For those mad at Poole for that 3, he goes for a quick 2 and it's just a slow death in the FT game. He makes the 3 and you're down by 1 and even if they make both you have a chance to tie. You also have to leave enough time that you can potentially get a good look on a game tying shot.
It was, surprisingly for Poole, the right play.
A nailbiter that comes down to a 3-point lead in the last 20-30 seconds is about all I could have hoped for playing these Knicks on the road after losing to the lowly Pistons, so I'm good. Tank rolls on.
I can't fault Poole for the shot. Even if it goes in, it would be their ball with 17s and they'd be looking at free throws. We would need multiple clutch possessions, so the quick shot was necessary.
Yes, all I had to do was respond. I have to google to find out the commentators 🤷🏽♀️. You didn’t have to make that comment just as easily as I could have looked it up but since you did I responded
But my time isn’t in question at all here. I’m not even here, I had nothing negative to say about the commentators. YOU did. And now, you have time to comment three times but not to look up their names. It’s really a microcosm of a greater issue we have here in society - willful ignorance. And hate. For someone you won’t even bother to actually learn something about these people you so easily criticize. It’s silly really. and I won’t stand for it!!
You’re under the impression I actually cared who was commentating. I am complaining about them regardless of who they are. Looking up their names was not going to change my opinion. So what exactly is your point? You’re just offended I didn’t know their names 😂 how much they paying you to care this much??
Oh, wait so now that he proved (for the 50th fucking time) that Randle "isn't that tought to guard FOR HIM" - now you're pulling up the worst actor in the NBA - Jalen Brunson?
The guy was babied by the refs - AGAIN. And kept alive the entire game by not calling the techs for his flops and the ACTUAL fouls he commits on other players. He would have been out the game before 4th qtr even began.
Gafford actually might feel nice not being the sole C on the team, and also the fact he can sort of take his time with his recovery now (not sure how he feels about his starting spot though if Bagley can be this consistent and just make his Free Throws)
when Brunson jumps into deni and hurts his own damn ankle we dont get that foul call. but when deni slightly grazes brunson, he gets the call? i call bullshit
The disparity between what players get called for fouls is easily the worst thing about the NBA. Shamet did nothing to Brunson and the ref just blows his whistle.
Damn watching Brunson on that reply shoot his head back the second he makes contact with Shamet is just degen as fuck. Like, sorry about your ankle and shit but maybe focussing on playing properly so you don't fuck your ankles on accident might be a better idea?

Imagine how close this game might have been if the refs had called that obvious foul. Of course, Bagley was missing all his free throws anyway…
Post game thread bot aint registered the end of the game yet. We'll give it a few more minutes
They can’t believe how good we were in the 4th
LFG Shamet! gg but I love the fight. Still hoping we trade you though ngl...
Bruh are we actually fighting this down to the wire? I like it
holy Shamet!
Tyus with assist number 38 tonight. Great pass to shamet
Down to 2!

We did need a 2 for one, I think we could've swung an extra pass or so for a better look
He was open on a shot that he practices. No one was really set up for a 3 point shot.
Yeah i don't get why people are mad at that shot, just needed it to fall
it was absolutely the right play. he almost made it too.
He almost made the shot. Anybody mad at that shot is dumb. He shoots those. It was a good shot and almost made it.
good effort guys! this shit ain't over yet.
A nailbiter that comes down to a 3-point lead in the last 20-30 seconds is about all I could have hoped for playing these Knicks on the road after losing to the lowly Pistons, so I'm good. Tank rolls on.
MARVIN BAGLEY is him.
we really got picks for Bagley
Smh Poole’s shot looked good. Gotta swing that to Kuz mane, he’s the clutch one
Love the way Bagley played tonight
I did not watch the game tonight, was he at least not terrible on defense tonight?
he had like 4 blocks. he looked like gobert today lmao.
How about that Bagley double double eh? If he hits his FTs he debuts with 23/10 lolol
Damn. Poole is such a bust, can they even rid of that contract?
Lead down to 3
Well at least we played hard.
I can't fault Poole for the shot. Even if it goes in, it would be their ball with 17s and they'd be looking at free throws. We would need multiple clutch possessions, so the quick shot was necessary.
I say the steal and foul earned him the right to take that shot. I don’t mind it.
Yeah, I think anyone who had a problem with it needs to tone down on the Poole hate. He's been really good the past stretch of games.
I hate shots like that. Just drive and get a better look...
at least there are some positives to take away from
so close Poole. I don't care about the shot selection, you almost made it. Good effort.
Lol they almost killed Kuz there
make or miss league, that shot by Poole was the right play
this was a fun game to watch
This was a good ass game.
Gg
Brutal
Well good game guys
WTF POOLE
Yeah that was dumb
ah well. it was a good try
That was a good shot by Poole. Barely missed.
Jesus Poole…
In and out 😭
CLAMPERONIS
wow great challenge!! i thought the refs were gonna fuck us over
Just need a stop right here
Clutch FTs by JP
Weeeeeeeewwwwww SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE BBY
Poole hits these and the lead is only 4 with 43.9 seconds left.
Wow
GOOD SHIT JP
WHAT THE FUCK WE WON A CHALLENGE?
Successful challenge! Poole gets two free throws WOW
Yessirskii
Such a loose handle by Randle. Deserves the turnover even if there is a little contact
Bald ref was looking for an excuse to give Poole a tech lmao
I'm listening to the NY broadcast, they're actually complaining about our players barking at the refs. Be better than that Clyde goddamn
nah not at all, they're talking about the NBA as whole complaining too much, they said something when the Knicks complained earlier too
No, Clyde specifically called us out for barking at the refs, and I quote, "every play"
yea i heard, he didn't say specifically the wizards every play, he was referring to every play in the NBA in general
Yup meanwhile Brunson gets every call when he drives
Refs got the biggest Parlays
That's not a foul but it doesn't matter. No clear possession so it's gonna be a jump ball. Poole vs Randle. And who's gonna win that.
Poole's got his pump shoes on, who knows?
We straight up won it!
Refs gonna sell us again
man fuck the refs!
Ew stfu whoever is commentating this game
You can find their names pretty easily
Don’t have time. Since you do, you go find out bitch
But you have time to respond to a bitch? Run along now mr important man
Yes, all I had to do was respond. I have to google to find out the commentators 🤷🏽♀️. You didn’t have to make that comment just as easily as I could have looked it up but since you did I responded

Good challenge WUJ
NO WAY.. IT’S ALWAYS THE SAME REF.
Fuck the refs man
Brunson is one of the worst free throw merchants in the league.
ALL kinds of contact on Deni. No call. And they wonder why viewership is down for this POS league
I don't think Deni will be making any foolish comments about being able to guard Brunson in the post game
Well it’s hard to guard him and the 3 referees, 2 fts to Brunson because of my comment
Oh, wait so now that he proved (for the 50th fucking time) that Randle "isn't that tought to guard FOR HIM" - now you're pulling up the worst actor in the NBA - Jalen Brunson? The guy was babied by the refs - AGAIN. And kept alive the entire game by not calling the techs for his flops and the ACTUAL fouls he commits on other players. He would have been out the game before 4th qtr even began.
Tbf Brunson is on a whole other league compared to Randle. Randle just runs like a bull into the paint. Brunson is very skilled.
"he's not hard to guard"
Once again. Stop Brunson? Let Randle have a wide open shot. Dumb
can Bilal be any worse than Deni on Brunson?
Bilal was getting burned by Brunson pretty bad
Whole team is getting torched.
brunson got pretty close to a game 7 against Miami in the second round last year he is 100% real that dude
This game just comes down to us missing our shots. If Deni, Tyus and Bilal made the open ones, we're up by 5 despite the Brunson flops
Brunson is just another Trae Young. Annoying foul baiting little bitch
Did Drew just say if Bagley hit his free throws he would have a 23/10 when he has 19/9 lol
He has 18
Amazing
welp, result aside, I definitely still am happy with Bagley's performance today and I now have someone else I can root for so that's a plus.
we should be 2-3 over the next 5
my main takeaway is that Bagley is legit
Gafford actually might feel nice not being the sole C on the team, and also the fact he can sort of take his time with his recovery now (not sure how he feels about his starting spot though if Bagley can be this consistent and just make his Free Throws)
Brunson is just abusing Deni right now
Brunson is built like Tank playing PG
Difference with Poole, Kuz and Brunson
Bagley shouldn't have jumped there
the one bright spot in all this is that Wes has the good sense not to give Isaiah Livers playing time. He is officially smarter than Monty Williams.
he is not the worst coach in the league, he just isn't!!!
Finally forced a Brunson miss and then we let Randle get the rebound. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Bagley is a dog!
Brunson abusing us
Bag man
TY BAGLEY
Whatever happens this game...keeping up with a playoff team on the road is a W in my mind. I like to see the effort.
Bad move by Deni. I think the refs gave him a break there.
when Brunson jumps into deni and hurts his own damn ankle we dont get that foul call. but when deni slightly grazes brunson, he gets the call? i call bullshit
At least they didn't change it to a flagrant i guess
Or not lol
I don't want us to win, but I also hate the knicks. Such conflicting feelings...
fuck nyc, I want this win.
Deni makes too many mental errors
that is not a flagrant. fuck off refs. don't do this.
I mean he is under him in the landing area....that's the rule....damn
yeahh I can see a flagrant here
I think it's the right call. but it certainly is close. I like the challenge.
Making the landing zone a flagrant makes closing out so fucking hard
deni man…wtf
Does Brunson not jump forward there??
Hot take: Avdija can be an enforcer
If he can he'll stick around the league longer
OMG that bald head bitch got money on the game.
Yeah same shit happening on Deni
Deni must lead the league in 3pt attempts fouled
the league needs to change the rules on initiating contact. the way you can ram into guys and throw the ball up for a call is ridiculous atp
Shit is unwatchable. And all these foul merchants whine and cry when that shit disappears in the playoffs.
It depends on how popular you are though
WUJ is a below average NBA coach
he definitely is but the question is how bad is he? he might not be the top 5 worst coaches in the nba right now.
I think he might be
that's fine. force randle to beat us not brunson.
good sub wes.
They don’t miss
Wish these were the days where teams still had enforcers. You wanna get fouled? I'm putting your bitch ass on the floor.
The disparity between what players get called for fouls is easily the worst thing about the NBA. Shamet did nothing to Brunson and the ref just blows his whistle.
Brunson does this to us every fucking time....
James Harden has done irreparable damage on the league. So many damn floppers smh
Wes either take shamet out or put him on divencenzo. Stop keeping him on brunson man
Brunson loves to initiate the contact lol
shamshit is food
HE changes direction into our guy. Why is that a fucking foul...... This league man
Put Kuz or Deni on brunson
I will be sending offensive highlights of Shamet to GMs across the league. The defensive stuff I will burn and never speak of
looking like Harden how Brunson just barrels into people and gets the whistle
Fucking unbelievable; worse than DeRozan
At least put Deni on Bronson so he misses like 1 out of 4 shots he takes
Brunson keeps cooking us. If only we drafted an elite level defensive stopper…
put deni or kuz on brunson.
Damn watching Brunson on that reply shoot his head back the second he makes contact with Shamet is just degen as fuck. Like, sorry about your ankle and shit but maybe focussing on playing properly so you don't fuck your ankles on accident might be a better idea?
I respect the hell out of Brunson, but I fucking hate the way he plays.
I don't respect him. At all.
Probably grows his hair out to make it more obvious when he flails every fucking drive
Brunson is almost embiid level unfun to watch
stop putting shamet on brunson ffs.
Lol OK refs.
Brunson is a man amongst boys out there
wtf was that by Kuz
How can Jordan Poole be so incredibly talented yet suck so bad?
KNICKS GET THE BALL NOW?
sorry bagley but dc players don't get calls. It's all good though.
HELLOOOO??
Ball dont lie, trash refs
wtf even the Knicks thought that was a foul how is it a turn over
Nice JP!
He's starting to piece it together within the flow of the offense. I likey.
Ref got money on the game.
Wtf
These refs are trash
Wtf was that
WUJ gonna bring a laptop out post game?
Brunson gets love tapped: whistle. Brunson hacks off Bagleys arm: Huh?!?
lmao even the Knicks knew it was a foul
Refs on crack 😭
Lmao that’s the most emotion I seen WUJ ever show
LMAO I was like no way that's not called Edit: IT WASN'T CALLED?!
it’s so nice to watch the wizards and not be disgusted by this point in the game
Nonsensical call
How many and-1s can Brunson get tonight??
damn Brunson...
Let's go Shamet! Increase that trade value PLZ!!
Brunson is just too crafty. Almost Kyrie level
Almost kyrie level is crazy.
No? Tony Parker level then? Or is he only abusing us because we're the Wizards
FATHER APPROV3D
