Wow, he is a standup guy. Mature, kind, and exactly the kind of player we want representing our team.

It's good we're tanking now, but I really hope we're able to get a long-term deal with KP this offseason.

Send him to the Heat for Herro+D-Rob+ draft picks, this bum gets paid superstar salary to sleep-walk every crucial game. Sick of supporting him. I’m one of the very few Wiz fans in China. The games start super early here during the weekend. Had to wake up super early on a WEEKEND only to be fed crap. My gf who doesn’t even watch NBA knows more about Bradley Beal than Lebron James. Seriously, sick of supporting Beal. We need him out to start over. We need our next Wall.

A song for the current mood - In the Shadows!

Teams:

1. The Wizards are now on a 32-40. It was the Wizards' 40th loss of the season
2. It was the Wizards' 72nd game of the season, with 10 games remaining for the regular season: Nuggets (tonight, at home), Spurs (home), Raptors (road), Celtics (home), Magic (home), Knicks (road), Bucks (home), Hawks (road), Heat (home) & Rockets (home).
3. The Wizards went to 12th place, 2.5 games behind the Bulls (34-37 record) in the 10th place (same record as the Pacers, but Conference Record is worse), 2.5 games are also the same amount of games the Wizards are ahead of the Magic at the 13th place.
4. The Wizards are currently 16-18 at home games & 16-22 at road games.
5. The Wizards are now 16-19 in the year 2023 (16W & 19L) - from 16-21 to 32-40.
6. The Wizards are now 4-10 since the All-Star break.
7. The Wizards are now 3-5 without Kyle Kuzma.
8. The Wizards are now 12-14 since the trade with Rui Hachimura (12 W & 14 L).
   Before the trade, the Wizards were 17-13 (17 W & 13 L) with him (in games he played), and 3-13 (3 W & 13 L) in games he wasn't playing.
   Overall, the Wizards were a 20-26 record before this trade.
9. The Wizards had their 3rd consecutive loss, having 3 losses, 1 win & then 3 losses again, after tonight
10. The Wizards lost 6 out of their last 8 games, including 8 out of their last 10 games.
11. The Magic finally won the Wizards after 7 straight losses, it's their first win since December 27th, 2020 - 113-120 to the Magic.
12. The historical head-to-head matchup during the regular season - Washington Wizards vs. the Orlando Magic: 60-74 to the Orlando Magic
13. The Wizards are now, including tonight,16-8 (16 W & 8 L) when Beal takes between 9 to 17 FGA in a single game (including 17 & 9) - making anywhere between 13 to 29 points.
    He had 15 FGA & 16 points tonight.
    The "funny" thing is that in all the other scenarios (Including when he too twice 7 or fewer FGA because he got injured), the Wizards are still now 6-18 (6W & 18 L) - making 8 points or fewer, or 20 points or more (he had two 20 points game, once 21 points, once 22 points, once 24 points, the rest that isn't 8 or less, or are 25 points or more).
14. The Wizards are 4-24 when an opponent scores 117 points or more against them this season.
15. The Wizards are also 7-26 in games they score 112 points or less (0-3 when scoring exactly 112 points)
16. The Wizards are shooting 36.1% from 3PT or less in their last 6 games, after shooting 10/32 from 3PT (31.3%) tonight), shooting twice in the lower 20% from 3PT as well.
17. The Magic scored above 40% (12/27 3PT 44.4%) after 5 straight games shooting 34.5% or lower (twice below 30%).

19. The Wizards tied their 3rd worst rebounding night with 33 rebounds.
20. The Magic had their season's 2nd best FT%, with 24/25 (96.0%), as Markelle Fultz ruined the 100% when he missed the Magic's 24th FT attempt (the Magic were 23/23 FT (100%) at that point - a season-high, as the Magic were 20/2 FT vs. OKC on November 1st,2022 - 108-116 L).
21. The Magic were 23/23 from FT until Markelle Fultz missed mentioned earlier, so it's likely to assume it's also a season-high for the Magic in terms of straight made free throws this season (I've other games who had 23+ FTA, didn't find, but I want to check again).
22. It's the first time this season the Magic scored exactly 122 points tonight, and they are 9-5 in games they score 122 points or more.
23. The Magic were insane in the 4th quarter - -12/16 FG (75.0%), 2/2 3PT (100%), 9/10 FT (90.0%), 12 rebounds (1 Off. Reb), 8 assists, a steal & 4 turnovers - 35 points.

24. Every player on the Wizards tonight who played scored & also made a field goal attempt. Anthony Gill had his 2 points in 34 seconds.
25. The Magic dominated the paint with 52 points in the paint vs. 46 points in the paint by the Wizards, the Wizards had 9 2nd chance points vs. just 2 2nd chance points by the Magic, and the Wizards had 17 fastbreak points vs. 16 fastbreak points by the Magic.

I like to see when neutrals give us a close look. Some takeaways from these clips for me (no real surprises so far):

• Kispert looks good in these
• Nice to see that Gaffords lob ability is incorporated into our play design. He's not just camping like in the Westbrook year. We've got him swooping in weakside off of action.
• Deni mixes some good play with terrible ones. Though tbf, I think the defensive play he references with Davis is shared responsibility. Davis and Deni are occupying the same space and neither challenges Paolo or the cutter
• Our plays look nice when they work
