YOUR Washington Bullets are 31-35!

They remain in 10th in the East, only a game up on the Bulls for the last spot in the Play-In Tournament!

They're also slotted at the 11th pick in the NBA Draft Lottery.

On Wednesday night, they lost another game in which they led by 15+ points. Porzingis had a career-high 43 points but the turnovers by Brad Beal, Kyle Kuzma, and Deni Avdija were tanktastic. Beal missed a FT and a layup in the final minutes. Gafford and Wright weren't good defensively. Wes Unseld Jr. once again left a bench unit out that saw the lead evaporate and refused to insert his stars (Beal and Porzingis) back into the game until they were down 6 points.

The ATL Hawks remain in the 8th spot. They have gone hot and they have gone cold. But it seems they are a matchup problem for the Bullets. I expect Trae Young to have a bigger night and Dejounte Murray to be better on Friday night.

This is a prime opportunity to move up in the lottery standings. Let's chase this L!

Man. At this stage, it's becoming so difficult to root for wins. We desperately need a talent infusion and the only way is to tank and play the lottery odds.

In any case, I'll watch the game...the masochist that I am :lol:

By the way, even an optimist such as this Brandon dude of Locked on Wizards had a good rant against this idiotic franchise in his latest episode. He echoed many of the sentiments regularly expressed here...

Brandon and Ed are completely bipolar. After every 2 win streak they act like we're contenders, and after every loss they come crashing back down to reality.

They're basically all aboard the Kuz train and have no problem paying him 25+ / yr.

bring to this team two players that know how to control a team instead of 'neighborhood' Beal and Kuz and it will be magical

Hi does Beal hijack so many possessions with 10+ seconds of idiotic dribbling???? Can’t someone in the coaching staff speak to him?

Would be nice to have a guy like Bogdanovic off the bench or even as a starter. Seems like every Kispert three tonight except the one he made were 3-4 feet behind the line.

Atlanta isn't exactly helping the tank. Interesting 3-guard lineup though with Morris, Wright and Beal. At least it's different.
