Feels good to be a wiz fan tonight
Brandon Miller was on pace for a generational MSG debut
then Josh Hart happened
Josh Hart seems like a good guy. He didn’t intentionally injure Miller. And yet, illogically, I fucking hate him now.
Tell that to Jimmy Butlers ankle
Reath balled out in his first NBA game, showed he can definitely play a part
Ausar is the epitome of clean up man. Bro seriously going to get paid for being the board man. Sheesh.
We’re so in love with Lively. He’s the best center we’ve had in over a decade, a rookie!
