GT #22: Bullets @ Nets 7 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) 

Post#1 » by FAH1223 » Tue Nov 29, 2022 4:50 am

YOUR Washington Bullets are 11-10!

They got back in the W column behind a 41 point career high by the Unicorn!

On Wednesday night, the Bullets are in Brooklyn looking to get payback for the worst loss at home in franchise history a few weeks ago. Kevin Durant made Daniel Gafford into a slipping meme and the Nets got hot from 3 to win by 40+ points!

Will the Bullets suffer another embarrassing loss on the road? Or will they be able to turn the tide?

The Wizards will play 14 of their next 19 games on the road. We will now find out for sure whether they're the somewhat competent team that has playing above-.500 ball, for a quarter season, or are they just a crappy 32-win team that has benefitted from a weak schedule and injuries to opponents' stars.

Irving breaks Beal’s ankles, twice. Beal has better game. Durant gets Avdija in foul trouble early, but Gill contributes to horrible shooting night. 118-118 going into OT, then I lost power.

I will remember being so wrong saying I thought they would make the playoffs and maybe advance a round. Over the next 19 say they go 5-14, then they'll be 16-24 and well on the way to a 32-win season.

:noway:
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Why do I have Claxton is going to have like 10 offensive rebounds? I feel like bouncy, rebounding specialists give us trouble.

Kuzma is getting cooked by Durant thus far. Step too slow leading to too many good looks and open passes.

Some nice defensive plays by Gaff so far.

Somehow we are letting them off the hook offensively....

Honestly lucky to be down only 4. Nets missed a bunch of open looks. Our defense is trash.

Zero chance of winning this game playing against KD in his best form and the refs helping him out.

Beal in La La land tonight. Not sure why. He usually gets up for these types of games.

Our starting backcourt is constantly in no man's land on defense.

Jacque Vaughn running up and down the sidelines like a crazy man trying to get his team to defend. When Wuj gets mad, he changes from Juicy Fruit to Wrigley Spearmint.

Monte, you can take a slower big off the dribble, but you can't take a guard. The offense needs to go through KP. It helps get Beal better shots.

Vaughn seems like a good dude and coach, I like his fire.

Beal is just not locked in tonight and we're only down three. He's missed two FTs (the first of them), turns it over twice trying to overdribble. Yet, at least he's being aggressive. I also like the way he's defended Irving.

I cannot stand Beal's bum a$$. Can't believe we're stuck with him.
