GT #71: Bullets @ Rockets 8 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) [3/21/22]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 30-40 and coming off one of their best (and worst!) wins of the season.

After losing 6 in a row, the losing streak came to an end as the LA Lakers couldn't defend the size of Porzingis and the Wizards PGs creating in the paint for KP and Gafford. Avdija had perhaps his best game as pro too which prompted Russell Westbrook telling him he better play like that every game or he'd find him and kill him.

The Bullets face the young Rockets on Monday night. It's the first meeting since Kevin Porter Jr's buzzer beater in DC over, who else? Raul Neto. And the controversy with Glenn Consor's call of that shot on NBC Sports Washington put the internet in a frenzy.

Houston is coming off a dominating L to the Grizzlies and will be on a back to back.

Will the Bullets be able to tank? You betcha! Look for Wes Unseld Jr. to use Neto at the end of games to get cooked by Green or Porter in crunch time. We can't be using Satoransky in late game situations. He actually plays defense.

I'm confident we'll get back in the L column!

I would have left Rui in, he was making all buckets on all kinds of looks. Great ball movement though, only bad shots coming from the usual suspects in KCP, Neto, and Ish.

Anybody hear Brad on the pregame? He basically said it doesn't matter if they get the play-in. They just need to play more consistently. I guess we don't miss Kuzma again tonight.

Wow the young bucks looks awesome tonight. Deni looks super confident out there on offense. His floor game has been sick thus far.

Smoking hot tonite…wow

Honestly, I’d trade Kuzma in the off season for guard help, and would not think twice. For example, a sign and trade for Brunson would be grand.

So we're ready to depend on Rui to be the starter next season after he didn't play the first part of the season due "unspecified (probably burned out)" reasons? I'm not. I don't think you can do a sign and trade with Brunson, who is going to make a lot more than what Kuzma is making. I'm not opposed to trading Kuzma, but not sure Rui is the guy at the 4.

Kuzma should be traded if for anything else he takes away minutes from Deni and Rui. But overall, just not in love with his game as he far too often falls in love with the jumper and it's his driving game that makes him potentially special. Based on his comments and what I've seen too from games, he seems more interested in getting a pretty stat line at times too.

We have both Rui and Deni at the 4…which I think is more than enough. Meanwhile, we are lacking a true PG big time. So yes, I think Kuzma is expendable. And by the way, Kuzma is likely to be asking for a similar fare to Brunson after next year. No way he is resigning for $13mn/year.

Neto and KCP have their eye on the tank.

Nothing like putting Neto back in and watching Houston go on a 15-3 run.

Neto is such a freaking liability. For the thousand time, I don’t understand why he has to play significant minutes every game :banghead:
