YOUR Washington Bullets are 7-3 AND coming off a tough loss to the Mavs!

The homestand continues with a game against Cavaliers with LeBron's return, the addition of Kevin Love, and a bunch of other veterans. Dion Waiters has been benched for Shawn Marion to start. The King has been complaining that he's played too many minutes in this young season and that his new B1G three should have their minutes reduced.

The Cavs suffered a home defeat against the NBA Champion Spurs. Ginobili missed a free throw to make it a 3 point game. LeBron then committed a turnover at half court which ended the game.

Will the Wizards have better shot selection? Can they exploit one of the worst defenses in the NBA? Will Wall take it to the rack? Will Seraphin not get dunked on and try to go 1 on 5 right after? Will Gortat grow a pair and live in the paint?

Last game:
Mavericks vs. Wizards (L) 105-102
Spurs vs. Cavaliers - (L) 92-90

We better watch out, the 'best backcourt in the NBA' is coming to the city. :wink:

The battle of the backcourts should be fun with both Waiters & Beal (coming off injury) coming off the bench.
In truth Wall and Beal are the better backcourt although 2still second best in the East.
The only player to fear is LeBron but he is getting increasingly inconsistent in his play and soon he will put on his GM hat and make a outlandish trade or fire the coach or demand the team be called the LeBrons. After all the NFL team is called the Browns and a Cleveland tradition to name teams after people.

Hope you play them hard and win we get them the next night in Cleveland.

Really hope Wall isn't told to, or doesn't go Kyrie on all the P n R plays. I still think Kyrie is an average floor general, Wall should be a bit aggressive with him on D. Also, please, no more temple and Seraphin. More Butler and Gooden, sprinkled in with a bit of GR JR.

I'm predicting a loss here, simply because the Wizards aren't defending well right now, and the Cavs run that stupid weave play that always kills the Wizards.

It would also be nice to beat a semi-decent team this year.

Beal should start and if he does, Temple better not be the first SG off the bench or I'll officially start the Fire Wittless thread.

I'll be there, in a suite which is a first for me, wearing my Beal jersey. :rock:

Heckle Randy for me if he starts temple or inserts Seraphin at any point in the game plz.

I fully expect rotations to be the same for the foreseeable future. Wittman has his strengths but being quick on rotation changes isn't one of them. He likes to give players all the rope they need in order to hang themselves. Temple will start. Seraphin will get backup center minutes.

I hope I'm wrong but I've seen this movie before and the ending sucks.

I'll be there to watch our first win of the year against a good team.

Yeah, I said it.

Wall will outplay Irving and Pierce will bother Lebron enough to grind out a win.

James Jones looks like E.T.

WTF happened to his head....

Everyone expects Beal to start but I think Witt holds him out til tomorrow. I expect Temple to again kill our vibe but hopefully Brad comes in sooner

Of course he loves it... he beats us in the playoffs all the time...

Looks like Washington & Toronto are the hope of the Eastern Division with Chicago needing a MASH UNIT and will the LeBron's ever get their crap together. Hope we both humble Cleveland Friday & Sat. :lol:
