GT #65: Bullets @ LA Lakers 10:30 PM (NBA TV / NBCSW / 980 AM) [3/11/22]

[FAH1223]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 29-35 and we just witnessed bad end of game coaching and execution vs. the Clippers!

The Bullets had a 5 point lead with less than 2 minutes to go and proceeded to not score thereafter! Meanwhile, Ty Lue drew up incredible plays and his players spaced the floor for clutch 3s to basically win the game.

Your Bullets remain in LA to face the struggling LA Lakers. This is the first time both teams meet since last summer's blockbuster 5-team trade. Our old PG, Russell Westbrook, has fans sending death threats to his family. LeBron is putting up numbers but he can no longer carry a team with as many deficiencies LAL has. Anthony Davis is injured and his availability has been limited since LAL hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy in The Bubble about 17 months ago.

They're coming off a loss to the young Rockets.

Will the tank keep chugging along? Or will the Lakers continue to struggle and make losing plays themselves?

Projected Lineups :











Bench:

[Ruzious]

Lebron's probably got a chip on his shoulder after last night's debacle and a rare bad game by him, and let's face it - our bigs are less physical than he is, so even at less than 100%. he could dominate. Losing to the Rockets is probably the low point of their lousy season. They'll be looking to rebound, so to speak. And Westbrook will be motivated. I got the Lakers winning 117-97.

[9 and 20]

Kispert about to pull a Brent Price and drop 30 on LeBron.

Wiz win 121-92.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

The Lakers are truly bad.

Kuzma will be highly motivated. The Wizards are going to score outside and inside,

Wizards win 116-109

[Halcyon]

This is a win.

Must lose game. NY and LA wins tonight would do wonders moving us up from 12th spot to 10th with both of them the next two teams behind us in the standings. New York is on a three game win streak and up 9 going into the 4th against MEM.

**** it, let's get a W. Knicks ended up blowing it.

Westbrick already getting the calls. He'll likely have a big game considering he's going up against Neto and Ish. I assume he'll see Sato as well.

[80sballboy]

Kuzma pressing so far,

[80sballboy]

Neto freelancing and playing no D. If you really want to win, don't start him and don't play him late in games. For tanking purposes, he's great.

Amen. Neto is hot trash

Honestly, I think I've been more gentle than most on Gooden as a commentator, but the dude is too close to other players. He just jocks other team's players all night. Now I'm all for compliments and pointing out facts about the game, but brown nosing every team's players that come through on a regular basis, it's getting old.

KCP on the break is always cringe worthy, just has no clue.

Maybe he shouldn't be talking about betting with Ish Smith considering the Calvin Ridley situation. Then he obviously had a producer in his ear telling him that he should say it was not a bet for money. Not the brightest bulb. Though all they talk about every night at the half and in the studio at the end of games is betting thanks to Ted and his Sportsbook.

Damn some of those Laker Girls...

[Frichuela]

I would love to see this squad with a decent starting quality PG. Starting freaking Neto does not cut it.

[80sballboy]

Did Wes actually get a tech?

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

These young bucks need a point guard that can pass, and we have nothing in the kinda way.

[80sballboy]

So I guess Thomas Bryant will see some time when Zinger sits against Portland and next week against the Knicks or Lakers.
