GT #33: Wizards @ Jazz 9 PM (NBA TV/NBCSW/980 AM)

FAH1223 · Post #1 » by **FAH1223** » Wed Dec 21, 2022 5:45 am

YOUR Washington Bullets are 12-20!

They snapped the 10 game losing streak and broke the Suns 3-game streak on Tuesday night.

The battle for ping pong balls continues as the road trip continues at the site of this year's All-Star game, Salt Lake City!

The Jazz remain one of the NBA's bright surprises but have stumbled a bit over the last 15. They are still above .500 and in postseason position. They're coming off a win @ Detroit after losing in Cleveland in their first matchup with Donovan Mitchell since the blockbuster trade.

The Wizards defeated the Jazz in DC in what feels like months ago... but it was on November 12th. Porzingis dropped 31 and 10 and Kispert was perfect from the field playing in place of Bankroll (who was sidelined due to Covid).

Will the Wizards get another W? Or is a new losing streak starting? :clap:

It was weird how the Wizards rather easily handled Utah in their first outing. I just assumed that Utah wasn't really any good and that their early win streak was just a fluke. It turns out that Utah IS pretty good, so that was actually our best win of the season. Utah just didn't have an answer for Porzingis.

Normally, I'd be inclined to think that Utah is the type of team that would destroy us. Their ball movement and 3-point shooting really exploits our 25th ranked 3-point defense. But maybe Porzingis will just destroy their front line again. I love Vanderbilt, but he is too small to guard KP. They're starting Kessler now, who has been a real defensive force, but might be too inexperienced to deal with the wily Porzingis and all of his flopping tricks.

Extremely important game. A win streak now would be brutal and would cement Ted's delusion. Let's hope for a loss by 50.

Agreed. A bad loss is a MUST.

Package up Kuz with Tommy and get Danny Ainge in here. Ainge wins more in one year on accident than we have all last decade and Skinny Terd's been busting his azz for years trying to cobble together some wins to show how smart he is.

What's crazy is that they can't fire WesJr, because he's a legacy hire. They are refusing to trade the "Big Three :lol:

" and they're unable to trade a FRP. There are no quick fixes, and that's why I'm somewhat happy at what's going on. Ted has to eat the shxt sandwich right now.

This might be another win. Just saying...on paper the Gizzards have more talent.

And this is why you have to root against this team. Not just to lose. But to be humiliated. They need to lose by 20. By 30! They need to lose 10 more in a row. 20 more! Anything to beat some sense into Leonsis. I feel bad for the players, particularly the young promising ones like Avdija, Kispert and Goodwin, but this is the way it has to be. I'm rooting for you to lose badly.

Imagine thinking the smart option is to try and upgrade the roster around Beal. It boggles the mind.
