Yeah, he is goofy as fukk out there sometimes.
He really has improved his offensive game this year though. That jumper took huge steps and he is pretty competent when the ball is dropped to him in the low post.

Those dribble drives tho.. :russ:
shyt has me in tears man.

Thibs should be given a lifetime contract for getting this much out of this roster.
Let's be real though... I fukks with Thibs but if Pop had this team he would have these guys on the bench ready to give some positive minutes.

You desperately need some shooting/scoring and you just benching Jimmer and Dunleavy when Kirk sucks and DJ can't get a shot off against Ariza...

:usure:

Pop has Patty Mills out there cooking when need be. Is Jimmer not a similar or better type of talent?

Pops also has the same core he had 10 years ago. It's nearly impossible to get these cats to run sets. Thibs gets credit because his team plays hard every night....something you're supposed to do anyways. Their offense stinks though...its Jimmy Butler doing JImmy Butler things and then Augstine doing DJ things. Noah can only do so much as a passer.

But I do like Pops as a coach more...

whats up with otto porter is he that trash?
Here's the entire rundown on Otto.

Preseason he played Ok, didn't beast tho. Got hurt in game 2 and missed the rest of preseason
Glen Rice Jr. was beasting, and continued to do so during the season in the limited action he got
Then the Wiz sent him to the D-League because Him nor otto was getting playing time

What perplexed Wiz fans was why not send Otto to the D-League since he wasnt getting an PT behind Webster and Ariza
Randy wanted to be very careful with Otto, didn't wanna rattle his confidence
And the gamble was if Otto didn't perform well in the D-League. Especially as good as Glen Rice Jr was? Then everyone could and at the time WAS speculating on how good he is.

Then one day, Otto Porter and Glen Rice Jr. got into it in practice. Where Glen was trying to shine on Otto
Otto got MAD supposedly. And he's been playing with FIRE in practice ever since that day/confrontation
Otto Porter’s big game in Orlando was several months in the making

Did you see this coming? (David Manning-USA TODAY Sports)

ORLANDO – Otto Porter’s improved confidence and comfort as he adjusts to a rapid-moving NBA game started to become evident long before he made two huge three pointers last month against Memphis, scored nine points in just six minutes last week against Boston, or provided the game-altering alley-oop dunk and game-saving tip-in on Friday in the Wizards’ 96-86 victory over the Orlando Magic.

Veteran Al Harrington said he noticed a difference in Porter shortly after the all-star break in February. Some heated trash talk from fellow rookie Glen Rice Jr. during a three-on-three game got Porter so fired up that the third overall pick from Georgetown hasn’t been the same.

“He was challenging Otto a lot. And Otto was stepping up to the challenge and it seems like he brought something out of Otto, to me,” Harrington said. “One thing I can say Glen definitely brought positive to our team is he kind of brought Otto out of his shell and he’s starting to build confidence. That’s when I saw the change. Every time, he was attacking, trying to score the ball. Before, he was way more passive.”

After playing the best game of his young career, with nine points and nine rebounds off the bench, Porter admitted that he probably wouldn’t have been able to make that kind of contribution to the team a few months ago. He was trying to read the game but the pages were moving like an animated flip-book and he was also struggling to find a niche on a team where minutes were sparsely dispersed to players with limited experience.

“Definitely the more I play, the more I’ve learned and the more the season has gone on, the more I get comfortable,” he said. “It would be tough when I first came back, to have a game like this, because I didn’t know as much as I do now.”

Beal added: “He’s not the same Otto he was the first day he started training camp or the first day he got in a game.”

The most important lesson Porter has learned over the past few weeks is that the quickest way to earn an extended spot on the bench is to enter a game not looking to leave an imprint.
Randy then started putting Otto in at the end of the season.. in games that mattered too
And Otto performed REALLY WELL. So well, if we end up letting Ariza go? I believe Otto can easily do the same if not MORE honestly
Just depends on his development. Right now, Randy is doing a short rotation. And its working so I can't knock it :manny:

If somebody wants to give Ariza 50mil? Wizards got a much cheaper replacement with a higher upside :whew:

Yeah, they have a core, but honestly the Bulls way of modeling their team is similar to how the Spurs have done so over the years. When it comes to their bench, outside of Manu, they rotate new guys in every year.

If Thibs doesn't trust you, you're not playing, period. I'm not sure why he waited all year to just now start benching Dunleavy... would have rather seen them keep Marco for this year if I knew this would be the case. At least with him, he would have been able to create something offensively

He's not trash, he isn't going to get minutes with Ariza and Webster ahead of him in the rotation.

Hasn't gotten a lot of playing time this year because those two have been relatively healthy and the injury in training camp set him back.

The good news is that he looks bigger than he was this time last year, he's adding weight and staying in the weightroom with Gortat.

He also played well in Orlando a couple weeks ago.

To be totally honest. The Wizards are toying with you guys at this point.
Kevin Seraphin is a beast overall. And would have his way with Chicago
Glen Rice Jr. is just lightning in a bottle we don't even have to pull out :heh:
Otto Porter is READY :manny:
Chris Singleton can do what Taj Gibson does. He just doesn't get the PT
Garret Temple can shut down Augustine/Hinrich, much better than Miller can.. Which ppl will see in other series
Harrington hasn't even played yet (unexpected) Gooden has only played like 2/3mins total (also unexpected)
The TRUTH is every player on this team can play. NO scrubs.
Only player on the team I seen be turnover prone was Bradley Beal.. but he's cleaned that up
Your players are trash bruh. Tibbs can't outcoach Randy. Butler can't shut down our backcourt
You guys will lose by 20+

Its gonna be a long hot summer...

Watching the Wiz last night pretty much confirmed how much of a casual viewer I am of the NBA regular season. They caught me so off guard....and its so refreshing knowing I have years to look forward to with them.

I knew how good wall was, but I didn't know beal could consistently create quality shots for himself. he's been impressive.
