GT #10: Bullets @ Grizzlies 6 PM (NBCSW/980 AM)

YOUR Washington Bullets are 4-5!

Another Friday night, another embarassing loss occured at the hands of the in-chaos Nets! The Bullets suffered THE WORST HOME LOSS in FRANCHISE HISTORY! That largely came as a result of, what else? A terrible defensive game plan by Wes Unseld Jr. and a roster full of players who have no idea how to perform a defensive rotation.

Offensively, it was just as bad. Can't hit shots, can't get a guard in the paint, can't take care of the rock.

The fanbase online is already calling for Wes Unseld Jr. to be gone. Of course, its just a symptom of the larger issue which is the front office as we all know and Ted's bad philosophy.

On Sunday, they face the 6-3 Grizzlies who are a wonderful case study of what happens when you hire a great GM. In 2019, they, like your Bullets, hired 31-year old Zach Kleiman from within the organization. Unlike Tommy Sheppard, Zach Kleiman traded Mike Conley, loaded up on draft picks, freed up cap space, and has proceeded to draft fantastically well. A fortune lotto bounce in 2019 netted Ja Morant but they've been able to hit on pick after pick in the 1st round, in the 2nd round, and even picking up talented undrafted pieces!!

The Grizz are not the same team defensively without Jaren Jackson. Nevertheless, Ja and Desmond Bane have been fantastic carrying the offensive load.

With Wes Unseld Jr looking like a coach with no clue, Taylor Jenkins will no doubt have a gameplan to outcoach and outclass him tonight!

The 2nd unit is better than the 1st unit ......if coached by someone other than WUJ

Could be ugly for Morris and Barton going against Morant and Bane ....... but luckily we have Anthony Gill in there to help out.

This will be a difficult game to say the least. But, there are no unwinnable games, so let's go get these guys.
(Even though, next to the Wizards, Memphis is the team I like best in the league...)

Good to see Kispert and Deni getting the start. Deni on Ja early on will need help.

Who is this team? No Beal. That's why. No lax attitudes.

Not complaining about the salary. It's too late for that. It's the lack of passion for the game and winning. I always said he's all about stats and All-Star games. Now, there are no more excuses. This is a hungry team. The still might get their but kicked because of not a lot of depth, but I love the start.

Looking good so far. If we continue to outscore them, we should win this game.

What dream? I don't care if they lose. I just want to see effort and passion. It's interesting that you see that when No. 3 is sitting.

That’s a very obscure analytic to throw out there without any context.

Wes has had enough of Gafford already, putting Gibson in. Enough of giving up easy dunks and layups in the paint. WTF happened to that dude?

It’s unfortunate we weren’t in position to draft Clarke, Bane, or LaRavia.

Taylor Jenkins, " Hey, WUJ, you need these timeouts more than I do, how about I just give you one, see if you can get your guys together enough to give mine a decent run-out?"

And he keeps with his weird rotations. Last game Gil opened with the lineup, tonight he even hasn't dressed up.

You can talk about Wes Jr.'s defensive coaching and rotations but it's not his fault we can't make three-pointers. That's on the players and Tommy.
