Riggo-toni Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Back when I was a kid, just before Gibbs pulled into town, the perennial DC contender was the Bullets. Went to the finals 4 times, winning once. Went to the playoffs EVERY year Unseld was their center except his last. Then Hayes, Unseld, and Dandridge were gone. Pollin spent $$, shuffled coaches and GMs, made offseason splashes, and eventually even hired the biggest name in B-ball (Jordan) to try and revitalize a once great franchise.... And yet they continue to suck and are the joke of the NBA. I stopped watching B-ball after high school, but I can't help but worry that perhaps our beloved Skins are destined for the same type of oblivion. I like Snyder's desire to win at all costs, especially compared to the Squire's milque-toasty son, but I'm getting more and more worried we will never escape the curse of mediocrity. :( Will we forever be left with nothing but memories of past conquests, like a Brit growing up in the shadow of a faded empire....

Hitman56 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Just hearing that comparison almost made me cry. Although, every team in the area seems to have the same problems: bringing in new coaches and high priced players every year and not leaving the team intact for as long as necessary to build a winning franchise. Stackhouse, Jagr, Belle, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
