GT #39: Bullets @ Bucks 8 PM (NBA TV/NBCSW/980 AM) [1/3/23]

[FAH1223]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 17-21!

They've won 5 in a row. Pretty crazy. The tank has stalled. And due to other teams having injury and/or suspensions, plus Wes Unseld Jr. not playing the likes of Will Barton, its been a challenge to get Ls.

The Bucks were without Giannis, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton on Sunday. Who knows which or if any of them suit up on Tuesday night. But I think one of them will.

So, who wins the rematch?

Oh god we're going to make the play in arent we.

[montestewart]

Oh god we're going to make the play in arent we.

Is the league offering incentives for teams to rest their best players when they play the Wizards? Will they be the worst 44 - 38 team in history?

[AFM]

They need to put some respeck on our name. The word is out. We WILL beat you if you rest your 5 best players. Do NOT f*ck with us.

My heart says Wiz 136-97. My head says the same. Also my gut.

Despite all that, I kinda think Giannis comes back and drops 50 on us in a rout.

[JWizmentality]

Can someone make me a picture of Rui in a 1944 Yokosuka with the words "Your Tank" painted on the side?

Too on the nose?...

Beal’s coming back and we’re gonna get SMASHED.

#SoWizards

Vain, selfish, attention-seeking plus a nepotism hire coach is what TRULY FEEL. Now do I know? Of course not.

What I hope happens is the hamstrings stay rested and healing. Stick with the hot rotation ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE REAL BUCKS so we can see if the recent win streak is sustaining. What should happen is RESPECT ON THE GUYS GETTING IT DONE and not some smug, star, petulant, status quo.

I am not mad at anyone. I just expect what I’ve seen so far.

Beal will come back the same way Wall did right in the middle of Everybody Eats. The Czech PG was balling too well. The Wizards were generating over 30 assists but Scott Brooks was oh too happy to have his star back. Gortat was right all along but Wall was The Man. Right now? Ted Leonsis awards a ridiculous contract and Beal is the only guy in the NBA with a no trade clause.

Wes Jr will cave. Beal will play. Wizards will lose. That’s what I foresee ATM.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Or not.



Happy New Year, Day 3 2023!

Ill be watching for more PG) Wright SG) Avidja SF) Kuzma PF) Hachimura C) Porzingis playing minutes together . Theyve been really good together.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Beal will be playing.



When they lose BADLY if you care to do read my tiny font post above.

NBA TV pregame show just pointed out the Wizards have won 5 after losing 10 & called the Wizards a Bipolar team, WTF

Then the host says, “but first let’s talk about the Bucks.” After 15 minutes of video on the Bucks they go back to the hosts who say, and the Wizards have been good lately.

Just before a commercial and then discussing Donovan Mitchell, Luka, Joker…

Is it just me being sensitive? Or is it ok that this pissed me off?

If the Wiz win this, then they'll earn some respect. Last game was against a G League quality team.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Bucks 125 Wizards 103

That’s what I predict

The announcers are just as dumb as Wes Jr.

I’m a fan of the sport but the people who are employed by ESPN and TNT and NBATV are blessed to have played the game and know THEIR HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE as well as the cliques.

Bipolar team was OFFENSIVE to anyone with that diagnosis but CONSIDERING THE SOURCE(s) is par for them.

They get paid.

They don’t know any more as knowing fans. Actually, they know LESS about the Wizards.

F them

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

I knew Beal would come back for this game!

Dammit

Oh boy incoming L. Beal having to prove he's the top dog.

What do you expect? The Wizards have been irrelevant for literally 40 years. And they're irrelevant now.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Has Porzingis shot the ball yet?
