GT #15: Bullets @ Bucks 8 PM (MSN/980 AM) [In-Season Tournament Game #4]

[FAH1223]

YOUR Washington Bullets are 2-12!

Another game, another blown lead! On Thanksgiving Eve, your Bullets had a 19 point lead which turned into another loss for the tank. It's the 3rd 15+ point lead blown so far this season. I got to hand it to Wes Unseld Jr. He is an amazing tank commander!

On a brighter note, how about Bilal Coulibaly?? His defense on LaMelo Ball down the stretch was terrific. He tweaked his ankle at the end of the game but he looks good to go. Oh to be a teenager with fast healing!

For this Friday night, the Bullets play the Bucks for the 2nd time this week. This is another In-Season Tournament game. The Bullets were eliminated last week.


Milwaukee is coming off a loss to Boston in a game that was much anticipated between two of the Eastern contenders. Boston jumped out to a huge lead, the Bucks clawed back but it wasn't enough. Giannis had one of his worst games of the year, especially with his lack of efficiency. Brook Lopez turned back the clock with a vintage performance while Middleton and Lillard made shots to make the Celtics fans a little nervous.

With that said, its almost a certainty this will be a 'get right' game for the Bucks back home!

Projected Lineups :











Bench:

[tontoz]

Over the last 5 games Poole has missed 58 shots from the field.

If he keeps the misses to single digits i will consider that a win.

I would like a stats sheet for how many players took (hit+miss) 58 shots from the field over the last 5 games..

Poole already nearly at double digit misses and we still have half of the second quarter to go...

This gamble is in shambles.

8 missed shots mid way through the 2nd quarter!

[NatP4]

Dude is just walking across half court and tossing up bricks. It’s time to just cut bait.

[trast66]

Have limited the offensive rebounds and turnovers, which is easiest way for less talented team to compete. Would like to see some more of Johnny instead of Poole.

[tontoz]

Kispert doing his Steph impression with 5 made 3s at the half.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Pretty incredible how little Deni gets to touch the ball on this team. Simply unbelievable that we don't run anything for him or let him initiate some actions more often. You can tell it's frustrating him too.

Obviously not his best shooting game, but impossible for him to get any rhythm with how little the he actually touches the ball.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Kispert doing his Steph impression with 5 made 3s at the half.

Yeah and doing his best turn-style impression too on the Bucks weakest offensive players.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Deni benched down the stretch. Again.

[trast66]

I can’t think of a game they played better this year. Nice play run for Shamet near the end, he just missed it, but had a good game. Need to bring in a backup center if care about winning a few games. Glad Johnny got minutes but when Delon and BC back see no pathway for him to get in game until after trade deadline. Deni out down the stretch again because he was not good enough on D to make up for his negative offense.

[badinage]

This is such a stupid team. Best player is a team player, moves the ball, makes the extra pass, competes — but the rest of the squad is full of gunners. And so, rather than play the right way, they gun — minimizing the effectiveness of their best player so that the mediocrities can pad their point totals.

I can’t take much more of this.

Not the losing. I can handle THAT. But the stupidity. The ugliness. The shot-jacking. The utter lack of aesthetics.

And they don’t dive all over the court, or trap feverishly and desperately, or act as if every possession were game 7 of the Finals — this ought to be the minimum expectation for getting minutes on a 2-12 team.

If you’re not gonna be good, compete your ever-loving *** off.

And if you still can’t keep up, make up a mockery of every game by turning it into scrub-ball.

[Halcyon]

Not Deni's best night. Jones and Shamet raised their trade values tonight.

[Kanyewest]

Missed the game... looks like Poole had a good game from the box score but perhaps Jordan Poole did Jordan Poole things

[TGW]

This was by far pooles best game of the season.

Tyus too

Davis played with that urgency you described.

[9 and 20]

Davis looks like he's trying hard, sure. I still don't really see the skill or the athleticism, or the combination of the two. Not yet, anyway. Hope is dangling by a thread, but it's still there.

Kuz is great and I hope we keep him for a while. He's been our most reliable guy and he seems to have a good attitude.
