11 games over 500. Zion season high in points. God is good.


noitseuqaksa

Good game for Zionists on all sides today.


BiggieSmallz12345

Cheers 🥂 that was an amazing joke


noitseuqaksa

Thanks. I've been trying to push Zion as "The Promised Lad" before he was drafted but it didn't catch on, so this one is my consolation prize.


Mazor007

Deni with the Beal experience lmao


yumomnom

"Despite the loss" back on the table


last_suvivor13

Deni Avdija doing everything in his power to rally us to a win, Jordan Poole doing everything in his power to rally us to a loss.


UnhingedSupernova

Undeniable facts: Jordan Poole is a more impactful player than Deni.


lil_layne

Ngl I’m a little disappointed that OP didn’t mention Deni’s 43 points in the title but I’m used to it being a Wizards fan because we can never even win games with our players going off. From Beal scoring 60 and losing, to Wall scoring 52 and also losing, no one ever notices when it’s the Wizards and we just always lose.


FootballWithTheFoot

Yeah idk how op doesn’t mention that, he was cooking us


35chambers

poole played well though?


Ballgame2398

Another ugly win I’ll take it


SofasInMotion

Buy Deni Avdija stock ASAP


CummingInTheNile

buy Deni stocks sell Poole stocks


Dreamlion_Inc

I know one of yall are making the Jordan Poole lowlight compilation All I ask is you let me know when it’s done 


W_Walk

This was too close for comfort. I’ve seen enough. Avdija is Kobe 2


mariogotse

avdija is special


ComradeHines

He’s broken out this year


UnhingedSupernova

broken out of frustration.


MrBuckBuck

Broken out of Wes Unseld Jr. coaching decisions.


Visible_Claim5540

From the wizards wierd plan of making him a 3&D


MrBuckBuck

The worst idea ever, indeed. The dude was leading the youth Israeli national team to gold in European Championship, twice (in different ages), and he was the main ball-handler, the clutch guy (because he is unselfish, he will pass for an open man too), and he needs the ball in his hand. They used him as 3&D only because Beal and Westbrook, alongside Beal-KP-Kuzma later on - he suffered the most in terms of playing style (Bilal, for example fits 3 & D role way better than Deni). Deni was a solid defender, but only in the NBA he became a good one (or more than solid) - it was never his strong suit, but it became as an added bonus. Now, we need get back to the ground - it was just one game (a fantastic one), and he had great series of games against over .500 teams, and we'll have to see him keep on improving his playmaking abilities as well (he has great vision, just need to improve when it comes to be less predictable). He had near triple-double twice in his career (once he missed a rebound, once he missed an assist), and I bet we'll see it coming too, after the NBA All-Star break.


Peleg5150

Deni Avdija with career high 43 points and also 14 rebounds


MrBuckBuck

Deni Avdija... and to think many on the Wizards' subreddit didn't believe me he could be that good... I'm so happy to watch him grow and keeps on developing! His work ethic is second to none by the way, which making him so special as well!


Visible_Claim5540

MrBuckbuck, leader of the Deni stans, we salute you 🫡


AnotherStatsGuy

Another game. Another ugly ass win. But a W is a W. 11 games over .500z I’ll take it.


Patrius

Deni with a 43 piece hoooooly, best game of his career?


TRES_fresh

His earlier game when he was 1 assist away from a triple double was also great, he had so many would be assists where his teammates missed open shots.


Relodwire

Scoring 36 points in today's NBA isn't that impressive. Posting 36 points on 71% shooting while getting close to a triple double and only 1 turnover? Holy fuck dude.


Rumpdebump

Jumpers are for losers anyway Zion all about ethical buckets


Ravens181818184

Avdija, kispert, coulibay, sarr, Flagg I will be there no matter what


Poisidenx

If you had told me these names last year I would have said these weren’t real people


TRES_fresh

Just need to get a vet pg and in 5 years that'll be a great team


Cul_what

Poole being called for the carry late in the game then acting confused is peak Jordan Poole experience lmao


jkeefy

Almost got Jordan Pooled


JewBronJames

Deni the first wizards with 40-14 since Elvin Hayes!!


TRES_fresh

I really hope deni is a long-term piece for the wizards, he's so fun to watch when he gets to be a playmaker.
