GT #76: Hornets @ Bullets 1 PM 

Post#1 » by dckingsfan » Sat Mar 31, 2018 5:56 pm

Wall is back and no minute restriction - going to be interesting...

Will Brooks go 10 or even 11 deep? Will Sato get minutes or will Sessions and Meeks eat his minutes.

Will the Wiz still average near to 30 assists per game?

Will it be hero ball at the end again?

The next 7 games are key to getting Wall integrated, setting the rotations and moving to that next level. Other wise one and done.

I didn't see the game vs Detroit, but I hear Otto injured his ankle. Is it a day to day thing?

This game will tell us a lot, but not enough to know our playoff future. I just hope we can some how get a healthy wall intergrated over the next 7 games...and get a match up with anyone other than Cleveland in the first round. The NBA refs and leadership will not let the king go down in the first round...

No respect for this thread. Beal looks absolutely terrible. John looks like John.

Maybe people were afraid of the 1pm tip. It's actually 3pmET.

Otto is playing by the way and looks fine.

John is playing a lot of off the ball, which is interesting. Beal and Kieff starting to heat up.

Beal needs to take a back seat and let the ball come to him...he doesnt need to take over now...

You can tell Beal has a lot less pressure on him basically having to do less. Walls passes look more crisp and on target to Beal/Kieff.

Guys were missing open shots early, but the offense is looking like it can get any shot it wants overall.

I think Beal is starting to realize he's not seeing double teams every time he drives so there's that.

He was standing still on the first few possessions. Here's hoping he picked something up watching Sato.

Other than taking that awful long 2, I like what John is doing. He's not letting the ball stick. He's moving it quickly. We're just missing wide open looks.

If we look like the same wizards as last year - that would be a win

Sato in for Wall. I assume he'll stay in the 2nd quarter with Meeks.
