Skin'emAlive Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Man, i dont know how i have the ability to get my hopes up with DC anymore. Secondly, it would be worse than tweaking a knee in practice. It would be something ridiculous. Something like, "Durant tweaks his knee while driving mom to church. Listed as day-to-day. " And a month later, he needs surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 We'll be alright. So long as Wall as good to go this team is minimum .500. If Porter and Pierce and Gortat all come to play, we'll be alright until Beal gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebreaker Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Gotta be GR Jr. Think he has at least earned a shot. I certainly hope so. We'll definitely know what we have in him now. Kinda glad we gained so much depth this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 So who is going to be starting SG until Beal returns? GRJr or maybe even Pierce would be my guess. Until Webster gets back, then probably him. Outside shot Temple starts if they need Pierce at forward and they don't trust GRJr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside shot Temple starts if they need Pierce at forward and they don't trust GRJr. It would be somewhat ironic if we spent all summer increasing the depth of the team only to have to insert Garrett Temple in the starting lineup.

Destino Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I think it's likely Temple starts. WIttman favors vets over inexperience and I don't see him starting Rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) http://www.csnwashington.com/basketball-washington-wizards/talk/does-beals-injury-change-calculus-ray-allen-or-15th-spot Who will start in place of Beal in the short-term? That would have to fall to Glen Rice, the MVP of the Las Vegas summer league, for Sunday's home preseason opener vs. the Detroit Pistons (CSN, 1 p.m. ET). Rice has been projected even before the summer to play a more significant role in the Wizards' future. They believe in him. Whether or not he can be a consistent three-point shooter remains to be seen despite his bloodlines. Rice can score. He can get in the lane, finish through contact and draw fouls. He also is one of the team's best one-on-one defenders. Edited October 12, 2014 by BRAVEONAWARPATH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky21 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Damn. Was hoping it wasn't that bad. Having him, Nene, and Blair unavailable for game one probably means we go small and run Gortat and Seraphin at C and use Pierce and Porter rotating at SF and PF with GRJr working in at SF. I didn't have internet access over the weekend and when I first read your post I thought Nene and Blair had gotten hurt somehow. I see they will both be out due to a very unnecessary, stupid suspension. SMH at the Beal injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That's the dumbest rule ever. Are they really that incompetent that they can't suspend players who do leave the bench to engage in a fight. Vs. those who leave the bench to break one up? Judge them by the result of their actions. Not their actions you think may happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not their actions you think may happen. Agreed. The fact the incident occurred closer to the Bulls bench means, yes, they didn't cross the half-court line. But the 2 Bulls in warmups in the middle of the last picture are clearly involved in the action. The guy on the left is actually restraining somebody. Why does it matter he's not over half-court line? He left the bench to get involved & is clearly involved. Stupid call but the Wiz players should know not to leave the bench.
