GT #18: Bullets @ Bucks 8 PM (MonSportsNet/980 AM)

[FAH1223]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 2-15!

Tank continues!

Tonight they face the surging Milwaukee Bucks who have reached the .500 mark after a 2-8 start. Giannis remains dominant. Lillard looks like he's in great shape. Lopez is also defying father time and Middleton is close to his return. Things are looking up for Milwaukee atleast until Doc Rivers blows a 3-1 series lead in April/May.

Projected Lineups :











Bench:

[BearlyBallin]

Marvin Bagley starting the second quarter

Bucks getting out rebounded lol

[BearlyBallin]

Dame is so good at the end of halves and games. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen him miss one of those shots to end a half or game.

Wizards with 10 more points in the paint too.

[miller31time]

Not what I’d call a great first half for our rooks (+ Bilal).

[BearlyBallin]

Rookies more involved on the offensive end in the 3rd quarter

[WallStar]

Poole needs to cut down on boneheaded mistakes. He stepped out of bounds twice on separate occasions during crucial moments.

[smoothSeph]

It's not fun anymore, we officially suck. Bilal has gone back to playing without confidence, the rookies have taken a step back with some tape on them.

When the vets get moved it's going to be hard for us to score. They are the entire offense.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Bilal, Sarr, George, Carrington combine for:

106 minutes (26.5 min average), 17 points (7-27 FG, 2-14 3pt FG), 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals, 1 block.

Just in case you need reminding, those are numbers for four players.

[Jay81]

Does Sarr have more 3s than 2s this year?

[Jay81]

Brogdon would be a nice fit for Milwaukee

[tontoz]

I think I'll pass on watching this game. Young guys really struggled.

[doclinkin]

Brogdon would be a nice fit for Milwaukee

LOL the Bucks don't control any of their own picks until 2031.

[dobrojim]

They kept the game close for a long time but it was mostly the vets that carried
the load as cntoutsmrtcrzy pointed out.

…which is why I don’t mind having Poole around. Yes, some selfish, out-of-control plays, but there are times when Poole is the only Zard even remotely capable of creating his own shot.

I agree. Watching him, Brogdon and J Val rotate being the only scoring options vs a good defense reminded me how necessary it is to have actual pros on the court. And that’s not a slight to the young guys they’ll get there, but none of them should be expected to be primary facilitators at this point in their careers.
