The Wizards open with a very Wizards win.
There’s an Avijda and Porzingis injury update in here, plus Bradley Beal saying it’s “unbelievable” to look up and know Kuzma and KP are there to take some burden off him.

Bradley Beal is a top-level scoring guard. His ability to create shots for his teammates remains underestimated though.

Don’t know who was operating the universe simulation when Lance Stephenson came out of nowhere to earn a standing ovation after a 20-point quarter in his first home game back with the Pacers WHILE WEARING A PAIR OF BLUE AND YELLOW TAI CHIS… but they deserve a promotion. pic.twitter.com/9yzTvFzgdy – 3:50 PM

My guess on all of this Zach stuff – the knee got sore after a hard Friday practice, the Heat are a physical team that grinds you, so be safe, tap out, rehab the next few days, and try and debut against the softer, cuddlier Wizards. – 1:47 PM

If I was born yesterday and actually thought this was a “managing” schedule … I would have played LaVine tonight against Miami, sat him against the Wizards – which is the first game in a back-to-back with Cleveland – and played him in the home opener against the Cavs. – 1:32 PM

With Rui Hachimura emerging, Delon Wright now in the mix and Daniel Gafford playing above the rim, the Wizards’ bench has a chance to be a strength.

The Wizards don’t tank. Their biggest free agency signing in years was a player who’s been here a decade. And every year things end up the same.
I asked Tommy Sheppard, Wes Unseld Jr. and Bradley Beal the question on my mind: How do they break the cycle?

So… the Lakers are being pretty open, and honest, about their lack of shooting.
What’s the over/under date on when they throw both first-round picks at the Pacers for Turner and Hield?
(Also, how do you build an entire roster of guards and not get any who can shoot?) – 9:39 AM
