    “They’re trying to lose game, evidenced by playing Jordan Poole”

    >“If we lose four in a row, but we’re competing our behinds off, we’re holding ourselves accountable on the floor and we are getting marginally better in practice and those games, we’re going to live with that.”

    oh, is that what I’m watching?

    >Avdija entered his fourth NBA season as someone who had not lived up to his pre-draft billing as a potential difference-maker on offense. As part of Avdija’s new development plan, Unseld has been tasked with uplifting Avdija’s self-confidence as a ballhandler, rim attacker and long-range shooter. The gains have been substantial. Avdija has looked fearless on drives to the hoop. He’s also turned his most glaring weakness — poor 3-point shooting — into an unexpected strength, making 41 percent of his 3s on 3.1 attempts per game.

    so why couldn’t he do that the last two years? And if we’re giving WUJ flowers for Deni and Bilal, let’s also criticize him for Kispert’s poor start and Davis not cracking the rotation.

    >More concerning is that the Wizards’ defense has looked amateurish at times… Through Wednesday, they rank 27th leaguewide in defensive efficiency,

    Well the offense isn’t much better. Ranked 21st. They have a terrible roster for defense, but they should be performing better offensively.

    There’s no point in firing WUJ as long as our young players are getting minutes

    We won’t be able to land anyone significantly better til we start to turn the corner, this is year one of a rebuild and no good coach gunna wait 5 or more years to have a good players

    The biggest question I have is whether he really is holding players accountable and whether the young guys are going to be able to learn team defense on a team that allows opponents to run the same play 10 times in a row for alley oop dunks.
