There are no words to describe how bad that is.

Pistons won. We are now alone in the basement.

Ted's thinking "we've been in every game but one. the plan is working."

I remember that day when we signed Lester Hudson. I thought to myself, "Finally, this is it. The final puzzel piece to put this team over the top." Little did I know, I was more incorrect than the time I thought the trade of Jermaine Taylor would bring enough cash to put us in the playoffs.

If Sacramento offered to swap franchises with us, would you all take it?

Would you rather be in basketball purgatory stuck around .500 every year, or root for one of the three worst teams in the league each year?

If the Wizards continue like this for years, and Sacramento moves to Va Beach, how many would begin to root for the new Va Beach team as their primary team?

This fanbase deserves better than this.

I don't think the wizards situation is hopeless if Grunfeld is fired. I don't think the team is nearly as bad as we're seeing, just like Rashard Lewis was not nearly as bad as he looked while here. Grunfeld created the environment that prompted guns in the locker room and now allows absolute half assed disinterest. His drafting and decision making is absolute ****.

Once he's gone this team could improve quickly. Just as they would have had they signed OJ Mayo, an absolute steal in FA, or traded for Harden... Instead we got Okafor and Ariza. Make no mistake about it, those two clowns eating up salary will keep us trapped until we can get rid of them. The point is the opportunities to improve have been there.

After that they need an ******* coach that runs a rigid offense. You run it or you sit your ass down. A GM willing to allow that attitude is a must. This team needs structure badly because they lack play makers. Strong x and o's are a must.

Get that and this team is good next year. Fail to do that and we get more of this ****.

I predicted we'd be either 1-6 or 2-5 by this point...There really needs to be a lineup change. Beal isn't ready for the NBA's best perimeter defenders and he gets absolutely no respect on his drives. We can beat teams...we just ****ing lose our minds in the last half of every fourth quarter.

The thing thats going to be even more crippling...is that if Wall does come back...and does lead us to some positive growth...I don't think we'll be in a good enough draft position to cash in. Vesely needs to be sent to the D-league and emeka just needs to be benched. Its obvious we get our best looks when we run the offense through seraphin. Randy needs to stop playing these political games for the sake of Ernie and start the best players. Booker also needs to learn how to switch on pick and roll D. He's been atrocious in almost every phase of the game this year.
