GT #82: Bullets @ Hornets 3:30 PM (NBCSW/980 AM) 

Post#1 » by FAH1223 » Sun Apr 10, 2022 12:30 pm

YOUR Washington Bullets are 35-46 and are coming off a tanktastic loss to the NY Knicks!

For the season finale, the Bullets go to Charlotte and finish off the season with the Hornets once again which seems to be a yearly tradition now. The Hornets are still fighting to move up in the Play-In Tournament seeding. With those stakes and how bad of a matchup that they are when the Bullets are healthy, this is looking like a prime L.

It'll be necessary to get another loss to cement the 10th worst record. Can a miracle happen and the Spurs end up winning to push us to 9th??

LET'S TANK! :clap:

Loss here and hopefully SA pulls out one versus Dallas in a meaningless game in terms of seeding as both are locked in their spots.

We need to lose to make sure we don't tie in the standings with the Knicks. There are no tiebreakers in the lottery. You get the same number of lotto balls as the other team with the same record. And a coin flip determines the draft order in a tie.

Charlotte at least has a modest incentive to win. They are competing for home court in the first play-in game against Atlanta.

The Knicks are playing Toronto in a game that means nothing to either team.

As I recall we lost a coin flip not too long ago go, correct.

Yep. Strong start by Deni. Let’s hope he takes this renewed confidence in his game into next season!

It is truly awe inspiring how bad Neto is at running the break.

Ball needs to work on his ball security. He already has 6 turnovers this half...

Rooting for Halcyon to take the prize on win total. If we lose and San Antonio makes it out of the pb, I believe we pick 9th? That would give us a 1 in 5 of picking top 4.

Carey looks stiff, and Todd doesn't look like a basketball player. He just looks awkward out there, maybe that's why he chucks threes at such a prolific clip.

We need Todd, Carey & Schakel on the floor for the rest of the game.

If they cause us to lose it'd be the first time they've done anything positive for the Wizards! :)

Deni needs to come out more focused after halftime. He has struggled in the third quarter with his offense in recent weeks.
