GT #20: Bullets @ Celtics 6 PM (NBCSW/980 AM)

[Jimmy Recard]

The losses to the Celtics particularly hurt because they don’t just beat us, they crush us and take our soul. Every time. All while our “franchise player” laughs and jokes with their players and their snooty announcers sit there and mock us all game.

The way into WUJ doghouse is fouling. Deni and Gafford both in top 20 in fouls per 100 possessions.

If it was transition defense that fired Wes up Beal would be benched, Brad might be worst non rookie in the league at that.

[9 and 20]

This game was kinda sad tbh. You could see Beal holding back tears, wiping them away with 100 dollar bills, thinking about what could have been with Boston.

84 years old Horford clowning Porzingis just hurt to watch.

The difference between the two teams could not be more stark.
BOS as a team and as individual players know how to create situational advantages
and are skilled enough to capitalize on them. We keep making the same mistakes
time and time again. We do a poor job of creating advantages and an equally poor
job capitalizing on those advantages. It really hurts to watch. Our announcers would
be a lot less annoying if they were not pretending otherwise. I was particularly struck
by CM grasping at straws describing BB over-dribbling, losing the ball and then praising
him for hustling trying to get it back. McPeak's halftime questions to the asst coach
were inane and irrelevant to why we were getting our @sses kicked. Drew in the 3rdQ
pretended that our defense was somehow better than the 70+ point first half would
demonstrate when in fact they gave up more in the 3rd than they had in the first 2Qs.
Sad.

All of this is the true reflection of Turd’s idiocy.

I've just seen the 4th. Brad's Hero ball was very ineffective. You could see one team, moving the ball well, against one player. That way other players can't get into the game. Old traits. And the quality of the shots? Horrible. Off the dribble, 1o1, contested. Mid-ranges.

I only saw some of the first half before tuning out. It just seemed like the Wizards weren't converting their open 3 point shots- Deni was 2-6, Beal 0-3, Corey Kispert 1-3, Porzingis only took 1 3 pointer and missed it, Will Barton 0-4. Monte Morris was 4-5 but overall as a team the Wizards shot 25% from 3.

Contrast to Boston who shot 47% from 3 point range and took more attempts.

I'm surprised Beal ended up with 30 points - because he didn't look too sharp in the 1st half.
