The game is on TV. I'm sure you can figure it out.

You're trying too hard when making game threads. Nobody likes a show off.

Although he was walking around gingerly, hopefully Wall keeps up the good play for the trip. He's been the only player showing up night in and night out. He's averaged 22-13-5 on 57% shooting for the trip.

Considering he had that lower leg problem, I hope he sits for a few games. If it's the same leg, would be wise....and may make Grunfeld sign a backup PG finally to a 10 day.

You say lazy. I say efficient.
But the game is on ESPN so we want have to listen to Buck count our FT misses in this game. The dude needs some serious therapy for his FT fetish.

Re: Bullets v. Suns
Can we just forfeit? I mean this is a likely loss anyway, I think I just prefer to let Wall and Pierce get another day of rest.

Re: Bullets v. Suns
Last game of a road trip, second game of a back to back and we had to use up a lot of energy to come back last night, so I say we should just go ahead and pull a Poppovich and just rest as many guys as possible and essentially tank this game. I mean even if we play everyone it's a tough game, but better to give the guys some rest.
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

Looking beyond this game, I wonder if the answer to our bench problems is to bring Pierce off the bench and have Otto start. Otto certainly looked better than normal with the starting unit and Pierce is one of the few guys on the team who can create his own shot. You can still have the Truth finish games.
The team could then look to trade for/ acquire a SG or combo guard. The bench would consist of Miller, new guard, Pierce, Hump, and KS
Butler gets demoted as it looks like he's lost the magic.

OKC plays the NYK tonight. A definite win. At least if we lose to Phoenix, their lead over OKC in the playoff race is preserved. OKC missing the playoffs helps the Durant cause. Especially if we show out in the playoffs.

Re: Bullets v. Suns
I'm surprised how many on this board just want to cede this game and sit players. I think some of you are reading way to much into Wall stepping on the camera man's ankle the other day. If he says he's ready to go and the training staff feels confident I say why would you forfeit the chance at a win? We've shown to be a pretty successful team on the second game of back-to-backs.
Now if the training staff is iffy about Wall than I agree, but their is a lot of speculation and arm chair doctoring going on here.

Re: Bullets v. Suns
We'll lose by 30.
Wall will start but he will be sitting the whole 2nd half when the game gets out of hand.
Get ready for Toronto on Saturday.

Re: Bullets v. Suns
This definitely feels like another one of our 30pt blowout losses. We've been playing mediocre basketball for a while now and we've become a TO machine. We're going to get blitzed.

Or we'll play better and win....

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

How have we been plaing mediocre ball? We barely lost to OKC and POR. Other than that NJ game, we've played pretty darn well since Atlanta-gate.

Re: Bullets v. Suns
Someone said Wall had a minutes restriction last night because of his Achilles - and he still played 36 minutes. If that's the case, I would limit his minutes tonight to exactly zero minutes. But... I trust the Wiz medical staff.
