GT #78: Bullets @ Celtics 1 PM (NBCSW/980 AM)

[FAH1223]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 34-43 and have won 4 out of their last 5.

The tank has hit a hole but I think it'll get up and moving on Sunday afternoon with a visit to Boston!

The Celtics have played arguably the best basketball in the NBA outside of Phoenix over the last 2 months. Their defense is elite and after a shaky start under rookie HC Ime Udoka, they've found an offensive rhythm led by Tatum and Brown.

The 'Time Lord' Robert Williams is out until the 2nd round of the postseason with surgery on his torn meniscus. But with veterans Al Horford and Daniel Theis, the Cs will be able to survive the rest of the regular season and into the postseason.

The Bullets stand no chance of winning this one and that's a good thing! Let's get this L!

No ball movement. Boston hustles their asses off, so credit to them.

Going to be a long game. When Boston is knocking their threes, they're elite.

The NBA refs are a joke and someone has to do something about it..2 out of 3 Deni's so called fouls were nothing. you cant play basketball like that.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Porzingis yikes today.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

The starters realized it was time to get back to tanking.

[FAH1223]

Bullets offense got going in 2nd

Luckily the Celtics are getting anything they want. The tank is secured.

It was funny seeing Tatum complain about his foul on Porzingis when he got the exact same call on the other end. Nice that Zingis is still drawing Star calls!

This is the kind of game where Hachimura should show up. He hasn’t….yet.

Because they're run running every play for Porzingis and KCP. This is when a coach should say, we are out of it, let's start incorporating the young guys into a lot of the plays. Put them out of their comfort zone, and let them learn. But no we're still running through players that we know what they're going to give us.

Rui took 4 bad shots to start the game, so I won't excuse him for that, but do something different.

Porzingis is still jacking up shots that aren't going down.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Get Porzingis out man. He is playing in a meaningless game, has had the offense run through him all day, and has stunk. Sometimes it's just not your day. I could see if he was being a decoy but he's been forcing bad shots all game.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Wes is so stubborn, continues to play the starters the whole third despite getting punked.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Lol he brings in Gill and takes Deni out a minute after he scored and put him in. What the hell is wrong with Unseld?

[nir2610]

why did he replace Deni????

This is where they need Plan B utilizing the same players on the floor. Change the focal point from Porzingis to Avdija or someone else, and do something different, instead of running the same reads.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Deni only dude out there playing defense on our side.

[Frichuela]

Getting punked so hard…embarrassing

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

20-2 in the fourth.

Might lose by 50.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Boston's White, Pritchard, and White a combined 10-11 from 3 and we have 6 from our whole team. If you add Brown, those 4 are a combined 14-16.

[WallStar]

Never want to see the team get spanked this hard, even when you're pro tanking.
