GT #74: Rockets (49-23) @ Wizards (41-32) 12:30 PM (ABC/99.1 FM) [3/29/15]
Posted: Sun Mar 29, 2015 12:14 am
YOUR Washington Bullets are 41-32 AND 10-17 in their last 27 games. 26-11 at home, 15-21 on the road. With the win last night, we officially clinched a playoff spot.
The Wiz are coming a tiring double overtime victory vs. the Hornets. Drew Gooden played out of his mind and you'll probably never see anything like that again. Wall took 30 shots in the mold of Westbrook and made a couple clutch shots down the stretch to get the W.
The Rockets have MVP Candidate James Harden and he is just about unstoppable, right? The Wiz did do a decent job vs. him in the first game in Houston which saw the Wizards eek out a narrow victory and Bradley Beal having a big game.
The Rockets love to shoot 3s and get in the paint and free throw line. Look at this shot distribution.

Dwight Howard may or may not play... McHale is not playing him in back to backs and may keep him out so he can be ready for the Raptors. The Rockets are banged up. Terrence Jones, Donatas Motiejunas, and Patrick Beverly are OUT. Trevor Ariza makes his first return to DC since bolting for Houston after the 2014 Playoffs.
I'm expecting a blowout since this is a Sunday afternoon game and the Wizards never win these. Plus, one W doesn't mean anything. This is still a subpar team that will lose in 5 in the 1st round. The gap will be televised for all the country to see on ABC.
