Was the article written by an AI? What a sad excuse for a journalist

it was not a zero number of people who said that the team this year was not any worse than the team last year, a team that only had play-in potential if you squinted through monumental colored glasses

I mean we are not good. I do like chief Keefe so far.

I too had hopes for our team’s chances with Mike Muscala as our number 2 centre.

I was sure they’d compete for a play in spot solely because of the talent we have. Super good with being really bad for a couple of years though
This is false. There were some optimists who thought the team could win 30ish games. Obviously those people were way off but even they weren’t predicting playoffs

It wasn’t 100% far fetched relative to the talent on this team, but it was detached from the reality of a rebuild and the personnel. A well-coached, scrappy team can for the least contend the play-in, but this team is very loosey-goosey, especially on defense and with Poole’s poor shot selection on offense.

Yeah we need to get to the bottom of this.

That writer should be embarrassed because no one thought that. Mike Chiari is apparently the dummy who wrote this. Everyone point and laugh.

I was one of the could be a play in team people. Frankly this 100% comes down to what a complete Trainwreck Jordan Poole has been. If he was HALF of what we expected the wizards would be in the playin race right now just from winning close games

Did I *hope* that the wiz would make the playoffs in a clear rebuilding year? No
But I did expect the team to be better than 9-37. I think what I clearly whiffed on, was the play of Poole. I expected him and Kuzma to combine for 50 points a night. For the most part, Kuz has held up his end of the scoring. Poole on the other hand….

No structure, no chemistry, and not 1 foundation player. However, I do like Gafford/Bagley in the front court together. we need to use Kuz as trade bate along with Poole. Dani is nice but I don’t believe he’ll stay healthy, he’s too fragile to be that physical. Keep the front court and Coulibally….. everyone else is expendable

Maybe they meant play-in contenders

Reminds me of this [poll ](https://www.reddit.com/r/washingtonwizards/comments/17gbgp1/what_are_your_expectations_for_the_washington/)earlier this season. 44 people said their expectation was “Championship Contender,” but I feel like we know that 43 of those voted sarcastically and 1 genuine one was someone’s cat accidently clicking things
