IDC if we're going to lose the first round, if we are still playing good enough to make the playoffs, then go all out for it. If we suck all season with no possible chance of making the playoffs, then tank. Tank HARD..... We have #1 scorer in the league (Beal) and Westbrook AVERAGING a triple double. We have one of the top scoring 2nd teams (Bench) in the league. I say that to say, that like it or not, we are going to win games. If we are winning games, I want us to be competitive and win. I dont know about yall, but I watch EVERY game (dvr) every year, regardless of how we are playing. I sit through trash seasons all the time. If we are competitive and winning games, Im not trying to watch us go through the misery of a losing season just for the hell of it, banking on a draft pick. **** that. If the NBA draft was set up like the NFL where the losses determine your position, thats one thing. But I dont trust that "random selection" BS....Knicks did that **** the other year trying to get Zion. Was horrible all year, worst team in the league, lost the most games and still ended up with the #3 pick.

To have a good coach and smart GM running things. I also think most people don't want to give up on guys in their 2nd year in the league when the organization has been a dumpster fire. I don't want years of tanking but once you are out of it and you are in salary cap hell, make some changes to make progress. I'm tired of cheering for terrible organizations.

Fergasun Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I see that Gafford is filling the statline. What about Chandler Hutchison? Looks like he had a good debut (18 pts) but minimal stats since. Maybe it was too early to give up on Troy Brown Jr, but he wasn't lighting things up either. Although Garrison Mathews doesn't seem to be lighting it up either. Between Rui, Beal and Westbrook you would think a good SF option could get a ton of points for this team... Bertrans is supposed to be getting those easy, open, buckets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry.Randolphe Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 @LetMeSeeYourWarFace21I'm not seeing how Rui is considered trash? He's grown a lot from his rookie season and I wasn't high on him being drafted since I felt he was a gimmick pick to bring in Japanese money, but he's been a solid 3rd option. Who should we have taken instead? Herro? The 2019 draft looks like trash in retrospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertrans is supposed to be getting those easy, open, buckets. Hutchison had the good debut and has been trash since. And Gafford alone in that trade was more than worth the value of Troy Brown Jr. I like TBJ, but he wasnt getting the minutes. Gafford has been a BALLER since his debut. EVERY game he's played, he's made his presence known. We now have a player in Gafford who is a LEGIT rim protector, and also a player who can catch alley oops from anywhere. He's a dunker, and his high energy dunks get our team fired up every time. VERY much needed on this team. He provides energy all over the court. IMO, once he fully heals from that injury, he needs to be named the starter. Edited April 17, 2021 by LetMeSeeYourWarFace21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who should we have taken instead? Herro? The 2019 draft looks like trash in retrospect. Rui has his moments, but he plays with no heart, no intensity. He has a great mid range shot, but he just plays too soft. He'll show you a game with heart, then the next 6-7 he's timid. It shows up in his offense and defense. He needs some Rasheed Wallace in him....needs to go play some street ball, get some attitude. He has all the tools, but that fire is missing. I feel like the coach needs to bench his ass, to put a fire under him. Last night against the Pelicans, he played 42 mins, had 6 points, 3 rebs, & 3 assist. Was 3-13 FG, 0-5 3pt. Sigh.....not given up on him yet, too early, but he's frustrating, because of his inconsistency. We shouldve taken Herro or Brandon Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel better about Brooks not being extended than I do about Shep. Leonsis, while a horrible owner of the Wiz (and this is true of the Caps too) has never had a problem changing coaches. I'm holding out the slightest sliver of hope that his plan this entire time was to promote Shep knowing he'd keep Brooks but that after two years they'd all be gone. Then he'd hire a new GM, who would definitely want his own coach. My guess is that Shep is back and Brooks is gone. If Brooks is back, I'm out as a fan. I just won't pay attention and watch anymore games. If only Shep is back, it will depend on the direction the Wiz take with players in the offseason to see if I want to stick around. I've just gotten to the point with the teams of my youth that I'm not gonna spend time watching them roll out a ****ty product year after year. I have better things to do in life.
