Warriors fan here, great game.

I was reading your guys' game thread hours before the game started. A majority of you were talking about how you were going to lose to the Warriors. It's funny because once I read your negative posts about your team it made me get that feeling that the Wizards would pull off a win. For some reason every time I see another team moaning in their game thread about how they're about to lose to the Warriors, they end up beating the Warriors. Reminds me of when we lost to Brooklyn... everyone on the Nets board was expecting a 20 point blowout. lol.

We want Ernie Grunfeld fired so we kind of want to miss the playoffs because that's the only way Leonsis will change up the front office. It's why I'm hoping we start to lose but this group is too damn mediocre to lose games en mass

Ernie burned this year's first round pick for just this mediocrity.

He keeps his job and status quo, being he's the GM of a team that averaged barely 30 wins the last 10 years.

Beal and 3pt shooting is a far distant secondary thing to me. This game is mostly all about Wall. If hes passive like the past 2 games then we are getting skunked but I'm betting he says screw Witt and goes back to attacking. He is going out to prove he's a true All Star who should be starting who should've made team USA, is as good as Curry, and wants payback for getting kicked out last year in the middle of the stretched when he was torching reams.

If that guy shows up, don't be shocked if we win since we're on the road, its not for .500 and we've beaten 2 very good teams recently despite losing to 3 scrubs

Good point. Are we below .500? Win. Are we at .500? Loss.

OMG I AM SOOOOOOOOOO SMART!!!

You guys will definitely make the Playoffs lol. It'll be fun watching Wall and Beal play on the big stage, though. Both have a ton of potential.

FAH1223 doesn't speak for all of us. Some of us want a new GM but we don't want to miss the playoffs. I want the Zards to win every time they play.

Watching now. Wall really needs to get those careless turnovers under control. Some of those to's were ridiculous.

Uh oh, that means tonight we should like... read a book or something instead of watching a sure loss.

Gortat's last few minutes....

Hard to believe neither team scored a point in the last 1:27.

They were gassed IMO. I think the first half took less than an hour real time. The game was non stop running too. Especially at one point in the fourth where it was like, turnover, fast break, turnover, fast break for four straight minutes.

The guards were really doing some work on the perimeter.

GS plays with a lot of energy. We wore each other out.

As does your team. GS is still streaky but they're well balanced and downright dangerous offensively. I don't love the Jordan Crawford trade for you all since I didn't think much of him when he played for us. But he's an upgrade over your situation from before. You pretty much saw everything he can do in limited minutes last night. Get into the paint and score aggressively, make some spectacular shots, and then shoot just as many horrible ones that don't even come close.

The Wizards will make the playoffs, we're just hoping we get higher than the 7th or 8th seed. We don't want to play Indy or Miami. I'm looking forward to the playoffs even if we don't make it past the first round.
