I'm reminded of a line from Rocky in which Apollo's manager tells him, "You think it's a show, he thinks it's a damn fight."

Obviously, the Wizards think it's a fight.

I fell asleep early then wake up to this. I guess some people are just going to say this was Thibs master plan and he now knew Kolek was ready. That was the same excuse used to protect Thibs with McBride. Enough protecting him. The man has a serious problem that need to be pointed out. Just like with Huk and McBride it was obvious Kolek would contribute if actually given a legit try.

Edit: Ignore the 3 steals I was told Kolek is the worst defender in NBA history as a reason to protect Thibs.

Not mentioned here: Kolek getting cooked by Marcus Smart/Richaun Holmes pick and roll in his 2nd half stint.

Still this was an encouraging outing.

Bridges getting 24 in the 1st half and no FGs and 3 pts in the 2nd. Where did he go? Turnover machine in the 2nd half too.

KAT also not asserting himself. Was taken out of the game by Richaun Holmes. Didnt box out. Dominated Sarr after we got back up double digits.

Hart missing layups. Seems physically off still.

OG the only starter I wont criticize, but he got into foul trouble early or would have had a bigger game. Unreal 4th quarter defensive sequence.
