GT #80: Bullets @ Timberwolves 8 PM (MSN/980 AM)
YOUR Washington Bullets are 15-64!
The season is almost over and as we get the final week of the regular season in gear, the tank for next year is already getting rolling!
Tristan Vukcevic has shown he can play in the NBA. Jordan Poole seems to be 'ok' at PG and Deni Avdija is playing efficient ball.
So that's all I got with bright spots as of late.
The T-Wolves are having their best season since 2003-2004 which was Kevin Garnett's MVP year. They look prime to make a deep postseason run even without Karl Anthony-Towns. Can they beat Denver? Doubt it. But they do have size which will be important in April-May basketball.

Omoruyi just lacks any discernable skill other than throwing his body around, don't see what some of you see with him.

Deni still needs to learn not to whine so much and have that whining take him out of plays. Even when he's right about something, it's harmful.

Poole 16 points in first half?

Nice to see Kispert hitting some 3s the last two games.

Minnesota has the best defense in the league and we just dropped 70 on them in the first half

Anyone watching the alternate broadcast with Jason Smith and Phil Chenier?

I will be now that I know about it. Thanks for the heads up.

Have they ever scored 70 points in the first half ?

I know the Wizards are bad, but I appreciate rooting for a team where, when they are doing well, they usually aren't flexing and screaming and carrying on.

These Minnesota fans are pathetic…take it easy tigers you are playing a tanking G league squad given the many injuries…

It's always amazing watching the commentators ao biased. The challenge taken by Minosota was so poor and yet they can't see a clear foul.
On the other hand, I want to enjoy watching a game, but then there's Poole. He is so bad

Does Edwards always showboat so much when he does well?

Funniest moments were when Avdija was playing C against Gobert in the paint.

Pretty good effort being so short handed against a team fighting for the top seed.
Once again Poole had a potentially good game marred by poor shot selection. He acts like he can shoot 3s like Steph and finish inside like Kyrie. He isn't going to be useful unless he can accept his limitations.

This. And for that we need a head coach with big “cojones”…not sure Keefe is the one to do so…

Didn't watch the game, just checked the box score. Our three front court starters all took 11 shots and scored 15 points with reasonable assist totals. Nice to see PJB actually have a decent stat line.
Giving up 51 points to Anthony Edwards isn't good but the final score was reasonably close against a team that has contended all year.
