The Official Washington Wizards Thread

Nope. Can't do that.

Don't want to give up a chance at Wiggins/Parker.

If everyone is healthy, we've got no shot at a top 2 pick next year.

I'm willing to go on the record that the Wizard's will play above 500 basketball the rest of the way, starting when Wall returned. I know this is just the Magic but the Wizards look like a real, competitive team with Wall back.

The difference is amazing to see. You just don't realize how expertly John spaces the floor and how impactful his leadership is until it's gone for a long time and you suddenly get it back.

His energy level and aggressiveness has also been a big boost. I'm thinking John has been majorly underrated by the basketball world because the team has been so bad the past two years. He's on the threshold of being really special IMO.

I hate to be that guy but I do have some complaints. Areas I see for improvement anyway. First I think John still gambles a bit too much and he'll play too fast and occasionally get stopped in what he's trying to do and then have to bail out and get the ball to his teammates in bad spots. Happened with Seraphin earlier and Seraphin ended up having to hoist a terrible shot. I think John is also too aggressive with all of those double teams on defense and he puts too much pressure on his teammates to rotate to cover his man. And eventually he is going to have to start scoring more efficiently from the field. That I'm not too worried about, I realize he has a long road back in front of him.

But yeah, he's pretty great. I'm still kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. But at the level they've been playing the last three games, it's not crazy to think they can play .500 ball or better in the second half of the season. Assuming nobody has any setbacks with injuries...

All this without Jordan Crawford...

Anyone think Brad's dad looked at his wife back in the day and say, "Let's make a Beal."

That's a big "IF" when it comes to the Wizards.

Chris Singleton still can't get minutes

Holy crap, our bench looks really good!

[MonkFan8]

Feels nice to just blow the heck out of a team. Just toying with them now

Thats a pretty wicked crossover.

Vesely and Seraphin killing it out there.

On a side note, hands11 has surfaced! Spotted him on TruthAboutIt.

No joke Singleton's disappearance has been depressing. I had high hopes for him after he had some good games earlier in the year.

I can't believe we just scored 120 points. The offense didn't miss a beat after we put the bottom of our roster in.

Great to see them bounce back and play well. I'd love to see them keep developing front court chemistry like they showed tonight.
