GT #74: Warriors @ Bullets 6 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) 

Post#1 » by FAH1223 » Sun Mar 27, 2022 2:02 pm

YOUR Washington Bullets are 31-42 and coming off a TANK BREAK with their win over the Pistons on Friday night!

TONIGHT, the struggling Golden State Warriors threaten the tank. GSW is only 7-13 in their last 20 games. Curry got injured by Marcus Smart in a game against the Celtics less than two weeks ago and he's out until the postseason. Steve Kerr has seen his club drop to the 3rd seed and he's trying to find the right mix before the season ends. James Wiseman, who may have given them legit size in a hypothetical matchup with the Suns, has been ruled out for the year.

With all that said, coming to DC will be a "get right" night for the Warriors. Their shooting will get hot and we'll see a win by about 12.

Hopefully Deni can string together another good game and maybe we stop playing the veterans games by minutes.

Amazing how having a 6 ft 7 in PG can improve your defense..

We need Neto and Bryant in during the second half to help the tank. Why is Gill playing? He's not the future. He's playing too well. Need Todd or somebody else to play the backup 4 spot.

Kispert starting to look like the guy we hoped he'd be when we drafted him.

We're up 61-47. I'm going to enjoy it as long as it lasts, so to speak. 16 assists to 1 turnover. Kispert... holy spit. Please keep it up. I owe an apology to Gil. He's been playing terrific basketball for a long time and no longer seems to have that big fouling problem. Hope I didn't jinx him.

Deni and Zinger are spending too much time whining to the refs. I can understand if the refs obviously blew calls, but they haven't been wronged, quite frankly. That's a bad look, and they need to grow up.

Warriors cut lead to 8 at half.

The tank being revved up in the 3rd quarter!

Sato was a half step too slow from making good defensive plays twice in a row. Sigh.

Zinger getting really sloppy, but his teammates are doing a poor job of bailing him out - they need to get open for him.

KCP's by far the Wiz best defender this game.

I've said all year that Gill should get some playing time. Not now that we should be tanking but he's just a solid player that rarely takes bad shots, rebounds decently and doesn't embarrass you on D. I get the fact that Kuz and Rui are going to get most of the minutes at the 4. Or all. Just like his game and his IQ.

Deni has to stop crying after every call against him. Porzingis does, but at least he's a vet and now that's he a Wiz, he'll have to get used to not getting the calls.

As I say that, he hits a big 3. Confidence is everything with young players. :)

Nice finish to the 3rd quarter. 3 pointers from opposite corners from Deni. When Ish looks to pass, he's a fine PG. When he looks to shoot... nooooo. He's gotta understand that he's a bad shooter when he's not open. It's pretty obvious he should be looking to set up his teammates, and when he does - the team is better. Before getting those 2 assists to Deni, Ish missed 3 straight jumpers in a very short period of time. Ish... what's the lesson?

Perfect D by Deni on Draymond in transition, and Draymond throws a hissy fit. Big swing by the Wiz because of that. Draymond simply cannot jump, lol.

Kispert has been great. No Kuzma. Porzingis has been bad. How are we winning by DD?

What the hell is wrong with this coach why KCP on the floor 4:00 to the end of the game and Deni got benched? How is this helping you tanking? :banghead: Just play both Deni Kispert and Rui! They need to start and finish every game till the end of this season and all those Ish's Smiths and KCPs need to join Neto on the bench.
