YOUR Washington Bullets ARE 4-3!

They've lost 3 out of their last 4 games. They've played lazy, crappy, uninspired basketball to close the Lakers, Warriors, and Suns out when they had them down double digits!

They face another team dealing with its own crappy defense in the Cavs. They are 3-5 and working through a new infusion of players but with limited defensive upside. I'd expect the Wiz to score a lot in the paint. But will the Wiz defend at all????

-------------------------VS-------------------------

LAST GAME:
Suns @ Wizards - 122-116 (L)
Pacers @ Cavs - 124-107 (L)

Your T.J Warren player of the game will be Jeff Green, who seems to always score 20+ points vs the Wizards no matter what team he's on.

Yup. He's gonna dunk on someone and all of his DC area family will loudly cheer him on as usual.

Wiz take a L, perfect bounce back opportunity for a struggling Cavs team.

That's why it's so surprising that he hasn't been part of this organization yet. Ernie loves signing guy that have had good games against the Wizards at some point.

Perhaps he's still a tad too young, by the time Green turns 34 he'll be a prime candidate.

On the contrary, I think we bounce back after that Suns fiasco

If we have Porter, we have the W

Is Kieff back?

That LeBron James guy is even better than TJ Warren.

Wade is old enough to be Oubre's stepfather. His daddy if they're from Baltimore.

Derrick Rose is going to destroy Tim Frazier.

This will be the game where the Cavs get their mojo back. Kevin Love is going to sit on the low block and just score at will.

He needs to have injury problems. Then he will pique Ernie's interest.

I thought back when Green had his open heart surgery would be the moment he'd strike.

It's impossible to predict a Cavs game these days. If the Cavs are motivated, and they're willing to play Lebron 40 minutes, they're the favorite against anybody but Golden State. But the Cavs haven't been motivated much lately, and they probably don't want to play Lebron 40 minutes, which makes them beatable. And if they play with the truly lethargic and disinterested demeanor that they have shown in the past few games, then they're a really bad team that anyone can beat.

My advice to the Wizards is to keep your mouth shut and don't give them any incentive to try and play hard.

It'll be good to have Morris back. Let's hope he doesn't eat into Oubre's minutes too much.

Yeah Cavs are beatable the same as Lakers and Suns...

Both are back. Morris is on a minutes restriction. Probably playing 16-18 minutes.

Good guys win, and all is right again in Wizards land

Ben Standig did a nice job previewing this. Both teams are struggling because of bad defense.

I’m thinking Wiz win comfortably. Without a healthy IT the Cavs are not great and unlike Suns/Lakers, the Wiz won’t underestimate them.

I’m assuming Otto plays of course.
