The Official Washington Wizards Thread

about 40 min from tip-off. We're already down 8.

Seriously, I think a fake funeral out in front of the arena would be awesome.

That funeral is like 5 years overdue, this franchise died the minute Gilbert shattered his knee.

Good point. Either way, I think it would be a symbolic thing like "Hey, if you aren't going to put together a real team, then we're not going to pay real prices" like Mr. Tony kind of suggsted.

The sooner Beal starts to take over games, the sooner I'll at least enjoy watching us get our asses kicked. I really hate seeing us take the contested 3's with 14 left on the shot clock.

I love the idea. Ted needs to know that the plan that he used for the cap simply won't work because he can't luck his way into a superstar and there is no (real) farm system where he can groom future stars.

I'm tired of being embarrassed when I tell people that I'm a fan of this sorry team.

Maybe I should get a second favorite team.

[Buford]

OKC.......follow D.C.'s Son Durant and a small market team that was so close last year. They are easy to root for.

That...... or maybe Portland. That's like a lotto ticket there. they COULD be decent.

Me too. I don't want the Wizards to put me in an NBA coma. The Norv years and the beginning of the Snyder era did it for football for me and it took Joe Gibbs coming back to wake me up.

I've been unable to commit to another team though. I've been on the verge with Dallas or San Antonio for years but I can't pick one and it's sacrilege to like both. Plus both have obviously peaked by now.

OKC is just too easy.

The old school Rockets with the red and yellow back in the 90's were pretty fresh. Before they did the pinstripes and the boring white and red jerseys of today. Rule them out, they're boring.

I liked the Jazz growing up because John Stockton and Hornacek were the absolute best a short white kid like me could ever aspire to be. Plus Malone was awesome to root for. Sort of like how so many white kids in the 80's grew up loving the Celtics. But the Jazz are boring now and their games are never on TV.

Sac town would be no better than the Wizards, but if they moved to Virginia Beach, it would be really, really easy for me to start rooting for them too.

I'm on that Clippers program.

I think I might go and find a Dallas broadcast of the game. Listening to Phil and Buck can be depressing. There is just nothing good to say and it's painful to hear them try and not go off the deep end and find silver linings during periods of utter ineptitude. I want to hear some people talk positively about their team for a change.

The Wizards need to win tonight to get this fanbase to back away from the ledge. The last game was that bad.

[Fight4RGIII]

I want to make a song about how bad Okafor is offensively.

Brad Beal, keep making 3's and getting steals. I dropped Marcus Thorton for you in fantasy.

[Fight4RGIII]

c'mon...NOBODY MAKES BEAL BLEED HIS OWN BLOOD!

[Thinking Skins]

I can see them just setting up for the three and I'm just wondering WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!!!!!

Its like they're challenging the notion that they are a horrible shooting team.

[stevemcqueen1]

The ball is a hot potato. Nobody wants to take the shot. So you end up with too many late clock threes. Or someone will get a wild hare up their ass and then just start chucking awful shots early in the clock.
