GT #37: Thunder @ Bullets 6 PM (MonSportsNet/980 AM) 

Post#1 » by FAH1223 » Sun Jan 12, 2025 8:44 pm

YOUR Washington Bullets are 6-30!!

The losses pile up as they got blown out in Chicago on Friday night.

Tonight, they face OKC for the 2nd and final time this season. They are looking like the favorites to come out of the West. Gilgeous-Alexander seems to be the trendy pick to take the NBA MVP away from Nikola Jokic.

OKC has beaten down Boston and New York this week.

Will this game be as competitive as the one in OKC was a few weeks back?

Oklahoma Sonics - I like it.

Reverse lock. Wiz beat down these scrubs by 25. Johnny Davis breakout game.

OKC is only a 16.5-point favorite.

I think they will win by at least 25.

Disastrous end to the 1st quarter….

OKC are a joy to watch. A well oiled machine.

Kyle Kuzma is a 1-man tanking crew. While that's functional for this year's squad, I'd love to see him traded for a bag of deflated basketballs.

Kyle (send me with draft picks to get me traded) Kuzma. I think we will have him through the end of the season at least, sigh.

Unwatchable - tuning back out.

Kuzma makes the Wizards unwatchable. Selfish brand of bad basketball. Clown.

Poole as a lead guard = many turnovers.

A couple of the little kids playing at halftime have better handles than Poole or Kuzma.

I want to believe the story that the team let Kuzma veto the Dallas trade was a false story planted by Kuz’s agent. If it’s a true story then Winger really needs to apologize to the fan base.

What a brick feast. If I was the GM, I’d make mandatory that everyone with a sub 30% 3pt performance has to shoot 500 3s after every game. We must be the NBA’s worst 3pt shooting team by a mile.

Why was the spread +16.5?

The Wizards were destined to lose by much more.

I remember being a lone voice suggesting Aaron Wiggins could be a decent NBA player.

He's exceeded my expectations.

Thought we had them there at the end. Just ran out of time.

Reserves outplayed the starters again. Even Kyshawn went to the line and went 8 for 8 (though 0 for 5 elsewhere).
