GT #67 Kings @ Wizards 7:00 PM

Remember the good old days when Boogie Cousins and John Wall would get together and the Wizards would usually prevail? Now Cousins is gone and playing for a pretty good Golden State (that just lost to Kelly Oubre's Suns), while John Wall suffered an Achilles injury like his former college teammate.

In the meantime, the Wizards have been playing competitive games albeit they have also secured losses as of late for the tank that have positioned for the 7th worst draft odds. The Wizards are also currently 4 games back of a playoff spot which could mean that the Wizards will try to go for the win.

The Wizards will attempt to get their first win against an above .500 team since the Nets game. The Wizards are now 1-4 against above .500 teams since the trade deadline.

Our PG's are 6 of 7 including 4 3's with 17 points through the first 17 minutes. Fox is 0 for 5.

Strange game. And a rather boring one too. Both teams are missing a lot of open shots.

Sacramento does not have an answer for Jabari Parker. He's like a freight train barreling down the lane. Too bad he has been horrific on the defensive end. Lots of bad rotations.

Its pretty much boring because of the crowd or lack there of. The game is on pace to be 130-129

Listening to Buck and Kara don't help either.

Randle and Troy Brown were in together during the first half. Now it is Randle in the game instead of Brown despite playing worse than Brown. Interesting...

Brooks might be looking for a smaller, quicker guy to stay in front of Fox. I'm not sure that Randle is actually quicker than Brown though.

Overall, it appears that Randle's minutes are actually coming from Dekker, who hasn't left the pine.

Troy Brown has been taken to school tonight. He has been beat back door at least twice. Also has a couple of turnovers.

Yup. Randle has played a far better game than Troy overall tonight contrary to what I said earlier. Makes you wonder if Randle starts to get more minutes going forward.

Good grief! Parker is a turnover machine!

His handle is so sloppy. I reminds me a bit of Beal in his first 2 seasons. Beal busted his butt to improve his handle. Parker is going to need to do the same.

Man Parker is really bad handling the ball, he is a turnover machine!!

Beal is not in tank mode, Yet.

Nice!

Fox is a mega-talent but his decision-making is so bad. With 6 turnovers. Wiz might not blow this one. Tank is barely alive.

And of course, Hield chucks up a contested 3 instead of going for the layup with 20 seconds left down 3. Kings will always King ya.

Dave Joerger low key man of the match because refusing to call any timeouts late untill the game was allready over.

Amazing. Beal somehow managed to finish with 27 points, 9 boards, 9 assists and 4 steals with a .574 TS%.

The game really has become easy for him. He just reads the defense so well.

No team puts more importance on winning meaningless games like the Wizards in pathetic attempt to mask their win loss record.

Miami is sitting in the 8th spot and they don't even want to be there. They dumped most of their shooting at the deadline in an effort to lose games.

Some organizations are able to look down the road and some only worry about tomorrow no matter how pointless it is.

I did not advocate that he sucked. This guy may be better than we all think of him. Thing is? is he wasted here? and should be better off somewhere else.?
