Thomas Bryant s now starting and producing for the Wizards


If he can’t sub in for Chandler in a game where we are up 12 with 4 mins to go and the opposing team is imploding... yeah, whats the point of having him at all?


I would take Bryant over Zu any day of the week and twice on weekends!


Bryant gonna be the next Randle on LG


Zu is already the next Sacre minus the dance moves.

Zu is much better than Sacre. That's how bad Sacre was.

Underrated change on defense has been Kuzma playing perimeter D. His defense has really improved.

True, Sacre was beyond bad but he had moves like Jagger.

Currently Tied for 6th in the West. One thing that's relevant is that we are currently in the driver's seat against a few teams for tiebreakers. Up 2-1 on the Blazers with a home game left. Tied 1-1 on the Nuggets with a home again left. Already Up 2-0 on the Mavs with 1 game left. Just stay in the mix and next thing you know we're the 4th seed

He's getting better as his starts to anticipate offensive moves of opposing players and how to place body & move his feet

But has Zu ever showed out in a dunk contest? Sacre has.

It's not underrated... before he was playing half ass d... tonight he matched the intensity of Zo and Ingram.

I think the fact that he missed everything in the first half lit a fire under him and he made up for it on the boards, some nice passes and defense.

If he keeps it up... he will be worth keeping in the starting lineup.

Maybe Luke actually gave him an ultimatum.

while is shot has been off, his defense and playmaking has been improving. one he gets his shot rolling, he is going to be really good.

he has the tools, its a matter of getting his hands dirty, the rebounding numbers are encouraging too, his number of assists too, he can turn into a more well rounded player for sure

Our FT percentage was a dismal 65.6%. KCP is the only threat from the free throw line, making 8-10 tonight.
We have to improve in that area or it will cost us some games.

The nets blew a 3 possession lead with 30 seconds left and lost in 2OT to the Grizzlies smh.

At least the Pels dropped a game.

Cost us more games.
You're right 66% isn't good at all. We have to turn it up

With the free throw woes everyone but KCP is experiencing, I almost don't want fouls called. This is insane, someone needs to perform an exorcism or something.

This game was just blah to me, nothing too overtly amazing or glaringly bad. Just going through the motions like this team seems to be doing.

On a unrelated note, I had a bit of a random rant unrelated to the outcome of the game, itself...

I have had LP for years, with Directv and Uverse. I have had the channel go offline before the game was over or have a technical glitch and not show it at all. With Uverse you just have 1 channel for each game, I guess someone over at the control board misread the lineup and on the 1 channel for this game they put on the Thunder POST game, they only realized it 15 minutes into the telecast, making me see the score of this game 3-2 with a little over 10 in the first but I have OCD, I hate even having that aspect of the score ruined let alone waiting on the east coast for this game to be completely over, after 12 am, bc I refuse to watch it live with the missing 2 min and will have to see the first 2 min on the app and then go watch the rest on my tv.
So I am tired, I didn't start this game until AM bc of a LP screw up with my tv.
And yes I know I could use the dvr function on the app but I have sucky internet and the videos play better when its not live.

If you read this, thanks...needed to vent.
