GT #18: Wizards @ HEAT 7:30 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) [11/23/22]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 10-7!

After going 5-1 on their six game home stand, the squad is 3 games above .500 as they head onto a stretch where they play 13 of their next 17 on the road.

If you all recall, this stretch destroyed the Bullets season last season as December struggles brought down the team back to earth.

On Wednesday, they will begin a two-game set in South Beach against the Miami HEAT.

Who suits up for the HEAT is anyone's guess at this point. But Spoelstra will have a great game plan to slow down the Bullets as he did last Friday night as Miami nearly got the win with Lowry and 6 bench players.

Will the Bullets keep the good times rolling or will Wes Unseld Jr. get outcoached once again?!

He had COVID. It happens.

Then Plumlee’s big ass knee hit his thigh driving to the bucket.

That definitely will leave a mark.

Can’t blame him or the team if he’s sitting out. Shid happens.

This looks more daunting with the injury update but the 6ers just beat BRK
with no Embiid, Harden or Maxey, their 3 best players.

Looks like Goodwin is going to play big minutes. And Avdija and Kuzma will probably play some PG. I'm intrigued by an ultra big lineup, but we are running out of spare forwards to fill out the depth if Avdija and/or Kuzma are at guard. We basically have just Goodwin, Barton, Kispert, Avdija and Kuzma as regular rotation guys to man the 4 non-center positions. Other minutes will have to go to end-of-bench guys like Gill and Davis.

Hopefully, Wes got a good look at the film on Miami's zone defense and is better prepared to attack it tonight.

Beal out? Said he was a partial participant in shoot around, but screams like a day before Thanksgiving sit out by Mr. Max.

The Wizards are probably going to stumble into yet another win and the Post will fawn all over the streaking Wizards having one of their best starts in recent history, but we all know the truth.

The Wizards suck.

Look on the brightside, it'll be fun to once again post screenshots of those articles with the under .500 record they'll have at All Star break once again :P

Brad has missed 5 of our 17 games.
OTOH, even so, he is 3d on the team in minutes.

Herro in, Butler, Strus out. Bam back too, so should bbe interesting to see the Zinger-Bam matchup as well as Deni on Herro (I'd assume he get's the assignment but Goodwin may see him a lot as well).

The defense has looked really good at time, then other times Kuzma loses focus.
