GT #66: Hawks @ Wizards 7:00 PM 03/08 (NBCSW/980 AM)

Kanyewest · Post #1 » by **Kanyewest** » Wed Mar 8, 2023 7:17 am

The Wizards have their 4th game in 5 days against another play-in contender, the Atlanta Hawks. The Wizards still remain the 10th seed if the regular season ended today while the Hawks would be the 8th seed. By winning the game against the Pistons, the Wizards managed to avoid embarrassment but also ping pong balls as now the Wizards would finish with the 10th best lottery odds and only a 13% chance at a top 4 pick.

Questions to ask
- Will Bradley Beal have another 30+ point game? He did it last night against the Pistons and managed to have a season high against the Hawks.
- Will Trae Young rebound from his poor performance in the 4th against Washington. In his last game he only made 1-8 from the $th quarter
- How many Hawks will score in double figures? In the last game, 7 players did.

Here are the highlights from the last game against Atlanta

I would like to think they learned a lesson from last night's performance and come out with purpose for this game, but not counting on it.

With that said, they could make us forget a lot about last night with a good performance tonight. A win and a TOR loss @ LAC puts us into the 8th seed, so fairly important game if the goal is to make the playoffs. Also guarantees us that ATL can't win tie-breaker over us on the head-to-head matchup.

I don't know. But he sometimes oscillates back and forth between heavy posting and disappearing for a while.

It's a key game? I'm sensing a loss

Glad you asked Fluffy, was thinking the same.

I asked PIF last week and he said that he texted him. Don't know if he's heard back.

How can we not expect a blow-out after the egg we laid last night...

I think this team plays to the level of their comp. They can look bad against Detroit and beat Atlanta in the same week. It's been this team's MO for lord knows how long....

No answer to me by text. Sending positive energy to the big fella.

He's pretty active on twitter but hasn't tweeted since 1/25/23. Hopefully he's just enjoying the beaches.

In pink again tonight. That’s a problem. The Wiz should know better by now.

Anyone watching this ****?

What’s you expectation level? Seems like a typical Wiz game to me. Hang on for a nail bitter and a mediocre performance.

Kuzma is such a clown…another idiotic turnover

CntOutSmrtCrazy · Post #18 » by **CntOutSmrtCrazy** » Thu Mar 9, 2023 1:08 am

The turnovers with this team are getting out of hand, from top to bottom. Just a nonstop drip of sloppy, unforced turnovers.

That's a sign of poor coaching anyway you cut it.

CntOutSmrtCrazy · Post #19 » by **CntOutSmrtCrazy** » Thu Mar 9, 2023 1:29 am

Well they've come out the half playing some really solid ball, cutting down on turnovers, hustling on defense.

And here come the turnovers...
