I mean, can't really blame them. Up 30 it happens.

I’m not surprised or even upset. It just isn’t as fun to watch.

Schroder has so much touch on his passes. I love watching him play. He’s very fluid. He literally moves like a snake.

Not really. Athletic, hustle guy. Has a knack for being in the right pace at the right time.

He’s got a little bit of a shot. Good touch around the rim for such a young player. And he’s been hitting open 3s. He’s no pure shooter, but he’s got a little bit of a shot.

Alright, up 28 with 4 minutes to go after an Abrines corner three.

I can finally breathe easy.

Ferguson with some nice passes, being more aggressive.

Guys, I'm going to make the extremely bold prediction that Scott Brooks will soon be available for other coaching positions. I can't recall seeing a team with halfway decent players like Wall and Beal look more disjointed, dysfunctional and just lifeless.

This team is going to be a lot of fun. This is the first time we’ve seen 5 guys who can put the ball in the basket on the floor at all times.

All hail Billy Donovan.

One thing he always did in OKC was get guys to play hard. That locker room must suck

Not bold. Brooks is getting fired. Period.

Dwight Howard solved their winning problem. The last time Washington was this bad they had Nene, Ariza and Livingston on the roster that season.

This was a nice win but let’s not freak out. We’re still a .500 team. Washington is really bad. Tonight was encouraging but we need to put together several more of these in a row without losing to bad teams.

Haven't they been dealing with rumors of lockerroom issues for over a year now? Make a trade or something. This can't continue.

Wall and Beal are more than halfway decent players.

John Wall has been an All-Star the previous five seasons. Beal was an All-Star last year. Wall is 28 years old and Beal is 25. On top of that Otto Porter Jr. is a very viable 3rd option on a playoff, but non-true-championship-contending, team.

Wall, Beal, and Porter Jr. have played in all 8 games. The Wizards are 1-7. On average, their games end in a score of 124-112. Four of their seven losses have been by double digits and have three of those losses have been by 20+ points.

But you're right, it's very strange that they are this bad and this dysfunctional. It makes little to no sense.

There were rumblings but nothing too notable. Wall seems like a rough teammate, and adding Rivers and Dwight wasn't a great chemistry move.

The defense was as bad as I've seen outside of a team that is actively tanking. Like, there was little to no communication, really lazy rotations when they rotated at all. Guys just out there barely going through the motions.

Even though Presti has made some mistakes, at least we aren’t stuck with Ernie Grunfeld. Worst GM in the nba.

I agree. It's confounding to watch.
