This is sports junkies on a veterans day on 1067 the fan and the team 980 junks are out. Denton Day and Lenoe Willingham sitting in for them today. They are going to be back tomorrow. We want to thank all the veterans out there who served. It's a special day. We're going to take calls throughout the process of the show. If you did serve, let us know. Linneau got a bell in front of him. We'll celebrate you with a ding of a bell. It's not much, but it's literally all we have. Yvonne Miller is scheduled to join us in an hour and 20 minutes. Ryan Fowler is going to join us in an hour. Talk a little bit about some names in college that we might need to start paying attention to now that the season is over. Well, let's talk a little bit of Wizards. How about that? We got a little top back there on funny Ben. Well, DC Family. There's a bell for that too. Host of the Locked on Wizards podcast. You also hear him and see them on the junkies Monday through Friday. Ben, tough one last night for the Wizards. Losing overtime to the Pistons.

They give up what is one of the most inefficient triple doubles I've ever seen.

Decade Cunningham, he shot like 31% from the field.

He scored 45 while shooting 44 shots.

45 shots.

And then he got to the line 18 times as well.

So you put that in perspective.

He took like 52 shots.

52 shots on the floor. And then it with the, and totally shot over 60 times last night.

It's just insane. But I was happy just to see the team at least have a resemblance of competitiveness yesterday because on now this nine game losing streak, which it's disheartening.

It's tough at this point.

So what you expected, though. You expected plenty of losses. You expected development to come along with it.

I didn't really expect them to go on a streak like this this year. I was hoping you didn't see another double-digit losing streak, considering you went on two separate 16-game losing streaks last year.

But here we are. You play Houston on Wednesday, so maybe the 10-game losing

streak seems almost inevitable before you play Brooklyn.

Maybe the other team that's trying to out-tank you at this point.

So that'll be a fun one on Sunday from Capitol One Arena.

But yeah, how about vintage C.J. McCollum finally making his name show.

Yeah, like, because the first six games of the season, C.J. McCollum was getting trashed by this fan base saying, I can't believe how bad this guy is. He seems like he's the tank commander. No, that wasn't the case. He scored 25 plus in the last three games, and he was very efficient last night until overtime where he went one of six. He was calling his own number. He was gassed out there. So I wasn't too surprised to see how things fell apart in overtime. But I was glad that that young team got the experience to play down the stretch against a really good Detroit team. And I think this Wizards team could actually learn a lot from. They molded that entire core. They built it through the draft. Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, so much young talent on that Detroit team. And they survived this part that the Wizards are in right now in this rebuild. That team went on a 28-game losing streak with that young core of players. And look where they are now. Top of the Eastern Conference, seven wins in a row for Detroit.

Find your Kay Cunningham. That's the difference. They have the star. They have the star, but... Okay, he's playing at Duke right now. Yeah. Well, who knows? The way Alex Carr is playing right now, man. His sky feels like it's the limit for him. I mean, totally outplayed Jalen Duren last night. 15 boards against one of the best rebounders in basketball talk about Duren.

His offensive game has been a lot better.

The shot diet is more consistent on the interior.
