this is the worst loss of the season. Period.
We were up double digits! Hard to describe what I just watched. We were completely outplayed in the 4th Q. No words.

I wasn't able to watch last night, nor do I plan to screen it... ever.
With just over 13 minutes left to play, we had a 12 point lead. What in hell happened?

This is the product of a flunkie GM that doesn't know what he's doing. Should have hired Ainge...just sayin.

Pray Dinwiddie figures it out, otherwise this is going to be a long year.

There are so many things wrong with this team it's tough to pint point exactly with what's hurting them but it starts with key contributors just not holding up their end of the bargain.
Beal, Dinwiddie and to an extent Bertans, they're not getting it done.
Then there's the fact that Washington has Neto and Holiday combining for 36 minutes on the floor for who knows what reason.
Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if the Wizards didn't have them platoon the small forward position alongside undersized starter KCP.
Sheppard hasn't thought it necessary to carry a legit SF on the roster since the 2019/2020 season, what's that all about?

That was fugly.
I was just beginning to think they might win up 12 late in the 3rdQ, then boom.
Not sure when we will win our next game.

I was rather dissatisfied with his play. He didn’t drive enough, and took in-opportune jump shots. This is not the same player from early in the season. The confidence seems gone, and he seems to be “thinking” about his next move as opposed to just doing it.
That said, his current play is not the only issue to be solved.

The problem begins with the non exsistence PG the team has. You have no normal playmaker on this team. Neto is trash, Holiday isn't good. Dinwiddie's going down. And yet the coach keeps playing them and watches how they can't run offense well again and again, how they can't give up the ball, especially Neto, with his role of replacing Westbrook's iso and the hard to watch basketball. I haven't talked about Bertans defense yet. Harrel's defense (and rim protection), the P&R defense overall. I think you have a deeper problem of coaching and rotations in this team, rules. In a healthy team Neto would go down to the bench and would not see the floor anymore. You're the coach? be creative, try things, you have more ball handlers in this team, at least try them and give them confidence. If not, then just do some trades already, cause this basketball is hard to watch. Poor Beal.
