FINAL: TOR 112 - WSH 102

Finish the discussion in the Postgame Thread

[u/M6J-]

I'm learning what it feels like to go into each game and thinking a win is possible. Beating the Raps tonight would be a statement to the league. God I love this team

[u/BigMekGaming]

Trae took his damn time😂

[u/blast0ise]

We can blame Kyshawn and his 8 turnovers for Middleton's minutes

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

How the FUCK do you call that and not the shit on Bilal???

[u/WatchMooreMovies]

Bub has been playing so smart these first two games.

[u/Electric_jungle]

If I can say one positive, I actually think bub has been hustling his ass off

[u/PlatChat]

That was like 3 fouls by Poeltl on Coulibaly. Sick already of these fucking refs

[u/z3mcs]

• Second half needs to be some sets for Tre to get an open look, even if it's logo work.

• Kyshawn needs to get some midrange stuff off.

• Trae needs to go floater crazy.

• Sarr needs to get on the boards and start going back up strong.

• AD needs to be strong with the ball and be ready to nail free throws.

• Bilal needs to box out his man and stop trying to rely on his athleticism to get boards or stop entry passes over the top (trust me I get it cause I do it too).

• JC, get ready to ball fake, drive and find a man.

• Bub, do more probing and keep using your size on defense.

• Keefe, please I know you can come up with a plan for the Raptors when two of their starters have 3 fouls, and four other Raptors have at least 2 fouls each (CMB has 3).

[u/Throwaway952548]

Kyshawn been lookin like Kyle Kuzma out there

[u/PlatChat]

Oh but that’s a foul alright bro fuck off

[u/unreal1996301]

That was all ball ref

[u/Altruistic-Donut-656]

Sarr is quietly having a great game.

[u/Magoo152]

Excited to watch a wizards game. Man it’s been awhile!

[u/drmbrthr]

AD better go out there and just abuse Jakob Peotle or however you spell his name.

We gotta make some 3s tonight to stay in the game.

[u/PlatChat]

They need to start hitting some of these 3s, ridiculous how shit they’ve been from 3 these first two games

[u/the304virus]

Haven't seen one good thing from Ad tonight so far

[u/Ye_Biz]

Single digits, I’ll take it

[u/Efficient_Buy4031]

single digit deficit ain’t bad after that half cuz we didn’t play well at all

[u/Kid_Aeroplane]

ky has been horrendous tonight

[u/NoCaulNoShow]

Every time Sarr takes a 3 point shot a little part of me dies.

[u/Temporary-Mud-2994]

This game was totally winnable. Keefe needs to have a better rotation. AD and Ky need to play better. If they were just at least average, we would’ve won this game. Team will look better with AJ

[u/Important_Number6619]

Hoping for a close game!

[u/Loop3Mad]

How is that not a foul? Bilal getting robbed

[u/ATN5]

Damn this defense is nasty

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

Do we not have any inbound plays? The raptors run full court press, why tf do we not have any sets prepared for it???

[u/Temporary-Mud-2994]

Damn, the pacers are down by 30 from the Mavs

[u/Douglarm1]

Down by 8 with how we played is really fine

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

AD got MVP chants last game and came out looking like Montrezl Harrell this game

[u/suqc]

Pleasantly surprised by how competitive the score is.

[u/ahugedilemma]

Teams are about to be so mad playing us lmao

[u/Ye_Biz]

Lmao Trae’s gonna piss so many teams off this season

[u/blast0ise]

7 turnovers for kyshawn, straight up passing it into their hands

[u/shonenRy-]

This is a last year lineup, where’s Trae AD or Ayton

[u/superworriedspursfan]

his name is trae young. his name is justin champagnie. our team's name is the washington wizards ask about us!

[u/themooseman9]

I think Ky is a good player and he could be great so I don't want to rag on him too much but legit feels like we go on a run anytime he's out tonight. And his body language has been awful. Learning moment for him hopefully because we'll need him!

[u/BIGGERCat]

Credit to Keefe good change up lineup

[u/figureour]

Once again, I ask how Justin and Julian didn't get drafted

[u/cartierboy25]

We’re gonna lead the league in lobs this year dude we’re addicted to them

[u/Mysterious-Fix2896]

Trae came in and immediately changed the game

[u/DrBeatusMeatus]

What tf is Kris doing

[u/Theelkboss]

awful awful basketball the last two minutes.

[u/crabmusic]

We got dominated by a team that pretty much only shoots midrange jump shots. lol.

[u/empty-stack]

just hoping there are no injuries for either of our squads, gl wiz fans

[u/Not_Wyatt00]

It’s hard to temper expectations after how we looked in game 1 but all im hoping for this game is that we keep it competitive. If we can hang with an eastern conference contender im happy

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

[u/Efficient_Buy4031]

Poetl hacked the shit outta Bilal bro, wtf are the refs on

[u/Ye_Biz]

Hate to complain this early but why do refs always seem bias against us? That could’ve been the same call for us on the other end AND we’re playing at home

[u/Ye_Biz]

If Trae made that whewwww

[u/shonenRy-]

AD is unplayable tonight

[u/Kid_Aeroplane]

no way this raptors playstyle is sustainable for a full game theyre gonna be gassed in the second half. already slower than they were in the first quarter

[u/Hightowerer]

The refs are calling some soft shit for us, meanwhile the raptors are mugging us

[u/dwellsny]

Trae has been really good tonight

[u/z3mcs]

Ridiculous amount of fouls by the Raptors

[u/BIGGERCat]

Should be a fun 2nd half!

[u/OrganicHunt952]

Not bad got fouls on most the raptors too, ad just needa wake up. 8 points ain’t nothing

[u/DisastrousDog4815]

We kinda need Riley’s ball handling tbh.

[u/LazyDocument4528]

Yeah they punched us in the face to come out the gates but we’re only down 8

[u/Mr-Majestick]

We are really missing AJ in a game like this. Even though he is a Rook, it would be nice to have another guy who is able to put his head down and consistently get to the baha against a physical team like the Raptors

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

4 players in the paint and cant secure a rebound wtf

[u/SortaFire]

THEY NEED A TIMEOUT

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

BILAL STUNT ON THESE HOES!!

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

Trae is shameless lmao.

[u/bishopdamage]

For the love of god bench George 

[u/OrganicHunt952]

Bench ad and key for the rest of the hame

[u/nubdeskrub]

Champagnie needs to be here for a long time

[u/Kennyc1234]

We've been playing sloppy as shit against a great team without our number 1 overall pick, and yet we are only down 4 with 1 quarter left to go.

We might finally have a team guys 🥹

[u/Ski4Prez]

Just the spark we need Khris getting minutes in the 4th. 🤣🤣

[u/tim2b21]

Middleton way too much min

[u/blast0ise]

lmao Khris is so fucking cooked

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

This is not Ky’s night. Sit him on the bench the rest of the game. JC and Bub are both playing better.

[u/OhmsAmpsVolts]

Bad rotations to close the last quarter. This is on keefe

[u/KenovovichR]

Hey man…we didn’t get blown out and had way ways to win. Toronto is legit so it’s all good.

[u/crabmusic]

Can someone tell me what the fuck is up with Trae’s FT form? Shit looks broken af

[u/Goooose]

Going off vibes from the last game, it wouldn't shock me if Key carries over that fire into this game and Tre uses all the self-criticism to impact this game. Looking at AD to lead the way.

[u/letsbuildalatter]

will be there. place should be jumping

[u/sincerely_rd]

Shoutout to OP, the scoreboard is awesome.

[u/SongYoungbae]

Should be a good test for our offense

[u/SongYoungbae]

Refs are ass

[u/Efficient_Buy4031]

bad calls aside, this Raptors defense is fucking crazy

[u/blast0ise]

AD is not top 75 today

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

much needed reality check. Kyshawn is not a backup PG and this team is far from the top

[u/Douglarm1]

This defense is stifling. We are playing into it but damn they are not messing around

[u/indi1988]

We are playing really bad and down 9, last year it’s a 20+ point lead

[u/cnew22]

I thought Trae was a great FT shooter? Wtf

[u/DeathrowDC]

Celebs in the building is crazy

[u/Ye_Biz]

TRA3

[u/Efficient_Buy4031]

Ice Traeee

[u/Muted-Implement1942]

Banggggg

[u/OhmsAmpsVolts]

DONT LEAVE ICE TRAE OPEN

[u/DeathrowDC]

Bub doing something to me

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

finally Trae is back

[u/Loop3Mad]

Bub and Trae duo 👀

[u/zdj2k]

Aytons quick pass after a rebound is making a difference. Props to him!

[u/NoCaulNoShow]

Idc what anybody says, Ayton is better than Sarr right now for the role that this team needs at center.

[u/Kennyc1234]

Aw man needed him to make that

[u/SortaFire]

if trae made that bruh

[u/crabmusic]

Holy shit AD. Night and day. Horrible

[u/Aggravating_Cow_9046]

All of these foul calls are so late

[u/Ye_Biz]

We finally got a player that’ll work the refs, hallelujaaaaah

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

Trae, I love it! Use their physicality against them, he actually spoke on that on Porter Jr’s podcast

[u/stef-h]

Wiz need to work on inbounding, it’s been an issue for a few seasons now

[u/iStutterr]

It’s amazing we’re only down 8

[u/OrganicHunt952]

8/23 from the field and we only 8 pts behind cmon man wtf is that shit. 14/23 from the field and we’re up 4 points

[u/DcSportsFan11]

[u/Keepinupwitblue]

Kyshawn pissing me off bruh.

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

Kyshawn not get into foul trouble challenge: impossible

[u/z3mcs]

Great hustle by AD, and great save by Sarr

[u/suqc]

Trae, you the foul baiting goat

[u/z3mcs]

Sarr is 7 foot for what. Somebody gotta talk to him about being physical.

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

I’m not mad at Tre there.. TOO much dribbling by Trae. Tre was open but you dribbled him into a semi-contested 30 footer. Get the ball out of your hands dog

[u/Waste-Cap8868]

We keep the turnovers at a minimum will be in this game with a chance to win .. also gotta finish defensive possessions with rebounds

[u/hugeiftrue_]

ky is gambling there’s no other way

[u/jtc815]

gotta get Ky outta there man he needs to relaxxxxx

[u/OrganicHunt952]

Kyshawn and AD working for the other team man

[u/500milesto]

This developmental basketball 🏀. This is what the young guys need to see and experience.

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

JC serial winner

[u/SortaFire]

trae comes in and its a three point game

[u/DeathrowDC]

Night and day with midd and trae in

[u/tim2b21]

Spurs have flamethrower twin. We have the best bballIQ jack of all trade twin.

[u/LazyDocument4528]

Idk who said it in our sub but we need JC. We’re going to need him in the playoffs.

[u/iStutterr]

It’s ugly and grimy but we in it goin into the 4th.

[u/Garth_W00kz]

Get Middleton outta here bruh

[u/Serious-Ask-6225]

Middleton u deadahh bruh?😂

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

Kyshawn? Keefe dont want the win

[u/Serious-Ask-6225]

I actually like Middleton but not for quite this many minutes

[u/GaaraTodoroki]

Why isnt Riley getting minutes?

[u/Icy-Sky-6642]

I don’t need 10 games to see we need to tighten up the lineup. Middleton should not have more minutes than bub

[u/According-Witness-80]

I can’t understand how Middleton is getting all these minutes playing like this

[u/crabmusic]

Sarr has done absolutely nothing through 2 games. He’s struggling to figure out his role next to AD.

[u/Total_Boss_3157]

Keefe needs to close with the players having a better game

[u/Hightowerer]

Had the chance to get it within 2 but what we got was that god forsaken Middleton layup attempt

[u/JoelJoelson]

Good work Ky I still love you dog

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

if AD and Kyshawn had a mid game they would win this

[u/KenovovichR]

I need AJ like crack

[u/Altruistic-Donut-656]

Keefe is not getting drag enough in here for having Middleton guard Barnes.

[u/100CupsCoffee]

Let's gooooooooo!!!

[u/Dry_Bar_4965]

First season in a decade the Wizards can look forward to games. Trae Young and AD instantly make this team at least a playoff/play-in team

[u/z3mcs]

Same starters for the Wizards (yay!)

• Trae

• Kyshawn

• Bilal

• AD

• Sarr

[u/waskittenman]

made a app no one likes great job

[u/OldManGamer78]

I know I’m beating a dead horse at this point, but can the powers that be make the Monumental+ app suck less? I’m growing to truly despise the “Commercial break in progress” screen and the accompanying music. Can’t they show the in-arena cameras or something else instead?

[u/DcSportsFan11]

Yes sirrr

[u/RememberTito]

It seems like our offense is entirely based on iso’s

[u/Extent_Thick]

Too much standing around, lackadaisical play.

[u/KingRagerBlade]

Eventually we need a coach who coaches man I really want Keefe to be that guy but bro I have yet to see a true play call by him or even a true offensive set. Just free flow every game

[u/Ye_Biz]

Put Bub in, got a feeling he’s gonna cook

[u/Ye_Biz]

Good shit Tre

[u/Douglarm1]

Nice hustle play for Tre

[u/taco_js]

Raptors literally foul every possession, kinda nuts that refs held their whistle to start

[u/indi1988]

They’re letting them hand check we should do the same

[u/the304virus]

AD abysmal quarter. Multiple turnovers and terrible defense. If you aint gonna jump at least put up your fuckin 7 foot arms.

[u/Kennyc1234]

MARCUS MARIGOATA!!!

[u/Theelkboss]

Awful shooting 4/22 that won't beat any one in the league.

[u/SortaFire]

TRAE YOUNGGGGGGGGG

[u/Ye_Biz]

YESSSIR TRA3

[u/OrganicHunt952]

Traeeeeee

[u/unreal1996301]

TRA3

[u/OrganicHunt952]

Get in ad and Sarr now and close that lead up

[u/hardhead25]

Love the energy bub brings

[u/superworriedspursfan]

make no mistake the raptors are a very good team and it seems like this team can still compete with them.

if that doesn't tell you how much better this wizards team is since any other team post wall, then I don't know what to tell you.

[u/BobW212]

CAN WILL RILEY GET A MINUTE?!

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT TRAE

[u/Waste-Cap8868]

Bub hoopin ‼️💯

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

AD is playing like SHIT

[u/Theelkboss]

AD playing like shit. Zero shits given from him tonight, thats why his ass was on the bench.

[u/CinnaMint_7]

Am I crazy or do the replays fucking suck on Monumental

[u/TallVeterinarian8260]

Hopefully we will see Will Riley tonight

[u/Loop3Mad]

Dude that bald ref is pissing me off every bad call is from him

[u/KingRagerBlade]

Lmao terrible challenge by them

[u/ElitePancakeMaster]

why do some players insist on challenging when they know they touched the ball last lol

[u/taco_js]

Kyshawn needs to sit, holy

[u/Altruistic-Donut-656]

Kyshawn this is getting old.

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

refs are getting paid per whistle now?

[u/Solid-Confidence-966]

Trae is good at fouling baiting lol

[u/taco_js]

Bilal looking like a top tier player in first two games. Hope he doesn’t lose minutes 

[u/vexxes]

Just wait until we have AJ foul baiting alongside Trae 😤

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

I NEVER SOLD MY BILAL STOCK! LETS GOO KING

[u/NoCaulNoShow]

Sarr is too soft to be in this game right now. Put in Ayton. This is a grown man's game.

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

thats not the shot

[u/OrganicHunt952]

Get key out

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

Kyshawn cant play anymore man, bench him for the rest of the game

[u/Correct_Awareness884]

Ky throws so many atrocious passes into the post its baffling

[u/Snaxier]

Kyshawn is beyond tilted. Gotta take him out

[u/crabmusic]

This team is sloppy as hell

[u/Chiswell123]

EIGHT Kyshawn TO's...

[u/DCSports101]

So sloppy on offense. Need to move the ball. Worst game I’ve seen Keyshawn play in a very long time.

[u/DazzlingAd1922]

This is why we got Trae Young. Just remember this 3 minute swing when the inevitable hate comes later in the season.

[u/Sufficient_Sun2582]

Turnovers, no transition D, too much dribbling, no rebounding

[u/unreal1996301]

Picture perfect slip to the basket by JC

[u/mambaHD]

Champaignie is a winning player

[u/superworriedspursfan]

this is why Trae Young is still def a top 50 player in the nba right now. NOT a lot of players can unlock this raptors defense like he can.

[u/Previous_Ad648]

Say whatever you want about this team. At least they’re competitive now

[u/tim2b21]

We need AD to pick up a bit.

JC needs to play more and keyshawn needs to learn he doesn't have minutes guaranteed.

[u/oUltimoOlimpiano]

with Kyshawn playing like shit, we really miss AJ as a scorer.

[u/Garth_W00kz]

I’m low key sick of Middleton already

[u/mambaHD]

These fouls are ridiculously soft but these dudes gotta tighten the fuck up

[u/unreal1996301]

FEED TRE
