AJ Dybantsa and the Wizards are DANGEROUS in Transition | Tre Johnson’s MICROWAVE Role Revealed
The Washington Wizards put on an OFFENSIVE SHOW against the Detroit Pistons, exploding for 40 first-quarter points and showcasing just how dangerous this team can be in transition!
Led by Trae Young’s playmaking, AJ Dybantsa’s athleticism, and Tre Johnson’s red-hot shooting, Washington overwhelmed Detroit early. The Wizards scored 21 fast-break points in the first half, while Johnson provided an instant spark off the bench with 12 points and FOUR three-pointers in under 11 minutes!
But it wasn’t all positive. Washington committed 13 first-half turnovers and watched a 20-point lead shrink to just six at halftime. Can Brian Keefe get the half-court offense clicking, or will chemistry and spacing remain major concerns?

Sorry I dropped off at the end, they unplugged my ethernet😂 – Ben
What has stuck out to you through 2 preseason games?
I understood Trae’s ejection! The NBA wanted him out the game
What’s with the lack of half court touches for Aj it gets even worse when Trae is off the court, Kyshawn backup pg experiment is Also not it
Man the Wizards need to bring back Steve and Phil for the broadcasts. I like Chris but he's not it.
The thing that sticks out to me after the 2 games is AJ is only 9-21 fg and 0-5 3pt? He also shot bad in the summer league?
We need a back up pg with some speed.
Last time i had this much fun watching a wizards team was post slump 2017 wizards , cant believe i had to wait an entire decade for another roster i enjoyed watching but man this is the most well rounded roster i have had in my life as a wizards fan
This team is going to get 40 + wins 10000 percent
Yalls podcast bouta explode this season, been listening since before the trae young trade so very happy for yall
Wizards pistons rivalry in the future?
The Pistons revealed how thuggish they really are. The Association must rein them in; they will injure players!
The pistons are jealous bro their team didn't really get better like our team have haters bro nothing but
Ben went to Chipotle 😮😂
Loving the Wizards in transition – they are playing downhill with decisiveness and aggression! They need to spread the court and chill in the half court though. They look a little discombobulated right now as if everybody thinking they’re option #1.
I’m still soooo disappointed in AJs long range and 3pt jump shot. He keeps saying work, work work but his jumper still looks the same as it did in summer league.
