Basically everyone is having a down year except Mike Scott. He's playing some marshmallow soft bball lately. All these open jumpers in the offense aren't doing him any good, like to see him attack the basket even if he has the wide open jumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Wall had the first healthy offseason of his career, but it looks like he didnt do any basketball activities. Worked out to slim down, but his game has been down right awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Gonna screw around and miss the playoffs losing all of these should be gimme games. If you would have told me that before the season, I would have thought you were nuts. A non 100% Wall changes everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 We're not going to miss the playoffs. And this game was never in doubt. We didn't play well and the Clippers play great defense, but we were always in control. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that is what they were called... Stars and stripes maybe. Calling it that in DC would probably not go over so well.

RonArtest15 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Would this team have looked any different with D'Antoni at the helm? Never in a million years would I have thought a pairing of CP3 and Harden would work due to the latter being so ball-dominant. However, he's got those guys playing out of their minds. A lot of ball yet to be played, but the WCF will probably be better than the Finals overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I just more shocked that they changed directions after the amazing, borderline mvp season Harden had as a point guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'antoni's teams always do this in the regular season, and then fall apart in the playoffs when teams actually start gameplanning specifically for him and his offense gets neutralized and his lack of defense gets exposed. Also Harden is ass in the playoffs when refs tend to swallow the whistle and he can't make 15 FTs a game off cheapie fouls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Pretty sure its just one ref making all these foul & tech calls. Ernie can extend Mike Scott anytime he feels like it... Get it done. Which probably means he'll let him walk...... Edited December 17, 2017 by CRobi21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we can afford him though because we're paying a lot of guys, tons of money, that aren't performing up to their contract. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Gortat loves passing out of what should be a sure dunk for an avg NBA center. ****ing goon. Oubre doesnt look like he staying square when hes shooting the 3. His body is rotating to the right in a clockwise motion. His shot has been off for quite a few games now.

abdcskins Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Somehow I am able to watch this game right now.....Meeks! I don't have the NBA package, I just thought I would try channel 642 and the game comes up. Is DirecTV having a free promotion? Too sloppy with the turnovers.

CRobi21 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) LeBron called for traveling twice and now an offensive foul for pushing off on a drive. What world is this?

Mooka Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 An elementary school team runs more plays then the Wizards. We have the high pick and roll.... We have the stand around and let Bradley Beal shoot a jumper... We have the stand around until John Wall calls for a pick.... Aaaaaand that's about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Wizards starting offense without Wall playing great is absolute trash. No one moves, everything is a contested jump shot. Brooks should be ashamed that he's getting paid for this level of work. Wall is not right and it's obvious. What exactly is wrong with him greatly impacts both short and long term plans. I'm worried.

Skin'emAlive Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 This team as constructed isn't close. That's terrifying. No chance we could beat Cleveland in the playoffs. Lebron owns this city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozo the kKklown Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 When do we start wondering if this team can make the playoffs? Also, we may have 3 injury prone max playerson the books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 We'll make the playoffs, but we're showing after two loses at home to the Cavs that we aren't ready for them.

RonArtest15 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 They’ll make the playoffs, but will be bounced early. Eg has to swing something to try to land another bonafide star. I’d dangle Otto to New Orleans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston gave them a golden parachute from the Kyrie fiasco and they loaded up on Wizards killers. They are a horrible match up for us. Our only avenue for making the ECF this year was to get the one seed and avoid them. They're going to tapdance all over the East once again and lose to Golden State in the Finals. This is 100% certain. The real question is what happens next year. I don't think LeBron is going to leave, I think he's going to lure CP3 somehow. But if he leaves for a Western team, that'd certainly open up the East. Finally. Edited December 18, 2017 by stevemcqueen1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like basketball, and root for the local team, but the eyes don't lie, that team is way deeper then ours, more options for someone to get the job done then us. Its even worse that our starters are not playing as well as last year, which is why I'm not sure if a trade will even matter. Our bench is better, but unless our starters get their act together, we don't stand a chance against the Cavs with LeBron there. That Cavs team is so loaded, I wouldn't understand LeBron going to Houston and having to deal with the Warriors before even getting to the finals. Cavs are on fire even without IT, not looking forward to when he comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, Renegade7 said: Cavs are on fire even without IT, not looking forward to when he comes back. Me neither. The fact that they've been doing what they have without a PG, and that they're going to get one as good as IT in January sucks. He's a perfect fit with all of those wings. Great off ball player when he's on court with LeBron. Volume scoring playmaker when LeBron rests. Kevin Love looks so much better in the #2 role than he did playing third fiddle behind Kyrie. He's a system player and LeBron has been orchestrating this really impressive team-ball offense now that he's got sole possession of the keys and Kyrie isn't there stopping that ball. It's already a great offense, it's going to be so explosive with IT. You won't get a break against them. I will say this, their Achilles Heel is defense. They simply do not have the personnel in the front court to play great defense on a consistent basis and most of their best rotation players are wings, so having Thompson back won't make a big difference. There's not a clear place in the rotation for him any more. Kevin Love has been devastating at C on the offensive end, I think you have to keep him there. Frye has been good too. They keep the floor so well spaced. And then the next issue is that Jeff Green and Jae Crowder are better, more useful players than Thompson. You've got those two plus Korver and LeBron getting all of the forward minutes. Who can you kick out of the rotation to make room for Thompson? So I just don't see a way for them to build a strong defensive rotation without trading personnel--something like trading Green and Frye for a true rim protector and moving Love back to PF. And I don't see this kind of trade materializing for them this season. Hence, I believe the defense is what will eventually cause them to lose to Golden State. They can go shot for shot with the Warriors, but the Warriors play strong D. If the Warriors hadn't gotten Durant, then this Cavs team would be championship caliber. But the Warriors are just too overwhelmingly good now. Edited December 18, 2017 by stevemcqueen1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
