Game 49: WAS at MIN

[Nick K]

WE lose to a 6 and 41 team. Is this the nadir? Who needs Ant, Randle and Naz?

[Loaf_of_bread]

Oh boy, we officially suck.

[ILC]

They are simply BAD at the end of games. No need for Jaden to force a 3 there, go to the basket ffs. Wizards are bad on D, they will mess up, someone will overhelp and you kick it out to Mike in the corner wide open. Simple IQ stuff is killing them

You forgot DDV. They showed a graphic those 4 equal 63% of points scored this season.

[shrink]

With a five game lead in the loss column, Wizards don’t have to tank this one.

It would be their second road win 0f the season. They were 1-21. Ick

What is with this team taking 3s down 2?

[_AIJ_]

Dumbest team in the league

[_AIJ_]

Cannot win with Garza playing significant minutes

[ILC]

UNBELIEVABLE

WHY WHY WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE A 3 EVERY SINGLE TIME DOWN 2? WHY WHY WHY

[winforlose]

Everything about that game was sad. If Naz misses any time the burden on Ant and Jaden will be… EXTREME.

[Nick K]

We've been bad at end of games this entire season. Good teams find a way to win.

I love NAW's effort but his missed shot at the end is more the norm than not when the pressure is on.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Could have win one. Mike keep us in the game at the end but too much poor shooting at 3 tonight. NAW, NAZ were awful . Jaden, Rudy and Mike play well but are not good offensive players enough. Disappointed by NAW and NAZ performance. A night to forget, too many players out there.

Great question. We went 12 of 40 tonight from 3. They went 15 of 33. HUGE difference.

I actually disagree. Too many poor rotations, too much Mike and not enough Dilly down the stretch. Poor offensive structure had guys standing around and we had multiple bad shots where guys drove and shot 1 on 3 or took contested 3s. This is a game where the system failed the players, the players didn’t fail the system. Inexplicably poor coaching and some bad calls down the stretch doomed us here.

This is a badly coached team with an extremely average head coach that’s why.

Mike score 8 in the 4th, make the steal who could have give us the win.... he put us in position to win. I agree on the poor rotation part and specially why Rob did not play instead if NAW down the stretch. Sone bad calls did not help too. Overall 3 just kill us...

Wizards players trying to play their way out of Washington before trade deadline

[life_saver]

I know losing to worst team in the league sucks but its hard to win even vs terrible teams when you are missing possibly your 4 best scoring options..still Finch was disappointing today by not giving Rob more mins

Some of you guys are so irrational with your takes. Have you watched basketball before? Great teams find ways to win? What happened to the 2019-20 Warriors when Curry and Thompson were hurt? Oh yeah, they won 15 games.

We were missing our top FOUR scorers. This was not that surprising.

Jaden’s 3 was not ideal, but he was 3/4 from deep before that shot. NAW’s look was as good as you could have expected given the scenario. Sometimes the shots don’t fall.

Poor coaching…sure, maybe in the first half. Defense was terrible in the first half. 4th quarter, Finch ran with the hot lineup. I respect that. Big Dillingham fan. He didn’t do squat after his first shift and was a fouling sieve in the 3rd quarter.

Go follow the Wizards with your terrible takes.

Now, with these injuries….we could be in deep trouble. That’s a huge concern!

Mad about this game? No, it was a pretty good effort being that short handed.

Did you really come here talking about "bad takes" giving bad takes? SO NAW who shot 2 for 9 on 3s should have taken that last shot? and that was a good shot only being down by 2? And going to the better shooter Jaden is not ideal" wtf?
