with sasha and thomas?

Yeah..They played with poise to close out Washington...KP and Grant isn't ready yet..

Both KP and Grant looked a little shook up tonight from the get-go. Not really sure why. They looked confident enough during the previous 2 games.

Did not see Porzingis being "shook up," Not sure what game you were watching...honestly.

Grant is too deferential on offense...has to take the shot when it is there.

I said from the get-go. He looked a little shook. He wouldn't impose his will towards the basket, he took off too early for a dunk and had to adjust with bad results, got knocked to the floor by a much smaller guy. That's what I saw. A little shook up. Not criticizing the guy, so relax. Just calling it like I saw it. It happens. He's a rookie. No biggie.

I'm very relaxed , but making some poor decisions is not "shook up" for me. Perhaps "indecisive" would have been a better word, even though I don't think it was applicable for the most part.

He does have to be more assertive going to the basket...would agree with that, but I thought he was more nervous shooting at the Garden, the other night. Team also needs to look for him early so he can establish a rhythm with some midrange Js. One or two shots went in and out, I think, too.

Wizards seemed to go small- Humphries did nothing against Porzingis. I was surprised when they took him out, but Fisher seemed to know what he was doing tonight based on the results. I actually wanted KP in instead of Lopez, to be honest, but things worked out fine.

Lopez' value of managing the defense is underrated. And that huge block at the end!

Lopez will never look great but he does so many things that are not obvious. He needs to shoot much better though

I love Lopez. The guy is a wall when he sets a pick. I don't like his hook much but he is so focused on defense. Not sure how Tyson got dpoy that year but Lopez is much better in my opinion. Also, not worried that Lopez is going to lead through the media or try to get his coach fired.

exactly how I feel.

He is so much better for this team then Monroe. Monroe looked good on paper against us but his defense was a disaster.

yes. prolly not going to play anymore of those.

we should really play all of our games on the road. Our rookies looked shook at home

Yeah but they will get over that. I think it was more that it was a second game of a back to back with the team traveling and also maybe too much euphoria over the Bucks win. Also, the Hawks needed that game and they are a really good team.
I thought when the playoffs started last year the Wiz were the second best team in the east. This was a huge win. I can't begin to express how excited I am about this team.

me too. very excited.

so far, phil looks like a genius. I maybe the only one here that is still not sold on dwil but he hit home runs on everyone else.

crazy! insane!

everyone killed phil for bringing him back.

Just wait until Louie gets back.

Yeah, he did not seem to be as assertive at the end of the game...seemed like Beal was doing more.

Gallo is tough, and you can see the kind of competitor he is in certain big moments.

Yeah, he's definitely got ice in his veins.

Fisher seems to have a lot of confidence in him.

Maybe he needed the real games to get focused. His pre-season performance was dreadful.

it was but that is why we need to assume that coaches see other things in practice that we are not privy to.

Jose must be freakin killing it in practice
