No Bullets for Self-Defense: Official 2016-2017 Washington Wizards Season Thread

[Danny_Duberstein]

Gotta be honest, with the way they started I didn't think they'd come close to sniffing .500. Still meaningless while Lebron keeps shytting on the East, but at least Porter, Wall, and Beal continue to improve. Morris trade was a mistake, along with the rest of Ernie's acquisitions over the past year. 4/5 quality starters, abysmal bench and no cap room, think we've seen this story before...

We've been playing solid lately but it lowkey reminds me of last season.. We get close to.500 then lose 2 or 3 straight. Our upcoming schedule ain't that bad so we'll see what happens. We desperately need a solid big that can defend.. Noel would be perfect but idk how we'd get him.

That's the whole problem, we have so few assets that we've have to give up something of major value to get a positive return. Leaves the team with only lateral moves at the moment, but other teams situations may change over the course of the season to our potential benefit

Otto Porter has been playing pretty well this season. Just dropped 32 & 13.

Team has also turned it around the last 15 games. They're only 2.5 games back in the division and it doesn't look like anyone is going to run away with it and 0.5 games back for 8th place in the East. Not sure I even want them to make the playoffs but.

Damn Shame Otto gonna get crazy offers when his contract is up... another grow and leave player for the wiz

Otto has been so impressive

Grunfail really fukked up not extending him

Burke has 24 on 9 of 10 shooting

Burke has 24 on 9 of 10 shooting

Nets weren't guarding him

Wiz are 16-16. But being at .500 won't last

The starters are playing really well

Wall has been playing like a top 5 PG this season.

 

[thewiz]
