GAME 49: WAS (21-26) @ DAL (25-24) | 126-127 loss

[KillerLeft]

I am ready for a trade for the sake of a trade.

The first guy I'd trade is Kidd, if I could.

[dirkfansince1998]

Best bench minutes in a while. Bertans and Green making up for SD´s "interesting" decision making.

[KillerLeft]

I am ready for the team to shoot free throws better. I'm not even asking for them to shoot them well...just better.

These aren't the guys that are gonna win a championship with Luka so the coach means little IMO. When we have a team around Luka that is ready to contend, I hope Kidd isn't the coach coaching them.

Oh, I disagree hard. The coach matters a lot. And, he matters in a cumulative way. It would take a real coach several seasons to make a championship team even if the talent was here.

Having the coach in place is the 2nd most important thing, behind having the superstar in place. Nothing else matters if that's not right. The players you'd bring in would immediately start learning how not to win as things sit right now from my seat. The culture turnaround here is more concerning than the roster.

I am ready for more of those confident catch and shoot 3's from the great DFS!

I respect the opinion, just think Kidd is staying anyway, especially if we trade guys off the team, giving him another chance to screw things up. From where I sit, the quicker we get to that decision, the quicker we get to a contender.

I seriously doubt he has an Avery Johnson stint.

[Chicagojk]

Just terrible defense.  Free run to the rim.

As in not as short as Johnson's?

---

DFS misses the 3 and doesn't realize that the closeout man leaked out on him, giving up an easy layup to end the half. 

NOT GREAT

[Chicagojk]

We have taken shots too early at the of quarters for the last few games.  So annoying.

Luka, green, Hardy and DFS…the only guys I care about on this team.

[dirkfansince1998]

Just terrible defense.  Free run to the rim.

Layup or foul every single time. Wizards with 26 PIP and 19 FTA.

[KillerLeft]

That was one of the worst halves I've seen Powell have in quite some time.

[Chicagojk]

Really saying something McGee can’t get a minute in Thai type of game.

[IamDougieFresh]

I just don’t think we can win games with Christian Wood at center. We are getting cooked by the Wizards! No defense!

[BolsDamols]

The crew talking about how Powell does a lot of stuff OFF THE COURT..How about we get a guy that can actually rebound, finish lay ups, actually challenge shots, and not be unplayable during the play offs.. how about that

[Jason Terry]

Dinwiddie needs to come off the bench. Our defense is terrible. Anyone who cannot defend should be on the trade block

[BolsDamols]

Also, Im ready for THJ to be a Cav

It’s a psychological trick that most people fall into my brother. They see a guy with great character who admittedly does hustle and can’t help but love him.

[Chicagojk]

When do we try something different?  These guys can’t defend.

[ItsGoTime]

8 man rotation so far, no Hardy. Then Kuzma reaches over Powell for a rebound...
