No thread but it seems we always play the early MLK game

Dre doing his thing. 9/7 at half. With 5 turnovers and the wiz centers have 21 points.

And people are worried about us making the playoffs. This team is as bad as anyone

Man Dre recently is the secret sauce to tanking with your starters playing. It seems like when he realized he wasn't gonna be traded or get what he wanted he has gone into a turnover fueled, no defense funk, where below avg centers can plan on career nights.

I caught the last couple mins of the 3rd and the entire 4th without a Sekou sighting. Nice player development we got going on here while sucking ass

9 turnovers and the worst pick-and-roll defense from a center in the history of basketball. Hurry up and give that man a Max contract

In all fairness, Sekou was forcing up some really awful shots. I can't blame Casey too much for this one.

I know we’re all upset about losing ground in the tankathon, but this month has gone pretty well in that regard and losing some ground was an inevitability with this easy a schedule.

Part of our problem is that there’s just so many awful east teams so you get stretches like this.

Dre one shy of a triple double. 18 pats, 16 boards, 9 turnovers. Great and super efficient nights from both Wizard centers. That’s not all on Dre but much of it is.

The day he's no longer on this roster is going to be like Andy Dufresne coming out the otherside of the sewer pipe and embracing the rain.

It must be pretty hard to be this bad while half the roster is shooting 40% from 3.

This was a teaching moment for Sekou, which is why you didn't see him. Immediately prior were a few poor sefensive efforts resulting in layups and as Phobo said sone really poor shot selection resulting in airballs.

Immediately after sitting down he pulled his jersey over his face.

So yeah. Sekou knew he screwed up. Learning to act in the flow of the game and making smart decisions is a process every rookie should go through. I just wish Casey would take a harder stance on Dre. It's probably too late? He probably shouldn't bench him this close to the deadline? But 9 turnovers... yeeesh!
