Rocky21 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Drew kept bringing up we should be driving to the hoop and hunting for more fouls. And he’s not wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhd24 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Forgot to add that Gafford really sucks at setting screens. He's had to have had an offensive screen foul in each game this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Every night n twitter since the season started I see Bol Bol highlights. Now sure Bol Bol is not a starter, and almost certainly never a star, but he’s a big body contributing. Why don’t I see Admiral Schofield highlights? Because he’s an undersized bum! And don’t give me none of this hindsight stuff, 80% of wizards fans wanted BB when he fell into the second round. Seems like we keep making this same mistake of passing on the obvious choice trying to look smarter than everyone. this franchise misses on too many picks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he’s not wrong. Especially when we're ahead late. I'm no expert (and maybe a few of you will show me why) but my instinct is that when you're up in the 4th, don't start chucking 3s after running the clock down to a desperation shot. Penetrate, get the buckets close to the rim or draw the foul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver is a really smart team and they gave up on him. He's on the perfect rebuilding team. He has legit talent obviously, but there was a reason he fell in the draft. 4 hours ago, Rocky21 said: Johnny Davis HATED the pick from day one. He can't get any minutes with Kispert currently injured. He won't play one meaningful minute this year. He's not athletic enough to get by anyone on offense. He can't shoot. Jarrett Culver/Jerome Robinson 2.0 (i.e. recent lotto picks that busted big time and were given up by their teams after 2 years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Why is he in the roster? Can't they send him down to the developmental league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe the G league starts until late December. Then you may see him and Todd head down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBash Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Duren is looking like a pretty active, impactful big. Might have been nice to have instead of a timid guard who can’t get minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 This team is better than last year. Much stronger at guard, especially on defense, while still being deep along the front court. Hopefully Wright’s hamstring and Beal’s back don’t prove to be lingering issues. Seems like we’ve gotten better shooting the three too. I’m still not sold on WUJ offense, but he seems to have made things easier on his guards this year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Security Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Lots of balance on this team right now. Five guys in double figures, eight with nine points or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Too many people driving the lane with ease against us but it looks like it’s possible we don’t suck ass this year. Then again remember we started out on fire last year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good teams look bad early, bad teams look good early. Then things kinda go back to a pecking order. We learned this last year so I'm just enjoying what's happening now and hoping we can keep some consistent winning. It is still certainly not proven that Wes is THE coach for our future but I do like this roster. Better depth behind Brad, a healthy Staps, Rui & Deni continuing to grow. I'll take it and hope that when the true season kicks in we stay in the hunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhd24 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Just wanted to add that opposing announcers (listen the Bulls broadcast from last Friday) are clowning the fact that they are way up in the rafters when calling games at Wizards home games. It is embarrassing that Leonsis makes the announcers call the games from the rafters just so he can sell more court-side seats. A 2nd rate organization. Found this article from 9 years ago that said the Wiz & Philly are the only teams that do this. Utterly unacceptable. Leonsis doesn't care about anything other than money. There's a reason why the premier teams (Lakers, Heat, etc) have high quality broadcasts and we are 2nd rate in comparison... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dc-sports-bog/wp/2013/03/08/why-the-wizards-moved-steve-buckhantz-off-the-floor/ Edited October 26, 2022 by mhd24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
