Fellas, the inevitable drought has arrived just in time to make things interesting down the stretch. We've seen this flick before. Hang on.

Arena is E.M.P.T.Y has it been that way all game, or did everyone leave when we had a 15pt 4th qtr lead? Hopefully it was empty all night..

I'm genuinely rooting for us to lose this game. I say that with no sarcasm or snark. I pump my fist when the Blazers score, I smile when the Wizards miss. That's ... not how things are supposed to work, right?

I'd like to be impressed that our bench is killing their bench but our whole team is the bench

When not one of your starters is considered an expert dribbler, this is what you get in the last five minutes of games. Without expert dribbling skills, because you need dribbling skills in order to force a defender to bite on pump fakes and get contact. Beal, Singleton, Seraphin, Okafor...not one of them is considered top five dribbler in the league at their respective position. Grunfeldian culture at its best. Best bet is to hope the refs bail us out. Crawford is really our best bet but he lacks any kind of first step explosiveness so none of the refs feel he deserves a call even if he does get a little contact. Seraphin lacks any ball handling ability to get a defender to bite on a pump fake and neither does Okafor. Just go to my player development thread. Had these issues been addressed immediately in the offseason instead of seeing it on display in game 12. Again, not one of your starters is consistently able to get to the line in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter..none of your post players can handle the ball. you star lottery pick can't handle the ball. YOur chucker can't get to line because he isnt explosive and he frail. LOL...the suffering of the a wizard fan all ties back to Grunfeldian culture. Newman hurry and get your assistance in house.
Build your team w/5 shooters using P. Pierce Form deeply bent hips and lower back arch at same time b4 rising into shot. Elbow never pointing to the ground! Good teams have an engine player that shoot volume (2000 full season) at 50 percent.Large Hands

Another moral victory in the books!

I feel the same way, but I don't want the players to suffer or for Wittman to be fired.

I want them to lose out of protest to EG and Ted. I know it isn't right, MJG.

Let's pretend we want them to win, then they'll find a way to mess this up.
