GT #46: Wizards @ OKC Thunder 8 PM (CSN/99.1 FM) [2/1/16]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 21-24 and STILL looking towards a lottery pick in this lost season!

They're coming off a big win in Houston despite James Harden's 40 points. The lineup featured balanced scoring and a scoring binge in the 4th quarter once big men Nene and Dwight Howard were ejected.

For some Monday night hoops, the Wiz get to say good bye to the #KD2DC dream in person to the man himself. OKC will be well rested and looking to finish the game early. The Wiz will probably be blown out before the 4th quarter begins.

The tank rolls on! #FIREGRUNFELD

Consistently blown away at how good the game threads can be.

If we get a W here, we're a lock to get Durant right?

Don't forget Popovich.

Westbrook gets a quadruple double (points, rebounds, assists, minutes holding the ball), Dudley/Neal outscores Durant, Wiz use balanced scoring led by Wall to one point victory. Durant says "hmmm"

Every rationale fiber tells me this should be an easy loss. So we probably will win.

I miss Seattle team. I alwas wish Verizon can be like Key Arena Full and Loud. You didn`t heard there cheers for opposite teams. Watching our players is as embarrasing as watching/hearing our fans.

Beal played 30min last night so why is he not starting? He always plays great against OKC and then him & Wall will want to prove themselves against the GSW backcourt. Start him especially if Porter misses time. We just need to finally get to our real lineup and I think we could compete for the East. We don't have to wait for an L to insert him back

Even if healthy this current roster's ceiling is 6-8 seed. We can't even beat teams like DEN and POR at home with some semblence of health. That is fairly indicting. Health has been problematic, but lack of talent and substandard coaching are the biggest issues, that and player accountability. There is so much systemic incompetence in how our players play it is dumbfounding. :noway:

G'luck to Randy and his family.

Lets see if the players can make it competitive for him.

Also, lets see if Newman interjects any new nuances. If he does and they improve the team hopefully Randy adapts them when he comes back.

Ernie Grunfeld killed my optimism a long time ago.

It won't return until he's FIRED!!!!!!! :clap:

See i disagree. We lost to Den & Por because our coach waited until we were finally about to be healthy before deciding to go back to that awful Nene-Gortat lineup. I still say that if we start our normal lineup now, we can be a EC contender. Beal & Porter are better after watching. Dud is in shape now, Wall is not playing like November asz, and everyone now knows the system. We will run most teams out the gym over 48min

DW2DC?

....after KD re-ups with the Thunder, EG will throw the max at Waiters.

AFM · Post #16 » by **AFM** » Mon Feb 1, 2016 2:28 pm

Waiters? More like whiteside, he comes here and has an awful career. Or some awful contract for Harrison Barnes

Post #17 » by **Ruzious** » Mon Feb 1, 2016 4:17 pm

Condolences to Randy and his family.

On paper, OKC should win by 25, but just when you expect them to get crushed, they... um lose by 7. Good tank opportunity.

I could see Barnes being our option G that actually happens. We'll be paying a ton for him, Beal, and Porter (the next year) to shoot jump shots, but we digress.

EG turned-loose with so-many FA moves to make next year is certainly going to cause many ulcers here, especially after KD re-ups for that last year with Westbrook. EG in FA with a roster to fill, think about that.

Time to snap back to reality. OKC will run us out of the gym.

YOUR WINNER
