This game will feature the battle of the best young backcourts in the NBA.

Perhaps, the Wizards can go with Porter at the 4 against Tobias Harris.

This was Gortat when he was on the Magic.

Can Gortat get more defensive rebounds than an old Randy Wittman, or will be see Randy Wittman come out of retirement to become the stretch four that the Wizards always wanted?

If there ever was a game that needed to be won, it's this one. Orlando is one of the weaker teams in the east, even if they have improved from last year. It's at home, Beal should be back, Otto is playing well, they are coming off a back to back while we are well rested. If we lose this one we are in for a long November and probably an ugly season.

Both Oladipo and Payton are overrated for me. Oladipo is like Monta Ellis imo, inefficient volume shooter who puts up stats on a bad team. He's a better fantasy stats player than what he is irl.

Bledsoe/Knight and Lillard/McCollum are up there.

I'll say it:

Must win.

WTF is up with our schedule. We played Tuesday, then Saturday, then Tuesday, then Saturday, then Tuesday.

Bizarre to have 4 days in between each game 5 games in a row.

We get Orlando on a b2b, they won tonight so maybe we have a chance.

Very bizarre. Fewest games played in the league.

However, after Tuesday they'll play five games in one week before Thanksgiving. Consecutive back-to-backs will be upcoming.

Don't complain. We need the practice, conditioning and recovery time.

Doesn't look like Beal is going to play

It's a long season.

Hold him out Tuesday as well, if need be, and he will have virtually two weeks off but will only miss 3 games.

Won't be surprised if his shoulder takes (much) longer to heal.

I'll be amazed if the Wiz didn't misdiagnose Beal's shoulder. We will probably find out out he tore a rotator cuff in a week.

Sit out Dudley too he's seems to be not in NBA shape yet.

GO WIZARDS -- and I'm not kidding! I really mean it!

Don't sit out Dudley, no. Start him at the 2. Sit out Gary Neal.

More reps for Oubre. Things could be worse.

Good idea to start Temple over Neal. Neal's been struggling. And, we need that second unit to coalesce, so I'd rather Neal find his rhythm off the bench.

Holy crap. The return of Garrett Temple. They'll be many a brick tonight. FML.

Gortat now trying too hard and Temple just being Temple.

JWizmentality · Post #20 » by **JWizmentality** » Sun Nov 15, 2015 12:16 am

That's 1 wide open brick by Temple. More to come.
