I just don't get why Shamet gets any minutes. What does he offer?
33 pt lead has been cut to 9 because we are playing like losers
If we lose this game, Leon needs to resign and leave the city tonight.
If they lose this game, I guarantee Thibs is gone!!!
Why aren’t we playing McCullar?!?
I feel the Knicks think they have nothing to play for. Not catching the Celts and probably can half-ass it to keep 3rd. So, why be focused and play hard all game? But Thibs needs to start holding them accountable.
Marcus Smart almost personally destroyed us
Bridges has been god awful this half
OG Anunoby now basically defending the entire Wizards team and getting the game back under control

I'm reminded of a line from Rocky in which Apollo's manager tells him, "You think it's a show, he thinks it's a damn fight."
Obviously, the Wizards think it's a fight.
"Sarr, Mike, has been bizarre." Easily Clyde's line of the year.
I fell asleep early then wake up to this. I guess some people are just going to say this was Thibs master plan and he now knew Kolek was ready. That was the same excuse used to protect Thibs with McBride. Enough protecting him. The man has a serious problem that need to be pointed out. Just like with Huk and McBride it was obvious Kolek would contribute if actually given a legit try.
Edit: Ignore the 3 steals I was told Kolek is the worst defender in NBA history as a reason to protect Thibs.

Not mentioned here: Kolek getting cooked by Marcus Smart/Richaun Holmes pick and roll in his 2nd half stint.
Still this was an encouraging outing.
When the lead got cut to 4, OG made about 8 or 9 defensive plays in a row to get the game back. OG can be such a demon when he is fully healthy.

I'll take your word for it since I fell alseep but seeing as this is his first legit chance and the man still ended up plus 5 I think his positives outweighed the negatives. Also remember he has no chemistry with anyone seeing as the man does not play. Everything will improve even more if he is given consistent minutes. Thibs learn from this and change your ways.
Whats it gonna take for them to give 48 mins of consistent effort? The 3rd quarter into the early 4th was a disaster.
Bridges getting 24 in the 1st half and no FGs and 3 pts in the 2nd. Where did he go? Turnover machine in the 2nd half too.
KAT also not asserting himself. Was taken out of the game by Richaun Holmes. Didnt box out. Dominated Sarr after we got back up double digits.
Hart missing layups. Seems physically off still.
OG the only starter I wont criticize, but he got into foul trouble early or would have had a bigger game. Unreal 4th quarter defensive sequence.
Pleased enough to get time even if all but one PG on the roster is not injured?
On a serious note, Use these last few games to get his mistakes out of the way now. We will need him for the playoffs. Don't keep him on the bench then throw him into the playoffs if we get injured then have him fail because he does not have the experience.
