GT #15: SuperSonics @ Bullets 7 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) [11/16/22]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 8-6!

On a 4-game winning streak, the homestand continues against the Sonics.

SGA has been on a tear and on many nights so far has been the best player on the court. Sam Presti has assembled a roster with loads of draft picks and these guys may have to sit players to tank later in the season if they so chose.

Bradley Beal has a chance to return for this matchup as he gets back into game shape.

Recently the Thunder have been playing well. They beat Toronto by 19 points. OKC put together back to back 43 point quarters against the Knicks. While it isn't a back to back- by the time the Thunder play the Wizards, it will be their 3rd game in 4 nights.

Thunder have been scoring at will, nearly beat Boston last night.

SGA has been a problem.

The dude is averaging 31 points per game on a .633 TS% while also throwing in 6 assists. He's also tacking on 2 steals and 1.5 blocks. His numbers look like prime D-Wade. Oddly, he is doing it without the 3-ball (just 1.1 3P's made per game) and he isn't really living at the FT line either. 7.5 FTA's is respectable, but it's not Giannis/Luka/Tatum/Embiid territory.

Looks like we're going to need Avdija and Goodwin to D up.

One thing I like about the matchup is that the strength of their defense is Dort at the point of attack, but we run most of our offense through our frontcourt. Dort is too small to guard Kuzma or Rui.

scary talented team. They will not be beaten easily I don't think.

Yeah, even without Holmgren their going to give a lot of team heartburn this year as long as SGA is in the fold.

Enough about the Wizards. Do you have any comments on OKC.

Looking at the comments, I dare you to find a positive one about Beal’s return :lol:

That reads more like extreme sarcasm to me. Plus a reference to the infamous Ted/MLK double bottom line life photoshoot.

I guess no only because it has to have a quote and be black and white

Ouch! Pretty harsh.

I wonder if Ted is aware of fan sentiment on this issue.

Is Beal basically modern day Juwan Howard?

AFM · Post #14 » by **AFM** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 9:30 pm

Would be brutal if we go back to a losing streak with Beal back in

Jimmy Recard · Post #15 » by **Jimmy Recard** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 10:10 pm

Must win game! I have no idea who we’re supposed to hide Monte on this game, their starting PG is 6’9 :lol:

Let’s go wiz!

Jimmy Recard · Post #16 » by **Jimmy Recard** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 10:15 pm

In regards to the Beal hate…I think a lot of it is coming from the new international wiz fans, specifically the Deni and Rui fans who wanna see their guys succeed and think that Beal is holding them back, especially with the success over the last 4 games.

If we lose tonight and Beal plays poorly it’s gonna get ugly on twitter.

Fans are treating Beal like he is. Maybe because Beal wasn't himself last season.

Still this season Beal is averaging 21.6 ppg with a 61 TS%, 6 assists per game, and 5 rebounds per game in 36 minutes.

Juwan Howard in his all star season- 22 ppg, 8 rebounds per game, 4.4 assists per game in 40 minutes per game with a 53 TS%

Megan Mcpeak with a new look on the pregame show. She always looks good.

She’s calling for a big game from Will the Thrill.

I still wish she & CWS was the broadcast team.

Very nice start, Beal looks great. Fresh legs. Deni with a great block. KP should be posting up most of the night.

YOUR WINNER...
