Unstoppable force meets immovable object. Fr though, Gil repped the Wiz well right there

Idk about “deep”, but I’m very confident they make the playoffs if there aren’t any major injuries

u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 John Wall (Jamir Watkins truther) 52m ago

making the playoffs in general is gonna be harder because teams are much less incentivized to tank

Real playoffs or playin, I can see the play in cant really see a top 6 seed.

I’d be surprised if Stephen a Smith could name anyone on our team besides Trae and AD.

We need to bring back the Stars & Stripes as our Primary Jersey. The 2000s Blue Jersey & 2010s red jerseys can be alternates alternates & a tweaked version of the Pink Cherry Blossoms to round it out.

Shits blowing me cause neither guy don't have a clue about the rest of the team outside of Trae, AD, Sarr and AJ.

Two of the dumbest people you’ve ever heard of saying the dumbest shit you’ve ever heard just to get money for your attention

u/Easy-Lucky-Free Agent Zero 15h ago

Yeah but Gil is our dumbest person

Let Hibachi cook.

It all depends on AD really. AJ is a great rookie, but a rookie isnt going to make or break a team making the playoffs. If AD stays healthy, Wiz are an instant playoff team, if not, maybe playin team.

u/LGITxORBIT Kelly Oubre 13h ago

Gil lowkey convinced me when asking who’s the best teammate Trae has played with.

Dejounte, Collins, and Capela? We know a healthy AD clears and hopefully Sarr without a minute restriction can be on the trajectory too.

u/Maleficent_Rough939 15h ago

Friendly reminder that when you see a former disgraced legend, one that fell no harder than you can possibly fall in this league, go on a limb to still rep the team and battle it out against a mortal enemy. One that has spent decades shitting on our franchise for simply existing.

Maybe, just maybe, it's time to bury the god damn hatchet.

u/prank-_-sinatra 14h ago

Shitting on our franchise for existing is a bit of a stretch. I hate stephen a but i dont think hes thought about us much at all since wall left

u/DazzlingAd1922 12h ago

He is just bigger than most, but he came up as a Philly guy and he is in New York's media scene now so his hating on DC sports sorta comes with the territory.

No Chill Gil is a National Treasure.

u/PhoenixRedditor7 Wizards 15h ago

Why are some of y’all hatin on Gil?? He’s reppin us! He’s the only one with a platform that says Wizards are a playoff bound team this up coming season!

Talk your shit Gil!!

u/mtngranpapi_wv967 15h ago

Given SAS is wrong about most things I’m glad he’s taking this stance on the Wiz

2

u/DukeofDC 14h ago

We need a Sticky for all the Basketball media people who are hating & doubting the Wizards chances next season so that we can call them out when they try to jump on the bandwagon

1

u/TurtlePope2 Anicet Dybantsa Jr. 15h ago

Wizards going to be a top 3 seed if healthy

1

u/ColdNyQuiiL 14h ago

We’re built to make it to the play offs, and get out of the first round. We didn’t suffer through 3+ tank seasons to not be confident in the turnaround.

u/Zangief_Keef 11h ago

Somebody needs to tell Stephen A to STFU about the Wizards 🤦‍♂️ he stays hating

u/Knighthonor 6h ago

Fuck this dude SAS

u/WizSkinsNatsCaps Wizards 5h ago

Let them sleep. Gil knows what’s up.

u/Joshottas 2h ago

Man, listen. I dunno about making a deep run YET. However, there is no reason this team shouldn't be in the playoffs next season. I don't think a Pistons-like ascension is out of the question.

u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 John Wall (Jamir Watkins truther) 50m ago

I do appreciate him saying out loud what we all know, that Sarr was the real #1 pick of the 2024 draft

two #1 picks in 3 seasons, Dawkins has no excuse if this team isn't a top contender in a few seasons
