Destino Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 That was an excellent half of basketball. The defending champs are shooting well, and beating them when they are is never easy. Wizards hung with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I was critical of Kuzma after the first couple games, but I've been really impressed with him lately. Plays within the offense, plays good defense, boxes out. His shot is really nice too. Need to get him some more looks. Fun game so far, Gafford was an absolute steal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add im almost ready to apologize to Dani for being hard on him, too. Hes doing a lot of dirty work that doesn't show on the box score, I dont know if he'll ever get his shot right, but the effort is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, honestly never expected Deni to turn into a defensive specialist, but it's a welcome turn of events. Positively impacting the team's performance even if he's off offensively. I suspect much of this is Wes's doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Very interesting comparison over on the Wiz Reddit. And I think it's spot on. Deni is basically playing a Draymond role. Lockdown defense with great rebounding and effort. He can push the ball up and is always looking to facilitate in the half court. He's been great tonight. Growth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 If you just watch Deni move and play defense, it’s very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemSkinz Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I really wished that Buck was on the call for the dagger, but great ending despite Beal being dumb at the very end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Only reason this game was close because of turnovers (19) and offensive rebounds allowed (16). Wizards are playing much better defense, but if they can’t get the defensive rebound they’re just wasting that effort. 3 minutes ago, Hersh said: tell me what he did in the last two minutes. Wouldn’t have mattered without a Beals 30. Lets not kid ourselves, Beal did the heavy lifting on offense today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Beal was fantastic for about 95% of the game, but his clutch gene is just non existent. Dimwiddle seems much better in that area and the offense should honestly run through him in those situations. But he carried the offensive load tonight. Such is his value, you can have games like this where you win with just one guy scoring most of the points if the supporting pieces do their jobs.

I know a lot of folks are sick at the idea of giving Beal supermax, but when you're talking about a player that averages 30ppg, you give it to him and hope for the best. This isnt a "do we give otto max" situation, and I've seen us waste cap space we don't know what to do with *cough Ian Mahinmi Edited November 8, 2021 by Renegade7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
