If you turned THIS game on, you had nothing to do today -Charles Barkley somewhere probably

Efficient_Buy4031 | Wizards

26 | 3 days ago

Still confused as to why so many fans of other teams are acting like we invented tanking. Anyways cry more y’all, we’ll see you at the lottery.

Ok-Frosting2235 | Wizards

8 | 3 days ago

i’m praying we can get through this year of the tank before they change lottery rules to discourage tanking even further lol

Efficient_Buy4031 | Wizards

5 | 3 days ago

Even if they change anything it can’t happen until the offseason so we’re good

MolingHard | Nets

5 | 3 days ago

Changing the lottery rules won’t do anything to affect tanking

The only real solution is penalizing sitting healthy players, but then it’s a whole other dilemma of determining what is healthy enough

GoZards18

3 | 3 days ago

Flattening the odds has made it so more teams should tank after all star break

MolingHard | Nets

1 | 3 days ago

Flattening the odds will help with teams that are on the border of the play-in trying to make it rather then tank, but for a game like today with two bonafide shitters, it’s not gonna affect much

GoZards18

1 | 3 days ago

What about this season when they are 8-10 teams tanking the last two months of season

MolingHard | Nets

1 | 3 days ago

Yea I dunno, honestly there’s clearly no real fix for this system or else the NBA and the very smart expensive people they employ would have done something about it

Just gotta hope for more talent and parity in the league maybe? So more teams think they have a shot at winning, I dunno haha

GoZards18

2 | 3 days ago

They should go back to the staggered odds

MolingHard | Nets

1 | 3 days ago

I agree, that would improve things and we won’t see shit like the Spurs and Mavs last draft, but even with the previous odds we’ve had crazy bad tankers, feels like an impossible fix

GoZards18

2 | 3 days ago

Better to have 3-4 actually bad teams that should be tankers than 8-10

Ok-Frosting2235 | Wizards

1 | 3 days ago

oh no i agree, i just worry they’ll adjust the odds anyway

yumomnom | Wizards

Is Knicks fans. They don’t know how to cope after getting blown out by nearly 40 to a team that lost to our tank squad. Plus they’re thirsty for our pick.

29671 | Hornets

-9 | 3 days ago

Any teams (Utah Jazz) doing what the Wizards did today should be embarrassed. Resting like all of your young talent for no legitimate reason is just another level of tanking.

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

4 | 3 days ago

Will Riley and Jamir Watkins were drafted this season and played 45 minutes

29671 | Hornets

0 | 3 days ago

okay bud. Your team had like 3 active players and they had to play the full game because of that.

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

1 | 3 days ago

sounds like we didn’t rest all our young talent then

CoCAllpro | NBA

-1 | 3 days ago

Lol stop it dude it’s clear tanking. Not the wizards fault that this is incentivized

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

2 | 3 days ago

we were obviously tanking, but we also played some of our young talent

CoCAllpro | NBA

-1 | 3 days ago

None of these dudes are in the rotation next year. Bub is beginning to look like an outsider. Will Riley is fighting to get maybe 10 mins a game next year. Jamir, Cooper, Vukcevic are not in the rotation next year man

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

3 | 3 days ago

Will Riley is a 19 year old who dropped 27 points on 53/67/75 splits along with 4 stocks and he’s gonna struggle to get minutes on one of the worst teams in the NBA next season?

29671 | Hornets

DakotaConduct

I’ve watched the Wiz get absolutely jobbed by the lottery for basically a decade and miss out on Wemby by one stupid ping pong ball so I guess I’ll have to look just a little harder for how much I care about people getting upset at the wizards for tanking

vexxes | WAS

24 | 3 days ago

Wow. Wizards lost by 14. This will go down as one of the most embarrassing losses in history

Darkblade511 | Wizards

22 | 3 days ago

I love the idea that the Nets are somehow so bad that simply losing by 14 points will get thinkpiecies with thousands of upvotes.

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

10 | 3 days ago

I mean the Pistons just straight up lost to our G-Leaguers

MolingHard | Nets

4 | 3 days ago

Look I don’t blame you guys for tanking, but the discourse was started because the game was over midway through the first

You guys were down 26 by the end of the first quarter to a team that has getting blown out every other game by good teams, not because of “simply losing by 14 points”

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

5 | 3 days ago

oh no, a team ended up with a large deficit because of outlier 3pt shooting, someone call the cops

MolingHard | Nets

4 | 3 days ago

Lol c’mon now, you really think you guys would be down 26 to the 2026 Nets if guys like Sarr, Johnson, and George were healthy (not gonna even mention Trae and AD)

That would say more about the Wizards then anything else

Humble_Specialist901

3 | 3 days ago

Tre Johnson is genuinely injured though

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

5 | 3 days ago

I remember our entire sub melting down when we got blown out by you guys at the beginning of the season when our whole team was healthy, yes

MolingHard | Nets

1 | 3 days ago

Think you guys are a lot better then the start of the season

But guess we won’t know to what extent

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

5 | 3 days ago

hopefully, but I also think our young guys are just not as good as a lot of Wizards fans would like

MolingHard | Nets

2 | 3 days ago

I like Sarr and George a lot, I’m not exactly sure about Johnson

Either way Trae - lotto pick - George - AD - Sarr, will at least be really entertaining to watch (bar injuries)

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

3 | 3 days ago

I feel the same way, but I’m a little bit worried that the “eye test” is overrating Sarr and George a bit more than what the stats back up, but idk, we’ll see next season

Darkblade511 | Wizards

2 | 3 days ago

AD just had surgery on his hand, so yes, I would be shocked if he played today.

MolingHard | Nets

2 | 3 days ago

Cool the other guys are healthy enough to play though

Look it’s smart what your team is doing, but acting like it’s legit injuries is farcical lol

xebex1778 | Knicks

2 | 3 days ago

Been there

Darkblade511 | Wizards

-2 | 3 days ago

The Nets literally waived their 2nd leading scorer in order to tank. It’s the right thing to do, but it is also tanking. Both sides are doing it.

MolingHard | Nets

5 | 3 days ago

Nets literally waived their 2nd leading scorer in order to tank

Yea I don’t blame you for never watching the Nets, but Cam Thomas is the tank commander, he makes the team worse…

It’s the right thing to do, but it is also tanking. Both sides are doing it.

I agree that it’s the right thing to do, but fuck off with the “both sides are doing it” lol

If we were doing it MPJ, Claxton, Sharpe, Clowney, and Demin would have been out with “contusions” as well (which I hope happens next time we play)

Darkblade511 | Wizards

2 | 3 days ago

No, they’d be listed with “soreness.” If a player has a contusion, it’s a real injury. If it’s soreness,s it’s fake.

MolingHard | Nets

4 | 3 days ago

A contusion is literally just a fancy word for a bruise, all these guys have bruises every game lol

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

2 | 3 days ago

well Cam Thomas is also genuinely dogshit

Froqwasket | Wizards

9 | 3 days ago

I’ve noticed all the threads calling for us to get fined and lose our draft picks are leaving this detail out lmao. You’d think we lost by 100 points

We won

Game was closer then expected

Darkblade511 | Wizards

The Nets shot lights out in the first half, then reverted to normal in the second half.

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

Will Riley and Jamir Watkins both playing 45:10 exactly is kinda hilarious, Keefe knows what he’s doing

Jef_Delon | Wizards

anonymoususer6407 | Rockets

Wizards had the roster of death doom and despair, wtf was their starting lineup?

MolingHard | Nets

3 | 3 days ago

This game was basically over halfway through the first quarter

Hopefully the Nets FO and coaches were paying attention and will respond accordingly next time the Nets play another tanking team, but who knows, they seem to rarely rest their guys at home

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

8 | 3 days ago

We don’t really rest our guys at home either, it’s business at the end of the day

Froqwasket | Wizards

0 | 3 days ago

?? It was a 14 point game lmfao

MolingHard | Nets

0 | 3 days ago

You guys were down 26 at the end of the first, and I think the closest it ever got was 12

The second half might as well been a preseason game, because no one was really trying and the outcome was already determined

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

7 | 3 days ago

we came back from a 20 point deficit against the Grizzlies earlier this season, no one is impressed by a 26 point lead get over yourselves lmao

Syndana23 | Lakers

1 | 3 days ago

Did you rest all your guys during that game against the grizzlies??

Be for real wizards were not trying to win this game even if they got the score down to 5 points they would have found a way to lose unless the nets themselves tried to out tank them in the end

MolingHard | Nets

-3 | 3 days ago

You think getting outscored by 26 points in one quarter is normal?!

Dude just accept that your team shamelessly tanked and got goombablasted by a bad Nets, so much so that the entire game was basically a scrimmage

No one is gonna remember this game by the time the draft comes around, I’m not gonna shame other tanking teams, but Wizards fans trying to argue this was actually a game is weird af

Like you guys lost, but ultimately won, but why tf are you guys arguing this game was actually competitive

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

4 | 3 days ago

I think outlier events happening occasionally is “normal”

This was obviously a tank game but it wasn’t any more egregious than any other tank game like people are trying to claim

MolingHard | Nets

-1 | 3 days ago

Well good thing I’m not claiming that

Like I said in other comments in this thread, I want the Nets to follow suit in resting their few good players

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

3 | 3 days ago

clearly the people calling for our heads for this “egregious” instance of tanking think there’s something uniquely wrong with what we’re doing, but they’ll come for you guys as well at some point later this season

MolingHard | Nets

1 | 3 days ago

I hope they do, because it means the FO is using their heads rather then playing by the rules

But we didn’t last season so I have my doubts they will this season, but one can hope

Plenty_Flatworm7627 | Wizards

3 | 3 days ago

you’re tied with us in terms of record right now so you’re definitely tanking harder than last season

not sure why you’re trying to build up MPJ’s trade value past the trade deadline though

Froqwasket | Wizards

1 | 3 days ago

How was it “basically over” if it ended with a 14 point difference? That’s not a big gap. To me that says you probably would’ve lost if we had 1-2 more starters available

muiht1l

2 | 3 days ago

Nets fans aren’t familiar with the concept that games are 48 minutes long and double digit leads can evaporate if the other team plays harder and better. It’s funny because Rudy certainly coached like the game wasn’t over in the second half. Plenty of time outs when the Wizards went on runs.

MolingHard | Nets

1 | 3 days ago

double digit leads can evaporate if the other team plays harder and better

Yea maybe if the teams have an equal level of talent, but look at he Wizards roster today, the Nets would have had to deliberately score on their own baskets to erase a 26 point first quarter lead

It’s funny because Rudy certainly coached like the game wasn’t over in the second half.

It’s funny that ~~Rudy~~ Jordi did his job? Huh?

AnthonyMorrowBurner

2 | 3 days ago

Usually fans take a season or 2 of success to become delusional but looks like Wizards fans are getting straight to it

Froqwasket | Wizards

3 | 3 days ago

If you think that 14 points is an insurmountable lead in today’s NBA I don’t even know what to say you lmfao

AnthonyMorrowBurner

1 | 3 days ago

Going on a small run to cut a lead from 30 to 14 isn’t going to hide the fact you guys are blatantly throwing games and should have your pick taken away

MolingHard | Nets

-1 | 3 days ago

How was it “basically over” if it ended with a 14 point difference

If the game never gets closer then 12 and you guys have two NBA level players on the roster “healthy”, yes the game is basically over

There was legitimately zero point in the game where I felt any sign of hope of the Wizards coming back and making this an actual game, and I’m sure despite your arguing you felt the same

To me that says you probably would’ve lost if we had 1-2 more starters available

Yea they might’ve, which would’ve been great, but what does that have to do with this conversation

muiht1l

4 | 3 days ago

Please spare us, man. Your team literally just lost by 50 to a team we beat in the same week led by the same players that played in this game. Glass houses.

MolingHard | Nets

0 | 3 days ago

Brother your team tried to lose that game too, by benching key players after the half lol

Also what is your argument, that my team is actually bad? Uhh I know that, that’s why it’s annoying that a team like the Wizards are purposely making themself worse then a team that has less talent then them

“Glass houses” isn’t applicable, unfortunately the Nets FO aren’t as keen to rest their players

Froqwasket | Wizards

3 | 3 days ago

Your first point makes zero sense. How would you know that it “never got closer than 12” until the game is over? 12-0 runs happen in tons of games, it’s really not that crazy. to say the game was “over” by half time is just wrong lol

MolingHard | Nets

0 | 3 days ago

Because there was like a minute left by the time it got to 12??? And you guys don’t have a single player on the level of a Dinwiddie let alone a TMac currently “healthy”?

Did you watch this game?

And I didn’t say over by half time, I said over by halfway through the 1st quarter

Once again, did you watch this game??

Froqwasket | Wizards

1 | 3 days ago

over by halfway through the 1st quarter

Just curious, what would’ve happened if we’d scored 15 more points across quarters 2 through 4? Take your time to think about it

MolingHard | Nets

0 | 3 days ago

Wtf are you talking about, do you see the roster you guys put out today???

Also, for as many 20 pt comebacks there are in the NBA there are like 10,000 more instances where teams DON’T come back, and you guys were down 33 at half

Just enjoy your tank win man, stop trying to argue that this was actually a game wtf are you doing…
