GT #40: Bullets @ Sonics 8 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) [1/6/23]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 17-22!

After winning 5 in a row, they dropped their 2nd game in Milwaukee to perennial MVP candidate Giannis and the Bucks.

On Friday, they head to Oklahoma to face the Sonics. Who will be coming off a game against the Magic. On Tuesday, they dropped 150 points on the Celtics... without SGA! :o :o :o

Bradley Beal is probably done for a while with his left hamstring soreness. He looked like he was in tears on Tuesday when he left the game.

Will the Bullets get pay back for SGA's game winner in DC back in November? Will Wes Unseld Jr. continue to utilize Monte Morris against the big guards of OKC? Will Kuzma jack up 25+ shots again and produce bad efficiency?!

The tank is getting warmed up!

Won’t happen but I’d love to see Vernon Carey Jr start if Gafford is out.

Gafford is fine ,took him long enough to become a big part of the rotation that we dont need him resting already when healthy.

OKC is a Jekyll and Hyde team, beating BOS and losing to ORL although
there were mitigating factors. No predictions from me except if Gaff is
out, we almost certainly lose.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

Looks like Wizards drove from Milwaukee to Chicago and flew out to OKC last night.

Morris has looked terrific on defense in the first few....

Man, Dort is a linebacker!

Anyone surprised that Kuz didn’t pass?

He has no consequences for bad play, I don't blame him at this point.

I'd insert Goodwin here. We need a spark, maybe he's the guy.

A little feature on Omoruyi -- any of you remember him in the Wizards' context? I do.

Then there's Kenrich Williams, who I think I've mentioned a couple of dozen times.... Undrafted in '18 & a very productive player.
