Renegade7 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) It doesn't even really look like an offense, more like they are just trying to play as fast as possible. Its not organized chaos, its just looks like chaos. Simmer down, and they'll be fine, though, because I agree they have the talent to compete.

TheItalianStallion Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 We actually out rebounded them, shot fine at the FT line, yet still lost by double digits. 25 TOs is horrible. What the heck happened to the top 10 D we were putting out the past couple years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Did someone tell Randy that a fast-paced offense means you run as fast as you can? Because that is all we are doing. Guard the passing lanes, double wall/beal with help off the 4, and hit your shots. Thats literally the only game plan you need against this team right now.

Going Commando Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Team is playing like utter **** right now. Our point differential is awful for 3-3 and it's a little scary how close to 0-6 we've actually come. This is a very disappointing start to the year, and playing like this, we'll be doing well to come out of November with 8 wins or so. They weren't ready for the start of the season. Our FA class looks like ****. We signed two injured players that put us two men down going into the season, and Webster and Blair mean we're already two men down permanently. We've got an 11 man roster more or less. Gooden looks done too. We just have so few options. The depth was supposed to be solid this year and it looks awful. We can not afford for Beal to be hurt. That is a potentially killer injury. Ernie has to make some moves. The front court is unacceptable. We're pissing away a season of Wall's prime if we keep the roster as is.

RonArtest15 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) This team is 6 games into the season...and now we're not going to win 50? This offense will take time to iron out it's kinks. The turnovers, well...it's a matter of the Wizards shooting themselves in the foot. I do agree that something needs to be done to shake up the front court, but there's a tad bit of overreaction going on from a few folks in here. Sky isn't falling. Let's give it 10 games to get a clearer picture as to what this team is all about. *Read in the comments section on BF that the Hawks last year at the 10 game mark were .500 with losses to Charlotte and the Lakers. R-E-L-A-X. Edited November 8, 2015 by RonArtest15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I agree with Ron, it's too early for the sky is falling routine. We're 6 games into a 82 game season. Relax already. Why did anyone think you could change the offense and a team with this much turnover was going to hit the ground running? Of course there will be an adjustment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'll feel better about the current state of the team when I see the first game where we aren't outplayed by our opponent. This team would be 0-6 if not for individual heroics from Wall and Beal. The team itself is playing like absolute garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 It hasn't mentioned but personally, I think not having Anderson & Martell is having an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Yeah it definitely is. Two men down. Martell's career is over. He's been a five million dollar/roster spot handicap for the past three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor703 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The issue is Grunfeld. He can't draft, he makes signing injured plays an priority and he's putting all of his eggs in the Durant basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I don't think we put all of our money on Durant. We have Wall and Beal and Porter is looking like he has the potential to be a good third wheel. The problem is the roster around them isn't very good right now. But there are several different paths we can take to spend that Durant money if he stays in OKC. Grunfeld is a problem. He's not a great drafter and his FA signings this summer are looking questionable. The lack of young talent in the front court has finally come up. Old, slow legs are having trouble keeping up with our new pace, and they're also getting eaten alive on the defensive glass. Gortat is the only player among our bigs that's really worth keeping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Well, I think its pretty clear that the FA plan which was put into place 2 years ago, was to seek out players on deals that end after this season. That will typically be a poor player who is playing for a better contract, or an injured player. Good players in FA get money and longer contracts. So our plan basically is all in on Durant, and has been for 2-3 years. If we win the lottery and get Durant: We have 2 starting quality 3's and another young gun in Oubre who has tons of potential. We would still have a huge hole at the starting 4 spot and backup 5 spot. If we lose the lottery and Durant signs back with OKC: There is almost no one available in the FA who is a starting quality 4. Our best shot is probably a trade to Phoenix for the other Morris twin. As long as it doesnt cost us Oubre or a 1st, I could live with that. Though, I dont see how we could get him for anything less than that. A backup 5 can always be found if you are willing to pay. But they wont be young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 So far, the Wizards are turning the ball over 18.9 times per 100 possessions (Stats courtesy of NBA.com). To no one's surprise, that's worst in the league. The Wizards have an assist/turnover ratio of 1.15/1; that ranks them 27th in the league. To say the Wizards have a turnover problem would be an understatement. http://www.bulletsforever.com/2015/11/9/9692146/washington-wizards-team-observations-pace-space-bradley-beal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebreaker Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) I'm officially concerned. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/thunder/2015/11/09/kevin-durant-road-trip-washington-free-agency/75438838/ " It’s easy to get your hopes up and expect a guy to come to your team or whatever — and I’m not talking about myself, I’m just talking about free agency in the past years and in the future — you get your hopes up as a fan, and then they let you down and you end up not liking the player."

Now I think every provider in the sre carries it, just not all in HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we end up landing KD, which I'm definitely doubting at this point...the Thunder can easily make a case that a stunt like that could be considered tampering.
