Facts.Clips now regular starting lineup is +14 together in 209 minutes. That’s better than the starting lineup of every team ahead of them in the West. 10-3 record since going to it.
Powell for Mann with the other 4 starters is also +25 in 48 minutes.
The one with Russ starting instead of Mann was -23 in 70 minutes
Was so obvious what needed to happen the second the trade was made.
Other things helping the situation: (1) Jim seems basically caught up conditioning and timing-wise from not having a training camp; (2) Kawhi’s latest software update appears to have fully downloaded now.

Pretty sure they’ve come close to selling out most games during the Ovechkin era, so almost like 20 years now. Much bigger fanbase than the Wiz. They’ll be fine in Alexandria.What’s the support for the DC hockey team like? Cuz surely the owners don’t think it’s that many die hard Wiz fans to follow them to a further out/inconvenient spot
Bet they wanna build their own lil entertainment district out there in VA like the Braves did when they moved up the road, that’s the new wave with owners now …The attendance in down years, which is most of the time with the Wizards is gonna be brutal
Taking Wiz games and concerts/wrestling/shows/etc out of DC proper seems insane though.

Tough to run a two big lineup when neither of them are really threats outside the paint

The Wizards move sucks
It was so convenient to go to Wizards games when I lived in the area and when I visit.
Not making that hike to Virginia to watch that damn Wizards.
I only go to Virginia for important things. Work, women, and El Pollo Rico

It won't happen, but the move would be perfect for a team re-brand too.

Suspend Draymond’s dumb *** for 20+ games. Seems like every week he’s doing something stupid on the court

Yes the Caps are more popular around the area, but at its heart DC is a basketball city.
Unfortunately the Wizards franchise is in the dumps so business wise I guess it makes sense to appeal to your more popular franchise (the Caps) and move to the burbs.

Wizards gotta change their name now. I hate “local” relocations. The Braves did something similar

The more that I think about it the more I like the move actually.
D.C. is inconvenient

They were bombing from 3 last night. Much more difficult to guard than with 2 bigs that can’t do much other than dunk.

Looking back on it now, with both Wiggins and Poole having great seasons kind of out of nowhere, someone really may have sold their soul for that GSW 2022 title. Nothing else really explains it for me.

The more I look into it it’s the same exacting the braves did, but for the Capitals…Move closer to the fans, money and get a better deal on real estate development round the arena by moving outside the city limits …Unfortunately for the Wizards they are an after thought in this scenario, but they always been with the current owners
The Wiz will never be good playing 2nd fiddle to owners that only care about hockey

If convenient is having to sit in traffic and pay $70 parking as your main option then you’ll def enjoy this move
Then you gon have to drive back into the city if you wanna do anything interesting that’s still open after the game…More convenience for you there

Honestly the ideal move for Warriors next year would be to get Bron and move Klay and Wiggins for pieces.

Am I missing something here? Excuse my Canadian, but I Googled the distance. Alexandria is only 8 miles from Washington DC.
Is this that big of a deal?

Their current Arena is located at a stop on the DC/subway Metro train line.
So it was very convenient to see games and avoid traffic. Take the metro in from Maryland or Virginia. See game. Hop back on metro.
The new stadium won't have a metro stop. So to see game people will have to drive. Or maybe take a shuttle from a metro stop. Virginia has horrible traffic
So it will have extra time and cost (paying for parking) to a lot of people wanting to go see games. Especially coming from Maryland.
