Season preview episode out! Take a listen before tomorrow night’s game. Hope y’all enjoy🤝 open.spotify.com/episode/4bl…

I’m giving Sarr about 20 games to figure out his fit with this team. He’s playing a new role and had an injury. Gotta be patient. But I will say I don’t think it’s been a good start to the year offensively for him. Feels like both Sarr and the team are confused on how to use him

I love these actions where Trae and AJ screen for each other. AJ gets the mismatch and Trae feeds him. AJ sees the help coming from the top-side so he hits the defender with a nasty stutter-rip to the baseline. (foul call was overturned but still a great move from AJ)

There’s 5+ possessions like this every game and it’s just ugly. I guess we’re looking for the high low here with Sarr sealing his man, but AD doesn’t have a good angle to deliver that pass and that’s not really Sarr’s game anyways. (watch Kyshawn calling for the ball lol)

This has been a constant theme for the Wizards offense this year. Kyshawn can really pass and I would love to see some type of split action or weakside screening action here but everyone is so stagnant. This also happens on pretty much every AD iso. Gotta be a bit more creative.

I’m like the biggest Kyshawn fan on here but it’s year 3 of the fouling issue at some point it has to get better

This can’t be a real stat

100% The offense is so stagnant when AD touches the ball

I don’t think I’ll ever have a tougher decision than Boozer vs AJ for my number 1 spot last year All time great feel prospect in Boozer vs an all time great scoring prospect in AJ Ended up goin with AJ at 1 but man those guys were both so good and I’m just glad we got 1 of them

Keaton’s handle has always been super underrated for a guy his size and his funky pacing and foul drawing has instantly translated to the league He has to make shots inside the arc at some point and I think that will come as he gets stronger, but he’s getting to his spots.

Really confused by our usage of AD this year. He’s always been better as a 5 yet we’re committed to playing him as a 4 on both ends. The isos are frustrating for sure but why are we switching him so much on the perimeter on defense? Keep him by the rim on both ends.

Zipper action into the guard to guard screen is a nice set. Trae ghosts out of the screen to create the angle/confusion and you can just see how effortlessly AJ can touch the paint. This is the type of dynamism our offense needed in the half court.

I’m actually open to the idea of 40-minute games now There are definitely some things I don’t like about it (makes the bench less valuable, records and per game averages will be messed up), but given that owners will never agree to shorten the season it might be the best option

Been super busy with stuff the last few days so I’ve missed the last couple games. Gonna try to catch up this week and get an episode out soon🤝
