Easily the most obnoxious fan base.


Speak for yourselves. The last game thread on here from January was embarrassing as an NBA fan.
I was always told that I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean...

Don't forget Wall was playing like complete ass before the break. I won't let some fancy dunk make me forget he was really struggling going into AS weekend.

And I don't think Ted will see any error: queridiculo has argued convincingly that he's getting what he wants. We don't have to be a real good team for that to happen.


I'm a fan too. But I refuse to fall into the pitfalls of mediocrity. I want CHAMPIONSHIPS. The RIGHT WAY.

For a Raptors fan, this is puzzling. You guys had Colangelo leading you for so many years as GM and he was HORRIBLE.

Masai comes in and radically clears salary and has your squad in great position moving forward...

I want the same thing. I want this front office gone. I want real structure in place.

The only way it will happen is ABSOLUTE FAILURE for this season and we need to tank. It's good we're playing a lot of sub .500 teams after the All Star break because the Wizards play down to their competition. It's perfect really.

Should be a good game. Two young players coming off the high of their first all star games and both teams making a push for playoff seeding.

Still think you guys have one of the best starting 5s in the league (just look at that 2k14 rating that only considers starters!), but that bench...only difference makers I see are Webster and Booker.

Hope your GM takes a long look at what Portland did last offseason. They had a similar situation with a great starting 5 with little to no depth.

This game will be won by the backcourts, all comes down to who's better tonight! Lowry will be looking to make a statement to Wall following his snub.

I see. Makes sense. I thought you guys wanted a playoff appearance, but I totally get that. We were like that for 6 years. Let's hope we both get what we want 8-)

Remaining strength of schedule.. you could argue that we have the easiest remaining schedule in the league since we're a better road team than home:

Stop trying to make tanking happen people. It's not going to.

We Win. I`m not recording the game. When I don`t record we win, when I do we lose. I recorded the last two games. Epitome of mediocrity.

Come on Wall. Take one more step back and make it a 3.

That was about a long a 2 as you could take.

They didn't come out hitting but at least they came out with energy.

I think they will get it going and start hitting soon.

I have seen that from a few teams now.

Thats what you do when someone runs you off the 3. You dribble forward and then pass back to another player open on the 3 line.

I want to see the Wizards learn how to do that.

Wall taking long two's and not attacking. Don't forget, Wall sucked before the break, taking long two's to start things off...

Return to Washington Wizards
