Is Al having trouble adjusting to the bench? He's missed 2 bunnies.

Last year he shot his lowest percentage at the rim since his rookie year.  He’s just getting old.

Yeah, I don't think he's having trouble adjusting to the bench (he had 10 boards last game). His inside game has been declining for a while as he's shifted to 3 point shooting.

Yeah, I’m fine with not seeing Gallinari in green. He is slowww. Yeesh.

He'd be our third best big if he was still here, though.

Don't forget Porzingis. He was dominating to start this one.

Settling a bit in this quarter.  Let's get back to playing through the paint.

Despite the dominance, it’s annoying watching them heave threes. Just move the ball. This regression is what lets teams back in. Probably won’t happen tonight - but an opportunity to just close the door which they didn’t do very often last years.

If you're sitting front row and you spill a drink on the court, you should have to drink out of a sippy cup for the rest of the game.

Gotcha. Wizards couldn't do anything with KP in the paint. Too small.

I've never really understood why they don't put lids on drinks at games/concerts.

While blowouts are fun in their own right, I think the team would've benefitted more from a more competitive game, especially this early in the season with how many new guys we have.

We're getting sloppy now and playing lazily with some of these iso threes.

Wizards have to be the worst defensive team in the NBA… Yikes.
