KYLE KUZMA IS HIM
*Upper* Mid 3
We won.
Welcome back Kuz!!!
Something is brewing here.
Beal came up big in the 4th
Reversed the third quarter script big time!
Man when the trio of KP, Brad and KP are healthy and get it going early… looks like energy shifters to me
The entire team was plus in the plus-minus.
Shout-out to Kuz, dude had some great plays, awesome buzzerbeater. I wanted to trade him, but well, if we’re going to re-sign him, I hope he keeps playing his pink sweaters off.
We managed to keep a 20 point lead!? WTF W
Mid 3 showed out tonight, what a game. Also 1-0 with the Kuz jersey on
That’s why I’m annoyed we blew that 20 point lead against these guys two weeks ago. We have dogged them 6 outta 8 quarters we faced them
What a game!
Mid 3 was the big 3 tonight.
When was the last time the Wizards had backup guards as good as Delon/Nunn (not to mention Goodwin, QJ)? Maybe Sato/Rivers 🤢? Shoutout to my man ish too, but we never had anyone to go with him.
It’s not really a statement at how good they are but more of an indictment of just how bad our backups have been historically. I seriously don’t remember the last time we just had decent guards coming off the bench and it makes things so much easier.
Gone are the days of Isaac Bonga, jermone Robinson, Raul Neto..
We won, but at what cost?
Oh, $52 for the win? And it’s not my money? I’ll take that deal
Fun stat, everyone ended up with a positive +/- tonight
johnny davis shot 100% from the field.
well kuz is back
Would like to say that even though Kuz played fantastic, thing I noticed most was he was the first guy standing when both rookies hit their first career 3’s
He’s acting like he is going to be on this team in the future.. I assume we already have the deal mostly done under the table
BEST BIG THREE IN THE EAST, FUCK EVERYONE ELSE! (Only half kidding.)
EVERYBODY ON THE TEAM SCORED!!!!
I loved how hype our team was when the bench reserves were nailing down shots in garbage time.
This team built different
Solid game overall. Kuz huge in return. KP looked dominant. Defense did just enough (god damn do I love Delon btw).
We are lucky all those Technical fouls got called with ~4 mins left to blunt their momentum.
KP on why he’s so hot early in games: “I take a couple espresso shots before the game”. HAHA, I love Unicorn.
KP just mentioned next season. HE STAYS.
Y’all think we might have something? idk
KP is scary.. playing out of his mind this month
So KP is seriously shooting out of this world this month! Latvian KD
That revenge was sweet and satisfying. Johnny Davis, Q Jackson, and VCJ getting garbage time points was the cherry on top!
Wizards sustained a 20 pt lead
Refs finally giving us calls
Everyone is now healthy
Johnny Davis made a 3 without thinking twice
Multiple rounds in the Wizards bed tonight
We still have 4 games against the hawks, 3 games against the raptors, and 2 games against the Knicks this year. This stretch after the allstar game is super crucial and we very much control our own destiny
Hey look Kuzma is back and we didnt play twin towers together for 30 min!!!!
Kuz had a great game back, Brad had his highlights in the 4th, and KP was so dominant the Blazers announcers were just sighing in resignation. I really think if this group stays healthy and gets it together post ASB, could be in line for one of those freak upsets come playoff time.
I hope Deni is alright, haven’t felt his presence that much past two games although he did have a nice second half against GSW. Kendrick Nunn is an understated backcourt upgrade almost good for 10-12 a night while giving pop to that second unit. Delon was very disruptive as well and J Crew Jesus finally had a decent game after having a rough go past games.
I think something that is also very much under the radar on this sub is KP playing B2B’s (and playing well at that) . His Mavs tenure you almost never saw him play one, and if he did he was usually ineffective or limited. Hoping no crazy freak injuries happen to him because it seems he’s been such a huge part of this team both in and off the floor.
Garbage time was awesome, Q and Johnny Davis (!) three’s and VCJ looked smooth out there.
Well deserved rest for everyone, we look beat up as hell out there.
What are the wizards chances in the playoffs
