GT #15: Wizards @ Cavaliers 7 PM (CSN/99.1 FM) [12/1/15]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 6-8 after a TERRIBLE end of the 4th quarter vs. the Raptors in which the Wiz squandered an 8 point advantage in under 4 minutes. They travel to Cleveland on Tuesday for a game we thought would be an East Finals preview :lol:

From the hangtime blog:

All it took was a playoff sweep of the Toronto Raptors for the Washington Wizards and their fans to go all-in on the small-ball, pace-and-space style of offense so popular throughout the league. All it has taken to shake them from that embrace is four defeats, strung together last week in five nights against Indiana, Charlotte, Boston and Toronto. That shiny, new attack doesn’t look so dazzling anymore, and center Marcin Gortat sounded ready to throw it under the bus to get his old bruise buddy, Nene, alongside him again in a big-man tandem that, weeks ago, seemed prehistoric. Gortat also wasn’t happy with what he termed “negativity” in Washington’s locker room, saying: “”It’s not even fun coming here anymore.” Here is an excerpt of J.Michael’s Wizards insider report for CSNMidAtlantic.com:

“We missed some shots but it’s tough also because with the system we play, four outside one inside,” he said after 16 points and 10 rebounds in Saturday’s 84-82 loss to the Toronto Raptors. “I’m by myself over there fighting for the rebounds. Usually you got two, three guys inside the paint so it’s a little bit different without Nene being at the four.”

Nene, who started alongside Gortat as the power forward, missed Saturday because of a left calf strain. Even though his career rebounding numbers are modest (6.6), Nene tends to clear the traffic around the rim to allow Gortat to rebound.
Of course, last season Gortat wasn’t happy on the offensive end because being on the floor with Nene being there clogged the paint and caused difficulty for him, as well as John Wall on drives, to operate. The idea of moving Nene to the bench and sliding in someone who has three-point ability into that role opens the floor but usually comes at the cost of rebounding.

The Wizards are 6-8 and struggling with their identity, and minus-28 in rebounds during this four-game losing streak. Playing the old way got them to the Eastern Conference semifinals two years in a row.

Kris Humphries had started every game at power forward as his three-point shooting evolved but has only made one deep ball in the last five games. For the first time Jared Dudley, who is undersized at 6-7 and was a teammate of Gortat’s with the Phoenix Suns, started there Saturday. He had seven points and four rebounds.

“Jared is a different player. He’s giving a lot to the team. I love to play with him,” Gortat said. “But just as Jared is giving us offensively great opportunities, we’re suffering on rebounds a little bit. It is what it is.

“Coach [Randy Wittman] is still looking for the right guy at the four spot. … It’s tough. Everybody has to do more now, including me. It’s not easy.”


With the locker room in disarray with no leader on the roster. King James and his Cavs look for another blowout W over the Wiz at the Q.

Hurray another blowout which I can smell in the air.. but seriously any delusions Wizards can win this game?
Will Nene and Mozgov play?
I think realistically we win next game vs Lakers and then we lose with Mavs.
I was hoping Wittman will lose his job but in this franchise it not gonna happend anyway.....
I hope Wall starts to play up to his potential cause it`s very sad view right now.

Expect to see a lot of Richard Simmons.

Three Wizards will leave the game with injuries and flagrant 2s after Dellavedova looks at them.

Payback for 2008 1st round game 3. Cavs 108 Wiz 72.

Papa Johns will add a 50% surcharge to fans showing a ticket stub.

You don't want my coprolites. They look like paving stones. Maybe some younger fan will volunteer.

Got your PM, pine. My advice would be cut down on the breakfast burritos and fiber bars. It looks like you poured some instant coffee powder into your toilet bowl. I can't use this.

Public rejection hurts. A lot.

You cut me, AFM. You cut me deep.

Another loss. Team will probably beat the Lakers. then lose the next four. one step forward. four steps back.

Draft's looking pretty good this year.

Wiz get off to a 50 point lead and lose by 20.

I really doubt this will be a blowout. I'm expecting a close game.
