Man, Patrick Baldwin’s ankle may have been more messed up than scouts, coaches, people like me, everyone thought last year. He’s moving much better than he did at Milwaukee. – 4:07 AM

It’s 2:40 am, listening to @davejsports on the #RadioParty and all Wizards tweets/content on my timeline. Happy to have the #DCfamily back. – 2:41 AM

My important 2nd half observation is Will Barton is very 90s/early 2000s with his shorts length choice – 2:39 AM

Hachimura to Barton to Porzingis for the AND 1 in transition. The Wizards are are showing some nice plays in this second half. #NBAJapanGames – 2:38 AM

Rui Hachimura had a whole off-season to work on his game. He told me “strength, mid-range, and three-pointers” was the focus. He could take a giant leap this year. #NBAJapanGames – 1:54 AM
