I think the problem with the Wizards is that they are a victim of the league. The league is set up for two teams to win right now, Golden State and Cleveland. You can talk all you want about how it's a new era and Boston / Minnesota / OKC / Houston / Washington can compete with GS or Cleveland but we all know during playoff time that they'll find some way to lose. The league is WAY too reliant on superstars and super teams. That is the only way to win a championship. Wall and Beal don't have a super team. They won't really make progress IMO until they get Cousins. If you have Cousins playing up front you instantly make that team elite.

The free agent list is still full of talent. What's up with that? Of course, not superstar talent but why are good role players who know how to contribute still unemployed? Could be the Warriors' fault. Why spend money on veterans that can help you when you know you'd still stand no chance against the Dubs?

How the hell did Orlando get smoked at home by the Bulls?

76ers win again.

Monster LeBron game as the Cavs play him an obscene amount of minutes in DC.

Simmons with his 2nd triple double tonight. First to do that in his first 9 games since the Big O. First Sixer to do it since Wilt. Obviously very early days but that's pretty nice company to be in at the start of your career.

It seems to be like many NBA fans are really savage against young players. Lonzo will be really good player.

Most young players suck. That's just reality.

Yes, but Lonzo is absolutely amazing, he is freshman from college facing NBA point guards. Most young players suck at every sport. Still too much bust comments about Lonzo. Potential is definitely there and people should be able to recognize it, even he doesn't score 10+ PPG. Will be franchise player for long time.
