The Official Washington Wizards Thread

[StillUnknown]

We should be able to squeeze out a "moral victory" once the Spurs rest their starters for the 4th quarter.


Buck sounds so damned depressed.

[Renegade7]

Including the first half of tonight's game, Vesely has 32 fouls to 29 points for the season.

Might be the closest race we see this season.

And the guy who drafted him 6th overall in the draft just got an extension. Nice.


I'm going to do some homework so I can turn my focus away from us getting our face kicked in. I'll just follow the box score, jesus...

[stevemcqueen1]

you jinxed it sir

Apparently the hoop is 6 feet wide on San Antonio's side. We've regressed back to our mean.

I know they're a great shooting team but damn... It's just relentless.

As good as the Spurs have played tonight, Tony P and Duncan have actually been somewhat quiet. They're on my fantasy team and they're below their averages. Seraphin is doing a good job against Duncan considering it's Duncan. Tony P usually annihilates us, surprised he's taken a back seat tonight.

The crowd is openly cheering SA.

The crowd is openly cheering SA.

According to a few beat writers on twitter, an entire section of the arena is decked out in Spurs gear, been cheering loud for them all game.


I hope Ted is enjoying this from his courtside seat.

[stevemcqueen1]

How many losses do you think it'll take for Ted to fire EG and Wittman?

Would 0-35 do the trick?

Part of me is desperate for a single win. The shame of this start is going to get unbearable.

The other part of me is hoping Nene and Wall keep healing on the sidelines and we keep losing in ridiculous levels so that inaction and the status quo can no longer be an option for that son of a ***** Leonsis.

Barron is a stiff. Back to the bench with him.

That NBA record may fall

0-18 is serious possiblity

Crawford using this time to stat pad

[MonkFan8]

Ted had better brace himself. The only reason we looked semi-competent (still without winning a game) up to this point was because of our cupcake schedule (3rd easiest in the league until this point).

It's about to get a whole lot worse.

I wouldn't be surprised if they force Wall and Nene to play hurt to try and get a win and avoid that embarrassment.

I don't know if we'll go 0-18. But I wouldn't be surprised if we go something like 1-25.

LOL. That was horrible by Price.

[Skin'emAlive]

Well, we arent getting close to the 100 mark tonight.

[Destino]

I'm starting to wonder if coaching isn't becoming an even bigger issue than we think. If you tell a bunch of unproven shooters that if they screw up they could be benched. Nervous shooters are bad shooters. The constant lineup changes have to destroy anything resembling chemistry. ... And we've all seen the Xs and Os.

I don't think coaching could possible be worse. Unless we throw a HS coach out there or something.

From a cultural standpoint to preparation to lineups/rotations/Xs and Os, everything is utterly terrible.

We played 11 guys tonight and only 3 players got over 30 minutes (33, 32, and 30 respectively). Again, not a NBA style rotation.

You absolutely can't focus on makes and misses as a coach. That puts counterproductive pressure on any shooter, good or bad. In general, I think our team has been too concerned with makes and misses this year, which is why you see so much hot potato from our team.

The best you can do is try and get the team to focus on creating good shots and getting the ball inside.

LOL that Buck and Phil are talking about next season potentially being a new season! We're 12 games in! It's ridiculous how bad this year already is. That shot of the little girl in the Wizards shirt walking away crying says it all.

[Skin'emAlive]

So... 2 games later Nene is injured and out again. Hmmm... who saw that coming? Vesely almost contributes more fouls than minutes/points/rebounds combined on the floor tonight. And Wall still has no time table for a return. Lets have a round of applause for Ted, EG, Witt, and the amazing clown circus medical staff we have here in DC. It takes alot of fail to get to this point.

[endzone_dave]

5 game packages start at an amazing low price of just $99 per seat. Sorry Ted, stubhub may just have you beat.

[StillUnknown]

Somehow Vesely ends up with (+/-) of +2 despite playing less than 8minutes, not scoring and picking up 4 fouls


My mind is blown

[hockeysc23]

I feel bad for Wizards fans, but this Caps fan is happy Ted's investment is sucking. Wiz fans that don't know Ted are in for a world of hurt following his blog, and don't worry "be happy" attitude.
