we got to develop better we’ve got to start hitting on picks more that’s how we succeed in this rebuild is
Hitting on picks that is it um DC on also says Rich Homie was rebounding his as bur off like that um yeah you know look ran Holmes man has definitely stepped up man like I said you don’t get these last two victories without ran Hol
In his work in the paint man you do not Timothy Swindle says two wins in a row okay Wizards yeah I it’s it’s a tease man because you know this team is 13 and 58 and we’re definitely in challenging for the number one pick but I I’ve said
It all Year y’all culture culture matters man you know culture playing hard and playing to win we get there’s going to be a talent gap between most of the teams and the Wizards in the league but you always play to win you always play hard and they’re doing that they’re
Solidifying that culture and that’s what I want to see because that’s pivotal early on in a rebuild should again be Scott JD got single points where’s the shot glass yeah okay I got you I owe you two shots I I owe you tonight man so I’m
Keeping me on my toes Man U let’s see Idan says I’m actually proud of P he’s maturing yes he is he is becoming a threat again man I’m telling you right now Jordan P we knew coming over from gold state that he was a monster scoring
It’s just the maturity um the issues but he’s showing that up man look he he had a um a moment tonight where he looked like he hyper extended his knee or his leg he’s tough you know I mean you know I mean here’s the thing with players who
Are truly locker room issues they’re going to find ways not to play you know when you’re a dog you’re G to find ways to play you know what I mean and you know the maturity you know you see with Jordan P now it’s just adding these
Pieces to his game you know adding more effort to the defensive fan and BEC a better Defender you know definitely getting other people involved because I think that look next year because Tai is you know all arrows are point of him leaving and even if we go out and get a
Point guard with his toe pitch or Dylan ham or Isaiah ker you know you still you got to consider what Jordan P can do long term at point guard man in my opinion because he’s been looking good so we will see because a lot has to
Happen before we have a like a permanent opinion on that um ‘s Johnson say when does the Player Development portion of the rebuild start I mean we’re going to see but it’s in my opinion it’s already has to have already started because look we already have young Talent now Denny
AIA has broken out signing an extension he’s gonna be here for a minute um Cory kissper I think they need to go ahead and sign him to an extension that year next year absolutely uh you know looking at Johnny Davis I think is not solely on the organization I think both parties
Have to take some credit or criticism right um messing with his shot messing with his role who he is as a player is on the organization not taking advantage of minutes that’s on Johnny so um but you know you got Jared Butler who in my opinion look he’s not bad at Point
Backup point guard you know Eugene M Murray he’s a dog I mean you know depending on what they do with Hamad do Dio but and RJ Hampton but these guys are still young so I I agree that development has to you know be key hitting through the draft has to be a
Priority and you have to develop the young Talent you already have man so really good comment I definitely appreciate it um let’s see we’re getting up to the 30 minute Mark so we’re going to try to knock out as many as I can try to knock out as much as I can everybody
Like said I definitely appreciate the love and you guys rock on me on Saturday night so I’m G try to do three more comments um my man R catalo said howy Brandon Scott what’s good how you doing man um DC onion says b we laugh laughing
My butt off we are a bad team I mean we looking I mean depends on how you you know which bad you’re looking at like these last two games man they’ve looked like a really good team but then at this point we’re what 13 to 58 so I you know
I get it you’re gonna take your your bumps and bruises in the rebuild man but overall I’ve been very impressed with us offin team this year I get it the record speaks to a clear lack of or you know a talent Gap I mean that’s the thing you
Know we’re right now we’re not a good team but we have a lot of potential and if we can Define roles in I’m telling you right now Jordan p is is one guy to look at in my opinion you know really is because he’s been playing really good basketball um so
Let’s see groovy entertainment says salute to the channel appreciate you appreciate y’all man um I can’t read that but appreciate the love uh peace from Israel Wizards are the real magicians Brandon you’re the best what do you think about the coach so far um I think that again he has definitely
Earned an interview now I do kind of want to see more but here’s the thing it’s tough to judge and and going back to West you know obviously West has issues you know the lack of adjustments and and things here and there but it’s tough to judge the coach right now
Because this is a team where is still trying to find his identity you know we have a lot of young pieces we’re in the rebuild we have veterans who can play but we’re trying to see what the roles are going forward long term but you know there’s a lot of questions with this
Team but um you know there’s Talent here there really is there is Talent here um so I’m G try to look at a couple more comments like I said we are at the 31 minute Mark and I know it’s sad night so everybody wants to enjoy their
Saturday night so let’s see I’m going do a couple more because there’s so many good comments man ah let’s see uh uh shook Biz asks new over and under 17 wins I mean I can go ahead and answer that question real quick we’re gonna take a look at this uh the schedule real
Quick um and we’re going to go ahead and determine that right now so let’s see 17 wins we are currently at 13 and 15 eight so let’s take a look you said over and under 17 so we got R Chicago next on Monday um we’re home against Brooklyn
Home against Pistons home against the Heat the Bucks the Lakers the Trailblazers at Toronto at Minnesota yeah go ahead and put l in Minnesota um the Bulls at home and then we end the year April 14th at Boston I mean realistically man wins I’m looking at
Portland I think is a win Detroit I think is a win um I think Brooklyn is a winnable game and I think the Chicago Bulls games they had you know they can be winnable games but Toronto is going to play as tough Minnesota is in L
Boston’s an L Miami’s L Milwaukee’s an L so let’s see best case scenario we win those four games ah man that’s I ah man I’m GNA go over but but but not by much you know I think that when we play like we have these last couple games we can get 18
Wins I think we can but here’s the thing man we got to team play team basketball when we get when we revert back to ISO ball man it just it’s bad juju for this team man so I’m going to hit one more question or comment and call it a night
Everybody um here we go uh rid Wings 01 p is turning into the player we thought we were getting absolutely you know I was very very excited when we acquired him from Golden State because he was electrifying he could score he’s just got that it Factor man and you know like
I said with him struggling as far as maturity and shacked in the full moments you know he had to figure out who he was or who he is as a player in DC you know I think the move coming from Golden State was a culture shot because you go
From a team that you know was is was a dynasty and there a team that’s challenging every year for playoffs to a team that is early on in the rebuild he had to figure out who he was in DC and not hold on to the player he was in
Golden state if that makes sense because look I mean I think he can get better here in DC I think that he could be that guy and you know I thought that coming in you know so if he locks in mentally you know if he continues to be that that
That score that number two option in or number one depending on the matchup and the night you know and definitely utilize that Vision man and you know put more effort on the defensive end look he could be a future pieace but if they don’t want him here long term what you
Know what’s the other option he’s going to have value so either way I think is a winable situation with Jordan p man but you know definitely definitely would like what I see from him right now man so um DC on real quick said we should
Have kept KP you need to stop I think look man we we got to let that go man but I’m with you man I like KP too but um so again everybody Saturday night definitely appreciate everybody roing with me tonight really good victory for the Wizards man 112 to 109 at home over
The Toronto raps and so definitely man we’re looking you know the young guys looking good the vet are looking good so look Wizards are looking good right now man but it’s not get it twisted let’s look forward to a productive offseason of getting more young Talent here in the
Nation’s cap but CR and p man they have you know they changed some perspectives as far as what repl his here long term so again appreciate you guys man appreciate you guys rocking with me tonight uh continue to keep uh Ed in your prayers man he’s under the weather
Man so um with the weather up and down here in the east coast and with something going on all the time um you know it’s been definitely been a tough year for both of us man as far as sickness and our respect of families man so definitely keep him in your prayers

The credit goes to the starting lineup of the Wizards with Jordan Poole at the point guard position setting up the right plays with his expert ball handling, his setting the right pace for his teammates to get in the best position to score, Richaun Holmes playing his position excellently getting14 rebounds and making 15 points, and with Kuzma, Kispert, and Deni now playing in sync with Poole and Holmes scoring to win the game now! They got a winning combination with other players coming in to give the starters a rest when needed! Go, Wizards!
You are playing great! We love it!,
Turbo plays – 13 wins.
Turbo out – 0 wins.
no respect by refs. DA & Kuz didn't go to the line enough
Its possible to Win with all the bigs back. yet raptors are horrible right now. should've been won by double figures.
Go Deni !!!!!!
Vukcevic is non existent on his debut. we need him to be active or he will be traded this off season
Don’t forget the head coach determines who will play and his minutes. When did Vukcevic report to the Wiz’s facility? It’s a long journey from Serbia and he could just walk across our borders. Then there is practice with the team and learning about his teammates. He played 3 minutes. The new GM etc have helped Jordan Poole become a PG. Last night was his first real demonstration that he can pass well. Vukcevic has put on muscle in Serbia and he can still run the floor. Don’t be surprised if they trade Kuz right before the draft for another or 2 #1 round picks. The Wiz better get enough draft ping pong balls to actually grab the #1 pick. Who will be the ‘permanent’ head coach? Will they pick Sarr? Can they get another higher first rounder this year to also pick Topić. Is there anyone the Spurs would trade for on the Wizards? Sign Tyus to a team friendly contract and trade him and Kuz for the #7 pick if Topić knee is sound? Remember Wizards are in full rebuild mode. Love Kuz and how he keeps learning….Tyus might become an All Star feeding that TALL guy in SA; or here feeding Sarr etc.
Man Brandon loves him some Deni lol😂😂😂
All wizards need is some bigs to let Kuzma excel at his spot.. Superstar in the making!!!
Poole and Kuzma will work
Deni still needs work.
Kuzma is Allstar
