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!
