See you didn’t have to post that

i swear on my own life that the wizards will be a 50 win team in 3 years

> In an 82 game season, if a team loses 33 games or more, their best possible record would be 49-33.

Thanks Magic!

Why he say fuck me for?

The last time the Wizards had 50 wins was in 1979. LeBron James was born 5 years later.

Songs that reached #1 from March/April 1979 (when they got their last 50th win): Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?, Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive, Bee Gees - Tragedy, The Doobie Brothers - What A Fool Believes, Amii Stewart - Knock On Wood, and Blondie - Heart of Glass

That’s interesting information.

Bullet to the heart

Gonna make our eventual success that much sweeter

Pain. A lifetime full of pain

F in chat

OP wore that Washington flair and chose to drop this willingly

Honesty still resides in this dark world of Nico Harrisons

trae and ad will be nice next year with that core though

So really, the “Wizards” have never won 50 games. Last time they did it was the Bullets. Bring back the Bullets.

It’s amazing how bad the professional sports teams suck in the national capital.

I was watching the Wiz-Lakers game last friday and the Wiz broadcast were reminiscing about the all time grat Wiz 2017 season when they won a whopping 49 games lol.

Wizards have again joined the Forbes’ 50 under 50 list for the 47th year in a row

Next season looks to be the most promising they’ve had in a long time. I won’t call them contenders, but they won’t be bottom feeders either

Let see … our old Owner Abe Polin hired Wes Undeld to be our gm in the 80’s since we drafted players like Pervis Ellison, La Bradford Smith etc…. Then we hired Ernie Grunfeld and Tommy Shepherd as our gm’s , we finally have a decent front office so we shall see

Wizards - they’ve been in a cycle of deep rebuild mode and mediocre contending team. never have they ever done anything truly great since 1980 or so. And with trades for decent but overpaid stars in Davis and Trae, all while looking to end the tank without snagging a generational star player (unless they get one in 2026 draft), this cycle is all but sure to continue.

They really dropped the ball by not signing Harry Potter in his prime

They also haven’t had an MVP since 1969, won a title since 1978, or made it past the second round since 1979.

Mediocrity personified

I have a dream we will one day win 50 games

Yet still managed to win one lol. It’s darkly hilarious how teams like the Nuggets, Pistons, and Wizards have been mostly ass throughout their history but managed to earn rings, while genuinely decent teams that have been mostly competitive like the Suns and the Pacers haven’t.

Dude like, WTF?

Relocate the wizards to Vegas. Let the healing begin.

Both the Happy Meal and ESPN didn’t exist yet.

Maybe either right before or right after their 50th consecutive season, they’ll hit 50 wins for the symmetry

Damn!

bring back Bobby Dandridge

Calling it right now tho next season wizards are taking the championship. And if not there at least gonna make the playoffs but I’m positive they taking it with the players they just added to there team. Call me crazy but that’s just my opinion

Last time wizards were in the eastern conference finals we played the Spurs.

How tf are they still a team and Seattle is not!!!!

To be fair, the comparison to an NFL season isn’t really apt.

The odds of flipping heads at least ¹⁰⁄₁₇ times is around 30%, while ⁵⁰⁄₈₂ times is closer to 3%.

The smaller sample size makes it easier to deviate from the expected average.

The odds of never reaching ⁵⁰⁄₈₂ across 47 seasons would be around 20%. Meanwhile, the odds of never reaching ¹⁰⁄₁₇ would be 0.000005%.

“The NFL equivalent of this wind be a team basically finishing 10-7 (59% winning percentage) or worse for 47 straight seasons”

Arizona Cardinals, come on down!

Edit: For context, the Cardinals went 10-4 in 1976, and they would not win 10 or more games again until 2009. Not 47 years bad, but 33 years is still atrocious

Honestly.

Let the Wizards hang a banner when they finally do win 50+ games in a season. The fans deserve some happiness, they remind me of the Cardinals way too much.

Meanwhile the Celtics traded two starters and lost their supermax contract superstar and are currently messing around on their way to 55 wins

Sarr AD Trae surely gets them over the hump especially in this East right??

Talk to me next year

This is pretty crazy considering they were actually pretty good in the mid-2000s with the Gilbert Arenas/Antawn Jamison/Caron Butler Big 3

I hope the people posting about ‘we don’t get respect’ see this…

Can’t wait to post this next year for the 48th consecutive time.

I look forward to the ESPN documentary when Washington finally does it, titled 50 for 50 celebrating 50 years of the streak and 50 years of ESPN.

TIL 82-33 is less than 50. Interesting.

I feel the Wizards only exist as a place to dump bad contracts

Must be nice if you are a max player in the Wizards and just in it for the money.

Almost 0 chances of playoff games.

You can drop 20+/night and will not be in any post/video criticising your game.

Even if you lose its okay since there’s no expectations.

The NFL equivalent of this would be a team basically finishing 10-7

The Wizards have been struggling a long time but this is absolutely wrong. I been watching the NFL since Stallworth and this is absolutely a terrible equivalence. It’s more like going 13-3 (back in the day).

You aint got to lie to kick it.

And they look like they will probably make it to 50 pretty easily.
