However, Pistons and Spurs are setting records, so Wizards are "just" third worst team in nba :lol:


Pistons today are on pace to become worst basketball team in history. Spurs will also , if they continue with this, be top 10 worst ever.


imagine being 4-24 San Antonio or 5-24 Washington and catching minimal heat because there's somehow a worse team out there :lol:

Magintude of what Pistons today "achived" should be pointed out. Every sports media, every news, almost every country in a world has at least article, paragrph or report about "worst team in history".

This is really that situation where whole front office should be fired on spot, including all scouts & all assistents and time to consider selling team to different owner.

Pistons have been complete garbage for 15 years straight.

Good win in the end, yes, the Wizards are terrible, but we were playing away with several key players out and I never felt the win was in any doubt. We shot very well from 3 and we fiinally got a high scoring game from Black.

Of course it would have been better if we had committed fewer boneheaded turnovers, 16 turnovers against a team which barely tries on defence is quite bad, but this is almost invetiable for such a young team in a game played at a breakneck pace.

Wizards defence is something else though, on som many plays I couldn't help but laugh how bad they are on that end, especially Poole.

Wild game for Anthony Black. Good for him. He was feeling it, and made them pay. It would be nice to have a player like AB who goes off on the other team for a change.

Honestly feels like this Wiz should have a better record. Not way better but should have several more wins on talent level. They seem to put a better effort against us, does Unseld have a rivalry with Mose?

Box score thoughts:

The Magic won the FG% battle and won the game.

A glowing 46.2% three ball led by Black and F-Wagner's beautiful shooting lines.

A lot to not-like about this game: poor FT shooting, high TOs, lost the offensive board battle - and the overall rebounding line.

Really: without the 3-ball, Orlando losses this game. That is: an odd win.

But all road wins are good wins!

I like the fit, talent wise. Could he accept Paolo as pack leader?

Better question is, did Paolo forgive and forget Murray after what he did?
