And I thought 2017 was the one that turned into a sleet bomb instead...Now 2018 I remember there being all those 1 and 2 inchers in March like 3 weeks in a row, so I guess that counts. Now 2019 I don't remember at all! 2022 must've been a Miller whatever that just missed. And I guess we're defining "snowstorm" differently. I count that as over 3 inches at least. All that to say...I guess you're right. I think I've blocked it out since nothing post 2015 has stood out in my memory because it's been so bad overall. 1/14/2019 was the storm that gave Baltimore like 2" and DC got hit pretty hard. I know that because I trekked to DC that night to see the Blues play the Caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t understand how the Wizards have sucked so bad for 40 years. Too much loyalty under both Pollin (Unseld) and Leonsis (Grunfeld). I mostly agree with their current strategy of stinking in order to get high picks and build a foundation, but they're gonna need to earn fan's trust at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 4 impact players (3 starters) under 21 and are a lock to have one of the top 3 picks with a real shot at drafting that kid out of Duke. Beyond 2025, they have at least 1-2 1st round and 4 2nd rounders in the 2026 draft so they have a lot of draft capital to trade when the time comes to go for broke. So yeah, they are truly at the bottom in terms of wins/losses, but are in fact pretty far along with the rebuild. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD was basically saying this when he was asked by DC reporters about what he thought of the team when Phoenix was in town. Trust in KD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Held on to Grunfeld for 16 years disaster years and then replaced him with Grunfeld JR(Tommy Shepp). Then brought in new clowns who couldnt trade Tyus Jones or Kyle Kuzma at the peak of their value and gave Deni Avijda away for trash bub carrington.

What a disaster the owner is and everything he does It was for Bub and Brogdon, but still a sus trade. Will need to see if the new FO picks pan out. Too early to tell because they literally blew up the entire roster when they arrived. Hard to argue with their picks so far given where the players have been selected in the draft. What they really need to do is trade Kuzma. He just doesn't make sense on this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some teams still play really pretty basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
