GT #73: Nuggets @ Wizards 7 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) 

Post#1 » by FAH1223 » Wed Mar 22, 2023 9:53 pm

YOUR Washington Bullets are 32-40!

They're 3.5 games back of the Play-In Tournament and it looks like they're waving the white flag with 10 games left to play!

Brad Beal is OUT tonight with left knee soreness. Kyle Kuzma is also out.

The Nuggets are in town, led by reigning 2x MVP Nikola Jokic. They have hit a rough patch as of late and the narrative from the ilks of Kendrick Perkins and Draymond Green have poisoned the MVP debate by pushing Joel Embiid's candidacy and discounting the Joker.

Nevertheless, the Nuggets remain the #1 seed in the West with an inside track to the Conference Finals for the first time since the Orlando Bubble in 2020.

Anyway, enjoy the tank ya'll!

Well, I'll be damned: two of the "Big Three" out with injury and suddenly everyone on the court is at least trying to play defense. I don't think they'll win, but it's a lot more fun to watch.

Monte Morris has decided to captain the tank: 2 horrific offensive possessions in a row…

Not watching. So the Wiz have any snowball’s chance to win?

Someone in the coaching staff has to categorically tell Deni that he is NOT allowed to pass the ball when he is less than 10 feet from the rim. He can only shoot it!!!! So frustrating :banghead:

Those wheels fell off quick. :lol:

PERFECT tank loss. Competitive first half, get Deni some confidence and then tank.

Dear Deni Avdija: when your close-quarters passes get stolen multiple times in a row, it's time to try a different strategy. Sincerely, The Wizards Fanbase

Heh, now it's entertaining again. At least Davis can hit layups, even if his 3-point, free throw, and jump shot abilities are still suspect.

Porzingis going to shut himself down soon, he should not risk a thing at this point.

The Pacers won..woo ho! So, back to 12th place in the East again. With Baghdad Bob (aka Chris Miller) already admitting defeat, it’s time to shut down the mediocre 3 and just play the youngins.

Return to Washington Wizards
