Washington Wizards 2016-2017 Season Thread - Thanks for a great season!

[extraordinary swag]

Terrible game from everyone not named Wall. Couldn't hit an open shot to save their lives. Markieff needs to stop with the talking and just play, Millsap has destroyed him the last two games

 

[INTLplayers]

its bad when Jennings is your second trusted scorer after John (nothing against Jennings, he has been great for us in the playoffs).

Beal will bounce back, but Otto and Bogey need to step up!!

 

[the collector]

We would have at least had a shot winning game 3 if Beal didn't go 6-20. Our defense was bad from start to finish but our offense was a case of simply missing shots.

At this point, I'd gladly bring Jennings back next season and let Bogdanavic walk.  Thus far in the playoffs, he's been a horrible waste of a draft pick.

I'd say Otto's playing himself out of a max offer, but we all know the Nets would give it to him anyway.  What else do they have going for them?  It's great that Otto is such a team guy, but he needs to have the ability to get more aggressive on offense - especially when Beal doesn't have it going.  For this team, Otto's always been the sort of low key player you don't need to draw up plays for.  There will be some match ups where that can't be the case, and we need him to come through.  

Regardless, I'm glad Otto will be available tonight.  We'll need him on both sides of the ball to regain momentum.  The winning formula for Washington this season has been for all five starters to hit double figures and to get everyone locked in on defense.  It can't be a one man show and you won't win anything if you're letting the opposition get whatever they want, as Washington allowed in Game 3.  Let's hope they learned from the film and bounce back strong for a pivotal Game 4.

I want to see some half time adjustments

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Never said anything about what he's done before. But complaining about Gortat and Keef taking your soul -- Soft.

Hope you are holding Kief to the same "soft" standards with all this damn flailing and flopping he has been doing all game.

How long you've been saving that draft
Again the soft comment was for what he said about the whole MMA thing. But anyways Keef hasn't been doing much at all besides that first game.

These offensive boards killing us man smh

 

[broncos19dm]

Ridiculous 

 

[ROYGBiV]

Though loss, I'll see you Boyz at game 5.

 

[madj55]

Last two games have been pathetic.

A few observations:

• Brandon Jennings is one of the worst defensive players I've ever seen. Calderon finished with 10 points, 5 assists, a +29 rating, and a tip-in.
  
  ​
• Morris has currently has more confidence off the court than on it.
  
• Gortat needs to get involved offensively in the pick-and-roll.
• Mahinmi needs to get healthy to guard Dwight ASAP.
• If Paul Millsap gets away with another Jordan-esque pushoff when he drives, resulting in another defensive foul, I'm calling Adam Silver.

 

[ROYGBiV]

What time will game 5 be at?

 

[jking0821]

What were we doing in the second quarter....
The turn overs killed us

We were getting killed on simple pick and rolls you let Jenning switch off onto dudes like Illiyasova and then double him...leaving all the 3 point shooters open.

Trying to stay positive....2-2 home team won each game....Lets get game 5

agree with everything you said

game 5 is gonna start at 6:00 :x there won't be more than 2000 people in that arena at tipoff

We started off so well last night but then it all went straight to hell in the 2nd quarter.

Jose ******* Calderon should not be outplaying ANYONE at his age, it is a damn joke no one attacked him after getting 3 quick fouls.

Kieff has been thoroughly embarrassed for 3 games in a row, all that talk and he still gets dominated by Millsap every time he touches the ball. He's the X factor, if he doesn't find some kind of game these next 2 games we're done

Gortat is 7 foot for nothing, you can't even tell out there. Dwight punked him all night and he provides no rim protection

Good to see Beal finally hit some shots but he picks up the dumbest fouls too just like Kieff, and he gets caught sleeping on defense way too much.

Scott Brooks is gonna have to make some kind of adjustment, you might need to double Millsap or start hacking Dwight or something. It's clear we cannot handle them defensively straight up, no one switches with effort and going under all these screens and giving Schroeder and everyone else wide open threes is not gonna cut it

RE: Wizards

1. Can't allow Jose Calderon to come into the game and there NOT be a drop-off in ATL's production. But Jennings on the defensive end was never his strong suit.

2. Markieff, who is soft now? You got COOKED (Again). Keep your mouth shut dude.

3. Good to see Dwight doing his thing. #HOF

4. Good to see Beal get back on track. Your shots will eventually fall if you are a shooter.

5. Nothing from Oubre, barely anything from Jason Smith. Boban woke up, finally.

Wiz, stop playing with these folks man

 

[AgentZero]

Just got Game 7 tickets (not sure if I can make Game 5), but let's close this out in six!

 

[s0lefunk]

@ the title

 

[uncalled4boy]

Excellent Title Change

Just Win The Damn Game :x

 

[broncos19dm]

A+ execution for the title change Meth hahaha. 

Man this is such a big game. Really hoping we can get this W. 

 

[AgentZero]

Paul Millsap after every no-call

[broncos19dm]

Lets finish this 

 

[jking0821]

defense still looked shaky all night

 

[extraordinary swag]

defense still looked shaky all night

it was much better than the last two game, they went over screens a lot more. Except on Schroeder who could not miss.

Otto finally showed up and Jennings, Oubre and Bojan were huge during their time on the floor. I really hope they can end this in 6, i'm tired of playing against this team

 

[DCAllAfrican]

re: Wizards

1. Schroder came to play man. I take back everything I said about him (for the moment)

2. I am really liking what I have been seeing from T. Prince. Fearless, but this is what he was projected to be

3. Paul Millsap is really good at the game of basketball.

4. I appreciate Wall "forcing" the issue, but I wish he would think twice about attempting to create transition situations when he CLEARLY doesn't have numbers.

5. Nice to see you Otto/Boban

6. Jennings, glad to see you as well. This is all they need you to do.

7. Love Bradley Beal man
