I'm looking for some serious 't'row da bums out' action tomorrow after this showing!

I'm not watching but I wonder how long Ted will stomach this--he was all about making the playoffs and NEVER TANKING, I really hope he doesn't change his mind and hire another Ernie if we set the record for most losses in a season.

I’ve been wondering how Ted will react. I don’t think he will fire Winger (too cheap if nothing else), but I do think would add some vets and less minutes for youngsters next year.

This loss is pretty disgusting in all honesty. I don't even know what this team is trying to accomplish anymore. They aren't improving..AT all.

I'm still confused as to why Carrington and George get so many undeserved minutes. The two of them are awful, especially George. He keeps getting starts which is just mind boggling.

This team isn’t playing the same game as the other team right now.
Yes, lose — great, that’s the goal. But by 30-35 pts EVERY night? And with the featured players looking like dogs? And at home against a mediocre squad that plays on the west coast and has been on a road trip?

In other words, trash the rebuild after one season and go back to the treadmill of being a 30-40 win team. Let's hope Ted doesn't make a panic move like that after one season.

There are many other problems than Kuzma’s abysmal performances, but the pitchforks are out in social media…

The rookies and Bilal are regressing. It’s becoming unbearable to watch this team any more.
This is normal, it's called hitting the rookie wall. They are used to seasons less than half as long, longer rests between games, and they just break down. Not every rookie of course, but it's common enough to have its own term for it. The problem is that they weren't playing that well before they rookie wall either so when they get worse, it's pretty atrocious.
JV is our only better than average offensive player and he is a below average defensive big. Poole has been our only other average offensive player under contract and he's a way below average defensive guard.
Our next two best players are Champagnie and Butler and they are on 2-ways which the team isn't converting. I was speculating on why; might it be because we don't want to lose one to an expansion draft? I hope we sign them for next year and actually play them.
Defense is worse than offense if anything. Tank is pretty strong though.

The tank is stronger than it needs to be (obviously). If we're 1 win worse than the next best team,
our odds at #1 are the same as if we don't win another game.

They were playing so much better before... They only lost 13 games before that by a smaller margin.

Wow Kuzma sucks. Please get rid of this clown. These players are SO SOFT now a days. Getting paid millions to put up that effort and mad when someone calls you on it.

I'm watching college basketball (Saturday 2/1), and I see several players better than any of the young Wizards.TGW wrote:I'm still confused as to why Carrington and George get so many undeserved minutes.

Ryan Kalkbrenner is better than Alex Sarr.
Caleb Love is better than Bub Carrington.
Wooga Poplar is better than Kyshawn George.
Bye bye Beal.

They are all a few years older I suppose than the Wizards players but sometimes the older guys develop better than the younger guys in the league.
