Skin'emAlive Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I stand by my statement. Feeder franchise behind a terrible owner. Trading wall was a huge mistake. Westbrook is a good player, but his ability to hit shooters in stride is miles behind John’s. John plus Bertans, Deni, and Beal is a better offensive set than Westbrook. Also, I thought one of the upsides to trading for Russell was that he’d be available. Yet he’s sitting games out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not convinced we gained the superior player at this point in their careers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A feeder franchise, or farm team exists as a minor league squad for real contenders. The wizards draft players with actual skill sets, force them into positions they can’t succeed in, scape goat them later, devalue them, and then a contender picks them up For nothing or in a trade with assets included and win championships using their skills as valuable role players. We are a get-right team for contenders and injured players looking to prove themselves to other teams on 1-year MLE deals. The team name is a joke with an origin story of completely ignoring any fan interest. The color commentator who replaced a HOF tandem is a role player that played all of 2 years off the bench in Washington. Chris Miller actively throws shade on the star guys before they are shipped out. There is nothing about this franchise that should be taken seriously. Neither the coaches nor the owner take the team or the fanbase seriously, and it reflects. We have a training staff and medical team that should have been scrapped eons ago after they misdiagnosed bone spurs for tendinitis in Wall’s knee for 6 years! Then the same coaching staff that is still here now had the 120lb version of Otto playing rim protector for half of every game. The list is endless. They do not care. The players don’t care. Brad has been worried about being number 1 for three straight years, and guess what. Even at 80%, Wall is still better. And he always will be. If he had played his role as the Ray Allen prospect we drafted, we would have had more success. Now he’s out here dancing as they beat up on the wolves. Bro, you were 0-5... Bertans shows up after months off out of shape. I wish the franchise would just fold and restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(For your own sake, don’t say Javale McGee) Wizards are a lot of things but they are not a feeder franchise. Guys re-sign here. Players in the NBA move around a fair amount.

Renegade7 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Decent game so far, but announcers talked right though Bryant walking into the locker room. Stfu and tell me what's going on, or at least acknowledge it, jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Early in the game Rui got saved from being on the highlight reel trying to guard to KD. Crossover put him on ice skates.. Questionable offensive foul on Jordan bailed him out lol Edited January 4, 2021 by CRobi21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Bertrans gives up a dunk to guard a three point attempt and Bryant, while having some better offensive skill than I thought, is just awful defensively. Wiz need to more consistently take advantage of mismatches in the post. 148-140 pace. @Destinois here for this kinda game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I am indeed. sadly, I’m almost certain this one won’t end up that close and as a loss. Did Russ really have zero boards in the first half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Wizards offense to end the third is as bad as I’ve ever seen. No one wants to shoot, guys aren’t looking for the ball, and no one seems to know what they should be doing. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His jumper is still so flat. His post game is greatly improved this year at least. Westbrick living up to his nickname in this one so far. The offense comes to a grinding halt when he is on the floor without Beal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Nets and Wiz are similar. Collection of talent with bad coaching and no defense. Maybe Nash will get better over time. Imagining coming out of a time out and having a player just launch a deep three. That’s terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
