GT #67: Bullets @ Warriors 10 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) [3/14/22]
YOUR Washington Bullets are 29-37 and are coming off JOSH HART dominating with a career high!
Monday night they finish their disasterous road trip in San Francisco to face the Warriors. The Dubs are coming off a huge W over the reigning NBA champion Bucks.
Curry and Thompson will probably combine for 75 points. Draymond Green will be back so expect the Bullets to not score much at all.
A 30 point victory for GSW is in the cards! And tank rolls on... though the Bullets lottery odds have no improved!!!

Draymond's return game. This is setting up to be a blowout loss.

Deni busts out of his slump. 14, 8 and 7. Shuts down Klay Thompson.
Wiz win 130-104.
Wiz win 130-104.

Warriors will toy with us for a while before deciding to get serious and blow us out.

I like Deni on Curry. I’d keep it that way.
I’d love to see WUJ match up a little. But he doesn’t

So inevitable. Sato as two with one of the midget Pgs and the opponents go on a run. Use Sato as PG. Not that hard.

Rui just knocks down 3's. I can't remember another player making such a leap in shooting during one off-season...

We are so limited by our bad PG play. We have entire possessions where we do nothing. Warriors are just impressive. Every possession they put pressure on the defense. We desperately need a PG. Neto and Smith struggle to initiate offense and often call their own number.

So frustrating to see Avdija being guarded by Curry. He has 6 inches on him and he can't even put pressure on the defense. Avdija needs to improve offensively. We need to be able to attack the defense when opposing teams try to hide players.

Not close between the Warriors and us. These Warriors look really good. Poole, Kuminga, Porter, Moody. They have reloaded. Will be a very tough out in the playoffs.

Well, we are down a lot at the half 73-57. I cant say this was unexpected.
Some positives...
Avidja is shooting the ball and has made a couple baskets. Hopefully he is getting out of his funk that he is in.
KCP, Neto (dare I say), and Kuzma are keeping us competitive, if you want to call it that.
Some negatives...
Hachimura should drive to the basket more. He is settling for the 3's only.
Kispert should shoot more. He is playing it too safe.
Where is Bryant??

The Warriors make it clear how limited Porzingis is when he's not knocking down shots or getting easy buckets inside. In his defense, Porzingis suffers from a lack of good pg play. Good pg's can generate easy offense for their team. Our pg's rarely if ever do that. It's ironic, but looking at how our team is built,

I wish we too could find reasonably good players and put them in a system that gets a lot out of them. Its a combination of the player, the preparation/practice, and the in-game coaching.

Meh. Kind of a borefest. GS gets any shot they want and Draymond does what he does. Sets great screens and is allowed to move on them (thanks Leon Wood), gets Curry and Thompson open on screens. Everyone knows their roles. Wiz offense gets zero shots for Kispert. He gets one dunk and no three-point looks. Why? KCP is jacking up shots and Neto is only looking to drive. Selfish players. Kispert should have at least five shots by now and four from 3pt.
Even Otto is making shots against us.
Also, the Zinger has wore off on me. So many threes and yes, I knew he was soft. Not sure he's a center. Against the Warriors he is and he should be camped in the paint against them scoring and forcing double teams. I still think we need another center next season. Not enamored with Gafford, esp. in the previous two games. Guys back him down too easily. It's not like he's going to become 6-10, 260 pounds overnight.

I don't get the Hachimura criticism. You do realize that he's shooting 3's because that's how the offense is set up? Hachimura only has 3 attempts in the half and he's 2/2 from 3. We've basically reduced him to Davis Bertans. His role offensively is to provide space so that Neto/Smith/Kuzma/KCP can be featured. In addition, the 3's that he took in the first half were wide open. If he would have driven, the defense would have been waiting for him. Maybe you meant to say that Hachimura should be more aggressive. But even then I'd point out that we only actually ran one play for Hachimura in the half. The baseline play when he matched up with Moody and drew a foul. If a players role is to stand at the 3-point line and shoot 3's, it's kind of unfair to criticize for doing precisely what is expected.
