Force them to build up their shooting rythm while tanking for the draft.

you think he'll be down for that?

Knees and ankle braises are double edged sword. They prevent some injuries but they can just as easly lead to even worst injury if force is enough to break bone above or below brace. Smh. Hoping Isaac is fine .

19 PTS 8 REB and he's a +17 with almost 15 minutes left in the game.

C'mon now.

All road wins are good wins. Losing Isaac sucks, but he himself said he thinks it is not a major injury.

This win (almost) makes up for the Hawks loss.

I guess the fact they lost the first and second quarter by a score of 31-29 meant the score was too close for comfort, so they played the bench big minutes in hopes of falling behind to a team missing two of its best players (Isaac and Gordon).


That's how the game is viewed by Yahoo! fantasy analyst, lol. Do we really want to pat ourselves on the back for such game?

So they played Beal 30 minutes after injury( and he was on pace for 34 before we blew them) becouse they wanted to lose? Analyst is dumb or from Washington.

Solid win under the circumstances, even though obviously the opponent is terrible. But it sure was lucky we played a historically bad defensive team because so many of the players we had to use in this one are just dreadful offensively. The number of poor offensive players on this roster is pretty absurd. They did their job defensively at least, Birch in particular, but against NBA level defense this could have been really ugly.

DJ with a great game, a shame he can't do this more often. Fultz was quite good too, good to see him making some midrange shots, he struggled mightily with them in December.

Hopefully the report that Isaac has avoided a major injury is correct, this was a scary moment.

Amile Jefferson hit a FT with ~15 seconds left that KEPT Washington fans from a free Chick-fil-A.

What a way to wrap up a 20 point road win !

He had a lot of eye-catching rebounds. Really worked hard!

And the +13 stat line is a real gem !!!!! Given that Jefferson was essentially a starter this game, very, very nice work.

He's just a smart player. He stays in his lane, doesn't expose any of his weaknesses, I really enjoyed watching him play.
