GT #39: Wizards @ Bulls 8 PM (ESPN/CSN/99.1 FM) [1/14/15]

[80sballboy]

Might be biggest win of the year! So hold off one more game before you fire Wittman and trade Beal.

Welcome from Myanmar. I have really crappy internet so just now got online for a bit. Have only been able to read this page so far. But wow, the Wizards just beat San Antonio and if I understand correctly the Bulls as well? Pretty awesome stuff!

Heck yeah, sfam, and two of the best back-to-back games I've seen! (Over Spurs 101-93 and over @Bulls 105-99) Maybe you can arrange to be in Myanmar come playoff time. That might get them to the ECF at least.

[Kanyewest]

Still not getting ESPN love.

Seems like negative news sells.

So when they play their best I don't get to see them, ey? Excellent! But if it amounts to another trip to Yangon, I can do that (although the 16 hour leg on the flight is a bit rough). When I hang out in Shwedagon Pagoda I'll send some good karma vibes for the Wizards.

For the part you played, you'll probably go with them when they go meet the president.

PS: They have any carvable pumpkins over there?

Nothing expresses the disdain that Nene feels toward his many girlfriends who wear the Chicago Bulls uniform than seeing the burly Brazilian ox step back so he can hit a 23-foot jump shot.

Nene: "You are all my girlfriends. Now, you all go and make me a sandwich."

The best part of that win was Noah limping off to cry in the locker room for the rest of the game.

Injury report should say: DND - Sore bum.

[gambitx777]

Tied for the 4th most wins in the NBA.

But ranked 14 by Marc Stein

I think they wiz are showing why they are going to be dangerous in the playoffs. They have the ability to turn it on and when they do, they are really hard to beat.

ESPN got it wrong when they reported that Noah llmped off the court injured. He was really setting out early in plenty of time to fix Nene's sandwich.

If you listened real closely as Noah was exiting you could hear Nene say, "Make it a Reuben, corned beef and sauerkraut, on toasted rye. Cut my sandwich diagonally. On top of each bread, I want a julienne - sliced kosher dill pickle, attached by a tooth pick. The kind of tooth pick with frills on it. You got that?"

"And don't forget to put just the right amount of salt on my freedom fries!"

Noah hopefully got the order right.

NENE strikes me as more of a turkey club kind of guy. With Sour cream and onion chips on the sandwich and Cheetos on the side.

[Illmatic12]

Really though guys, we need to have a serious discussion about the Nene step back J:



Is it just me or was that shot smooth as butter? Maybe we can run higher PnRs with him on the floor - not on a consistent basis but for our end of quarter plays, instead of Wall doing his mindnumbing isos he can penetrate off the high screen (the entire defense will follow him into the lane, naturally) and kick it back to a WIDE open Nene. If he can even convert the shot 30% of the time it's worth a try esp for the extra point. I mean Wall's long two isos work what, maybe 10% of the time?



Seriously am I here or should Wittman try adding that to the playbook? I mean he stroked that thing from deep. Baffles my mind how someone can possess such an automatic jumper, yet is so awful at FTs

[dangermouse]

There was more luck in that shot than there was barbecue sauce on the pulled pork sandwich Noah made him for post-win.

[Illmatic12]

Nah dm, he stroked that thing with ease. If Booker can start shooting threes I don't see why Nene can't.

Might as well make himself more useful for these last 1.5 seasons of his contract.

[JudBuchler]

damn good win, on a back 2 back away

[Dark Faze]

Nene first step is so ridiculous when you consider how strong and bulky he is. The only thing stopping him from being an elite scorer is himself. It's a shame.

Once again Jimmy Butler was shut down. In 3 games against us he is averaging 11 ppg shooting 26%.

[Ruzious]

Nene had some awesome sequences to end the game that really highlighted the team comradery. When he took the charge he got a coupe chest daps from pierce and I think Wall and then that step back J (Have we found our stretch 4?!?!?!) and then pickin up pierce when he went to go congratulate em.

There is nothing more heart warming than taking it the bulls.

Was he the one Randy was talking about two years ago when he said the S4 might already be on the team ?

Good question. I think that's a mystery that will never be solved.

That 22 footer was one of those - No no no yes!!! shots. Sometimes a player just feels it. Just as long as that feeling goes away and he doesn't start firing up a bunch of those 22 foot 2's next game.
