Cavs(16-33) vs Wizards(24-24) 7pm at Verizon

This is the kind of game we usually lose....to a team we have no business losing too. And now with Grant gone, we officially have the worst GM in basketball.

Yup. Losing this is a distinct possibility. I'd feel better about the game if we were playing on the road.

Seems like the team is gelling and growing. I think as a group they get it better now. Wall is clearly more focused.

Cleveland fired their GM, they didn't get a new coach. I think the former has less impact on a team.

Biggest mistake Randy can make is not using Kevin, Ves and Booker properly for what each brings. But that's the same issue we have had all year. At least he seems to be using Kevin a little more lately which gives him 9 players instead of 8. A better coach would use more of his assets better. Pops used 12 players last game.

If we lose this game to a team with a locker room thats almost as dysfunctional as the "Gungate" Wiz locker room...

So far Jan brings 25% shooting from free throw line. Awful player.
I like Randy lately.

Im 110% focused on Wall. He's playing great again and saved the game for us but then completely fell flat in OT while also taking alot of shots. What does that all mean? Will he come out passive because of that and maybe after having another talk with Witt or will he stay aggressive and try to go hard at Kyrie? I would love to see him attack Kyrie and let him know that he's the man now. If Wall wins that battle then we win. If Kyrie wins it then anything is possible

Kyrie is deep in the dog house. Brown benched him in the 6-foul-fiasco. That team is going nowhere.

The Wizards have proven one thing so far this year. They can win against any team, but they're just as likely to lose against them.

Fully expecting another inexplicable loss in this one.

The Wizards' smalls are doing a good job of closing out and not giving opponents' shooters lots of time and space. We go for stretches where we make opponents scramble thru multiple possessions.

I like our chances tonight.

Cavs: 88

Kyrie a game time decision, so odds of Cavs winning have increased.

john needs to have a strong defensive game; I expect he knows that.
If Kyrie doesn't go off, they lose the last game. I don't see much
offensive firepower other than him. Make the other guys beat you.

They said the right things in the press about knowing they can't
have a hangover from the last game. Will saying = doing? We'll see
in a few hours.

PS-
Don't whine about our fans if you don't go.

I'm going to be seriously PO'd if Bennett in any way shape or form breaks out.

pps- I'm more worried about SAC on Sunday, said at the risk of angering the hoop gods.
SAC, on a last sec shot by Thomas, beat us last year.
