GT #58: Warriors @ Wizards 7 PM (CSN/NBATV/1500 AM) [2/28/17]

[FAH1223]

YOUR Washington Bullets are playing like a LOTTO TEAM AGAIN.

The losses to the Jazz and Sixers show that this team isn't a contender. The Jazz dominated from start to finish with great defense and a cold-blooded Gordon Hayward who closed the game.

For a Tuesday night showdown, the Warriors and the hometown kid who never wants to play at home come to Verizon Center to fatten their league leading record. The Warriors have already clinched a playoff berth and the only team close to catching them are the Spurs.

Will the Wizards go on a 3 game losing streak to start the post-All Star break? I say yes!

Warriors vs. Sixers (W) - 119-108

Lineups:











Bench:

Is Durant sitting out with a left hand injury?

[queridiculo]

Durant is questionable against the Sixers, but I'm sure he's going to be ready to play against Washington the following night.

A back to back definitely works in our favor, but with how incredibly unengaged this squad has looked outside of Beal I'm not very hopeful.

[TheKingOfVa360]

This is a big game for the Wizards. They can't go on a 3 game losing streak before playing the Raptors back to back. The team has to show some heart in this matchup.

[Meliorus]

A 5 game losing streak is looking more and more possible. Good thing we built up a nice cushion before the All-Star break.

[AFM]

Another EASY win for the good guys aka Dem Fireball Boyz

[long suffrin' boulez fan]

This one should be easy. GSW? Layup.

[NatP4]

Playing like a lottery team after two losses? They are 3rd in the east.

Countdown to beatdown

[Ed Wood]

Pro: Philadelphia has played Golden State pretty close for significant stretches tonight.
Con: Washington played Philadelphia pretty close very intermittently on Friday.

[ClutchDJ]

And of course, Toronto is 3-0 without Lowry since the ASB.

[J-Ves]

Freaking Knicks

[Jimmy Recard]

Steph was 0-11 from 3 against Philly tonight. Guaranteed he goes off on us now

[dangermouse]

I feel that even though we lost to the Jazz, in the final 15 mins or so of the game we played better & a bit more like our pre-ASG selves.

Gortat massively needs to pull his finger out. He's not getting those easy shots or grabbing boards, and his defense has been terrible. If he isn't playing well our other role players follow suit. I want a big night from him, win or lose.

True. Gortat was awful in those 2 games and definatelly he needs to plays better.

[ebgwarrior]

The Jazz bigs were a lot to handle. I think Gortat will show up vs a rather mundane GS frontline. Curry will have his hands full all night trying to stay in front of Wall. This is a match up of the 2 best back courts in the NBA. The Warriors bench will obviously play a factor. Reinforcements coming soon tbd. I'd like to see Omri at the end of the bench myself come playoff time, but I digress. If Coach Brooks isn't going to play Smith much again I'd sure love to see him take Drays head off, about 6 good hard fouls worth to be exact.

Scouting report should warn our players about Draymond "karate" Green seriously dirty ass ####

We're gonna get blitzed lol.

[TGW]

LOL the Wizards lose on every matchup across the board except for at center.

Gortat has to kill tonight.

You could argue Beal has been better than Klay this season.
