    The highs and lows of this team are unbelievable. There's no one like us. We can beat anyone in any given night just as we can lose with 5 guys from a street pickup
    I don't want to buy I hate Hayes lol is so unreliable and can't protect the damn basket. When he's out there it's like you're playing small ball but with a guy that also sucks on offense and can't shoot. I rather have Koloko to be honest

    i mean, several of us saw this coming, which is disappointing in itself, right?

    bigger concern is that if AD is out or even compromised further, we'll be losing a lot of games.

    I just want to care enough to want to watch the games. Please give me a reason to watch.

    @ Washington on Thursday but then its @NY, @ Clippers, vs. GS and vs. Indiana. Then the schedule is soft for a couple of weeks before we end February/start March with @ Denver, vs. Dallas, vs. Minnesota, vs. Clippers, vs. Clippers, vs. Pelicans, vs. NY and @ Boston. We're probably in for more up and down play for the next month.

    Just you doing you of course prob with renewed gusto since AD finally has another injury you can pick on that may keep him out awhile and contributed to a game we might or might not have won anyway last night. But 26-18 (prior to that) and 5th in the brutal west 1 1/2 out of 4th and trending upward with AD beasting, DFS and Vando added to the rotation and Max doing well contributing to the much improved D >>> “wasn’t” enough to have your interest and care? Seriously?

    Who are we going to start against Washington? That's a lot of South Bay call ups required.

    man, we're going to punt the only winnable game of the next three, ensuring a 4-game losing streak?

    we're determined to be in the play-in at all costs, man.

    There are more things that are questionable than just player availability.

    Jus sayin'

    So true. Well, the 40 point blowout was great. Couldn't believe we put up 78 on them in the first half!! That was really fun to watch. I'm still loving Vando so much. His energy is amazing.

    Lakers without AD in DC, go up 78-45 at the half, and at one point were up 42. Lakers 134; Wiz: 96. Good to see the Lakers blow out a team, even this team.

    What went right? We shot 55% to WA's 32%. I think if you are a season ticket holder for the Wizards you should get some sort of rebate for every ticket stub you show: hey, at least I showed up for this jit show. The stands weren't completely empty. Now gimme those 4 free passes to the movies for a family of 5, popcorn included.

    Highlight of the day/night for me: Vando in 16 mins gets 4 steals and 4 offensive boards, shot 2 for 3 from the field.
    Surprise of the day/night: DK getting booted for arguing with the ref.

    Why the F do they keep doing that!? I'm not superstitious.... up to some undefined point. :giggle: That maybe we've reached here? :swear: Maybe some key players are and it's now messing with their heads!?

    Loved that game. Going to miss Max!!! Can’t be sad about AD we got Luka!!!! Everyone played really well. Our defense was amazing.

    On the day’s outcome:
