PG Washington: Old, Slow, Disinterested, Pathetic

Post #81 » by **ReasonablySober** » Wed Apr 3, 2024 3:06 am

This team has the look of one that's uninterested in winning a title. I would have thought Dame coming on board would light a fire under guys' asses but he looks just as indifferent as he did in Portland.

Honestly, It's LONG past time for Giannis to start ripping heads off, but for a while now I've wondered if he even gives a ****. The alarm went up with his comments after the first round last season, and it hasn't gotten better.

Because the people who said Doc sucked and I defend Doc against.

Are now going to be some of the same people who are going to try and tell me that Doc doesn't suck.

Bucks are 6-7 in their last 13 games. If AG went 6-7 in any stretch there would be 20 fire AG threads.

I think normally there would be some fire Doc threads but everyone realizes there is a limit to the number of times coaches can be fired by a team in a year. So some of us just keep quiet.

Today our offense was terrific coz they could not make wide open shots repeatedly; Doc said that and I agree. It is not his fault.

Regarding the reason for the failure to defend, Dic kind of said he doesn’t really know why it happened like it did. That sounds to me more of a coaching scheme problem.

Don't think a fast rebuild exists. This team has zero assets.

Yep, agreed. You need foresight to do a fast rebuild with a championship caliber team, but we chose to hang onto/acquire aging assets with deteriorating value.

Kinda sounds like he's looking for someone to blame lol.

“there’s always an excuse, always throwing your team under the bus. theres never accountability with that guy”

He literally said the coaching staff has to figure it out. That they're doing something wrong. IE: himself.

Feels like even when Lillard is back that we are simply short one non-washed starting caliber athletic 3 and D wing away from where we want to be.

Kelly Oubre, Malik Monk, Rui Hachimura, Josh Hart.

Also... can Doc retire? I don't want to watch another season of him trying to coach in the modern NBA.

gary neal too

I think we learn more about this team when they play teams like Denver, Minnesota, OKC, and Boston. We learn things against the dregs of the NBA too, but none of that is relevant versus top teams.

A giannis triple double was usually a special game to watch.

Now they are getting wasted in bad Losses.

Certainly disappointing, but I don't know what our expectations for this team can be on the road without Lillard. We're 18-20 on the road this season, and 1-6 without Lillard. As much as people say Dame's having a down year, he's crucial to our success.

Yeah what was I thinking, missing Damian Lillard on the road I need to temper my expectations on beating one of the worst basketball teams of all time missing one of their own "best" players on the back of one of the greatest players of all time putting up a all-time great game. Nah, this was horsesh*t.

OP said slow, speed etc bla bla...
Nah.. we've seen veteran teams be fine.. Boston role players don't go 1-10 or 0-7... combine everyone except Gallo / midds and Green.. it's ridiculous.. Boston's dudes hit them

I reckon the loss to the G League Grizz is slightly ahead of this one.

What Boston, or anything other team, does has nothing at all to do with the fact that we're old and slow. It's a straight up fact. Take old and slow and add in disinterested and you have the Milwaukee Bucks. "We've seen veteran teams be fine". Well sure. That's irrelevant. This veteran team is not fine.

We played super crappy, but we probably win if Giannis doesn’t give away two TOs in the lane in the last 2 minutes.

Not sure what that means other than we REALLY need Dame fit and with the ball at the end of the game.

GHOSTofSIKMA · Post #100 » by **GHOSTofSIKMA** » Wed Apr 3, 2024 12:02 pm

were an average team when giannis and dame are both in and middletons out.
we are below average miss the playoffs bad if giannis or dame sits.
when all 3 are healthy were a 50-60 win club but all 3 are old and wounded often so not sure what good that will do us
