@Gil Scott-Heroin your boy

On the same day Haliburton said he thought he was going to DC on draft night on the Woj pod and Wizards twitter broke down

He doesn't really suit the Wizards.

His style of play would be more beneficial to a contender, but he isn't good enough to really be a star in his own right. The Warriors desperately needed a high-quality role player like him. Him and the 4 and Dray at the 5 in small ball lineups would shell a lot of teams.

Absolutely. The Wizards need a PG who can break a defense down and a true SF. It’s the same needs they’ve had since 2019.

Wizards are Toronto lite because of all the damn 6’8” forwards on the roster.

I mean... He still had 16 rebs :yeshrug:

It seems like not having Middleton is effecting him too.
Did you watch the game or are you just box score narrating?

A lot of those rebounds were uncontested so he could push the break. Very few of them were competing with the Hawks; he actually got caught out not boxing out a few times. Mentally, it seems he's in a rut and doesn't quite know how to get himself out of it. Obviously, a more expansive offensive game would do him wonders, but I don't think that's ever going to happen. He dribbles into traffic and ends up at a dead-end far too often. Some of the possessions he had tonight trying to get to the hoop were embarrassing.

Fortunately for him, the playoffs are months and months away, so he's got plenty of time to rectify it.

What the hell did the Bulls do at halftime? They were up 16 and Wizards had 37 year old Taj as the only big man available
Idk, this team is unbelievably frustrating to watch. All they had to do was come out and play an average quarter and get game was over. When they gave up that full court pass after a made FT at the end of the 3rd I said these nikkas deserve to lose.

Bulls have to be the most remedial team in the NBA
