GT #60: Bullets @ Cavs 8 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) 

Post#1 » by FAH1223 » Sat Feb 26, 2022 5:01 am

YOUR Washington Bullets are 27-32 and coming off a great tank loss to the Spurs in DOUBLE OT!

They follow it up with a back to back, traveling to Cleveland!

This should be a SURE FIRE loss! The Cavs size should cause problems and there's no way the Bullets shoot hot from 3 on consecutive nights. Plus, the Cavs are coming off a loss in Detroit :o

Rondo and Garland are out so I'm a bit worried!

TANK, TANK, TANK!

The Cavs are definitely beatable without Garland. Hopefully, fatigue will help ensure our loss.

Kuzma looks a bit gassed? No really? Just played 46 minutes of a double OT game? He should not be playing more than 30 minutes tonight. Give Rui at least 23-25 minutes.

Bryant is a calamity defensively

Never a good thing to get your shot blocked by a 6-8 34-year old with short arms. TB has looked bad since coming off the sprained ankle and well not great since the ACL.

I know it's early, but they look like the tired team. Not us.

Typical: Gafford out/Bryant in and his man (Allen) has an easy dunk :banghead:

The Neto-Bryant combo is a prime tanking duo

Rui is now leading the league in 3-point percentage among players playing at least 15 games with at least 2 attempts per game.

Is Kyle Kuzma like Jerami Grant? A good player on a bad team putting up big numbers or is he capable of becoming a very good third option on a good team? Either way with that contract and at 26, you would hope he has some trade value if we want to deal for a point guard or first-round pick. At least you would hope.

Rui playing like Bertans when Bertans was good - hits jumpers and does not that much else. Maybe a little more defense, but sill makes dumb mistakes on that end.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

I hate seeing Iverson pitching for Tik Tok.

Hey, he was just a mid-range shooter before that so to compare him to Bertans because he's not exactly filling the box score or playing great D after sitting out for months due to basketball burnout or whatever is a bit unfair. That's just one more thing not to worry about Rui because that makes him a much better threat. They aren't even posting him up much. The rest is whether he has a passion for the game and only he knows.

Kuz might be terrible again in the fourth quarter, but this dude comes to play even after getting no sleep after a double OT game. Seven threes for three quarters is incredible.

Either Kutcher really cares about the Wizards winning or he is worried about getting a playoff bonus.

Kuzma is scorching. Eight threes.
