Not really he just don't have a clue. Driving the tank and killing your biggest asset right now is kind of dumbfounded. Beal should not be playing 40 mins a game.

Portis 28 mins, -14. Bryant 16 mins, +0 (0 fouls/0 tos). What the ****.

Johnson 9 mins, 3p (1/5 shooting). Dekker DNP. Wow.

What a freaking joke this team is. I like Sato/Beal/Brown/Dekker/Bryant but the rest is just so lame. Sad times. Meanwhile Porter played 55 mins in a crazy 4 OT Bulls win against Hawks (31p and 25 FGAs). My man Markkanen was also great. Bulls have a nice future as long as they don't screw up this summer.


Soooo Porter... Took him 4 OTs and nearly two games worth of game minutes to put up 25 fg attempts.

Why is Wesley Johnson here? Bigger question why is he playing? :noway:

I thought Brooks was good at developing young players...

My God -- did Brooks make a deal with the devil obligating him to give minutes to Jabari Parker? That must be it.... Right?

Trevor Ariza looks cooked to me -- they are playing this guy 37 minutes a game! Now, despite being awful last night obviously, he has been pretty good overall in his 32 games. He's not playing at the level he played at a few years ago, & there is certainly no reason whatever to re-sign him (except at a vet minimum salary), but he's not a bum like Parker.

Ugh... you really have to hold your nose to be a Wizards fan right now.

Parker’s incredibly hot and cold. One of the most inconsistent players I’ve seen. Some nights he’s been the best, most positively impactful player on the floor.

Jabari has played in 8 games for us. He had a very good first game; he shot well vs. Chicago but otherwise didn't play well; he had a mediocre game vs. Toronto; he did rebound extremely well vs. Brooklyn. That's 2 good games & 2 mediocre games -- the other 4 games (vs. Detroit, Charlotte, Indiana & Boston) he has been awful.

Overall, on all his minutes considered together, he is playing absolutely terribly. Moreover, we are 3-5 since he & Portis joined the team -- & 2 of those 3 wins were against the bottom teams in the league.

I hope we're not going to have to go through the Austin Rivers thing again on this board, where all of a sudden a bum is discovered to be a jewel, a real plus. Jabari Parker is a terrible NBA player.

It was fun watching them lose to Houston yesterday. They got down by over 20 in the first half, and their fans started booing them. They did make a run in the 4th quarter to get the crowd back on their side, but everyone other than Horford and Kyrie just aren't as good as advertised. Maybe they should use Kyrie more like Houston uses Harden.

In fairness. Two good and two mediocre games out of eight total puts him pretty high up there in the Bullets/Wiz Pantheon.
