GT #70: Lakers @ Bullets 8 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) 

Post#1 » by FAH1223 » Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:50 am

YOUR Washington Bullets are 29-40 and have lost 6 in a row! :clap:

The tank rolls on as they return home after a near scare on Friday night. The Knicks appeared to have a victory secured until Kuzma decided to start hitting 3s late. Thankfully, NYK held on to win.

With that loss as well as the Lakers win at Toronto, your Bullets moved to 10th in the lottery tankathon standings!

Speaking of those LA Lakers, they are now 30-40. LeBron and Westbrook played big minutes into OT to get a W against the Raptors. The Lakers don't own their pick this year with it belonging to the Pelicans (if in top 10) or the Grizzlies (if #11 or later) depending on where the pick lands.

LeBron is only 21 points away from passing the Mailman Karl Malone for 2nd all-time on the NBA scoring list. He scored 50 last week against your Bullets.

This is Westbrook's first trip back to DC since the blockbuster trade last summer. Chris Miller on NBC Sports Washington says there'll be a big tribute video for Russ' wild one season with the Bullets and becoming the Triple Double King.

More former Bullets are in the house... Trevor Ariza and Dwight Howard! :lol:

Hopefully LeBron and Westbrook play and play well. Another loss is critical.

It would have been pretty hilarious seeing Russ being coached by Wes this year.

What's Wenyan Gabriel's career high for points and rebounds? Tonight could be a milestone for him.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Big tank for the better pick. No Kuzma. LeBron probably puts up 45 in three quarters. Westbrick gets his jersey retired and then goes 10-for-10 and 8-for-8 for the line with 30, 12 and 10. :)

Knee tendonitis for Kuzma. Def. a tanking move. Giving up. Good. Now play the younger guys as much as possible. F KCP and his 37 minutes. Play Todd a bit as well.

Perfect start for the tank. Paint defense is terrible and Porzingis is bricking shots. :clap:

Nice to see Porzingis half-ass it on the second of a BTB. If we wanted a 7-3 jump shooter, we would have kept a 6-10 Berants.

Deni looking good, but rest of the team awful. Defense is horrific even when LeBron is out. Still not feeling it with Gafford on D.

If you need to make the score is out of reach, put Neto back in. He's the tank closer.

Until this organization takes pride in its defense and stops giving high gives when you give up a bucket, just for trying, we'll never stop anybody.

Back to WestBROOK. If we are going to tank, need to take Sato out and put KCP and Neto back in.

Return to Washington Wizards
