Sorry if it's all over the place, I'm focused on my finals right now but I just wanted to vent and literally just started writing any thought that came to my head. From my Skins to my Wiz, all my teams are falling apart. I'm not sad that our team isn't going to be popular or cool, I'm more bummed that our guys actually deserve all this recognition but they're not going to get it. Beal is gonna be seen as "still too young" and Wall is gonna be labeled as "someone good but not good enough", and we're going to revert back to the same team nobody ever gave a shit about. Soon ESPN and the rest of the world is going to forget about us again. That deserves to experience success in the playoffs. I truly believe that every single one of our players is an amazing talent that deserves to win. Not our backcourt when they've finally matured. Not our team a few years from now when we acquire more talent to accompany our backcourt. I'm so sick of being stuck in the "rebuilding" phase. I know everyone is talking about how young we are and how much potential we have but I don't care about that. The stupid part of me that wanted to see so much from our playoff run finally gave in after today. And even with all the emotional padding I added, this loss really hurt. Even during our 19 point lead I was skeptical and had to hold myself back from getting too excited. To reminisce with my old friends, a chance to share some memories, and play our songs again. Watching these past few games have really anchored me back down to reality. We always reminisce about how everyone tried to get Diane Lane's attention, to very little success. I tried my best not to be overly optimistic and the voice of reason always tried to pull me back into reality, but I was just so proud of the Wiz that I focused on the future too much and kept thinking about us making the Finals. I completely disregarded the immature plays from the season, the lack of ability to close out games, the nights where Beal would go 2-14, everything. Our team played with patience, poise, and a maturity that I never thought I would see in such young players. Everyone was doing their part on both ends of the floor and positioning themselves correctly. #I don t wanna reminisce like this series#During that series I saw a well oiled machine, and not just some team that got by on luck and fire, I saw a team that was focused and making the right plays. I only wanted our backcourt to gain some post season experience and expected nothing else, until the bulls series. Coming into the playoffs I only had one expectation: gain experience.
