The Official Washington Wizards Thread

WTF?! I just got home fired up the interwebz and remember the wizards had a game tonight... and THIS happens! Beal apparently goes hero and Vesely puts up a stat line that I had to double check before I could believe, man of all the games to miss I have to miss this one?! That blows.

Also THIS EXISTS.

We don't need them, trade them both for draft picks immediately.

I went to one game last year, vs OKC and the Wizards win a thriller. I go to one game this year, vs OKC and the Wizards win a thriller.

Is that gif Beal's game winning shot? I missed it, hell ya, I like this guy.

Yes. Here is the video I looked for so I could hear Buck scream "DAGGER!"

Good to see the Wiz kids pull out a W against the other Finals team

I'm really glad the NBA never calls traveling cause I swear he ends up taking about 3 or 4 steps when he gets the ball and before he starts dribbling. It's kinda garbage that he wasn't given the and 1 cause he definitely drew a foul against Perkins.

We gotta work on our celebrations to game winning shots

I think people were stunned the thing actually went in and then they were waiting for the refs to say the shot didn't count or something due to time

Awesome game to go to. DC is a great basketball city even when our team has 4 wins.

You need to start going to all of the games.

The season is clearly over. But Beal is really showing his worth. I've been defending him all year long from people and they have nothing to say now that he's finally get his points. Wall & Beal will be a sight to see soon. I just hope they dont win to many games really want that #1 pick.

Just a look at how Beal compares to some other notable rookies.

Beal has been a different player since the new year began. His past 5 games are VERY encouraging, not just from a statistical standpoint, but from an aggressiveness standpoint as well. We're not seeing the same 19 year old who was down on himself if things weren't going his way. We're now seeing an extremely confident player. I hope he can sustain this new-found style. THIS is the guy we expected when he was drafted #3 overall. With Wall back in the fold potentially on Saturday, we'll hopefully get a glimpse of what this team can be with two good backcourt players.

Last night was no fluke. This team played inspired basketball on both ends of the floor and proved that they can be competitive. I was mostly encouraged by the defensive effort as the hands were extremely active.

Anyways, the game last night was good distraction from the RG3 hurricane. Let's keep it going!

*Still an advocate for bringing in Boogie.
