Trade Kuzma before the pink sweater bobblehead night
The Wizards defensively game-planned for Giannis Antetokounmpo to have put to the team on his back to win this game. Unfortunately for the Wizards, Giannis Antetokounmpo is very good at the game of basketball and can put a team on his back.
Every time we cut their lead down to 5, we started to brick shots until they had a 10 point lead again. Sad.
ALSO – Kuzma had 28 field goal attempts and Porzingis had 13?? WHAT THE FUCK??? IN WHAT UNIVERSE DOES KUZMA DESERVE TO SHOOT 15 TIMES MORE THAN KRISTAPS? Kyle is a good player, but those bricks were so frustrating…
There were a lot of reasons we lost that game, but Kuzma was at the top of that list.
Fucking Kuzma man, watching him chuck shot after shot was painful to watch.
Also Giannis is just a straight up beast
Jordan Goodwin had two excellent passes in the last minute and yet he’s completely fallen out of the rotation. I’m so tired of Monte Morris and really it should be Wright > Goodwin = Morris in terms of minutes
Another 55 point game given away.
greek man too good
Kuz was embarrassingly bad tonight. And I hope Brad is OK, but they really need to shut him down until he’s fully ok.
I’m not sure if this is controversial but does anybody feel like Kuz might be one of those “doesn’t contribute to winning” kinda players? I do love him and he has won us some games so maybe I’m just being dramatic, but sometimes it does seem like he plays hero ball and can shoot us out of games.
NO BEAL WE WIN BEAL BACK WE LOSE HMMMMMMMMMMM
We played a decent game, I’m actually fine with this performance. But if we closed with a Wright-Kispert-Rui-Gafford-Porzingis lineup, I think we would’ve been closer.
There’s only so much you can do against Giannis, though.
Wizards basketball is just pure depression.
Probably the franchise with the worst future out of all of them.
I love Kuzma I really do but he’s legit using DC as a trampoline to try and get somewhere else with the way he’s playing. Not passing to Rui and taking twice as many shots as our best player tonight in KP. He was great at the beginning when he was trying to prove himself again after the hate in LA but this playstyle is not it. He’s one of my favorite players and it’s sad he doesn’t really seem to want to be here but we gotta get something from him at the deadline for the sake of our team. Let Rui cook man let’s see what he can do as our third offensive option.
Great hustle but WUJ def should have taken Kuzma out of the game.
What happened to Gafford? Missed the last bit but heard he went to the locker room late.
The shots were there. Just gotta hit. Throughly outplayed by the Bucks big men trio.
Wizards don’t let the opponent’s number one option go nuclear challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]
Man, Kuzma’s shot selection. Has the shot freedom of a bonafide superstar and the efficiency of…..Kuzma. Pass the damn ball.
I can’t believe kuz who’s a 3rd option had 28 shot attempts. He just using the wizards to get his next contract. Man does not play winning basketball
Hard fought game but we gotta make our 3’s, also can’t let Giannis drop damn near 60 on us. Would’ve liked to see Deni try to guard him a little more but there’s a reason why he’s a all nba player. Also need Kuzma to bounce back because his games in Milwaukee could’ve been a lot better (triple double was nice but scoring still wasn’t all there). Tonight was the same but even worse, he needs to find a rhythm and not force it
fuck kuzma trade his ass. he so Fucking selfish
kuz was terrible. 28 attemps is excessive. I don’t think kuz can be a scorer like Giannis. I just wish he used his surroundings better.
There’s no shame in losing to Milwaukee, but there is plenty of shame in giving Kuz the green light. We honored the Big 3. Wall finally returned. Now let’s trade Kuz and turn his bobblehead night into Goof Troop Tribute Night.
Fucking sucks to ***finally*** pick up some steam then Brad reinjures his hamstring AGAIN and Gafford gets injured. I’m heated dawg
worst part of Kuz is that he’s a good passer and playmaker but still just chooses to chuck this many shots when cold.
It’s almost like Kuzma wants to be traded.
I saw Gafford messing with his elbow after taking the hit from Giannis…does anyone know the injury? Would be awful to lose him.
I’m fucking heated.
This Giannis guy is pretty good. He might just go places.
Where are all you Kuzma stans at? Explain to me how a 3rd option averages more shots per game then everyone else on the team but shoots worse in EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY! Make it make sense
Are the Wizards the only team that doesn’t play with a coach on the sideline? I mean that has to be the only reason why Kuzma had 28 shots while only making 10, right? Maybe it came with a lot of free throws? Oh, no, 0/0 so he wasn’t just getting hacked and missing.
Weird, is this a new trend from Europe to play without a coach or something?
This game was pretty fun to watch. I honestly wouldn’t have minded losing this so much if it weren’t for that disastrous 4th quarter. Kuzma had no business taking all those shots and WUJ should be ashamed for not taking him out after he bricked his 4th or 5th shot in a row. There were still flashes here and there of our young players having the fight in them to make a come back and keep it competitive until the final minute, but there isn’t much you can do when one guy has the green light to lose us the game. Pitiful, but I hope that we can continue the momentum we had in the prior games going forward.
