GT #48: Clippers @ Bullets 7 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) [1/25/22]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 23-24 and got destroyed by Jayson Tatum on Sunday afternoon!

Under .500 for the 2nd time this season, a full roster and terrible losses piling up, the Bullets are in disarray. Wes Unseld Jr's system doesn't fit the roster, the players are either too dumb or too selfish to sacrifice, and the log jam at many positions is evident. More specifically, the veterans such as Dinwiddie, KCP, Trez, Neto, and Bertans are playing some of the worst defensive I've ever seen!

Tommy Sheppard is looking funnier and funnier in the light.

On Tuesday, the short-handed Clippers come to town. They're coming off an L against the Knicks. Ty Lue has his guys playing hard and with heart. Despite no Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, LAC is hovering around .500 with veterans all around with young players such as Mann, Boston, Coffey giving Lue good minutes.

Things are going to get ugly at F Street!

Celtics game is the first one I missed all year and right now there's just very little that compels me to tune in to see what's next.

The Wizards started the season out playing gritty and don't beat yourself basketball and have completely lost the plot since late November.

It's the carelessness, lack of effort and lack of cohesion that's done it for me and I just flat out cannot stand the brand of basketball some of the guys out there on the court are playing.

Spot on.

Prior to the Celts game I was probably 60%~40% build on what we have Vs. Break it up.

But now I’m over the hump. Gotta give Tommy some credit - he assembled a ton of decent pieces. But it does not all fit together. And WUJ should also be under scrutiny. If your team doesn’t, you know, pass the basketball, you gotta change stuff up. Mostly, he doesn’t seem to be matching personnel with strategy.

If you are going to go 12 deep, gotta take advantage of that by going up tempo. If you have three centers with different skill sets, you NEED to vary your rotation to take advantage of match ups.

If you have three or four guys who can’t guard, you can’t put three of them together in a lineup.

We either lose this game by 15 or win and then act as if we beat the Clippers with PG and Leonard :lol:

Let’s see how to they start..Egos should be hurt I hope…

Gafford with the monster block! You got to play him as much a possible

Interesting that Consor is back on TV. So Drew Gooden calls for trades on Sunday and he's not working on Tuesday. I've never seen a No. 1 color commentator work so few games.

Use all that energy Gaff, you’re probably not coming back in!

At this point with Gafford, I don't care if he plays 12 minutes or 24 minutes. I can see that they want to see what they have in Bryant and I guess they are trying to show Trez is a closer. If we are trying to win, he should play more than all of the centers, but I don't know if we're trying to win. Just positioning everybody for trades.

Gafford is really bringing it. Beal? I don't know. Throwing lazy behind the back passes. I get it that he's getting doubled. If he's really going to stay forever, they need to give him another big-time No. 2 option.

Yes! Deni in as point forward replacing Dinwiddie. No Neto…

They did that a few times when Wes was out. Hopefully, he realizes the errors of his ways and that Neto should never play again barring injuries.

What is Japanese for "Extra pass"? Not sure Rui is aware of that phrase.

queridiculo · Post #20 » by **queridiculo** » Wed Jan 26, 2022 12:41 am

Dinwiddie's percentage on stepbacks and sidestep threes has got to be in the teens.

No idea why he believes that's a go to for him.

How much does LAC win by?
