Dont count on it. At some point in the season they will somehow **** up the tank job. They can't win at anything, not even losing.

The refs must hate the Wizards, too.

Otto does not suck, hes just not worth what hes getting paid just like Wall, Beal, Manhinmi, coach Brooks etc.


Fine. I guess by that standard, Mahinmi doesn't suck, he's judt overpaid by 16 million dollars a year.

Apathy is kicking in, I'm not even mad anymore.

I'll probably be pushing 50 by the time the Wizards are relevant again.

2 mins left, coming back from a massive run and we get within 1 basket

Rivers remains on the floor.

What the absolute **** Brooks? What are you doing? Why?

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

One of the worst NBA coaches ive seen. Only has a rep because he had a Durant/Westbrook thunder.

I managed to watch to the point where they were trailing something like 81-60 and then skipped to the last ~2 minutes. Wow, they made a comeback but surprise, few bad plays from Wall and game was over. Being a fan of this team is real torture and knowing that Ernie's going nowhere no matter what happens is just heartbreaking.

Well, I guess you missed the part where Wall's outstanding play fueled the comeback. :wink:

You are right :D, but at the end of the day it means nothing if you screw up in the clutch. Let's see how they do tonight against the Heat.

(Edit: on the other hand, of course it's clutch to play well and help the team to make a comeback. Just another frustrating L.)

Seems like Sato should play more, but we already knew that.

Interesting that the team looks really good with Sato alongside Wall or Beal, but when Sato is paired with Rivers, it's an abject disaster.

Those are small sample sizes though. Not sure if we can really conclude much from this.

Recall those Burke/Sato combo outings from a couple years back. Those were the worst! Cannot pair with another scrub and expect any better than epic awful.
