Reports say she intervened after fans insulted Kyle Kuzma’s fiancée, Winnie Harlow. A fan reportedly threw a drink at her, too; she just left amid boos!
www.themirror.com/sport/basket...Oct 23 Open postdavidaldridgedc.bsky.social @davidaldridgedc.bsky.socialBlueskyFor three years, the Wizards tanked to get as many good young players as possible. This year, they aim to compete. Wednesday was a blueprint: Anthony Davis was great, but the Wizards rallied for the win w/multiple contributors. Free to read, in. @theathletic.com:

www.bulletsforever.com/washington-w...Oct 22 Open postMitchell Maurer @mitchellnba.bsky.socialBlueskyKnee-jerk reactions to Bucks-Wizards:
Pros:
Herro: clearly a scorer, and an unselfish one
JJJ: bball Swiss Army knife
Burries: STUD
Jakucionis: possible stud, needs more seasoning
Kuzma (ugh): + defense, some bone-headed plays
Dieng: did stuff!
Cons:
Rollins: bad game, should bounce back
Ware: 😐😐😐Oct 21 Open postNBA Scores @nbascores.bsky.socialBlueskyFinal:
Bucks 116
Wizards 128Oct 21 Open postMEB @mebartl8.bsky.socialBlueskyThe C in the big trade was as big of a problem in this stretch, but when Kuzma went back in at the end of the 3rd the Bucks were still clinging to a 93-88 lead. By the time they sat his ass down that thing was 98-111 Wizards. He was not the *only* problem. But,Oct 22 Open postMark Podskarbi @mvp21.bsky.socialBlueskyI actually think the Bucks have a shot to start 2-0, before dropping a bunch after that. The Wizards remind me of the Herb Kohl Bucks(cheap coach, top draft picks, washed up vets) and I'm not sure the Bulls are any better than the Bucks. After they things could go downhill fastOct 21 Open postMark @marqualler.bsky.socialBlueskySorta feel like being a sicko and watching Bucks-Wizards instead of Wolves-Heat just to keep me humble from my roots as a Wolves lover during the abyss periodOct 21 Open postTraumatic Brian Injury @blakesquest.bsky.socialBlueskyInstead of individualized takes on each NBA team, I’m just assigning them into quadrants on 2 axes: fun/annoying and good/bad. So here it is:
Annoying-bad:
Bucks
Kings
Magic
Nets
Pelicans
Suns
Trail Blazers
Warriors
Fun-bad:
Bulls
Clippers
Grizzlies
Jazz
