A Hawks fan talking trash?
Have y’all ever won 60 games in your lifetime
Hawks been in the same position. Good enough for the playoffs but not bad enough for a franchise changing draft pick. Thankfully we finally have a owner & GM with vision

you all will have to sign permission slips to get back into the club 
you all will have to sign permission slips to get back into the club Easily impressed are weThat Dwight roast was pure unadulterated ether
Them nikkas went in :towelmax:
I know we won a title, does that count as a better accomplishment or do you wanna praise a 60win team that won that many only because half the conference was tanking for draft position. That 60 win team missed the playoffs the next season and was no longer a group immediately afterwards. Lmfao at you pumping your chest out because of that fluke ass squadHave y’all ever won 60 games in your lifetime

A healthy Otto Porter Jr. gears up for his sixth season | Washington Wizards

Otto Porter Jr.’s 2017-18 season ended earlier than he would have liked. Porter missed Game 6 against the Raptors after suffering an injury on the outer side of his left calf. That lower leg injury turned into a rehabilitation process for the next two and a half to three months. Porter had surgery in May and rehabbed well into June and July.
Reporting to his sixth NBA training camp, Porter has been back on the court for a few months now and feels good physically.
“The biggest thing for me was to get back mentally,” Porter said on Off The Bench last week. “I had the whole summer to physically get prepared.”
Porter was rehabbing while the Wizards made most of their new additions and transactions, signing Dwight Howard and Troy Brown Jr., trading for Austin Rivers, drafting Troy Brown Jr., and adding Thomas Bryant and Jordan McRae, among others. Still, along with those pieces, Porter’s mindset turned to finding ways to contribute towards every player’s goal: winning it all.
“We added a lot of depth, and the end goal is to win a championship. Adding those new guys, it changes everything. It’s going to be a different team than last year. What can I do to make the team better?”
Porter averaged 14.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game on 50.3% shooting overall and 44.1% from deep last season. He plans on continuing to be active, making sure he gets open and challenges his matchups on defense. He has finished top five in the NBA in the past two seasons in 3-point shooting percentage, but he’s still being challenged by Scott Brooks to shoot even more triples. The 6’8” forward also watched a lot of film this summer, focusing on defense.
"I watched tons of film," Porter said at Wizards Media Day on Monday. "I'm learning how to guard on-ball, take my angles and be able to master that. I studied Kawhi Leonard a lot, and the angles he takes. He's very strategic with how his movements are; he never seems tired. I was able to get in [better] shape this summer. There are a lot of games, so I wanted to be in the best shape possible."
In order for the Wizards to reach their full potential, Porter knows he’ll need to be more aggressive. Shooting more 3-pointers and not passing up shots will be a big part of that, as well as shooting more off the dribble and drawing fouls.
"That's definitely going to be a goal of mine, just to be ultra-aggressive. I think it's best for the team and best for me to put out that effort and be more involved and kind of be like Klay Thompson and take my shots. I'm very confident in that - I'm going to instill that in every game."
All in all, Porter understands how important his versatility is, which allows the Wizards to play lots of different types of lineups. Whether Washington goes small, 3-point shooting heavy, or any other trick Brooks has up his sleeve, Porter is confident in himself and the team that the front office put together to be tough to stop night in and night out.
“We’re going to be able to give different looks, play different styles. We have a traditional big man [Howard] who gets a lot of attention, which is going to open up a lot of stuff for us. And then we can also go small, and that can give us a lot of different looks. Especially defensively down the stretch. Our team – we’re going to be able to throw a lot of different looks at you, and it’s going to be hard to predict.”

Scotty said he made 65 of 100. We’ll see with Mahinmi this year though. Still think this team can get a little more younger.

If you watch the videos Dwight was being polite and accommodatin of everyone. I watched all the videos from wizards media day. When g Wizz came he just struck the pose and that's the picture they run with but it wasn't meant to be a thing.I'm questioning do some of y'all ma fukkers realize what he brings to the team? I cant rock with yalls negativity...Or do you go by popularity? Dwight got 17 and 12 last year on s team with no spacing. And he chose us off a buy out.. Go watch his games against embiid last year. And cousins and Davis. They did damage when he was off the floor. But he had them when he was on the floor. The narratives got you ungrateful f**** all fukked up.
I'm not cosigning the negativity in this thread

He is important to this team. I thought he should have been an all star last season. He still is who he is. And this team before wall got hurt was a third seed at some point with gortat as the center. What shooters did Charlotte have? Dwight has just been in bad situations and that's ideal because when players get discounted teams get a good deal. Ask yourself which C you'd rather have.. Then check Dwight's price and then his game against that C. How w player getting 17 and 12 with elite defense getting bought out?

Who do you hate on the roster??
Morris and Mahinmi. Mahinmi is a replacement level player and Morris talks too much, doesnt play consistent D, doesn't rebound consistently, and isn't efficient
