No report of Brad resting guys and so does the Wiz..
Could this mean both teams will go for the win?
For Brad it will be a barometer of how his team will look like if we do play the Wiz in round one.. If somehow we get blown out.. Will it mean that the Wiz will smoke us in roind one?.
We shall see but this is not gonna be your typical last day of the reg season game... Heck this will probably have PO type feel to it i believe.
Should be a easy win for a healthy Wizzy team. Nader , Semi , and restor the bench playing most mi utes.

Which one goes off for 50? Nader or Semi?
IMO this is a must win for us. Wizards are the last team I want to see round 1 if I had my choice.Brad has said that everyone is playing other than Yabusele whose knee is still sore (and those out for the season). He also said to expect the starters to play a good amount of minutes.
I gotta believe Brad is resting guys though since we're a +7.5 dog right now.
Really do not want to face Washington in round one.

I've been trying to tell you guy, Jaylen is already light years ahead of Kawhi on both sides of the ball, than Kawhi was at Jaylen's age. This isn't to say Jaylen will end up being a better player than KL is now, but geez, you gotta wonder.....

Keep both Brown and Tatum. They are the future of the team.

That was my call on draft night. The thing is, he's come along a lot quicker than anticipated..... He gets more consistent with his mid range game, off the curl, watch out.

There were scant few of us who both predicted and defended Danny's choice two years ago. I went so far as to place my bet in my signature 2 years ago. 3 years left for it to happen!

Morris just not playing well for us tonight
Brown only shooting the ball a couple times simxe first quarter is inexcusable . Blame some of that on the point guard not recognizing who to get the ball to. Seems to happen a lot tho after Brown gets off to a hot start.

Yeah, Rozier has missed him numerous times, but my God why Brad has not got Brown more involved is beyond me.
In fact, this long Wizards run ultimately started when Brad left the bench in too long in the second quarter, which makes literally no sense given that most of the regular rotation guys won't be playing tomorrow night.
This game needs Kyrie!

After the discussion last night, I was under the impression that if MIL loses and MIA loses, but WAS wins, then WAS will end up in 6th over MIL (they apparently own the tie-breaker) and MIA will be 8th with the worst record.
Is this not correct? Does WAS not own the tie-breaker over MIL?

It is because the Wiz want to play Boston in round 1. They know they can beat them and might be the favorite.

Hey, something like that happened in 2015, which pitted us against our worst matchup in the Hawks. It could very well happen, especially as streaky as this Wizards team is and with Wall likely sitting out.
Ugh, Semi is so terrible. I don't understand Brad's obsession with him.I guess they see him as a project , the next Rozier or Smart.
So, yeah, Brown is the only player in double figures. Hard to win a game like that. Tatum, Horford, Rozier, and Morris all having very bad games. I guess that's the upside here.
Well first round sweep it is, mentally ready for it

Honestly, the most likely situation is that MIA and MIL lose while WAS wins. MIA is playing TOR and MIL is playing PHI (who needs the win to finish 3rd). WAS should absolutely beat ORL unless they sit all of their players in an attempt to set up a series against us.

Just a disappointing effort tonight. 3 quarters of really abysmal basketball. That was more disappointing than losing.
Cs are toast if the play WAS in round one. Likely a 4 gane sweep.

Cs are toast if the play WAS in round one. Likely a 4 gane sweep.
Not sure why people keep thinking this. Washington is clearly the worst matchup for us of the three, but I simply don't see where this is a one-sided series, especially given our homecourt advantage. That's a toss-up series to me.
I mean, we had all but one of our top-6 players tonight have a terrible game, yet it was a close game until midway through the 4th.

Wiz have 2 All Stars that can easily take over a series vs an undermanned Cs. They are the worst match up for them and it would be a quick exit for Boston

Beal is in Tatums head so might as well take him out the series. Rozier would need to be huge and having to chase Wall all series good luck with that.
