I’ve gotten a lot of questions like, “are you still breaking down Wizards games this season?”
The answer is: Yes
Here’s something from the archive. My personal game notes from WAS/MEM earlier this week.
It’s been a while.
Happy game night!

Jason Kidd said he wanted to get Frank Ntilikina his first minutes of the season tonight — not necessarily because he’ll take the burden off Luka, but he’s the last option on the current roster Mavs haven’t tried. – 7:52 PM

This happens to streak shooters, but Tim Hardaway Jr.’s shot just doesn’t look good. Wonder if he’s favoring something after that awkward slip the other night. – 7:47 PM

Corey Kispert shaking a little of the rust off in his fourth game of the season after the ankle sprain. He’s got 7 points in 10 mins. Mavs are up 41-40 – 7:46 PM

The same thing is happening against Luka Doncic that happened to the Wizards against Kevin Durant. When Washington sends a second defender at Doncic, Doncic passes to the perimeter, forcing Washington into rotations. Dallas ultimately generates — and makes — open 3-pointers. – 7:17 PM

Kristaps Porzingis (left groin strain) went through his full pre-game warmup routine and looked good even though he will not play tonight vs. Mavs.

Jason Kidd pre-game was the most forceful about needing to decrease Luka Doncic’s exorbitant usage rate as I’ve seen:
“If we keep this up, then he will not be human if he gets past Christmas. So one or the other is going to show: He’s human or not, and we believe he’s human.” – 6:15 PM

J-Kidd on Luka: “The big thing is he’s from a different planet. He makes the game look so easy, it’s at a different speed. He’s not afraid of the moment, he loves the competition and no matter who’s out there on the floor with him he believes he can find a way to win.” – 6:07 PM

Asked Jason Kidd about Luka’s insane usage rate to start the season. It’s a concern. “People will say he’s 23,” Kidd said. “But, he’s human.” At this rate, Kidd said, Dončić may hit a physical/mental wall around Christmas. – 5:46 PM

With Kristaps Porzingis and Taj Gibson both out tonight, and with this opponent, Wes Unseld Jr. said this game is shaping up to be a small-ball game. So there isn’t a guarantee that Vernon Carey Jr. will play significant minutes tonight. – 5:40 PM
