Convince LeBron to come to DC, but first Cleveland has to lose. Also, LeBron will replace EG for what it's worth although we won't have a first round pick until 2024.

Move the Wiz to Vegas and hope for an expansion team in DC.

YEp, got outcoached, played the wrong players off the bench. Star player shot sub 40% from the field.

We had the talent, massively underachieved.

We flashed all that talent before all star break, certain guys quit playing as the year progressed. How do you drop from 15th in DRPM to 58th in 26 games? Bench got even worse from ADDING Jennings and Bojan. Bench got worse from adding Mahinmi because Brooks wanted to force feed smith minutes out of position.

Wall-Beal-Oubre-Porter-Gortat lineup (which turned the entire season around) wasn't even used in the 2nd half of the season because of the additions of other players.

Was pretty funny watching the finals and Ty Lue's idiocy playing scrub vets like Dwill and Korver over JR and shump when it mattered. Needed athletic players that could defend.

Just know, it will always be like that for our team.

Your one to talk. You get outposted everyday. Your dry stale analysis on constant repeat. Your humorless, nonsensical, irrational and in short you bring the quality of the overall board down. Because of you, little kittens and cute puppies suffer because I just kicked one. If God decided to end humanity today, it would be because he read the last 6 months of your posts.

Good to know that not only can you outcoach Brooks, but you can also outcoach Ty Lue. Anyone out there you can't outcoach? :)

This is good, dat -- & I appreciate it. It points attention away from my pointless dust-up w/ Zards. Thanks.

But I think you should be careful; you're debating a guy who is a better NBA coach than Brooks or Ty Lue -- & he's never even done it! Imagine how good he'd be if they'd let him coach, say, 1 D-League game.

Are you suggesting that Bud and Stevens didn't outcoach Brooks?

God probably would've traded Oubre for Lou Williams also? Right?

God is no respecter of persons, but no, he wouldn't have traded Oubre for Lou Will. Neither would I.

If your assume based on individual awards for each player on GSW (let alone game experience) is better than their counter part on the wiz...and that the one position the wizards have an advantage over GSW is at center...and only when ZachZach plays...we wait for GSW to get old....like the rest of the NBA.

Honestly- why watch the NBA if we don't have cap space and our big off season plan is to sign Otto Porter when he isn't even top 5-10 at his position ---even if Otto was twice as good we would lose to Cleveland...and if we somehow beat Cleveland we would get run by GSWs?

Plus we allllll know Cleveland and Lebron about to retool and Boston is going to start building for the post Lebron East...

The finals really made me really disheartened by the inheritent lack of parity in the NBA... guess it has always been that way but at least we had the illusion of a chance to win.
