YOUR Washington Bullets are 31-18!

They are on a 3 game losing streak, losing the last two in soul crushing fashion with horrible offensive plays with horrible offensive lineups by a horrible offensive coach and system. :banghead:

They return to the scene of a crime of a massacre weeks ago when the Hawks blitz'd the Wizards for 30 point victory when the teams last met. The ATL Hawks aka #SpursEast under Coach Budenholzer have the best record in the East. They also just had their 19 game winning streak snapped by the New Orleans Pelicans. These Hawks won the most games in a month in the HISTORY OF THE NBA. They are for real and with them running the Spurs system, are we really under illusions that the Wizards can play better defense or even matchup offensively?

John Wall will have to dominate Teague for the Wizards to have a chance at winning. But Wall has carried this team to his physical brink and looks to be worn out. Bradley Beal has played better of late but the bench looks to be severly outmatched.

This one's looking grim folks. #FireGrunfeld.

Been a while since I had to open up the lube. We need to pair Wall with an elite running mate. I can wait for Durant...but that's not certain. If EG gets an offer for a DMac type, then EG needs to pull the trigger. Everyone on the table, including Beal.

sigh...we could have had Harden. Seeing Beal now is just depressing. Can the backcourt of the future crap and get a legit player in here to run with Wall.

I dunno - we're catching the Hawks in the midst of their losing streak.

now we are old and ugly to watch

Do I dare even watch? Lately its been, who will suck the most rather than who will have the best game.

queridiculo · Post #19 » by **queridiculo** » Wed Feb 4, 2015 8:18 pm

My preferred starting lineup for this game would be:

Wall/Beal/Porter/Pierce/Nene

Fat chance considering that Pierce has yet to log a minute at that position, but who knows, perhaps the players, Pierce in particular, is lobbying for a lineup change given the spacing issues they have against this team with Nene and Gortat startin.

It would be great to get this win with the recent lull we've had, but I ain't banking on it. Nobody on this team shows up on a consistent basis, Porter doesn't play, and Wittman is a hard head one at times. We haven't been whopped really lately even in loses with close losses to OKC, POR, PHX, TOR, CHA, but hey have been some demoralizing loses. Hope we can pull a rabbit outta of our butts, it'll be even tougher with ATL losing Monday, hard to believe they'll drop two in a row at home.

Winner?
