GT #47: Bullets @ Mavs 8 PM (NBCSW/980 AM)

YOUR Washington Bullets are 20-26!

After blowing out the Magic behind now TRADED Rui Hachimura's 30 points, the Bullets travel to Big D for the first of a rodeo swing in Texas + NOLA + DET.

On Tuesday night, the Mavericks who have struggled as of late are coming off an L against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers. Luka seems to be wearing down and his supporting cast continues to be inconsistent.

Dallas lost the first meeting in November in DC. Kuz had a wild game.

Porzingis is out for his first game in Dallas since last February's trade.

I'd expect this to be a sure L!

Our schedule before the deadline:

@ Dallas
@ Houston
@ New Orleans
@ San Antonio
@ Detroit
vs Portland
@ Brooklyn
vs Cleveland
vs Charlotte

A humiliating losing streak would really do wonders to get this franchise to double check its thinking. With Porzingis out with injury, Rui out the door(no hope of 20/30 points off the bench for a game or two), and a bunch of road games or games against good teams, maybe the stars align for us.

We really, really need to at least go no better than 3-6 over this stretch.

Would it lead to ownership changes that brings a owner that is driven to win a championship? If not…

Someone get Beal a shoe engineer that can develop a shoe were he doesn't fall down on 5 times a game. It's absurd he hasn't learned to maybe hedge on some of these moves of his.

Excellent, entertaining, well-played first quarter.

I enjoyed watching it. So far so good post-Rui, sans KP.

Are we never going to see Vernon Carey play?

Will Barton is not in tank commander form today.

Dude needs a heat check.

Not unless someone in the crowd throws a wrench that Taj can’t dodge. Gibson keeps getting up after getting blown by or dunked on and falling down.

WUJ boy. He loves Taj and I’m sure he cannot tell you much about Vernon Carey Jr.

This Mav's color commentator guy is really annoying. He is so condescending about every Wizards' player, when the game has basically been break-even (with the Wizards playing on the road). If everybody on our team sucks so bad, why can't Dallas put the game away?

Yeah Mavs have an annoying crew, a bit arrogant.

Very solid end of the half. Good Deni is on tonite. Good performance so far!

For once I decide to listen to the DC coverage on League Pass. Glad I did.

Tommy Sheppard spoke at length in a very relaxed manner. Chris Miller and Drew Gooden haven’t been yakking it up and annoying like I usually perceive them to do.

Excellent game so far.

Nate, I bet Dallas announcers are bitching about officiating because they thought this should be an easy night for the Mavs.

If anything this is a BETTER WIZARDS TEAM for this particular opponent. Perimeter defense and foot movement and ball movements have been on point.

Gafford worked his tail off, smartly for a change.

YOUR WINNER..
