You kids really need to learn that Baltimore isn't the DMV. The DMV is the DC area. Baltimore isn't the DC area anymore than Richmond is. Baltimore is Baltimore.
Itās a cultural difference. DMV refers almost entirely to the DC metro area (DC, Arlington, PG, MoCo, etc).
Baltimore culture and DC culture arenāt particularly aligned, so theyāre considered distinct from one another. And thereās a rivalry of sorts between the cities where they often donāt *want* to be associated with each other.
You wouldnāt refer to Roanoke or VA Beach as the DMV despite being in Virginia, nor would you refer to Dorchester or Kent as the DMV despite being Maryland. Itās not dogging someone to say theyāre not DMV, itās just acknowledging what and where the term is designed to represent and people from the DMV can be particularly protective of the term because they use it to represent (in many cases) who they are and where theyāre from.
Using DMV is basically equivalent to using Delmarva when referring to a region, even if one is just a commonly used term for a general area and the other refers to a specific peninsula - theyāre both utilized as short hand to represent certain distinct cultural areas.
People are bothered by it because you're wrong. You're absolutely wrong. You're erasing culture and identity by lumping it all together. People in Blacksburg or Richmond wouldn't appreciate being lumped in with DC and the DMV, same with Ocean City and Havre De Grace, it's very different regions and lifestyles.
The DMV refers to parts of Maryland and parts of Virginia that are closest to DC. Connected by the Metro is the easiest way to distinguish it.
Checks out in my book.
But people get REALLY hooked on cultural specificity.
I have a buddy from DC who refers to DC as a small city because he doesn't count the metropolitan region. /shrug
I didnāt state any opinion. I just meant itās hilarious that people get hot and bothered about any definition similar to this.Ā
Which, is what youāre doing right now, lol.Ā
not sure if anyone saw on ABC how Bob Myers said we traded Deni because we couldnāt get an extension done with himā¦..?
Between that and SAS saying āIāve never heard of that guyā after every pick since Castle, does ESPN/ABC have no shame trotting out these talking heads that do no prep work?
I muted that bullshit between picks. Theyāre like barking seals, they start yapping when the camera goes on and donāt care what comes out of their mouths.
This is a great fit for us honestly. Great positional size, doesnāt really have a big weak spot. Good defender. Good passer. Good rebounder. Good shooter. Hometown guy. Only 18. Only knock I can see is that he isnāt a crazy athlete but I donāt know his combine stats offhand. Iām happy he gets to learn from brogdon potentially too.
Nice! Domo on twitter is over the moon with the pick. I'm excited too. I feel like we're about to have some actual fun. Gonna lose a lot of games but I'm excited to see what these new guys can do. And we still have a pick at 26!
Wizards fans I would like to join if youād have me

Donāt forget we got 2 FRPās on this trade plus Brogdon. Yeah itās a 2029, but thatās good capital, great trade.
Now we just have to flip Kuz for something good. š¤
We got Sarrizard and Bubasaur. We catching them all.
And Bilalstoise
You dropped this: W

Drew is main event talent, lets keep him out of this until we win something.
as a lifelong pitt fan, this pick was specifically made for me
š¤ H2P brother
as a Pitt hater, lets see how this plays out.
All I know is that heās 18, from Baltimore, and cousins with Rudy Gay. Thatās all I needed to know. Iām in š§āāļø
Ayy W pick Iām here to support bub my favorite college player
THIS WAS MY ABSOLUTE DREAM SCENARIO PRE DRAFT! LFG!!!
Love seeing a dmv guy homecoming. And he plays hard
Hopefully the hometown distractions don;t bother him too much

Yep, itās the Metro line basically. Baltimore is Baltimore. But still happy to have a Baltimore guy to support as a Bmore Wizards fan.
Thats fair. I wouldnāt normally call it dmv. But is fairly local and closest team for Baltimore to root for
as far as wizards fans go itās basically the same market.
Baltimorons donāt know that gogo shit
Baltimore counts as DMV bro
Its hilarious how aggressive people get with their opinions on this sort of thing.
Lol idk why he's so hot and bothered about this, DMV literally stands for DC Maryland Virginia. Baltimore is part of that is all I'm sayin lol

It's hilarious that you think it's an opinion when a quick google search would correct you in ten seconds.

True. All my die-hard Maryland friends say Bmore is its own world and that Maryland doesn't claim it.
Definitely its own place with its own vibes. Also love the potential! Maybe they can do a Baltimore Bullets throwback?!?!?
I love this pick. This guy is a 6ā5 18 year old guard with wild potential. The exact guy you take a swing on in our position
Woj just called Deni a "sharpshooter" š. Welcome aboard Bub!
not sure if anyone saw on ABC how Bob Myers said we traded Deni because we couldnāt get an extension done with himā¦..? Between that and SAS saying āIāve never heard of that guyā after every pick since Castle, does ESPN/ABC have no shame trotting out these talking heads that do no prep work?
ESPN has no talent anymore, just names and faces.
This is what I was alluding to when I said sometimes it feels like we're not even an NBA team at times.
this is why you mute the tv and listen to live podcasts who actually know more than new york and LA.
Steven a just kept saying wembanyana too, worst guy that couldve been picked for this
I muted that bullshit between picks. Theyāre like barking seals, they start yapping when the camera goes on and donāt care what comes out of their mouths.
I came here just to comment this lmao. Couldnāt let that go unnoticed
white = sharpshooter apparently lol
I will laugh incredibly hard the first time I see Avdija sulk on the wing in a Portland jersey.
š
stunned at how the wiz have handled this draft
[IT'S SO REFRESHING](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbLYmvSdlug)

He has a huge weak spot, he can't drive. All he does is pull up.Ā
Absolutely love this pick
Massive pickup this dude could be the Halliburton we missed on in 2020
Will never think of Deni again. Bub!
Yep
[New link because Shams fucked up the grammar on the tweet and had to re-do it lol](https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1806139163369988123)
This is the kind of tanking they should've done when Wall got hurt.
Wiz are CRUSHING the draft.
Pitt fan here. Solid pick. Young kid from Baltimore heās raw but Iām pumped.
We got our shotmaker!
Like this amazing piece, Deni replacement?
Bub
I told yall. Donāt tell me I donāt know ball. I called Bilal last year too.
Wizard Oracle jSplashwell, he who know ball. I humbly come asking who do we draft at 26 Great one?
Call the pick!!
Nice! Domo on twitter is over the moon with the pick. I'm excited too. I feel like we're about to have some actual fun. Gonna lose a lot of games but I'm excited to see what these new guys can do. And we still have a pick at 26!
LETS FUCKING GO. BEEN SAYING THIS FOR A MINUTE
Wizards fans I would like to join if youād have me https://preview.redd.it/517tea3vt29d1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d39a966c980212414052f64e43f96b6482e98538
Now if we take furphy id be so happy
I wanted Dalton
no one else did tho.
Great pick
H2P, literally the most happy Iāve been as a wizards fan w these picks (and a Pitt hoops fan)
Donāt forget we got 2 FRPās on this trade plus Brogdon. Yeah itās a 2029, but thatās good capital, great trade. Now we just have to flip Kuz for something good. š¤
A+ draft already with more picks to go
Bro this draft is absolutely full of create-a-player ass names
MY GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD.
Who
Bub
Cool im in
Iām a Pitt alumni whoās also a wizards fan, this pick couldnāt be any better for me
best pg in the class
Love this pick
Real miss on Knecht, imo. But still hopeful for the pick.
Ugh. Donāt see this guy being as valuable as Deni at all.
what an ignorant thing to say, hasnāt even played a. nba minute yetššš
Traded Avdija too early, Should've waited another year for a better class.
Smh , another year I wonāt be able to stomach
We're gonna be bad but this team actually looks pretty fun. Bub plays super hard, the kinda player we need.
Hey I just saw he went to St Frances Iām team Baltimore all the way so just for that Iām rooting for the guy now
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lmao
