GT #30: Knicks @ Bullets 7 PM (NBATV/MonSportsNet/980 AM) [12/30/24]

[FAH1223]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 5-24!!

After an overtime thriller, the Knicks and Bullets battle again on some Monday night hoops!

Jalen Brunson scored a 50-burger and went left whenever he wanted, Justin Champagnie came out of nowhere to drop 31 and 10, and Brian Keefe had the 19 & 20 year olds playing together in lineups that had the Knicks down in the 2nd half.

Jordan Poole sat out Saturday's game due to a hip injury he suffered in the win against the Hornets. No idea if he suits up for this rematch.

Will the young guys come out to get a rare win against the Knicks and their fans in DC?

Projected Lineups :











Bench:

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

I've never seen consecutive home games against the same opponent, besides in the playoffs.

Brunson had 55. KAT had 34 and 11. Hart had a near triple-double. All that and the Knicks only won because of the FT disparity

This game I doubt the Wizards will shoot as well, particularly from 3PT.

This makes a huge difference if he’s not playing. Much more impactful than a Kuzma return, if either one is true.

Kuzma missed both foul shots.

59-57 Knicks at the half

Go Wizards!!

[BearlyBallin]

Not good Bub took a knee to the head.
Leaves the court in a wheelchair.

Concussion maybe?

Kuzma missed both foul shots.

59-57 Knicks at the half

Go Wizards!!

Kuzma is back. 4,-9 for 9 points.

Coulibaly, Champagnie, and George so far have scored 6, 3, and 1 point. On 1-8, 1-6, and 0-4 shooting. 2 for 20.shooting.

Tank Commander Kuz.

Concussion maybe?

Post Traumatic Headache. Probably as a result of concussion. Probably out a week or so best case.

Kyshawn does several things well but he really needs to make shots to be useful and his shooting has been awful.

Watching tonight thought he should have stayed in school, take NIL, and be in this draft. I don’t think G league would be good for him at all. Some bricks tonight that could have injured someone. We really need a scorer around the guys we drafted who as you say do several good things aside from shooting.

No. In this draft, he might not even go in the first round.

[Parraknick]

Well played these last two games. Hopefully you guys continue developing your players well. Some great pieces!

I don't think so. Kyshawn got drafted in the first round. I don't think he would have done much better in this upcoming draft which has more talent.

Also, I think Kyshawn is about as NBA ready as a typical rookie. He is pretty fundamentally sound across the board except for the ball not actually going in the basket enough when he shoots it.

Here's to performing even better in the rematch.

Unfortunately, as buoyed as I was after the 1st game (v Nix), the last game brought me back to earth.
Having to take Bub off the court in a wheelchair was the frosting on that cake. Hopefully he'll be back soon.
That said, head injuries can be slow to heal.

Sarr was a bright spot.

Kyshawn reverted to his awful shooting, couldn't throw it in the ocean. It would be really encouraging
if he could put together a stretch of 6-8 games where he shot well.

Champagnie fell back to earth after several very nice games.

Still a sorta close game halfway through the 3rdQ, but overall, not very good at all.
