GT #22: Wizards @ 76ers 7 PM (NBCSW/1500 AM)

YOUR Washington Bullets are now 8-13 and are approaching where many thought they'd be at.. a .500 team at the bottom half of the Eastern Conference playoff race. They're currently the 9th seed with signs of the day of reckoning approaching. The team never leads after the 1st quarter, routinely is down 20 points every night only to claw back and ultimately lose big on the road or narrowly win some home games.

TONIGHT, they are in Philadelphia to face the newest edition of the 76ers. The Sixers traded for Jimmy Butler only a few weeks ago (he already has two GW shots)... sending Saric and Covington to the T-Wolves who are playing outstanding defensive basketball. The Sixers have gotten worse defensively since the trade but have picked it up lately after taking some Ls. Embiid is an MVP candidate and Ben Simmons still can't shoot and refuses to shoot a 3 if he's left wide open.

Despite that, the Wizards will probably get blown out of the water early. Thomas Bryant's welcome to the NBA faces his biggest challenge tonight. And with the news that Dwight Howard will be out for most of the season should he get surgery for his ass, its looking like the young pup will see consistent minutes. The well-fed, $64M Center racking up DNP-CDs on the bench should get some run tonight too.

The Wizards have rarely been able to keep any of their losses respectable, so it's going to be an against the odds win or a blowout tonight.

My money is on the latter, Sixers by +25.

Yup. Particularly with Otto out.

Looks like Troy Brown will get a little burn. Although I suppose Brooks might just play Sato at SF all night long and let Rivers play 28 minutes backing up both guard positions. You know, anything to get Rivers more minutes.

Porter personal a misdirect? The Howard news might have left Ernie in search for a jolt.

Something around Cauley-Stein and Shumpert to the Wiz perhaps?

OTTo’s uncle died recently. So I’m assuming it has to do with that.

If you’re trading him to SAC, WCS has to be in the package. He’s a RFA this summer

At this rate 76ers gonna get 80 rebs. Pelicans had 64 last Wiz game so they are onto the record.

Most rebounds in a game
109 by the Boston Celtics vs. the Detroit Pistons on December 24, 1960

On a positive note, Wizards haven't surrendered 40 points in the quarter.

More and more we are less and less competitive.

The firesale starts soon methinks.

Unfortunately, it will be Clown Car Grunfeld doing the selling.
