GT #16: ATL Hawks @ Bullets 7 PM (MSN/980 AM)

[Frichuela]

Teams discipline is a joke. One thing to tank, another thing to just be allowed to play like ass hats.

It’s cause WUJ is spineless and the vets know it

Yep. Afraid so. Also, why does he take Bilal out? He has only played 21 minutes…

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Well, I guess we can't blame the poor defense solely on Jordan Poole.

Kuzma looks disinterested on that end, Jones is terrible, Gafford has always had his limitations there despite the blocks, Kispert is a sieve, ditto Gallinari, Poole... ditto.

The only players that give effort on this roster on defense are Deni, Bilal, Davis, Shamet, and Gafford at times (but again he has some massive limitations given the amount he is bullied out there at the center position.)

[9 and 20]

Calling it now - Wiz gonna lose 69 games because Kuz and Poole will think it's funny. Not gonna lie, that would be kinda funny.

God willing they will be gone via trade soon, but what team looks at either of them as worth taking on?

When Brook Lopez is blowing past you consistently, you aren't playing good defense. I was a Gafford fan but he hasn't been good this year defensively. I do think he suffers more than most by getting hung up on picks that guys aren't calling out, though it's a team wide problem.

Finally got to see the Wiz without Poole; Kispert doesn't play defense either of course and we didn't create turnovers (9) while committing 20 ourselves but our rotations were a bit better. Still bad, but better. Also got to see Jared Butler

[DCZards]

Jared Butler was a bright spot last night…actually led the Zards in scoring with 13 pts in 16 mins, also had 5 assists.

Butler’s handling, passing, and court presence screams PG…and I like that.

I really like Butler. Think he will play his way into being a core piece of the future. Just turned 23 end of August, still a young player .

Wes emptied the bench early - kudos to him. Nice to see Butler and Davis get some play.
