YOUR Washington Bullets ARE 9-7 (Really should be 13-3)!

The Bullets continue their road trip with a stop in Milwaukee. This'll be the first back-to-back of the season for DC.

The Wiz are reeling losing 2 games in a row after a good winning streak. The Bucks are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Mavs in which the Mavs made a franchise record 19 three pointers! The Bucks have a new PG though who has injected some new energy to the team.

The Wiz have played decent defense over the last 10 days. Will they continue to clamp down? Will John Wall make his return? How will the Wiz be able to stop a potential MVP candidate in Giannis?!!

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

LAST GAME:
Wizards @ Raptors - 91-100 (L)
Bucks @ Mavs - 79-111 (L)

After the pathetic beat down of the Bucks in Dallas Wizards should take this one by 20+ points. Easy game for the Wizards.

Bucks got thrashed in their last game... against Dallas. Now, will that make them pumped up to show they're not that team, or will they play dis-jointed and lazy again? I have no idea - just as I have no idea if the Wiz will show more intensity and urgency. From day to day, I don't know what to expect from Oubre and Morris, and now we have the issue of Wall's knee. So in my studied opinion... beats me - this is the NBA's East.

I'm guessing we probably lose cause we'll probably defend them incompetently.

Force Giannis to shoot. I remember Porter playing Giannis tight at times last year, that is the last thing he should be doing. Go under every damn screen and give him a good enough cushion to let him not get by you.

With how LONG the bucks are, a priority has to be on protecting the defensive glass. Interested to see how Bledsoe is playing as well.

Wizards looking real good so far. Paying attention to detail. Getting every defensive rebound and switching well on screens.

Giannis is going to foul out our whole team.

I have no idea why any player would play him tight. Give him the Wall treatment. I thought Morris did a fair job for the most job of playing off of him. One of his fouls looked legit. As soon as Porter switched onto him when Morris went out, he immediately played him tight and got a foul. Porter should know better given he is supposedly a high IQ player that he can't keep up with him laterally. Oubre might be the only guy we have that can actually play him tight, but I think he is probably going to pick up quite a few cheap fouls given how much love Giannis gets from refs.

So far, Gortat has guarded him the best. He just gives him 6 feet of space and let's him shoot perimeter shots.

The Wall treatment won't work with giannis. He isn't going to take a mid.range jumper. If you give him space that just gives him a free step closer to the rim.

you are right actually, it seems to be a rather effective way to stop him so far. I'm guessing Ian will probably do some BS when he checks in.

A few steps for him might as well be at the rim :/

My dislike for Mahinmi is out of control right now.

YOUR WINNER..
