GT #35: Wizards @ Grizzlies - Wed. 8PM 

Post#1 » by nate33 » Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:15 pm

miller31time hasn't started a new thread and I didn't wan't to get ducler'd, so here it is.

The Grizz blew us out last game, but that was mostly due to us losing the turnover battle 22-11. Nobody can win with that kind of disparity.

With the way the Wizards are playing, they are capable of beating anyone as long as they take care of the ball. I'm not predicting a win, but I'm not afraid of this team either.

Last time, it seemed like they tipped all our passes and were a hair quicker than us on everything. And then they had Jonas overpower us. We've got to play with more energy this time and be ready when they go to big Jonas. Can't let Ja get those big spurts at the end of quarters - seems like he does that to us a lot - waits for the right matchups and bam!

They won so easily last time that I expect they’re going to win again.
Bye bye Beal.

Robin Lopez time. Moe has to hit at least one of those 3-point shots. They are still getting to the rim anytime they want.

Rui has to play better, but if Deni starts, it's going to be at small forward.

Beal left his offense at the All-Star Game and I would say his defense, but nobody plays it there.

Looks like at 35+ point first quarter coming for Memphis. We just can't guard these guys. Need to try something different. A little zone.

Four new guys come in and the Grizzlies aren't scoring at will.

Westbrook comes back in and the defense goes to sh-t.

We’re not remotely athletic enough to hang with Memphis.

The Grizz remind me of a young OKC team with Durant. Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, etc.
In Rizzo we trust

WTF is Lopez doing? Supposed to be a smart guy from Stanford and he's chirping to Dillon Brooks. Maybe he's protecting Brad. IDK.

Lopez hasn't come to this game, mostly defensively. So much mistakes and holes.

Rui is killing us right now. If he's not making mid-range shots, he's not worth a crap. Dillon Brooks continues to frustrate Beal defensively, of course with help.
