Kyle Kuzma drops 30 points in a 118-104 Wizards victory. Spurs preview.

What’s good wizards fans the Washington Wizards beat the Detroit Pistons 118 to 104 and KY kma’s homecoming let’s talk about it you are locked on Wizards your daily Washington Wizards podcast part of the locked on podcast Network your team every day Want to thank you guys for making locked on Wizards your first list every day we’re are free and available wherever you get Podcast and big reason I call it KY kma’s homecoming because it is he is from Michigan and also the kman foundation where the broadcast showed

His mom and the shirts a lot where the kma foundation it’s a nonprofit organization that strives to positively impact the lives of single mothers and enhance the lives of their children then Kyle kma did donate $1 million to the YMCA as well so he’s done a lot of good

Things in the community for sure back in his hometown so it’s always good to see that from a player in k kma a good guy doing that um and he came up big with 30 points in a win over the we know it’s the Detroit Pistons we get it but you

Know win is a win is a win and Coach Chief Keith got his first win so Brandon what was your uh reaction to the game and what were some reasons why the Wizards came out with with um big I mean Renewed Energy man I mean Renewed Energy

This was a yeah I get it it’s against the Detroit pons but you’ll take a win and especially in this type of fashion man good team Victory uh look at at team stats uh shot 45% to their 43 32% we limited them to 28% from three rebound

Wise we won the battle the rebound well we they out rebounds about one but looking at offensive rebounds We outrebounded Them 16 to1 um more ball movement which which led to 26 assists they got 17 turnovers which led to 21 points off turnovers and because we outrebounding them offensive rebounds

Led to 21 Second Chance points compared to their 10 so team wise we they we play really good basketball now looking at individually looking at the starting five obviously the Flintstone himself handing out of Flintstone Michigan Kyle kman dropping 30 points six rebounds four assists 13 for 27 overall and three

For 13 so I get it a lot of shot volume but look man you know back home got the victory so I’m not going to damp at a moment but definitely dropping 30 points is big in this Victory uh Jordan P 17 points shooting six for2 three for six

From uh three-point so he was definitely definitely efficient which is always the big knock against Jordan p and he’s you see a lot more better efficiency from him uh Daniel Gafford led to the rebounds 15 points 13 rebounds three Steals and looking at Denny um Denny

Overall had a pretty pretty good game um just 10 points but five rebounds did shoot four for eight for the field and one for one from three so he was efficient and tyus Jones doing what he does man contributing 12 points but nine assists two steals one blocks so his

Vision man really shine tonight or that night against the Pistons and looking at the second unit the the bench came through in the clutch in my opinion Marvin bagy Jr or Jor Marvin B the third um 13 points eight rebounds two assists and he he’s starting he’s been looking

Really good in Wizard’s uniform uh Cory kissper and Bel kabali both eight points but Bel kabali contributed seven rebounds which was big because you that is one thing that we don’t say a lot about below Kabal his his abilities to rebound is is really impressive for a

Young player so this was a good scene Victory man overall they played well the energy was there um coaching changes man can vary either you’ll see Renewed Energy or you will see more of what led to the coach getting fired and in in instant uh Brian Keef getting his first

Care Victory definitely congrats to him um his first time hit coach and they they Renewed Energy they came through they and again yeah I get this Detroit but look this is the NBA is is a league of professional so you know we say it in football you know um Any Given Sunday in

The NBA anybody beat anybody man if you look at other games there’s a few other upsets in the NBA so anybody can win any given night um so this is a a much needed victory for this team because again lot going on in organization you know obviously the trade dead lines

Coming up so a lot of these vets will you know probably gonna be on another team in about a couple weeks um new hit coach you know he’s interim so he’s definitely he’s coach of his job obviously because if he does well his name could definitely be in

Consideration from being the head coach going forward so a lot of people are either you know playing to see what their placees in this organization going forward they’re looking for the next contract next team you know a lot of people playing for a lot and lot going

On but this was just be U much excuse me much needed victory in Detroit oh definitely yeah Chief keep is his first win and um like you said we know it’s the Detroit Pistons but um the Pistons have played hard as of late you know ever since that 27 game losing

Street they played a lot harder they still have talent with Kade Jaylen Duren uh he just had a really good game today as well where he had uh 20 the Pistons just beat the OKC Thunder 120 to 104 and the O OKC is the thunder of 32 and 14 so

You know you you can’t you can’t just dismiss this win that the Wizards had yesterday especially when they do things like that to a legitimate playoff team with hey chat Jaylen Williams they have a lot of good players on the Thunder Jaylen Durant had 22 points and 21

Rebounds so the Wizards aren’t the only team that lets jayen Durant get a bunch of rebounds even though Jaylen Durant ended up with 18 boards but um just looking at the team effort man um just the the defense showed up in that fourth quarter it was huge like uh they got a

Big stop Denny made a really nice pass to Gafford they had a couple transition points in the fourth quarter um the second unit Marvin baggley was huge his offensive rebound he’s just been a great pick up for the Washington Wizards his offensive rebounding scoring in the paint knocked down some free throws did

Miss a couple free throws here and there but him knocking down those free throws and then uh KZ was huge down in the fourth as well getting to the basket uh guys just really couldn’t guard him at all he had a nice tank he had a nice

Take to the basket a dunk versus Jay iy hit a big shot with two minutes left and took the lead where we went up 111 to 101 then Denny had a nice bounce pass to Gafford for a transition dunk then we took the lead 113 101 so Brian Keefe

Showed how to finish a game where yeah a lot of times with West we just weren’t able to finish games and our largest lead was about 15 points and those are the games that we usually find ways to L to lose so that’s one thing I’ll give uh

Brian Keefe some some credit for and once again I get is the Pistons we actually outrebounded the Pistons 50 to 45 we actually scored more points in the paint to them against them 64 to 44 um assists we move the ball 26 assists yes Cruz did take some

Questionable shots down the stretch too and uh Jordan P he was he was big in the first half too he had a a couple a couple plays where he scored in some isolation baskets where I thought he did a good job and he was a little bit more

Under control than what than what he has been in the past for sure um scoring wise he shot six for 12 this is one of his better games he was a plus 25 17 points and guess what Jordan P had zero turnovers excuse me Attias Jones had nine

Assists um Denny had a nice play where he blocked Monte Morris where we’ve seen you know Monte Morris talk some talk some stuff on Twitter before so this was the Wizard’s first time playing against Monte but and then Gafford 15 and 13 I thought he played played a tough game

This is the kind of way that we want to see him play getting offensive rebounds just put backs finishing around the rim 15 and 13 yes once again Duren had 18 boards but Gafford played his part and got a double double baggley played as part 13 points eight boards um and bow

Shows some flashers with seven boards eight points he had a nice stop on Kade where he made some good defensive plays here as well two assists and uh one still tus had a big and one down the stretch where it basically was like a dagger kind of play where we haven’t we

Haven’t had we haven’t seen them have a dagger type of play to end the game in a long time that’s that’s the kind of play that Tai has made there so um good win I mean like I said I get us the Pistons but this was a good win a much needed

Win kman putting up a 30 ball in his homecoming game um so they needed it and uh we know a lot of people are not armed right now because everybody’s watching football right now but we want to thank you guys for listening for sure but yeah

For a game to be at 12 o’ on a Saturday they they had to get their juices going and energy going I I didn’t even know it was at noon until really the night before I thought it was another late game yeah but I was like Saturday at 12

Oh man and um I had to watch the replay but um yeah this this was a good win it was a good effort good all around even D Wright I’m not gonna say even d w but D Wright came in he had a nice fast break

Layup in the steel um so a good team effort man good team Cory K had a couple buckers down the stretch they didn’t have a defensive belt like West Jr did in the past but you know I’ll take it win is a win is a win Absolutely I’ll

Take it I’ll take a dub man like I said um kman always plays well in Detroit obviously he’s from Flint Michigan so he always plays hard against the Pistons man um Denny man I I feel like a lot of his passes his vision he shows a lot of

Good Vision man and that’s what I you know depending on what direction you choose to go after the deadline as far as responsibility and Fit I do want to see the ball in his hands a lot more and definitely see what he can do with that Vision after the deadline and uh Gafford

And bag um again you know I know the trade deadline’s coming up you know a lot of names being floated but they are an intriguing onew tandem at the front court at the center position man they really are I mean they kind of their game the games just are a little

Different but they both I like seeing that those two man I mean I really do they’re really good tandom uh we both complained a lot about the lack of depth and I still believe we need a third Center but those two men they’re they are a really good tandem one two punch

At the center position man so um this this is a really good team Victory I mean we needed this this Victory uh cuz looking for four we got a Spurs I think that’s a really winnable game we played them tough and we lost late in the

Fourth quarter last time so um we’ll see if we can get a street going man see if we can sneak a win here in uh San Antonio because I think it’s a very very winnable game yeah Gafford and Bagley they combined for 11 offensive rebounds yesterday against the Pistons so that’s

A lot of offensive boards against you know you know a tough Center and Jaylen Durant Isaiah Stewart you know he’s he’s a strong guy and you know Center SL power forward so um those guys are B excuse me battling and playing hard so you you’d love to see that any any night

The San Antonio Spurs oh easy man uh looking at the team stats um we are 16th and points per game the Spurs are 23rd man so I definitely think this should be we uh should definitely make them keep pace and score with us man uh push the pace uh fluid ball movement definitely

Tried to uh push Pace in perimeter or not perimeter in transition and definitely try to get their defense off balance uh another stat to look at rebounds per game um definitely they are 21st or 30th so definitely you know wiim Yama man he’s one of those guys man

Where can’t completely shut him down but you know he’s definitely a pest but we got to win the battle of the rebounds um like I said this is a very winable game in my opinion so definitely win the battle of the rebounds and finally turnovers per game they are 28th we are

20th um so they commit a lot of turnovers so definitely let’s try to get in the passing Lanes get some intensity on defense definitely work on the communication defense and getting back down the court getting set up quicker um definitely get ready for them because a

Lot of teams they cook Us in transition so definitely get down the court getting set up so those are the much uh three keys to Victory all development rather and I think that it’s a winable game so I’m gonna I’m gonna go ahead we haven’t predicted many games but um because it

Is the San Antonio Spurs I’m gonna say we win this game I think that we’re gonna get a dub in San Antonio it’s gonna be a close one but we’re gonna win yeah I think it’s certainly a winnable game for sure it’s a game that they really should have won last time

They played in DC they were winning basically the majority of the game they’re up by 10 really in the fourth quarter and they found a way to lose uh kma took a really um excuse me elevi shot down the St stretch and they came down and finished still the game off uh

And then you know Victor excuse me he’s going to be a tough cover of course Devon Vel Kellin Johnson Trey Jones the brother of tus Jones so this is a this is another good matchup like you said um points uh per game allowed they’re not a good

Defensive team at all so this could be a track meet this could be a game where we see 120 like in the 120s 130s they’re fourth in pace so they push the pace a lot we like to the Wizards like to push the pace a lot too so this could be up

And down game but they got a rebound once again they got to defend without fouling they got to be physical wimy they got a rebound for sure wimy um Bagley and Gafford as well and um shot selction is gonna be key man they gotta make smart decisions down the stretch so I’m I’m

Intrigued to see how Brian Keefe uh coaches this game against Greg papovich just finishing the game because I feel like we’re going to jump out to a lead against them I know it’s going to be hard to win in San Antonio even though they’re not you know they’re not the San

Antonio of old but I feel like we’re going to jump out to a lead it’s just how we how we have to finish the game so ball movement um defense rebound scor the paint Jordan pool being under control um getting balal involved as always oh yeah and I think this is

Another big game for baggley I think I see a double double coming up for him I see another double double for baggley um coming up for him and then I don’t see anybody that can really stop kma on the Spurs either so ball move is goingon to be

Huge and uh like said getting back on defense defending defending uh the three-point line even though the Spurs they’re not a good three-point shooting team they’re 29th and three-point shooting Sohan Jeremy Sohan he really hurt the Wizards last game look at the stats from the

Last game I feel like he had like almost 30 points he just went crazy excuse me against the Wizards uh let’s see where’s that Spurs versus 131 127 so like I said it’s gonna be a track meet again another high scoring game Sohan had

23 he had 23 and yeah he had 23 and wmy had 24 Trey Jones had 11 and 12 assists yeah vassel had 21 and Kell Jones had 19 so um yeah we’re gonna have to really find a way to to to to slow Sohan down and then contain wm’s wimy so he’s gonna

Get his he’s gonna get his 20 points and eight boards but uh you got to slow some of the other guys down like Sohan you can’t let Sohan go eight for 11 again like he did last year oh absolutely not I would like to see bow against him and

Guard him because they’re like similar yeah similar frames you know with height and athleticism so I think that would be a good excuse me a good match up oh same here same here um something else to look at Perimeter defense and inerior defense rotations have to get quicker um because

You got to be a balanced defense man usually uh when we when we win the battle of the paint we give up defense as far as a lot of open looks on the perimeter so having that balance is what we’re looking at because if you look at

This teami U they have they got some Shooters man Deon vassel cooked us last time in at Capital One Man um if you look at her bench Doug mcder shooter Kellin Johnson can definitely spread the floor um Trey Jones can shoot a little bit I mean so shoot champagne man cooked

Us on the perimeter so I mean you got guys who are definitely gonna cook us on the perimeter man so definitely periment defense but we’ve got to win the battle of the paint too that’s important because you know wiama are you really gonna stop the guy n man I mean that gu

What 75 I mean does whatever he wants to do uh so yeah I think this is a winable game I really do I think this is is a big culture win man because um they’re trying to I mean like I said there’s a lot going on with this organization

Going you know we’re close to the deadline because look deadline is February 8th so you know moves are definitely coming so you know definitely with interim coach a lot going on but this is I think the these two would be much needed victories if we get a win

Against the Spurs so um yeah I think that rotations that if they just be active defensively and I think if they’re active and get in past things we have a chance to win this game so um so we’re going to get into comments and I know everybody trying to watch football

The call yeah I mean like I said it’s flu season guys I’ve had this call for excuse me for about the past you know couple weeks but I’m good guys thank you straight up straight up I’m good straight up straight up I’m good man and uh you know I’m I’m recovering for sure

I am good you know I actually play basketball yesterday at my school alumni game so I am good I’m good I made it through the whole game scored a couple points I basically almost had a double double so I’m good guys but thank you for checking in I’m good all right uh

Whiz kid forever I see a new energy on the floor more talking high five excuse me in teamwork a lot of missed shots but I’ll take the effort anytime change as a mentality good yeah Will Dawkins said they needed a new voice said they needed a new a new voice the defense wasn’t

Good enough now I know Brian Keef’s first game or AKA Chief Keef his first game coach Chief Keef was not good it was a loss we got blown out but um you know the effort yesterday you love the effort they were getting Stills deflections fast rate points moving the

Ball uh finishing around the rim you know guys rotating on defense in that fourth quarter of course the first half was rough it was a bad defensive game for each team there were 60 points given up in the first half was like 61 to 62 at halftime which is which is a pretty

Good amount of points for one half but um yeah I mean you can see the energy I think they they just needed a change they just needed a change sometimes it’s just time for a change even if the team is not you know we’re not looking for

The playoffs they still just they just needed a change they they needed it bad and uh Keef has a good resume Kevin Durant said some good things about him oh yeah you know you saw what defensively what he did with the Lakers they were 30th the year before he got

There and then when he when he got there they went to 12 uh def Me Def L with their defensive rating so um the excuse me you give him a year with the team maybe he could transition into the full-time head coach so I do want to see

Them give him a I do want Will Dawkins to give him a fair shot but if there are better options out there like you said Brandon boen holes mik boen holder um you know I think Sam Cassel I think he should get a shot I like Sam Cassel a

Lot I feel like he deserves to get an interview Kenny ainon from the Warriors oh yeah there’s a lot of good guys that are going to be available this all season so but um Keith I I like what he did yesterday oh absolutely you know he he definitely he’s got experience he

Knows what he’s doing so um he he’s definitely going to have the opportunity to showcase what he can do the rest of the year because like I said trade deadline coming up so it’s gonna be a younger team after the deadline so it’s gonna be intriguing to see what he does

With a young roster um another name to kind of throw out there is Jaan Howard from coach current coach of the University of Michigan obviously a former Washington Bulls player uh you know there’s been you know several people have mentioned his name so we have a lot of options man um like you

Said Kenny ainson s Cel was um actually the choice of Bradley Bill so that was the guy that Bradley Bill wanted to hire so we got choices man but um we got the opportunity to find the right coach to be the captain the ship going for man so

There’s a lot of options a lot of opportunities for this new front office but looking at what you’re saying yeah new energy man but here’s you know that’s the thing we’ll see how long it lasts because like I said lot going on with organization man I mean trade

Deadline going on you know a lot of people a lot of these vets could be on another on another team a couple weeks so we’ll see yeah that’s true and also um you know West started out 10 and three so we all know how West started

Out he started off hot and um it just went all down it all went downhill so we can’t we can’t you know it’s the honeymoon phase for Brian Keefe right now so um you know I don’t want to jump to any conclusions on him Jaan Howard is an intriguing uh candidate for

Sure right now they are seven Michigan they’re seven and 13 right now so they won seven games at 13 last year they were 18 and 16 the year before 19 and 15 yeah and then the year before that 23 and5 the year before that 19 and 12 so

Joan he had two good season he’s had two Good Seasons so far with Michigan they have a losing record right now he did slap somebody in the face um say yeah it was the Wisconsin’s Co Wisconsin’s coach I remember that he just slap somebody in

The face but overall you know he he you know he’s had some good moments heck of a player of course I think he’s a good basketball mind so he’s somebody that considered too um so yeah I I mean we’ll see he he definitely could be up for the

Running as well there’s a possib oh he’s slapping folk hey come on we need some fire in the building come on man I know I would have loved to see him uh you know in the locker room with Tre and those guys for sure that would be my

Only question interiew did you slap somebody yes sir come on I’ll show your office man so we definitely need more dogs here in DC man right Brandon 1906 we will pick Sor in a draft this year will make a lot of sense too Bagley and Gafford are auditioning for backup

Sorry next year we would trade right Shaman and Jones this denline um starting with SAR I mean oh I’ll get to that um getting the SAR man um that’s the guy I’m targeting in the draft man and like I see a lot of people are low on this draft you know

Because it’s a highly developed on the draft not a lot of guys are going to be able to come in right away and you know if we pick up SAR I don’t expect him to start right away now looking at the contracts um kind of the direction this

Hit this front office is going I think they like little hood of Gafford being moved either the deadline offseason is very high um because baggley you know he he’s got one year so you’ll take one year develop SAR and see what you know we can do starting in year two but um

But yeah I think you’re right on all points now who’s going to get traded I mean dine to me is 50-50 Shaman I think is gone tus is gone and I think right now you know kusma his his value is at at alltime high right now I mean if you

Have a chance to move him if the right Deal’s there don’t move him just to move him but if the right Deal’s there definitely move him but if he’s not we don’t have be in a rush to move kman but I agree on All Points yeah he said back then Gaff for

Backup starter next year we will trade right sh yeah I think everybody’s gonna be traded as far as Delon shm tus uh for sure there was actually a report saying that um I forgot who it came from saying that they that the the owners have a

Excuse me mandate that they have to get picked yeah and that there is interest in Denny as well I’m trying I’m trying toy I know I sent it to you yeah on Twitter um we can talk about that more on on um Tuesday we’re gonna talk about uh the potential interest in Quinton

Grimes from the Knicks and uh we’ll probably talk about ex me that report too but um yeah um that was from Brian wior actually so that’s a legitimate Source there oh yeah absolutely um saying that the Wizards have a mandate from ownership to acquire more draft

Picks of the tra down line per W and that I mean win I’m sorry Wind Horse and that um tyus Jones and Denny AIA were two players mentioned generating interest on the market so yes tyus Jones definitely is gonna be gone that’s not even a question Wright’s gonna be gone

And uh shm yeah of course shim’s gonna be gone too uh SAR yeah I mean he’s he’s an intriguing Prospect too he’s a very versatile big man can shoot the three can get to the basket and all that um one of the new modern day type type of

Big men for sure and then Bagley and GA I think gafford’s going too I think he’s going I gota look at his see how many years he has left but uh if not by this deadline then certainly in in the offseason there’s a couple of teams that

Have been um calling the Wizards for him I just want to see when the last year of his deal is yeah he’s a 2026 free agent so he’s still got one more year he’s actually got two more years he’s got 25 and 26 so he’s got two years on his contract

Left yeah I mean a lot of names are involved in as far as our guys man I mean tus has been linked kusman has been linked gafford’s been linked to Dallas New York um it you know obviously we’re gonna talk about it but look there some people are saying that Utah Jazz prefer

Denny over Kyle kma man so there’s been a lot of about you know Utah Jazz being interested in Denny so we’re have an opportunity to really tear this roster down now you know there are obviously some people that I like to see stay I mean BL obviously is an Untouchable uh

Kissper you know you haven’t seen too much of Buzz with him but um every te he’s a shooter so I you know I definitely see him being a piece of stay Denny 50-50 on him being moved I you know with his age I don’t see the Rush Moving Denny because he’s still young

Still needs to be um he still needs develop further so I think that he could stay but I mean look Money Talks so I mean Utah brings a package good enough man I mean the wizes would be fools not to say yes so this is going to be a lot

Of moving pieces a lot of new prospects coming in um obviously ownership they definitely want picks a lot more picks and they’re not really cool with the 2024 draft so you definitely 2025 2026 are going to be the draft pick uh years you’re goingon to be looking at them

Trying to get picks for but um I think the biggest thing man is we have options we haven’t had options man you know this time last year we were start talking about Bradley Bill’s contract now now now that’s somebody else’s problem right now so we have a lot of cat room going

Forward man we have a lot of capabilities we just have to kind of rearrange things now obviously we still have question after the deadline the long term what is Jordan pool’s place in his organization but that you know we got plenty of time and episodes for that

So um biggest thing is we have a lot of options so right 110% so last comment here let’s see here oh yeah Armon says hi immediately excuse me Edward Moore yeah the stat about Jordan P’s defensive players don’t shoot well and turn the ball over when guarding by him not

Saying he’s guarding the best player but it’s a good sign yeah I haven’t seen that stat but yeah I would love to see it man if you if you um want to send it to us on Twitter or something like that or yeah I mean definitely do that I want

To see it and talk about it for sure I know a lot of people give Jordan PA a hard time especially about his plus minus he historically has one of the worst plus minus I know some people don’t believe in that stat anyway but um

No I would love to see that I want to see anything positive about Jordan P I would love to see it uh Arman says hire Joan Howard immediately we need a coach willing to slide people around so yeah I mean you know I I you know I don’t I

Don’t condone violence and stuff like that but uh you know I think Joan Howard would definitely get guys straight for sure Jord Joan Howard he wouldn’t be my first he wouldn’t be my first option but you know I think it would be he would be somebody to consider you know um just

Has to keep his you know temper and emotions of course with this the slap and uh he had to one good season where they did go to the Elite 8 um onion 77 says uh Mark Jackson so we’ll see about that Mark Jackson retirement but uh yeah there there’s a

Couple names you can throw out throw out there for sure and then um yeah there’s a couple names you can throw out there for sure yeah there’s a lot of names out there man but you know like I said man we have options we have not always had

Options so um my my number one is obviously B holder man I think if you definitely swing High you swing for B holder man because he helped build the Atlanta Hawks team and you know accountability and defense are prioritized I think that’s what this team needs man somebody’s going to hold

People to a standard so yeah this new front office man I’m definitely definitely swinging for the fenses for the next head coach but who knows man Brian Keefe has experience I mean he has you know when you got KD saying I owe a lot to this guy what’s that tell you

Because KD is a Hall of Fame guy man I mean he’s to you know for most people if not there’s something wrong with you he’s definitely a Hall of Fame player so for him to say that says a lot so um I think he’s he’s got the opportunity to

Showcase what he can do and who knows he could be the next head coach so you know we’ll see but you know there definitely broader times ahead for this team in my opinion so yeah definitely yeah but we’re goingon to wrap up we want to thank you guys for listening especially

  1. Ball hog Kuz should be traded so the rebuild with ball movement can begin. Keeping Kuz makes it harder to change the culture. 27 attempts for 30 pts? That was bad basketball 😅😂

  2. Kuz takes to many 3s should drive to the paint and try to go to the line more. that way he will be more efficient and allow to win vs better opponents.
    Deni should be playing the point forward more. they used him that way the last month but not at those 2 last games… Its a coach change but that was something that worked well for WUJ so keep it.
    JP had an efficient game. thats important.
    MB3 is very efficient player. should start after the deadline.
    I wanna see BC & DA take 12-15 shots a game. Bilal is very young but Deni also just turned 23 now and can be part of the rebuild.

  3. Kuz was 13 for 27. One attempt below 50%. He took only 2 FTs. ??????? His 3 point shooting was AWLFUL. 3 put of 13. G league level. REFs need school! Bilal played 31 minutes, that’s more than Wes played him. Probably what the bosses want. He still doesn’t shoot well, he does play tough D.

  4. Wizards need a coach with attitude, Unseld obviously could care less about winning, no voice, nothing. Just walks around the sideline like he's enjoying a beautiful Spring day no matter what the score. Has no business coaching in the NBA . Maybe a high school team would be good fit for him. Wizards need an angry, aggressive S.O.B. to set them straight. Juwan Howard might work out based on his feistiness with Michigan as coach.

  5. We should be able to beat the spurs. I think we can as well. We just gotta show sum effort. I think we have more talent overall than the spurs. A 2 game win streak will be good for morale
