This team is trash. Last night's game was the first game I watched since the Clippers game. I figured, "Nothing else on tv, might as well give the Wiz another chance." GAH-BAGE. They're garbage, my friends. Believe me, I understand your frustrating dedication. I understand the love of basketball and when we have a team in our city we need to support them. I'm a Bullez-Wiz fan since 1972. I just don't know how much longer I can watch a team that loses games to clearly inferior rosters on a regular basis. Hey "upsets" happen, I get it. At what point do I stop considering games like last night's game an upset? We're trash. I've just seen too many eras of failure. Does anyone truly believe the old "This new player will change things" or "This new coach will change things?" tropes anymore? I already stopped posting in the Stadium with any frequency a couple years ago because it just doesn't seem relevant to bother with the hopes for our football franchise. I no longer care who we draft, who we bring in to coach, which QB might change the course for the Commanders. 2-3 game Redskin or WFT win streaks don't raise my hopes. It's becoming the same mind frame for the Wizards. Go ahead, Wiz- win 5 straight. I know you'll lose 7 straight after that or 7 of 10. I'm sad. I'm tired. I'm insulted. I'm soooo skeptical about all things basketball (and football) in this town. I honestly commend most of you for your dedication but I think I'm a lot older than most of you and I know this song by heart. They're garbage. They'll always be garbage. Last night was no upset. It will happen MANY times for the rest of the season throughout what is supposed to be the easiest remaining schedule in the NBA. it will happen many times next season and the season after that. I can promise this with supreme confidence. What keeps you guys believing after seeing games like last night vs. Indiana? Does Kristaps Porzingis keep you believing? Does a draft pick keep you believing? Do we all just have Stockholm Syndrome? I might be back next season but I'm done spinning my wheels in the mud for now. Almost 50 years as a fan is losing steam. They have like 5 new people in the rotation right now and lost like 4. And this happened a week ago. Prior to that the rotation was completely screwed up because of how much depth they had. I'm not sure WTF you are expecting to happen with a team who has like 1/2 of it's active roster different than it was literally a week ago and their (arguably) #1 player is out for the rest of the season. It looks like you are the one who has unrealistic expectations and is sad when they aren't met. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him and his energy, but some of his playing time issues he's bringing on himself, and I'm not convinced more playing time is the best solution considering how I started this post. He needs more help then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's getting multiple fouls early in games, more playing time alone won't fix that, you have to take him out or he'll foul out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Gafford is making 12M a year 24-26. It’s not some albatross of a contract for a young big/rim protector. Also, Bertans went 1-7 from 3 last night. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz have some major cap issues coming up with the Beal SM and Rui, Kuz and Deni all up in the next 2 off-seasons. To say nothing of not have any other guards besides Beal.

Renegade7 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Even when this team pisses me off, I try to make time for when they play the Spurs. Having said that, Latinx Night is cringe worthy considering the backlash in the Hispanic community towards that word, and Gooden's utter silence when his cohert yelled "vamos wizards fans" was the best thing he ever said. Stop trying so hard to be liked and jus win some damb basketball games already, jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky21 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I watched ‘til the bitter end. While I have a hard time rooting for any of my teams to lose, it really is best to tank at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Showed a lot of heart and our young bigs shined a little bit and kept the tank rolling. What more can you ask for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I wonder if Sato still plays defense. He was always an underrated defender. Just can’t rely on him scoring, because he just won’t attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Kuzma is worth the price of admission, everyone else not so much. Kispert, Deni, Rui are all 2nd or 3rd guy off the bench / role player material at best. Other teams find gems in the middle of the 1st round, we find average at best players like Kispert and Troy Brown Jr. Also Ish Smith with the game tying 3 attempt? Trash.
