Game Day: Wizards (11-20) @ Suns (19-12), Tues 12/20/22

[Flagrant Fowl]

Can we keep the winning streak alive?

If they win, absolutely.

What if they lose?

There's a decent chance of another losing streak with Denver sandwiched by Memphis in the next three games. At least they'll have a chance for revenge against the Wiz soon enough.

Oof

The comments are very encouraging. People are starting to see through Monty's BS. I just hope and pray Mat does, too.

Your Monty hate is weird….He’s the best coach we’ve had in my lifetime.

Forget his job as a whole for a moment. Do you not agree that tonight's L was on him?

Not really. I think our defense fell apart. Should he have called a timeout earlier? Probably, but no guarantee that would have changed anything…in fact I think the problems were still there after he did call a timeout. Our players also just missed everything for 4 minutes straight.

Monty can’t make the players play better. I also don’t think this game was that big of a deal…don’t really care that we lost

What about leaving Paul in and essentially playing 4 on 5?

Well he did that over the course of multiple playoff games and won the series.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Sure seems like there's plenty of blame on Ayton's plate for this mishap.

But sure, #FireMonty

It is too bad we wasted Shamet’s career night.

[INFORMER]

You can't lose a game in which Landry Shamet nets you 31 points.

[Flagrant Fowl]

This is good for the Kuzma sweepstakes. I think Avdija is turning into a really solid player and giving him more responsibility in the second half of this season would be good for the Wiz.

There are Suns fans. And there are Ayton fans.

Wanna bet?

Ya it’s a big meh…we never would’ve lost this game if we are healthy. Add Booker and it’s not close. Even just Okogie would’ve helped stop Beal.

I'm sure James Jones is thinking the same thing. And that's the problem.

Is it really though? We're in December.

If the trade deadline passes and we're still watching the same roster, then I'll wonder what's going on in the front office.

[Wally_West]

I’m sorry, but this is completely Monty’s fault. Monty should’ve let Ayton play point once Paul got hurt and Mikal should’ve been screening for him!! But sounds like you guys don’t know ball…

Well he did that over the course of multiple playoff games and won the series.

Haha…there really wasn’t another option anyways

Resilient effort to get back in that one then they shit the bed. Monty included.

Ayton had a nice game until he was totally outplayed by Taj Gibson in the 4th.

Nice to see Shamet with an offensive pulse tonight. Sadly it was wasted.

Not panicking at the loss but these injuries are really piling up.

I do think we should use that last roster spot, but I’m not worried about the roster yet. FF said it, I’ll be upset if this is the roster after the trade deadline.

D@mn !

D.A. and Monty again ?

Sheesh

[INFORMER]

39 1/2 minutes for Bridges tonight.

32 minutes for Ayton.

It's completely unexplainable.

Yeah, it is explainable. Okogie is out. CamJ is out. We have Ish backing up Craig and Bridges. Ayton has a good backup that played well tonight. So yeah, it is explainable that Bridges played more minutes.

[JeremyG]

But sure, #FireMonty

Lol just because DA takes responsibility and Monty doesn't, you all put the blame on him. It was one freaking play and there was plenty of time for the team to recover from his mistake and reset things even on that same play (18 seconds left on the shot clock).
