Knowing others is intelligence;

mastering yourself is true power.

Get to see development, and possibly a win, why not?
One thing I'm curious about, is what percentage of fans have tuned out for most of the games(on purpose), and are upset about lottery odds decreasing.

I think Ja'Kobe has "vet status" you know, too good to "tank" so they'll bring him along slowly.
The holy trinity of NBA SGs is
Jordan, Kobe, Walter (Ray Allen)
Add Ja'kobe Walter as the 4th for the "Holy Quad " (it just also happens to be his injury).
He also a religious guy, so
Jesus Shuttlesworth Jr. Or Jesus Shuttlesworth II would be a great nickname.

last 25 games, 13-12
drtg is 111.4 which is 7th best overall and only .3 behind 5th best.
out of the top 10 defenses during that time, we are the only team with a negative net rating at -1.4

This is the game where we grab the 11th seed and zero in on 10th. Should be an easy W.

And here I thought only other teams got to pad stats and records against bad teams

As anticipated RJ and Poeltl out one night, Scottie and IQ out the next.
I have more faith in RJ and Poeltl understanding the task on hand and occasionally taking their foot off the gas to help secure the L.
I foresee a Wizards win tonight.

Barnes should be the first option here for the tank. But this is a half measure. I am guessingw the tank is being screwed by Mogbo, RJ, and Dick being out.

This is true. Problem is there is no free lunch. By playing guys like Mogbo, Dick and Ja'Kobe more, there was higher chance that they would get injured - especially because all three don't fully know how much is too much for their bodies i.e how hard gradey goes to the rim, Ja'Kobe in overdrive yesterday, and how hard Mogbo goes in general (I know it's a nose this time).

That isn't true at all, there are plenty of rookies taken in the lottery who don't get serious injuries.

Hopefully Pereira loses and then Jones stops running scared from Aspinall and fights him this summer.

I think this will be a loss. We have no shooters except for Battle, IQ, Dick, Walter and Ochai are all out. The spacing will be nasty.
