The way people talk about this team now is nothing like we are use to, everyday there is some type of negative viral tweet about what the wizards are doing but that is to be expected when Jordan Poole is on your team, what is not expected is seeing people who are supposed to be “fans” of this team so fucking shocked that we are 2-14, like what did y’all expect to happen when they traded beal, Kp and cut taj just to make sure they didn’t have a competitive back up center, a lot of people won’t admit it, but you can tell by the dumb sly comments that a lot of y’all didn’t want this tank because now that it’s here it seems all common sense has gone out the window
Honestly, given the last 20 years in DC, I’d think fans would know what a proper tank looks like and what it can start.
2004 - Caps blow it all up, win the draft lottery, get Alex Ovechkin. Sustained success for 15 years and won a title and could have won more.
2008-9 - Nats drop a 100 games each year, draft Strasburg and Harper. Best 8 year run in franchise history ensues, culminating with a title.
But those years before getting those players were AWFUL. The Wizards are in the AWFUL phase, and I’m here for it.
Most fans in DC don’t remember the bad times. They bandwagoned to other teams (or supported their hometown team if they moved here) until the Caps or Nats were good again.
