So many years of cynicism and bitching and fussing about things. I figure its fair to have a thread dedicated to saying good things about the squad. Not for 'I told you so's' or that sort of thing, :clown:

but if you want to post a mea culpa my bad I was wrong on here and drop some of your past negativity, in this thread you can bask in saying good things and just be happy for a few seconds. Win or lose this squad has been tough and full of heart and satisfying to watch this year. I love our young core, I love the energy or pick ups like Jason Smith. Love the chemistry of the team and leadership shown by our own point god teh Wallstar John Wall. So check in if you feel like saying something good about the team.

Positivity my friends. This thread is not for picking fights, its for all fans to get a chance to redeem their happiness in how cool it is to root for a squad this badass. Off topic posts will be reported :clown:

I gotta say it: this team is probably more fun than the peak Arenas teams. Definitely been a joy to watch everything come together for this squad

It's not only the fact that TRUE Wizards fans are being rewarded. What I really love is how FAKE Wizards fans are being paraded through the streets in soiled diapers and giant CUCKOLD hats as punishment for their impatient fake fandom. Bring a squirt gun filled with warm yellow liquid and join in on the fun. An NBA championship is practically an afterthought compared to righteous justice. Now THAT is positivity, just what Dr. Positivity ordered.

GO WIZ!!!!!

EG turned a putrid bench into a fine bench on the fly midyear. Looking at the bench now: Mahinmi, Smith, Bogdonovic, Oubre, Satoransky, and Jennings, that's a quality bench that is coming together right when the team desperately needs to be able to rely on the bench, because the starters carried the team for most of the season. This is like the first time I've ever seen EG manage to come through like that, but better late than never. I'm seeing a team that might just make the finals, and I have to give EG a little credit for putting it together.

Where's milellie?

This team is on FIYAH!!

I must say, the team really does have a lot of good pieces that fit together well. The big concern is Morris' inconsistency. When he's playing like Draymond Green lite, then our starting lineup has everything you need in a contender, and our bench can outplay most opposing benches.

Happy to be wrong about this team.

She posted 2nd in this thread. I reported her for taunting :clown:

OFF TOPIC POSTS WILL BE BANNED!! there's plenty of other threads for that.

I'm actually enjoying the double digit comebacks. Yeah that's unsustainable long term, but it means that even when we are ridiculously far behind I still stay with the squad because at any moment we can make a run. It makes it easy to cheer for the crew if you feel like every game has a chance if we just dial in and focus. The talent is there to hang with anybody, the question is only execution and effort.

I also love that player success gets rewarded by Brooks. Kelly Oubre is really developing, I love seeing his changing game earn him additional playing time. I especially liked him in that small ball line that we used tonight. No Ian, no Gortat, and we sill snuffed 'em. He and Otto are long enough that they could switch off on LeBron and there was no real drop off either way. Brad is strong enough, John is all over them. We only need Morris to be angry enough to pay attention and we're good.

The sequence where LeBJ tried to back John into the post, he was distracted by Otto creepin in on him and Wall held his ground long enough until he could knock the ball free and convert at the other end. Times like that, when John becomes a Wall and all others pitch in, yeah our defense pleases me.

But Kelly is the one player on this squad who can consistently make me stand up out the chair for his defense alone.

The fact that Otto had a late season slump when we integrated Bogey suggests he may be a little cheaper to re-sign in the offseason.

July is far enough away from the end of the regular season that I don't think what happens now will matter for Otto's free agency. Frankly, I think he can only solidify his ability to demand a max/near max deal by having a good postseason.

I'm not sure this is positive enough for this thread. Care to rephrase? Or do you need to be reported for posting off-topic in a thread... :clown:

This is a funner team than Arenas led teams

MikeTheKid · Post #19 » by **MikeTheKid** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 1:47 pm

As much fun as it is to watch this team right now is it ECF or bust for this teAm? Is it longer run or done? I'm positive We have the talent to make it to the Finals representing the east

I can cheerfully say with big-hearted Wizards fan enthusiasm that doc has the quickest reporting first step in the league right now across all metrics. It was just a one post slump on S-Mac's past, and after a conversation with Brooks, squeen will quickly reintegrate into the team's upbeat posting scheme.
