Hersh Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 1 minute ago, Destino said: Bertans is far from awful.... but you can’t utilize a monster shooter if you don’t run any damn plays. The wizards play like they’re playing pick up basketball. Everyone just does their own thing, and it absolutely kills the second unit that doesn’t feature star power shot creators. What would it hurt to run some off ball screens? Will the players burn down the arena if asked to set screen for someone other than the dribbler? Every team does this stuff.... except for Brooks, who doesn’t believe in running plays. Maybe awful is a tad much, but when one gets 5 years, $80 million, one should be more than a spot up shooter.

Conversely, an nba head coach with two all nba caliber guards, should be able to get a 6’10 sniper some quality shots. You think Pop or Kerr would struggle to get Bertans shots? Klay can score 30 points without dribbling. Know what the difference is? Brooks is a boob that doesn’t believe in scripted movement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not absolving Brooks, but Bertans is 6'10 and has had some looks. If he's not the third highest paid player, it's not much of an issue to me, but there seems like better ways to spend that money. Maybe a more traditional 3 and D guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except we didn't have that money to spend on any other player. Only had it for Davis because we had his Bird Rights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like moves are made by this organization without any actual plan. They drafted Deni, then re-signed Bertans two days later. Was there a conversation about how they two guys would work on the same roster? Cause it sure doesn't seem like there was any thought put into it. It's like they weren't prepared to draft Deni. For that matter, who loses minutes with Hui gets back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Can we bring back Randy Witman, the best coach this team had in possibly three decades. This team hasn’t played a second of defense since he was fired. Edited December 28, 2020 by No Excuses 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deni and Bonga are SFs Rui is the starting 4 and Bertans is his backup at PF If the wizards have glaring roster weaknesses its starting Center and backup SG. They should be a hell of a lot better than they’ve played through three games... but as is the norm with Brooks, his team is worse in practice than on paper. That’s how a team with multiple future MVPs and Ibaka only makes one finals appearance (and gets blown away). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been underwhelmed the past 3 games. He'll make a few good drives, but you really need more putput from your starting SF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if we shouldn't start Lopez at the 5. We need the defense and the paint presence. Also- Have you guys noticed how little time Westy and Beal spend on the floor together?

Skin'emAlive Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Remember that time this franchise traded away the soul of the team + a 1st in a lateral move, kept the same bum for a coach and GM, and ended up no better at 0-3 to start the season?

Renegade7 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Is Bryant like McGee in that he can't get right but we'll wish he was here later in his career? I'll watch, this is a bad basketball team right now, ugh. Underachieving AF Edited December 30, 2020 by Renegade7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Do fans wish McGee was here later in his career? Serious question: What shooting percentage from 2 makes shooting less 3s a preferred scenario? The Wiz have been shooting 60+ percent inside the 3 point line and not shooting well from outside.
