Just the basics. Work hard. Pass the ball. Guard your man. If the Wiz play like this game thread they’ll win. Discuss amongst yourselves

YOUR Washington Bullets are 23-23 and CONTINUE TO LOSE GAMES THEY SHOULD BE WINNING. :lol: :lol:

They got punked by the Raptors who turned up the defense, forced 18 turnovers, and got a 4 point win in the end after a miraculous comeback by the Bullets. It seems they will never beat Toronto here in DC.

The Bullets are 3-3 on this homestand losing winnable games vs. POR, vs BKN, and vs. TOR.

They welcome the equally struggling Celtics back to Capital One Arena. The Cs are coming off a choke loss to the Blazers. The season series with Washington is in favor of the Bullets 2-0.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown going off today seems likely but who else steps up for Boston? I'm not too sure!

Normally I'd say the Bullets lose but its hard to predict with this bunch of Cs in town.

Hot take. Our supermax player won't be the best player on the court.

He also will attempt 25 field goals or more.

Tatum misses 20 straight threes and then hits the first two against us. :noway:

All the Beal haters on Twitter just typing away after that air ball 3.

Neto back in the rotation with Wes back on the bench.

As Neto and Beal shoot airball 3s and Bryant misses an open one, I almost feel most comfortable with Rui takings 3s right now. Not saying he's the best, but who is a good 3-point shooter on this team?
KCP is the only player shooting over 35% that is in the rotation. He's at 37.7%, while Holiday, who never plays, is at 38%. Of course, defending the 3 and shooting them are our biggest issues.

Went zone against Tatum and still didn't work.

Good to see Bryant getting closer to becoming a starter. Gafford was a no-show today. Needs to protect the rim.

Not sure Deni guarding Tatum right now is the best option considering he's coming off some sort of quad injury. We don't have many options which is why we need a defensive wing.

I'm in a funk with this team right now and I could do without KCP. Takes so many shots and is a bench player at best. Not as good as defender as they advertise him to be. Hard to enjoy watching them as I keep saying, but the NFL game isn't that interesting to me right now.

Ok, only question now is whether Tatum gets 50 or possibly 60 as KCP misses another wide open 3.

Tatum with 31 at the half. Losing by 15 to an ordinary Boston team. When is the lottery?

McGrady had 62 against the Wizards. Tatum is on pace.
