GT #28: Nets @ Bullets 7 PM (NBCSW/980 AM)

FAH1223 · Post #1 » by **FAH1223** » Mon Dec 12, 2022 3:39 am

YOUR Washington Bullets are 11-16!

LOSERS of 9 out of the last 10 games, they currently hold the 6th best odds in the NBA Draft Lottery :clap:

Rumors of the trade deadline have already started and Kyle Kuzma according to one source wants out of DC!

Read on Twitter

The Bullets keep losing games late, Wes Unseld Jr. has made some head scratching rotation decisions, and Tommy Sheppard escapes any blame in the media.

The Nets meanwhile rested their top guys and came out with a narrow win against the Pacers on Saturday. They're back over .500 and firmly in postseason positioning.

Another easy Nets win is on the cards and the tank rolls!!!

Will we see big minutes for Kispert and Avija with little point production for another close loss. Its becoming annoying that they're not able to take advantage of this opportunity.

I hate, hate, hate the Nets. Especially Joe Harris, who I think is a dirty player, but really all their big-name players.

2 TO
2 Misses i guess
4 straight offensive possessions by the team coming out from halftime. And that's what we see.
Horrible.
KP is getting the ball in the post. Everyone else just standing and waiting for him to put the ball in the basket. I'm sorry that's not basketball. This may be some variant of the game I love. Oh yeah and they're about to score on us 140 points.

Will Barton is just so dang awful

This team is sick. The offense is giving the ball to KP in the post for everyone else to watch him, or Kuz taking a ball and runs coast to coast. You don't have any place for Kispert or Deni. Well at least they gave him the ball to start the game right? Poor team performance. The only one I love in here is Goodwin.

This is a serious tankalicious lineup

We're really about to lose a lot with the upcoming schedule. Our real target should be getting Wembanyama.

I hate the Barton ,Kuz shoot the ball offense while doing nothing on the defensive side of the ball

Porzingis out for the rest of the game with “back tightness”…Tank must go on!

tleikheen · Post #13 » by **tleikheen** » Tue Dec 13, 2022 1:56 am

KP decides to sit out the rest of the game

80sballboy · Post #14 » by **80sballboy** » Tue Dec 13, 2022 2:08 am

KP back tightness means Kuzmashootalotta.

Man, it is so tough to get into the NBA and I don't mind the product. It's the fact that so many guys are sitting out for various injuries that back in the 70s-90s, guys would play through.

So true, was looking at minutes played in 70s and 80s by top guys and they did not miss many games. Look at Big E and Wes, iron men.

Are we sure Rui hasn’t retired?

I seriously suddenly feel more optimistic for this team than I have in a couple of years!

They suck.

Best player hurt?

The chances to get a generational player in the draft are going up by the day.
The chances that they'll get a new GM are going up by the day.
The chances they'll actually trade Kuzma for future assets are also improving.

You mean the Wizards continue to have players that get injured that don’t play? Go figure.

Brad is going to mess this up.

Watch him play well and get us wins.

This is some pretty impressive tanking! 7 losses in a row. 10 of their last 11.

And we're about to start a 6-game west coast road trip where 5 of the 6 opponents are above .500. And the sixth team (the Lakers) are 11-15 but have won 9 of their last 14.

YOUR WINNER..
