GT #44: Bucks @ Wizards 2 PM (NBCSW/1500 AM) - Happy MLK Day! 

Post#1 » by FAH1223 » Mon Jan 15, 2018 8:36 am

YOUR Washington Bullets ARE 25-18 !

For a special afternoon matinee on MLK Day, the Bucks come back to town just over a week after their victory in DC in the final minutes. As you recall, Giannis and Bledsoe made the plays to win the game while the Wizards crappy 4th quarter offense kept being, well, crappy.

The Wiz normally play well on MLK Day. The Bucks are coming off a back to back where they got blown out by the surging Miami HEAT.

Will the Wiz get payback for last week's L to Milwaukee?

I'll be there tonight and I see the wiz winning this game by 7. Having Otto this go around helps with giannis coverage.

Would say a large portion of our Bucks board would like you guys to win this one. Bucks are only two games over .500 and the fire Jason Kidd sentiment running high.

Bucks have a winning record, and Wiz do better against winning teams. And at home on MLK Day against a team they recently lost to... and this time Otto will presumably play... gotta be the Wiz. Then again, Wiz have not been predictable this season, and they'd be smart to give Otto a 2 week rest at some point to ease the chronic hip problem. Wiz 114, Milw 108.

Wiz come out of the game strong, build big lead, only to throw it away down the stretch..complete with maddening plays from Wall and Beal. Call me a liar.

Pathetic effort, 3 out of 4 shots so far have been mid range jumpers.

Does Wall not know what the square on the backboard is for?

These are just not ready to play.

You'd think the coaches would manage to devise a scheme to keep the Bucks out of the paint, nope, not this team. Let them do the one thing they excel at.

Well, they are starting to clamp down now, but starting two bigs and forcing Morris to guard Giannis instead of playing Oubre and Porter together is setting your team up for failure anyways. Giannis is taking Morris to the woodshed like you would expect

Gotta keep feeding Otto, he’s sparked the offense. They become much less predictable when he’s initiating offense and taking shots and playmaking

Honestly, we might need that today. :D

I don’t remember the last shot taken by someone other than wall or Beal

Wall and Beal combined for 18 shots, no one else has more than 3

This **** is getting unwatchable. Beal with 6 turnovers (17 for the team) in the 1st half and its still 3 mins left in the 2nd quarter.
