GT #26: Bullets @ Pistons 7 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) [12/8/21]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 14-11. 4-8 in their last 12. A declining defense. An atrocious offense. And seemingly no hope for a turnaround.

They got down double digits again on Monday night vs. the Pacers. They came back within 8 or 9 and the Pacers were able to effortlessly hit some 3s down the stretch. In fact, over the 2nd half, the Bullets outscored Indiana by a score of 64-58 but without hitting 3s at a higher volume, you can't cut down any double digit lead!

On Wednesday, they travel to Detroit Basketball! to face the Pistons. They're coming off a loss to the Sonics. We get our first up close look at #1 overall pick Cade Cunningham who is coming off arguably his best outing as a pro thus far.

Will the Bullets get down double digits in this one? I look forward to Saben Lee, Trey Lyles, Sadiq Bey, Josh Jackson, and Frank Jackson hitting back breaking 3s. :lol: :lol:

What a foolish challenge by Casey, in the first quarter no less.

THis is absurd, it's his natural shooting motion.

Deni's a different player with confidence. We need this all the time from him.

Deni with 10 points with 8 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. The bad news is that he picked up a questionable 3rd foul

What the hell is wrong with the defense? Detroit is the 29th ranked offense in the league.

This is beyond embarrassing. 12-0 run by the pistons to once again push an early lead to double digits. The only reason I'm not fully expecting a complete collapse in the third quarter is that the Pistons are actually trying to lose and might sit their best players. With that said, I'm still half expecting the collapse to occur. This team is just pathetic right now.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

Offenses can get any shot they want with a simple middle pick and roll against this Wizards team.

Defense sucks but offense is even worse. Pullup three, miss. Turnover. Iso with four guys standing around, miss. Turnover. Just vomitous.

Wizards can't even break 22 points in most opening quarters, took the Pistons less than 5 minutes.

These last few games Beal is also back to missing freethrows.

Pistons already have 19 free throws. On average, the Wizards give up 21 free throw attempts per game.
