Man what a fun game. I love Tre Johnson

aiden3buckets | Hornets

13 | 4 hours ago

Not that it’s undeserved because I’ve liked him all the way back to high school but he got the greenest of green lights huh

Plus-Name3590 | Wizards

5 | 3 hours ago

It’s part of our tank strategy I’m pretty sure. Just let tre and bub jack up any ok looking 3

Sarr even had the green light for contested 3s on mismatches

Coolcat127 | Wizards

We did the same last year with Sarr

it’s not a bad thing for a bad team. you can steal some games with hot shooting, you get players comfortable with a higher amount of responsibility… just don’t overdo it otherwise you drill terrible habits into players.

35chambers | Wizards

to be honest he didn’t have that green of a light until CJ and corey got traded

VictorAkwaowo1 | Mavericks

Fuck it, Silver gotta make it a priority to have one afternoon game every Saturday starting next season

Plus-Name3590 | Wizards

19 | 4 hours ago

My gf and I have been complaining about this all season. A couple midafternoon games rock. Less schedule overlap and more to do during the day. It’s a layup for the league

Aeronova20 | Magic

6 | 3 hours ago

I very much agree but early in the season is rough because you’re competing with noon college football.

But matinee basketball is absolutely goated.

Plus-Name3590 | Wizards

3 | 3 hours ago

Yeah but at their current rate they compete with themselves all evening. What’s the point of having 4 7 PM games and 3 10PM games that the East Coast can’t even watch all of

first close win of our entire season lol

DankMemesNQuickNuts | Charlotte Bobcats

That young lineup for the Wizards fought well tonight I think they might be pretty good soon

Vibes are insane for the Bugs right now. I didn’t know that this was allowed for the Hornets

aiden3buckets | Hornets

Offense went cold but all good GGs Wiz

All 5 starters in double digits. Hornets are mastering the power of friendship

Both teams are actually gonna be nice next year.

Wizards definitely 4-0 on us with Trae next season.

Snaxier | Wizards

6 | 3 hours ago

Another year of Kon development and hopefully a good pick in the lotto and you guys will be great post-Bridges imo (he’s the only guy stopping me from cheering on the Hornets as a team).

YizWasHere | Hornets

4 | 3 hours ago

I’m not saying 4-0 because I think the Hornets will be bad, it’s just how these division rivalries always go lmao. Last year the Wizards had our number, this year we’ve had the Wizards number, so next year it’s gotta change hands.

kinda sad how tre johnson is the wizards best playmaker when that shouldn’t be his role at all. i’m excited to see trae run this offense

Darkblade511 | Wizards

11 | 3 hours ago

Dude is a better passer than Bub.

Ilikesporks_ | Lakers

5 | 3 hours ago

which is crazy cause bub was like the best or 2nd best playmaker of last year’s draft. maybe collier was better but either way he was showing good flashes of his passing

Coolcat127 | Wizards

4 | 3 hours ago

We have so many wings lol. Bub is supposed to be the passer but he’s actually only good at shooting 3s

Krimson_F | Hornets

6 | 3 hours ago

those young guns on the Wizards have a bright future ahead of them, really gave us a good game and fought harder than most playoff teams we’ve faced recently

FERFreak731 | Jazz

I said the top 5 of the 2025 draft class would be historic the other day. I guess I have to include the top 6 instead

Rillaboom2701

i was there. those bridges free throws at the end were a new level of stress.

MrBuckBuck | Trail Blazers

The Hornets almost let the youngest starting lineup in the NBA to make a late comeback.

PrimeTimeInc | Hornets

Alternatively, that’s like our first close win in what feels like months lol

FrankSamples | Clippers

Washington is cooking something special. They just need at least one player to turn into a tier 1 star.

EagleOfDeathMetal | 76ers

2 | 2 hours ago

Very intrigued to see how they look with Trae. Add to that a high draft pick and they could definitely surprise a lot of people next season.

Starveiled | Hornets

Tre Johnson is awesome.

Did George fuck the coaches wife? He was having a semi decent game and then didn’t play the last 8.5 min of the game

laxdefender23 | Wizards

He got injured

Reinhardtisawesom | Hornets

He was not making anything bro idk where you got semi decent game from 😭

Balls_Deep92

1 | 3 hours ago

There’s more to basketball than scoring, He was leading them in rebounds and assists when he got taken out and had 2 steals, only played 25 min for whatever reason

Reinhardtisawesom | Hornets

Finally a clutch win, anyways fuck ICE
