GT #82: Bullets @ HEAT 1 PM (MonSportsNet/980 AM) - REGULAR SEASON FINALE

FAH1223 · Post #1 » by **FAH1223** » Sat Apr 12, 2025 5:05 pm

YOUR Washington Bullets are 17-64!

Team photo done. Season nearly done.

They are locked into a bottom-2 record and their 2025 pick will land in the top 6 no matter what!

Sunday is our last chance at watching the young guys until 90 days from now when most of them will be in Vegas for Summer League. And 90 days after that we'll be in our 2025-26 season.

Miami is in the Play-In Tournament once again. This might be their last home game of the year!

Agree -- this board continues to be the highest quality basketball discussion online.

As to the team & its season... we didn't win many games, but it's been interesting all the same.

Above all, & without question, this franchise has entered a new era & is on the move! Go Wiz!!

Legit the perfect tanking season if we manage to land a top 2 pick. All the young guns got great playing time and we replaced that clown Kuzma with savvy vets like Middleton and Smart to learn from until we ultimately ship them out. I still shudder about them trying to bring Beal back at the deadline though. That would’ve ruined everything.

Absolutely. Always amazed by the knowledge the collective here has. Truly impressive stuff. Makes me sound smarter with my friends when I take some of the morsels from here.

I’m also just now realizing I ran into AJ and Thor at Reagan a few weeks back. Guess they were flying up to New York for the Knicks game. Couldn’t place their faces at the time. :lol:

We did what the unspoken agenda said we should do.

It's up to the lottery gods now. Some months were
painful to watch. But there were glimpses of hope
for (probably) 1-2 years from now.

I sat behind Otto Porter on a flight once. I think to Miami? Somehow he had brought on a cardboard container of fried chicken and was stinkin up the whole row.

Seeing that team photo, I legit really like every player on this roster. Small moves, but moving out Kuzma, and bringing in Middleton and Smart, plus Brogdon being here, what a solid group of vets. Moving out Johnny Davis, and Baldwin, and bringing in AJ and Jones. I just like the way this final roster shook out.

It is funny they put the whitest guy and the blackest guy next to each other.

And totally obnoxious that Terd is front and center, in a coaches outfit holding a ball. :roll:

I saw a really tall guy on the street once. I'm just now realizing, that guy was tall.

I laughed seeing Ted front and center with the ball in that outfit.

But you know what? He sounded all in with the tank, raved about the front office and young guys. He’s embraced the tank. It took a decade plus but I’ll tolerate it. He is writing the checks.

I forgot Saddiq Bey was on the team. Brogdon too. Surprised we didn't buy him out.

Terd looks silly with choice of shoes too. The man has been shrinking before I eyes for the past several years, seems like. Only thing that remains moose sized is the ears.

Needless to say, must-lose game again. Would like to see Sarr finish on a strong note, but that's about it.

One month until the lottery. Time to start praying to Jobu.

Oh yeah... I remember that guy. Only... he didn't seem that tall....

The last game....

I'm so sad. :waaa:

I really love this team.

Even when they lose I still enjoy watching them.

:cry:

A playoff team would love to have Tristan coming off the bench sniping, I wonder what the market will be for him this summer, and if he will be pinched.

He is a RFA so Will can match anything

He doesn’t seem like a top priority based of past actions by the Wiz

I’m Nate Robinson-sized. Lots of guys look tall to me. My sister married a guy 6’5” and his three brothers are similar height. I have a photo standing with them at the wedding, looking like I’m the coach.
