WOW at some of you choosing the Pistons and Wizards but not the Raptors.
Wow.
Oh, I guess you one of those basketball gurus
Lets breakdown both teams and seasons.
Toronto Finished with 5 more wins than the Wizards did. But is it an open n shut case johnson? No
As you probably know, Wizards didn't get Wall back til game 33 I believe. They won like 5 games in that span.
Bradley Beal who has already proven he will be our top scorer moving forward, he beasted, but got hurt at the end of the season and missed the last couple of weeks. We tanked at the very end of the season losing 6 straight by not trying (then landing Otto because of it) While your dumbass team went 5-0 during its last 5 meaningless games of the season.
So with 6gms left in the season, the Wizards actually had a better record than Toronto did. And this is after people EVERYWHERE was saying "Is this the worst team EVER" thinking we'd break the loss record. Wall came back, shyt changed. So lets now compare rosters...
1 Trevor Ariza SF
3 Bradley Beal SG
35 Trevor Booker PF
42 Nenê Hilario C
6 Eric Maynor PG
50 Emeka Okafor C
22 Otto Porter Jr. SF
24 Glen Rice Jr. SF
13 Kevin Seraphin PF
31 Chris Singleton SF
17 Garrett Temple SG
24 Jan Vesely SF
2 John Wall PG
9 Martell Webster SF
VS.
4 Quincy Acy SF
6 Alan Anderson SG
23 Marcus Camby C
10 DeMar DeRozan SG
2 Landry Fields SF
22 Rudy Gay SF
34 Aaron Gray C
15 Amir Johnson PF
11 Linas Kleiza SF
3 Kyle Lowry PG
16 Steve Novak SF
20 Mickael Pietrus SF
12 Quentin Richardson SF
31 Terrence Ross SG
13 Sebastian Telfair PG
17 Jonas Valanciunas
And you seriously can't figure out which team is on the rise
Wizards finished top 10 in the league in 3 defensive categories as well (first time since the 80's)
A healthy Wizards team will finish higher than a 6-8 seed. Real talk, we the new Chicago. But we actually have a nucleus that has an upside to it
I would NOT be surprised if the Wiz end up as a 2/3 seed. If all our players actually improved from last year? The Nets are not this beast team now because of an old ass KG and PP. Them two wasn't even the biggest problems on Boston. Jeff Green was that. Chicago is not even trying to improve from the looks of it. Miami will struggle more next year because Wade is Mitch Richmond in DC status. Bosh puts up Al Jefferson type numbers. Who else.. The Knicks got Whats his face, so now they softer than poo. Only the Pacers and the Heat are locks for top 4, everyone else has a shot at all the other spots imo...
2010-2011 and 2011-12 teams were horrible
@ Colangelo passing on Drummond last year. Coulda had the Twin Towers of the future between Jonas and Drummond.
