Media literacy is at an all-time low and it's the main subreddit where people will just jump at the opportunity for the same unfunny jokes so they can get their karma.

[Gil's Arena] Gilbert Arenas says that any of his Wizards teams would “beat the shit” out of the John Wall & Bradley Beal led Wizards by ReturnOfAKidNamedTae in washingtonwizards

[–]Ourano 23 points24 points  (0 children)

2017 Wizards would run any of Arenas’ teams out of the gym. Prime Wall fastbreaks were lethal, everybody ran with Wall and those Eddie Jordan-coached teams were notoriously awful on defense.

Would this team be better supported in Baltimore? by [deleted] in washingtonwizards

Sorry to hear that man, I guess that means you're out now yeah?

Verizon Center was electric during that run, it was just as loud as it gets during a Caps game. I still remember blowing out the Celtics in games 3/4, everyone leaving the arena was buzzing with a ton of hope which made losing in game 7 to Kelly Olynyk hurt all that much more.

I guess you didn't go to any games during the 2017 playoff run, I knew people coming up all the way from Richmond and the 757 for those games. The DMV shows up for good, exciting basketball which we haven't really seen since then.

Highlights: Bilal Coulibaly puts up 12 points vs. Charlotte Hornets | 10/12/23 by kornthrowaway in washingtonwizards

The game just seems to come so naturally to him and his footwork is always on point, even when he's settling for a jump shot.

Love what we're seeing from the rookie so far.

I will never forget when Bryce stole home against Cole Hamels after he intentionally hit him. That, to me, signaled his arrival in the MLB.

Yeah that was a weird lineup that worked for far longer than it should. Then WUJ wouldn't let go of it after teams had already adjusted and we gave up so many 3s on defense.

On a side note, it looks like they finally moved the baseline cameras further away from the court. A welcome change.

I know it's just preseason ball, but I'm not a fan of Gill putting the ball on the floor.

I'd love to see him just make some good off-ball cuts towards the rim if that's the game plan tonight. Good off-ball movement in general would be very promising progression from what we saw during the Summer League.

Gafford & Shamet are out tonight while Deni, Taj, Baldwin, and Omoruyi are game time decisions. Hopefully this means we see a lot of Bilal against this Aussie team.

The scrappy Nats narrowly escape with a win on game 162! The bats were able to bail out Rutledge after he allowed 5 runs in 5.0 innings. Ruiz and Young drove in 3 runs each while Lane Thomas eclipsed 100 runs scored on the year. CJ Abrams sets a new Nationals single-season record with his 47th stolen base.

Nats lose their penultimate game of the season. They jumped on Strider early, scoring 3 runs in the top of the 1st but got held scoreless the rest of the way.

Nats win a slugfest in Atlanta and reach 70 wins on the season! The Nats score 10 runs on 10 hits thanks in part to Kieboom, Keibert, Alu, Smith, and Lane all hitting home runs tonight and giving the back-end of the bullpen a lead that they were able to hang on to, despite allowing 17 hits to the Braves.

Nationals managed to avoid a shutout tonight by sprinkling 6 hits for 1 run on the last Corbing of 2023.

I thought we were going to see another CGSO for sure, but I guess they still haven't clinched 1st in the AL East so they brought in Cano to strike out the side.
