The Official Washington Wizards Thread

[RonArtest15]

We're also kidding ourselves to think that Wall will stick around if things don't get better quickly. No loyalty in the "new" NBA. There may be a mantra of "patience" or "rebuild," but if things don't trend upwards VERY soon...we'll be right back at square 1, which is where we are now. There is A LOT of pressure on the FO, Ted, etc to get things right....there is a small window of opportunity and it will close if things aren't done correctly.

*On top of it all, next year's FA class is weak if I remember correctly...I'm not sure what can be done realistically to get this team competitive. We're light-years behind squads like Chicago, Miami, New York, etc....also, in regards to Wall...elite PGs like Paul, Williams, Rose, etc have NEVER had it as bad as he does with the Wizards teams of the past two years that surround him. He may look at his peers and think about what things could be elsewhere. I hope that's not the case, but I wouldn't blame him one bit if he bails (if things don't get 100x better).

Booker and Seraphin are still playing. They're hungry. Especially Booker.

[No Excuses]

Somehow, there is a player on this roster with worse shot selection than Blatche.

Way to go Jordan Crawford. Juan Dixon had better shot selection than him. It seems like the coaching staff has checked out as well. No interest in lineup adjustments or yanking players when they are playing like a bunch of selfish idiots.

I've said it every game, we look like a collection of 5 random guys thrown together for a pick-up game.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

This upcoming draft is it. Our 1st round pick is going to decide what the next decade holds for us. We need to hit, and we need to hit on a STAR.

+1

I wouldn't be surprised if statistically, this squad so far is off to the worst offensive start in NBA history. This offense reminds me of the putrid play you see in NCAA games.

It really sucks when you think about it. I look at it this way:

Think of yourself working a 9-5 job. You're at the job for 2-3 years, and have had little-to-no growth professionally. You still go about your business, but if you can't see yourself advancing your career, what do you do? You start exploring your options and looking elsewhere. This is what I truly believe Wall's mindset is right now. We all know how competitive he is and how much he hates losing. What's the plan? What exactly can this team do to become competitive? Indy and Philly have seemingly become up-and-coming teams in the East. THAT is where I want this team to be. Not a laughing stock, which we are now.

EG is a miserable GM as well.

EG is a miserable GM as well.

I want him gone as well. I have very little faith in him to get this next pick correct.

[skinfan2k]

thats why the hawks gave up on him. Crawford will be nothing in this league. not sure why people liked what he brought to the floor.

[SiCkSoULjA]

The whole team stinks I don't think it's fair that Crawford and Dre gets all the blame even though they deserves some. Wall is shooting a pathetic % he just isn't effective at all, Nick Young is very streaky and he has be stinking up the joint. McGee got embarrassed but at least it was vs the best center in the league. Rashad Lewis sucks period contract or not, Saraphine and Mason Jr sucks. Booker plays hard but he isn't really that talented, Singleton has been playing solid defense so far but other than that he chucks up bricks from the 3 point line as a matter of fact I am yet too see him move any where inside the arc. The coaching sucks the team is just full of fail

[B.Lloyd]

Ted is a terrible owner. You will not win in the NBA by exclusively building through the draft, period. Instead of stockpiling "talent", why did we not package all of those picks and bring in a legitimate star like Rudy Gay.

This is a star-driven league and you simply will not win by banding together a bunch of good players (Nuggets, Grizzlies). You need to get stars and at all costs!!!

[Skin'emAlive]

That was one of the worst games of basketball I have seen in quite some time. I mean no one even understands what a pick and role defense is. How is that possible? Wall can drive to the basket, but he can't finish nor can he pass to anyone's hands. Shot selection is increasingly terrible. Ugh, I am finding it harder and harder to explain why I watch this team play when someone walks in

[WALL-LE]

HOW DID WE GET THIS MUCH WORSE IN ONE OFFSEASON????
this blows my minds, we suck so much harder than last year. I will be amazed if we win over 10 games this year.
Ive been watching every wiz game for the past couple years even though they sucked. Ive never seen them down by 20 literally every single game this season..
They are un watchable
Wall needs to stop being so passive he's supposed to be a "franchise player" he needs to start playing like one..

That's the key to winning in the NBA.

You guys are so freaking negative.

I have been saying this all along.

Cleveland got lucky with Lebron.

Maybe we get lucky at some point.

Otherwise it's the curse of les bulez

[Destino]

I didnt see the game but a quick glance at the box score tells me they still can't shoot. It's hard to blame Blatche and Crawford when none of these guys can shoot. McGee got dominated by the looks of it but I expected that. Do the wizards have a shooting coach? They need to tell players to show up early and stay late with one.
