YOUR Washington Bullets are 32-37!

They got a win against a tanking Pistons squad by default at Capital One Arena.

On Friday, the first leg of a back to back comes upon them. They'll be in Cleveland playing one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. The Cavs are fighting to get homecourt in the 1st round of the playoffs. Jarrett Allen is the only Cav on the injury report with an eye injury.

The tank comes back this game as the Bullets need to shore up that lotto positioning!!

Gonna get killed. Although no Allen helps us a lot.

So the Pacers unexpectedly won against the Bucks and Toronto also won (vs Thunder). Ideal opportunity to lose the next two games (Cavs and Kings) to drop us to the 12th seed in the East.

This has drubbing written all over it. We stink on Fridays and are going to go on the road against a team that is methodical, disciplined, and defensive oriented. I really like the mentality Bickerstaff has imparted on that team, he's been really good for them.

As others have pointed to, excellent tanking game. I only hope that the young dudes play alright.

Two questions that I swear aren't meant snarkily:

1. What are the chances we see more First Half Johnny Davis minutes?

2. Does anyone know if Xavier Cooks is available for this game? Or when he will be?

I can't imagine he's available.... his jet lag is probably crazy

Cavs are a perfect foil to the Wizards.

They play a team brand of basketball and with effort and discipline, just the complete opposite of what this team does. First couple minutes really hit this home in the difference between these two teams. We are just a sloppy, undisciplined, wannabe-star oriented team.

Kuzma has been laughably bad.

They're...they're...they're going to give Kuzma money? They might as well light a cash bonfire.

The speed and athleticism of the Cavs are a stark contrast to Tommy's wannabe 90's Spurs aspirations.

On a total side note, Austin Carr is one of the 2 or 3 most aggravating color commentators in the NBA.

I would take Drew Gooden every day and twice on Sundays over listening to 10 more seconds of Austin Carr.

Starter - Gafford + Kispert getting humiliated out there. 13 TOs from the starters, would have been 14 had stat keeper not given Kuzma a shot on one of them.

Wow, only 15 threads. Didn’t watch the game and don’t know the outcome but I am guessing the Wiz played like the Wiz and lost.

I watched a bit but quickly tuned out to watch the tourney. Just saw them getting getting pummeled and changed the channel.

And to think I was worried that they might not have cap space to sign both Porzingas and Kuzma...

Maybe just maybe there is a small chance Turd sees the light: fires Tommy, Wes, convinces Beal to ask for a trade and we finally have a chance to rebuild properly…

…and then I woke up from my dream and nothing changes :lol:
