YOUR Washington Bullets are 1-4!

After a pathetic loss to the Kings in Sactown, the Wiz are in LA for a Sunday night showdown with the revamped LA Clippers. As the entire NBA world knows, the Clippers have set themselves up for the summer of 2019 where they have a chance at a Kawhi Leonard.

The Clippers are coming off a big win against the Rockets. Montrezl Harrell had a huge game off the bench and lived at the FT line.

We get to see Marcin Gortat who in his diminished state is still a more productive player than an Austin Rivers. The Wiz will probably be outrebounded by double digits with the depth of the Clippers frontline.

With the Wizards already bickering in the locker room, with Otto Porter off to a slow start and being the scapegoat, and with a coach who is among the bottom half in the NBA... this will be an ugly contest for DC.

LAST GAME:

Wizards @ Kings - 112-116 (L)
Clippers @ Rockets - 133-113 (W)

"Good thing the Wizards are no longer being held back by Marcin Gotrat!"

Washington is only 49 wins away from 50.

Their .200 (1 win-4 loss) is only .425 off of the pace. They're only two wins off the pace.

They'd be set at 3-2.

Alas, they're at 1-4.

I'm out.

We should troll Doc by starting Austin. Will be good to see Marcin again. And Mike Scott.

They match up well with us, will be a tough one to pull out on road.

Who the hell knows with this team. I should predict a loss but I know people are hoping for us to lose so we can have some changes. I'm not at that point yet but when you keep getting outrebounded by double digits and they have Harrell, I just don't see a win here.

The Cavs just fired Lue after an 0-6 start. If the Wizards lose tonight, I think Brooks should be on the hot seat. The question for me is whether EG has (finally) lost the stability and authority to make that call, or if Ted will finally decide that enough is enough and clean house.

Ted would owe Scott Brooks $14 million over the next two years and the rest of the season. No chance and I don't think coach is the entire issue. There is a chemistry problem and lack of talent problem up front that is slowing this team down. It's not Brooks' fault he has to play borderline NBA players in Mahinmi and Jason Smith or Morris at center. It is his fault that he's forcing Austin Rivers to play 27 minutes a game.

If Morris does not start tonight. It will be interesting to see what lineups Brooks uses. Will he start Jeff Green or bump Otto to the 4 with Oubre at the 3?

Pretty sure Jan 2014 was the last win vs Clippers @ their place.

Boban might get 20 pts 10 rebounds in 10 minutes against our frontline. All putback dunks.

Ty Lue is owed $14M over the next 2 years by the Cavs. :lol:

What a bunch of optimists!

Don't you understand? It's all about getting hot at the right time. We'll probably win big tonight!

Nice to see a rare Mahinmi basket is over Gortat, who doesn't box out well enough.

Hanging in there despite some awful defensive rotations and Wall's poor shooting. Of course, Avery Bradley just goes nuts on us every time. Why would you ever throw Ian an ally-oop. The dude has the worst hands in the NBA.

80sballboy · Post #17 » by **80sballboy** » Mon Oct 29, 2018 1:57 am

Love Montrezl Harell, even though he had a tough offensvie foul there. Wall is 1-6 so far from the field.

I missed that Iany-oop.
