Since there's no game thread yet, here are my thoughts:

Move without the %&#@^4$** ball!

Another disastrous start...lack of movement on offense and awful D at the 3 pt line

More thoughts:

Guard the $&*$*#@#*% three-point line!

Is it just me, or do the Wizards, before the game, figure out who the best three-point shooter on any given team is, and then enter into a solemn agreement not to guard them from 3?

Teams score so easily against us, it's just crazy.

I tune into to see the return of the 3 PG lineup! Yay!

It's real important to make sure to get Ish and Neto enough minutes to develop as basketball players. It's crucial to the future of the franchise.

It would be a 3 PG lineup if Westbrook were a point guard rather than an undersized ball-dominant SG who can't actually shoot.

Well, since he's 6-3 and can't shoot, I'm going to call him a PG.

If we lose this, I think Brooks starts actually feeling the heat for the first time this season. He won't be fired, but the pressure will turn up.

Honestly...Brooks is a calamity. More unnecessary roadblocks to the development of our young players. Why not play Troy Brown instead of Neto/Ish?

Unfortunately, he also can't pass. How many times have we watched him try to thread needles into the paint, only to see the ball ricochet out of bounds? The Wizards' big men need to be given a mulligan on the season; it's hard to set up down low with those kinds of passes getting fired your way.

Brooks doesnt know the difference between starters and bench players, no reason Ish and Lopez should be playing this long

Is Garrison Matthews hurt? Is Troy Brown hurt? Is Mo Wagner hurt?

They should fine Hachimura $1000 bucks every time he gets blocked by a shorter player. It happens way too much.

He has to go. I rather have an assistant coaching the team. Zero upside to keep him any longer.

Agreed...perhaps he also needs some coaching? Something Brooks does not provide..

Bad is one thing. Bad and not trying is another thing entirely.
