    The youngsters. vets and new arrivals mainly fought back, but lost and almost everybody has already lost their minds.
    It is going to be a tough few years as we lose a lot more than we win, so expect wailing and mashing of teeth on this forum.

    Didn't Tilman buy the team with Chris Rock huge contract on it? It was already going to hell.

    Not a big deal since we're in year 1 of the rebuild. If it was this bad after 3-4 years then we should be very concerned.

    Take a look at all these young superstars coming into the league, we just need to draft 2 of them in the next couple years then we'll be back to contention.

    The last 8 years with Harden, I don't really watch other teams games without getting bored but now there is a reason to do so.

    Watch OKC, hoping they lose (the more losses they have, the better our pick will be since we're also losing).

    Watch Nets and see that Kyrie timebomb blowup so we get a bunch of lottery picks or watch Harden succeed and win a ring.

    We lost to teams that’s been playing together for years. We’re a brand new squad. Teams with chemistry and continuity are going to beat us. No team in the league has less continuity and familiarity with each other than our squad. They’re still learning to lay with each other and the coach is learn how to play them. There’s been 5 straight games of different starting lineups

    I still enjoyed the game. It's more about personal milestones now. I'm watching to see Wood and any future pieces we eventually get develop. As long as they grow, I'm happy win or lose. Just have to change the mindset. At least we have Wood. If it was all old guys and we were still losing, it'd be miserable.

    on a positive note, it makes regular season games more fun because you know there won't be any playoffs. Before, i'd only sporadically check in on a regular season game because ultimately, you knew they were making the playoffs and that's what really mattered.

    Gotta build that off-court (sexual) chemistry.

    I know we have to convince ourselves of this, but we know it's horseshit. Tilman destroyed this team and until he's gone all we got is the Dream years hype.

    I’m a cowboys fan so I guess I’m a lil more immune/tolerant to troublesome meddle-some owners.


    I’m also a Nats fan and still living off the hype of a recent WS.

    This last season was an anomaly. They did finish under .500 and squeaked into the playoffs. Yes they performed well once they got in the playoffs, but one of the biggest reasons has been signed by the Blue jays. I don't know Correa's future because of arbitration. So, it's hard to say if they will have a successful 2021 season like they did this last season. I doubt they will make it into the playoff at .500 with a normal length season.
