Late GT: Bulls Vs. Wizards 3/3/15

We have to have a thread...just for Mirotic. Back to back 20+ games and he is just getting started. This guy is going to be a 6th man stud for years.

Nene just laid out Noah.

Nene just laid out Noah.

Earlier in the game or that thing where noah just fell on the floor to give him his sixth?

Guessing earlier based on time stamp now.

Great time to have Noah in fantasy basketball.

yeah he smacked him real hard across the face while noah was going up for a layup...refs called it a flagrant.

nene really hates the bulls.

Great time to have Noah in fantasy basketball.
He is finally looking like himself again...Great Defense, running the offense through him and just flat out hustle plays. I think the Bulls can tread water and stay in the top 3-4 if he keeps this up and Niko and Snell can really step up until Butler and Rose come back for the playoff run.

Bulls tried to give this one to the Wizards down the stretch, but the Wiz can't seem to hit anything.

Pau season has been impressive. As a fan I was expecting a good season but not that good. Averaging more rebounds and blocks than ever. Love him.

What has happened to the Washington Wizards?

And, was Wall's improved perimeter shooting over the last year or so a mirage? Can we make that leap yet? Over his last 22 games, he is averaging 16.9 points on 43.2% FG (not that bad) and 26.1% 3PT (horrendous).

He continues racking up assists, but even those are down slightly in the last 20 games or so and he is still averaging just under 4 turnovers per game, which is among the highest in the league.

Most importantly, they're 5-13 over the last 18. The 5 wins are against the Nuggets, Lakers, Magic, Nets and Pistons.

I wish I had time to watch every NBA game every night, but unfortunately I have to base a lot of my opinions on what I see in the boxscores/advanced metrics.

This was supposed to be a team challenging for the EC crown coming into the season. I'm surprised at just how badly the tailspin has gotten, especially since Wall has remained healthy throughout this horrendous run.

Has the league figured out how to defend him better in the last year or so?

Are they just not fitting together well?

Is it a chemistry issue?


Obviously, the loss of Beal alone wasn't the problem. They were on a five-game losing streak before he went out and, now that he's back, they're not looking any better.

Any Wiz fans want to give some insight?

2 teams who fell off the face of the Earth.

No one besides Wall can really create their own shot

Beal has gone backwards since last season, losing Ariza doesn't help.
