Jahadi White and Matt Modderno recap the Wizards game against the Bucks, including the glimmers of improvement they saw from Jordan Poole and the high praise the Bucks' stars had for Bilal Coulibaly. They also discuss which players are most likely to get traded first, why the national media only seems to be focused on the negative things going on with the Wizards, and Matt sort of compares Bilal to Giannis. They close the show by saying what they're thankful for from each member of the team so far this season. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Presented by betonline.ag!

Jahadi White and Matt Modderno cover what went wrong in both the Heat and 76ers games, specifically the defensive breakdowns in both, and preview Wednesday's Hornets game. We give some love to Daniel Gafford despite Joel Embiid having a big night. Is Jordan Poole finally trending in the right direction? We weigh in on that too. Jahadi shares why he thinks Wes Unseld Jr. is here for at least the rest of this season and we both make a case for why Jerry Stackhouse would be the perfect fit for this group. We also cover the Wizards' "chaos" bench unit, which reserves deserve more minutes, who has been the Wizards most solid player so far, and which young center the Wizards should try to trade for.
