Do the Wizards have a better bench than us, because they carried them tonight. Beal didn't have that big of a game.

My assertion is that players on good teams who don't have to play every game...don't play. Load management.
You asked me if I watch the NBA and you don't understand the difference between load management and injuries.

Since we traded for CJ, we've had our best 3 players play in the same game 10 out of 80 times.


At this point do we even count Zion in this conversation? He is now under 40% of played since he entered the league. your numbers are just going to look off counting him.

This was a valid excuse when both Zion and BI were out and then guys like Naji and Larry were missing time. It’s not now. Obviously not having Zion is a huge deal but Dyson is not enough of a needle mover at this time. You should be able to beat a sub .500 team at home while almost fully healthy, especially in the middle of a losing streak where your season looks like it’s on the brink of being lost entirely. They need to make moves ASAP for not only this season but the next few as well because there are glaring problems that will keep us from competing for a title.

It’s disturbing that they haven’t really been better with BI back.

They're not off, they're 100% accurate. THAT is the problem.

Meh not the time to play the high and mighty card
I’ve been watching this team since the Iverson playoff series. I’ve put a lot of time, money and love into this team. This is a frustrating arse team right now and for my own sanity I’ve tried to watch as little of the last 15-20 games as possible.

There almost just isn’t a point without Zion or Ingram. I watched the last 2 in their entirety now that Ingram is back and the team has just lost its luster and has no cohesion or rhythm. Maybe the energy will come back. But we literally just completely undid our good start in the last 3 weeks and we are now in legitimate danger of missing the playoffs altogether at this point.

This is not acceptable. We should not be scuffling around with poo arse teams like Orlando and Washington. But we are and people are rightfully frustrated.

A big part of that is because BI has been terrible since being back. He had 22 pts on 22 shots tonight.

He will eventually get into a rhythm and we won't be losing 7 straight like we are now, however there are problems beyond BI getting right that need to be addressed.

Because our bench lacks the things we need. There’s some quality hustle guys with defensive prowess which is nice but no offensive weapons. Jose hasn’t shot as well as he did earlier in the season. Tae sucks. Trey doesn’t shoot enough. Dyson can’t score. Naji has been fine and 3 ball is good enough of late. (Should start over Herb imo). But that’s it. Billy is trash. Jax is trash. Larry hasn’t been that great lately.

Losing to the Wizards at home makes zero sense.


you talk as if the opponents are somehow not really basketball players.

7 guys in double digits.
denny avdija was a first round pick . 15 and 9 off bench. seems as advertised.
kispert first round, just a guy but starting.
beal with 16.

theyre capable. even the worst team is capable of beating a good team without its best player.
the only unusual thing was center.

No I talk about them as if they are a sub .500 team in the NBA that was missing one of their best players and their other best player was coming back from injury.

Stop making excuses for losing at home to the fricking Wizards.

i didnt expect ingram to be in top shooting form.
i was already concerned how long it will take to reintegrate zion.
not only do they need time together to compete in playoffs they may be in the playin. double bad. might lose one and go home. and if you do win you play denver round 1.
