YOUR Washington Bullets are 6-11 and remain at the bottom of the Eastern Conference!

After getting destroyed by the more popular team in LA on Friday night, they finish this roadtrip in the same city and same arena as they were at on Friday. This time against the new-look Clippers featuring 2x Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and his new running mate, Paul George.

So far the Clippers have looked pretty good but the team is still not whole as sharpshooter Landry Shamet is hurt. The Clippers had a bad performance in San Antonio against a desperate Spurs team looking to turn their season around. It was also Kawhi's 2nd return to the city where he started his career. Watching the game, the Spurs were cheating on Beverly and doubling Kawhi every single time down the court. Could the Wiz do the same thing with worse personnel?

Also, is it possible we didn't get the best young Lakers big man? I think Zubac is better than Bryant and Wagner! :lol:

Another L is incoming as this may be the new NBA champion in June. I don't see the Wizards getting their offense going against this good of a defensive team. But we'll see!

Geez. We have no chance.

The only match up I feel remotely good about is Mo... and maybe Davis.

We play the Clippers 2 consecutive Sundays and lost on some BS last Sunday. I'm getting sick of Sundays for Wizards basketball.

Blue laws. Nothing remotely intoxicating on tap on Sundays.

Yea, I just noticed that. I wonder why we keep playing the Clips in LA on Sundays. Weird.

Just for yucks, I'm going to try to look/count how many times Bryant is in position to grab a rebound vs not in position....

Brooks was asked what adjustments he would make since Moe is out. He replied Bryant was asking for more minutes and may get 40 tonight. Second option would be Rui at C.

Thomas Bryant shooting a mid-range jumper is almost never a good thing. This guy has regressed as a shooter.

Did Drew Gooden just say Bertans was the best shooter he's ever seen? Come on dude.

Well, we certainly match up better with the Clippers than the Lakers in terms of size.
