GT #10: Bucks @ Bullets - Sun 11/6 - 6 PM (NBCSW/980 AM)

YOUR Washington Bullets are 6-3 and recovered from their first losing streak of the season!

They held Ja Morant to season-lows in scoring and managed to blow out the Grizzlies on Friday night.

The NBA Champions are coming to town Sunday night and they're short-handed. Jrue Holiday recently returned from injury and will be limited as he gets back in shape, Middleton is out, Lopez is out, DiVencenzo is out. They're coming off a big loss to the Knicks after leading the Knicks by nearly 20 points earlier in the game. As great as Giannis is, he will not be able to win every game by himself.

Will the Bullets finally crack a W against the champs? Or will Giannis drop 50 and go insane while your Bullets return to being brick city?

Too bad we are without Rui "Giannis stopper" Hachimura.

Middleton, Lopez and divencenzo didn't play yesterday. Holiday is coming off an injury and played limited minutes.

Gotta like the non-stop energy we get from center between Go-Go Gafford & Trez the Prez! And just wait until we add Bryant to that mix!

Love how Deni is developing into a grit & grind hustle player. A hustle player with skills is not a bad thing to have off your bench.

At the same time, Kispert is trying to do the hustle thing.... Dude you are in there to shoot 3s, stop passing them up and let it fly!

Gotta love how Neto has turned into a legit microwave off the bench! Dude comes in and is a stat stuffer! No fear, and can flat out score!

Beal is coming around, and Dimwittie is proving to be rock steady. Kuz & KCP are legit support, talented vets are the 3rd & 4th wheels to make this vehicle go that we have been lacking. Adding Rui to this will make us a legit headache for any opponent, and a true wildcard come playoff time!

Oh dear. Whodathought the Wiz would be 2 games ahead of the Bucks - soon to be... 3? Gafford should actually be a decent matchup against Giannis - as long as he stays out of foul trouble. Sure, he'll get over-powered a few times.

Who’s the Bucks SG if Allen isn’t better by game time?

I’m thinking Neto may have another good game.

Gafford, Harrell & Kuzma should rack up the rebounds.

Beal is due for a monster game.

But I am worried about the Sunday start time & clock change. For some reason it always tends to makes me sluggish. Hopefully it makes the Bucks slow up.

Go Wiz!!

Perhaps Rodney Hood gets the start. He hasn't looked great to start the season.

Gotta see if Giannis has any brothers that can play guard.

Milwaukee is the favorite per Vegas odds makers.

I expect a win.

Didn't like either of those quick threes, but I guess fine given the results. Awful shots if misses, but I digress.

Great start: 9-0. What a difference with the Scotty era, much better prepared from the get go!

KCP is jacking up shots like he's Beal. WUJ? Timeout?

Same old crap. They get up 12-0 and Beal becomes Mr. Careless, I have to play Hero Ball and try to cross up everybody.

Trash offense. Early fool's gold with bad three point attempts.
