Wizards open up tonight against the Bucks. It is going to be another season where it's going to be all about the young guys and the development of the young guys, even though there are a couple of veterans on the roster.

Chase Hughes will be documenting the season, covering it as he has for many years now for monumental sports.

He's also a radio sideline reporter for the Wizards Radio Network.

You can follow Chase on X at Chase DC Sports.

And he's got a YouTube show podcast called Off the Bench.

So you can get that anywhere you get your podcasts and on YouTube,

and probably he'll link it from his ex account.

So, you know, it snuck up on us this season.

Real quickly, did you watch both games last night?

I watched the entirety of the first one and part of the second one.

First of all, love the NBC return to the NBA.

I mean, for me, it's a throwback to the Jordan era and those great 90s era games.

But how about Kevin Durant not getting teed up for calling that timeout, doing the

Chris Weber thing at the end of the first overtime? How did he get away with that?

I don't know. I mean, I heard Shea Gildes Alexander talk about it after the game and said

that if you were on the court, you could see it, and you could hear it.

I mean, even in that loud stadium, one of the loudest in the league, you heard him try to do it

about three times.

And SGA was very forgiving.

He said, you know, people make mistakes.

The rest made mistakes.

But if OKC had lost that game, I wonder what he would have said.
