Went with Jerami instead of Ant's hot hand... oh well.

 

[TYDame]

What are you doing Chauncey? Give it to the hot hand

 

[illmatic99]

an absolutely idiotic play call.

fire this idiot man

 

[riverman]

crap...

 

[Labinot41]

In April we'll be happy about this loss against the Wizards

 

[Cugel]

WTF? Let Ant cook. WTF CB?

 

[Chris Craig]

Can't wait till Grant is traded

 

[B-Roy]

Dame would have got the ball no matter what. But ok, let’s go to Grant.

 

[Chris Craig]

I won't

 

[riverman]

This is what makes me think we're actually tanking early this season

 

[beast blazer]

I don't like it. I would have rather had Simons take the shot.

Why would you have the hot hand take the last shot? You need to think with better Billups-logic.

 

[TYDame]

Imagine Dame leading a 4th qtr comeback and a chance to win and give it to Jerami

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

The only positive, we might welcome this loss late in the season if there is a race to the bottom.

 

[Chris Craig]

Now Toumani is probably going to be out awhile.

 

[blazerkor]

Or do the thing that the opposition isn't expecting with a guy that you trust. Jerami got a good look going towards the hoop and just didn't make it.

This loss is on the terrible effort for the first three quarters not anything that happened at the end of the game. If you want to fault Chauncey for not having the team ready to compete in a winnable game, that's cool but he coached well down the stretch.

 

[illmatic99]

seriously, does this guy have shit for brains? why would you make the guy who has 22 pts in a quarter and is scorching hot a decoy? gtfo, chauncey. dumbass

 

[riverman]

Man we suck at home this season

 

[Bingo Bango]

Henderson should be sent to the G League.

 

[B-Roy]

Let’s see how people can continue to discredit Ant.

this dude is better than Dame at his age. When has a franchise ever had a do-over? Surround Dame with garbage for years they finally have a chance to build a roster around Simons that makes sense.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

LMAO. That was hilarious. Should have been Ant with an ISO. He can get a great shot anytime he wants AND he was sizzling. The fact that this game was close is problematic anyways. Need to find a better way to integrate Ant into the offense. It's stalling.

He shoots some some stupid shit for someone paid as much as he is.

The Wiz have some win now pieces that I expect them to keep. I think we'll send Jerami and Malcolm out in trades and be even less competitive.

I can see us ducking into the bottom three to have a three way tie for the best lotto odds.

 

[TYDame]

Hey Simons you’re a leader of this team. Speak up during the timeout to give the ball to you. smh

 

[beast blazer]

Anfern-o-bust!?

Grant and Simons had good games that prevented this team from getting blown out at home to the Wizards. They're not the problem. This teams biggest problem is the low offensive effectiveness of everyone else.

im most impressed at how he's improved on two key skills that he was deficient at: defense and drawing fouls

 

[Chris Craig]

I have never and will never welcome a loss

 

[KingSpeed]

I would’ve gone to Ayton personally. We only need 2 points and he’s the most skilled big man on the floor.

 

[blazerfan11]

What the hell Billups. Complained he needed more energy in the starting unit.

So who does he add as a new starter?

Thybulle? Nope.

Scoot? Nope.

...as in, give the final shot to Ant or bust. Ole Chaunce chose to bust. Yay for more lottery balls

 

[blazerkor]

For everyone Scoot bashing right now. The dude is obviously incredibly inconsistent right now but we aren't trying to win shit this season so keep getting the young guy reps so if he has it in him, he can develop his game.
