GT #66: Kings @ Wizards 7 PM (CSN/99.1 FM) [3/14/15] 

Post#1 » by FAH1223 » Sat Mar 14, 2015 4:28 pm



HAPPY PI DAY (3.14.15) :clap: !

YOUR Washington Bullets are 37-28 AND 6-13 in their last 19 games. With 17 games left in the season, they are 6 games shy of being the 9th seed and 1 game back in the loss column from homecourt advantage in the first round. Which do you prefer? I prefer what gets Ted Leonsis to #FireGrunfeld. This will be a recurring theme.

The Kings are coming off a back to back in which they lost to the 76ers in Philadelphia. If the Wizards can neutralize Cousins and Gay, they've won the game. However, watch for Ray McCallum, a favorite on this board by a few, to cook John Wall something serious ala Isaiah Thomas of past matchups to make this an interesting game. Also we see the return of the Professor, Andre Miller, in a Wizards uniform. Perhaps tonight we see who wins that trade?

Wall and Cousins normally don't play well when their teams meet... probably due to them partying the night before. Not sure that'll be the case this time, but that's another story line to watch if this is another ugly game at Verizon Center.

The Kings are 3-7 in their last 10 games. They are 9-23 on the road. And they are 8-17 vs. Eastern Conference teams.

We should have a chance to win this game.

James Ham: Rudy Gay is doubtful for tonight’s game against Washington with a left patellar tendon strain.

Now we just need Cousins to get himself thrown out of the game...

I don't mind Nene being out, this actually is good rest for him, but more importantly additions to his family and making sure his wife is ok are far more important than basketball.

Hopefully the starters do what they need to do, but I only imagine Seraphin and Blair are strong enough to handle DeMarcus in the post.

Also, I feel like everytime Cousins comes into town him and Wall must go out the night before and get smashed cause they never seem to play that well against one another.

What the f.... Seriously? It's absolutely acceptable to miss a game to witness the birth of your children. Taking a week off though is ridiculous. It's not even a road game.

Cousins looks like he's going to be shooting jumpers all night and not rebounding. Good news, bad news.

Dear Demarcus,

Can you please stop shooting?

Thanks,

Beal looks completely out of synch and hesitant as usual.

Cousins is not even trying on defense. Just keep feeding Gortat inside.

How the **** is that reviewable outside of two minutes?

This replay business really needs to just die.

Can we please burn the Professor in a speed game? Nothing personal, Andre. Just sayin'.
