Taylor703 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Scott Brooks is such a breath of fresh air. He doesn't let teams come all the way back before he decides to take a time out and all of our young guys are developing rapidly under his tutelage. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True lol Just seems like at time he refuses to dunk. His game down low is finesse and it works, but youre nickname is the Polish Hammer. Hammer it home big man!

RonArtest15 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 It's really hard to believe that the Wizards are at .500. Who would have thought that they'd be gelling like this? Tip of the cap to the starters, the bench, and also to Scotty Brooks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBass1724 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm so glad this team is proving me wrong. It was ugly to watch early on, but it's all starting to come together, Pepper. Silly me for not trusting "the plan" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long n Left Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 9-3 in the last 12. Playing solid ball both ends, and getting bench contributions. Next 6 games are pivotal. 4 on the road. If they can go 3-3 at least, should set them up for a nice run leading into the break. Hopefully stay healthy, get Mahinmi back, and get a top 4 seed in the playoffs. Bad part about this scenario is that it would save Ernie's job for another year or two, most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're starting to feed on the bottom feeders, which is good. Cuz this string of improved play is mostly against them. Thankfully, there's plenty of those to beat to feel good about themselves and get enough wins to get up to 4. But they're not beating anybody good, for the most part. In this recent stretch, they had a nice home win against the Clippers and they beat Charlotte. Other than that, it's a big crop of under .500 teams. But in fairness, most of the losses they were racking up the first couple months were against teams that were always gonna be better than them. Now, they didn't look like a competent team even in defeat most of the time, I get that, but they mostly lost games they were supposed to lose. So is this new success due to team cohesion or quality of opponent? Edited December 31, 2016 by justice98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is this new success due to team cohesion or quality of opponent? To be fair, the East is tremendously mediocre this season. Boston sits 3rd at 20-14. A team can only beat who's on their schedule, and I don't think it's arguable that the team is playing better ball now than in the first few weeks of the season. This was to be expected, though, with the amount of new faces, and a new system in place. I think Wall and Beal are certainly in the discussion of best backcourt in the league, and if Ernie wasn't so inept, and had some young pieces (especially bigs) that could grow with this team, outside of Oubre and Satoransky, I'd be very high on their future. I'd love to get Noel, think he's the athletic rim protector this team needs, but I'm wary of what they'd have to give up to get him. Wouldn't want to mess with the chemistry this team seems to be developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only missed 2-3 games all year, and there's no doubt about it, this is a better basketball team then we saw at the beginning of the season. The bench is playing better and our best players (like Beal) are learning from their mistakes. If Beal plays tomorrow, our game against Houston will give a better answer then I can.

I mean how far back do you have to go before you get to another Wiz/Bullets coach that properly knew when to call timeouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
