The players caring more or trying harder won't fix the team. They need better players. And better coaching. And better GMing. Fixing the last of those items will likely lead to fixing the other two.

There's a 5 game home stretch after the game in Chicago. If the team were to lose most if not all of the home games, I think a change would be made. Outside of that its doubtful.

I can't see a scenario where any change is going to be made, because even if we go 10 games under .500 we'll still be in the playoff hunt.

I think 37 wins gets you in... so you probably right.

Hey Wiz fans, I hope we have an entertaining and injury-free game tonight. I like your players and feel like.. you've been unlucky in years past. I like your team basically.

Why the love/hate for our luvabulls ?


On the subject of Noah, I don't think our FO would trade him except for a big piece, because he's on a very friendly contract. Deng's was expiring.

And the road back to mediocrity begins TONIGHT!! :lol: Sorry, Im still reeling from the Caps dropping their 2nd loss of the season to the leagues absolute worst team last night.. All due to having 1 goaltender so far into their head, they lose before the 1st puck is dropped... :cry:

So instead of starting Nene/Kevin S, Nene/Ves, Gortat/Ves or Gortat/Kevin, Randy is starting Nene and Gortat ?

Well back to the bench sucking again. Not sure how he is going to work through the line ups without playing Beal and Nene to much like he did last time.

@SoRandy

Well, at least he isn't sending Booker out there to get eaten up by Boozer. Glad that experiment is over. Maybe in typical Randy fashion, he will go from Nene starting with Gortat to Gortat to the bench with one of Kevin and Ves starting. Should take about 2 more weeks for him to get there.

Nothing ever goes in a straight line with Randy. By mid season he should be starting the line ups and rotations he should have started the year doing.

It would be like going from one of the luv-a-bulls to Buffy.

Glad to see Nene back in the starting lineup.

Let's see if the young bucks can finally manage to step up and show some production off the bench.

Shocked to see a quick start. I don't remember the last time we've forced the opposing coach to take a timeout in the first 5 minutes.

Just a better team with one of Nene or Webster in the starting line up.

They are team leaders. They help Wall and Beal settle down.

Despite being up 6 on a high FG%, I am not liking our odds. On one side, you've got Chicago running crisp screens - Dunleavy slipping Beal on every cut - and cutting toward the hole aggressively; the Wiz, on the other hand, are showing some good floor spacing but raining long 2's that just happen to be falling. That's a recipe for another L.
