I’m claiming partial credit, with the combo of closest win total (along with longsufferin, FAH1223, DCKings) and playoff seeding (closer than any of them).

What a perfect encapsulation of the utter failure of this franchise. Even us fans on this board are incompetent.

--kind of a collapse of a season. disjointed.

--iso basketball can do that to a team that is without a clear pecking order and players that fully buy into that pecking order.

--better to fill a team with shooters that will move the ball and move without the ball. get everyone touches. synergy.

--at least 3 players on the court must be able to (catch and) shoot lights out from 3 to have a chance. shooing off your own dribble is too easy to defend. catch n shoot players space the floor better for slashers n post play.

--all 5 guys need to play with their head up, not down.

I'm wondering how terrible players like iverson would be in today's game compared to the modern guards like Steph. I'm guessing God awful. In that regard. Wall should be a trade chip this summer to any coach caught up in the old style of play. puff puff thibideau, cough couch.
like i said, its a full rebuild.

I knew Philly would be better but I didn't foresee them winning 50 games THIS season. I also believed Milwaukee would be better than the Wizards. The Knicks and the Hornets did not make the kind of games that I thought. Indiana even got way better.

I could feel the rest of the teams gaining ground on the Wizards and this team would stand rather smug and content to add non-athletes. Wall and Beal are all stars but they don't win the big games. Between them and this coach they are a failure waiting to happen. Not a lot of analytics going on with this bunch. A lot of isolation.

Scott Brooks is a real reason why we were the 8th seed. The good news is they looked a lot better without Wall than I thought they would.

They have talent but they're losers.
Bye bye Beal.

Not me.

I might be generally crazy in real life...but my s*** is on point when it comes to this.
Bye bye Beal.

Return to Washington Wizards
