The sadness, no Rockets Vs Wiz GT (edit -- THIS is the Game Thread)

Get er up someone, Tip-off at 7.

Pine's edit. This is the sad, Ernie-inspired game thread. Congratulations Leonsis and Grunfeld, you've robbed the joy from a basketball board that is filled with fans of the franchise. Imagine the apathy or disdain more casual fans (or worse yet, hard-core fans) of the Wizards feel because of your joint incompetence.

Apathy has set in by the 6th game. A new record!

We're probably already at the point where the best case scenario is to lose as many games as possible, not because we need to tank for a draft pick, because even that isn't going to help. What is needed is 3 years of sustained losing concurrent with the team payroll being over $100M a year. We need Ted Leonsis to feel enough financial pain that he capitulates and sells the team.

We need EG gone and we need Ted gone, and that's the only way it's going to happen.

Wishfull thinking Nate but I got your point. I like this sentences - there is only one person who can fired everyone from the chairman to the bottom - consumer, just simply spending money somewhere else. I wish Ted to lose as much money as possible to feel our pain. I want new owner who is passionate with his actions and new GM. If not i hope Wall goes to better team and try win chips.

Apathy set in for me long before the season started. I guess that means i am ahead of the curve.

ducler, I'm guessing you do this for all games, and thanks for that. Some on this board bring good graphics skills to to a game thread, but some are more like me, starting a game thread with not much more than teams and time. Your game previews are much appreciated.

Temple is playing a lot for Sac of course he can't hit **** when I watch him

Raps has few young players in Siakam and Poethl or somethin like that and both are way better than any bigs who plays for us in second unit. We spent milions they have quality for free. Frustrating. Siakam guy is a type of player I wish we had. Good hustle player defending blocking rebounding running and helping his teammates all the time. But picks for Ernie are worthless...

You also have a sense of humor, which is required in order to survive Wizards fandom

We could barely get a game thread for the second game if I recall correctly.

The last time the Wizards were this depressing this was a thing.

I haven't seen him play, but his stats show him to be a very productive backup big in about 20 mpg, with one of the highest TS% of his career.

Tres bien, Dulcer! Merci.

Like montestewart and Tricky_Kid, I have very limited graphics etc skills.

Closg00 did more than I ever have when he

.. started a game thread.

Bravo!

I second pineappleheadindc's edit. Grunfeld's syndrome ... Or, apathy has taken hold.

Hapless can be humorous.

I gotta laugh at some of my failures in life. The ones that are particularly gut wrenching and agonizingly annoying have inspired me to make merry my heart.
