I also assume Bertans is playing, so the injury report in the OP should be updated.

The Jazz haven't lost a game since they got Jordan Clarkson. 8-0 since December 23rd.

Other than the Clippers they have not beaten anyone special in that span, still impressive. Probably 9-0 after tomorrow when they beat another bottom feeder. Wiz sucks on Sundays and they hardly ever beat the Jazz.

After that first sentence, I was getting ready to post that the Wizards are not anyone special either. But you made the same point.

Anyone familiar with the logical fallacy post hoc ergo propter hoc?

I hope and pray that Beal will start in place of Thomas, but I'm sure that's not the case. Brooks will likely bench either Payton or McRae.

I'm really kind of interested in seeing how the team fares with Beal and Bertans to help with the offense and with Mahinmi to bolster the defense. Can we be, say, the 25th worst defense in the league instead of the 30th?

Give me a starting lineup of Payton, Beal, McRae, Bertans and Mahinmi and a bench of Ish, Beal/McRae, Brown, Bonga and Bryant.

Beal playing limited minutes? Expecting Brooks to have him out there for 30+

Replace IT with McRae and it looks good.

Man, Brooks is making me HATE Isaiah Thomas with a passion. And I really shouldn't feel that way. It's not IT's fault that they keep playing him.

Donovan Mitchell out due to illness. Announced by Miller in pregame show.

Ughh.. Caron Butler literally adds nothing to the broadcast. I actually prefer Gooden
