GT #5: Wizards @ Celtics 7:30 PM (CSN/99.1 FM) [11/6/15]

[long suffrin' boulez fan]

Ugh. Blair.

Why oh why?

Last minute and a half of first half was putrid. Had a chance to get it to 12, ended the half 22 down instead. Game, set, match.

I think I may have like Fat Elvis Blair more than Skinny Elvis Blair.

I'll be amazed if we aren't 3-3 after tomorrow's game.

Celtics Are Beginning to Resemble the Wizards

Beal is about the only positive you can take away from this game.

He's bringing it, too bad he's not getting much help.

The front court, just awful. Years and years of neglect are finally catching up.

Is there a team with a worse group than the Wizards? I can only think of the Nets, and they're not even trying to win basketball games.

Why wouldn't the nets try to win? They don't even own their pick. But yeah this roster is terrible. Other than our big three it's garbage, even Gortat has been ineffective.

Getting throttled by a treadmill BOS team is not ideal.

Dudley played like a moron tonight which really hurt, didn't help Gortat and Nene were less then ok. Only guy who showed up was Beal. Kudos to BOS for playing at a high level.

Maybe some humility ought to do em some good after they jerked off to the SA win.

Also, Neal is garbage, Blair might as well be cut. How many more games before Webster's final year becomes partially voidable? I am guessing we aren't going to get any viable big man depth until then.

And plz, when they do bring in some big, let him be athletic and under 28. EG has screwed w/e semblance of depth we had enough.

Boston has eight first round picks in the next three years and finished middle of the pack one year, I would hardly call them a treadmill team.

Finishing middle of the pack is the definition of a treadmill team. Idiot.

A treadmill team, is a team who finishes in the middle of the pack who doesn't have a realistic chance to improve. 3 Unprotected Brooklyn Nets picks over the next 3 years should help.

It just amazes me how terrible this teams fundamentals are right now. I don't agree with the fact that none of these sets are structured at all. It leads to too much isolation play, bad shots and turnovers, and John is a BIG reason why, but that doesn't excuse the fact that these guys are just failing to make simple reads. Shooting threes when they're open instead of dribbling into traffic. Making the simple pass instead of the home run grand slam. Drawing contact instead of contorting away from it for some awkward layup attempt. Biting on every single pump fake regardless of the shooting acumen of their opponents. Not closing out on a shooter just because they're 7 feet tall.

I f'ing hate this team sometimes. I really do.

I couldn't agree more. Everytime I see Hump or Gooden pump fake when they have an open three point shot gets me upset.

Wow, what an ugly game from a Wizards perspective. Might be useful for Wizards team to learn from. For us fans, we need a mind eraser after watching it...
