This looks like a pretty sure loss. Kawhi and George are both playing. The Clippers had a day of rest while the Wizards are on a back-to-back with a short-handed roster.

I'm confident the Wizards will be significantly outplayed. The only way they win is with significant variance in 3P shooting heavily in their favor.

Is this a new Tanking board tradition where whoever makes the game thread for a loss makes the next one? Fine by me. Keep the losses coming FAH.

Win or lose, he makes great game threads!

Apart from obvious late season tank games, this is the first time in my 6 decade fandom that I’m actually routing for the other team. John Wall, bumbaya.

And yes AFM, I’m THAT old.

I am 100% rooting for John to go for career highs. Stick it to Turd.

Not normally big on betting, but the Clips are favored by five and the Wizards are without-
Bradley Beal
Rui Hachimura
Monte Morris
Will Barton
Delon Wright

And on the second of a back to back.

And Wall will be motivated.

Man, that's going to be a pretty thin rotation for the Wizards:

It's basically a starting five of:

PG Goodwin
SG Kispert
SF Avdija
PF Kuzma
C Porzingis

The only bench is Gafford and Gill

Great pass from Deni to Goodwin on the break.

Is Davis available? Seem like it be a little cruel to put him out there with as much perimeter depth as the Clippers have, but got to start somewhere.

10-0 start. Wall playing that ole' defense against Kuz for the easy dunk. They went to Wall in the post right away and that's a bucket normally. But Goodwin is in, not Morris.

Davis is not but Todd, Carey, and Dotson are in uniform.

Deni back-to-back threes.... finally.

Miss that speed from John but doesn't seem to have that lift quite like he once did, which is understandable.

Yeah, Deni George is rolling!

Get that **** out of here!

I think we see where this is going but you can tank and still root for the young guys. There just is not enough bench. Would hope to see some Todd, but I doubt we see Carey barring foul troubles at center.

If Goodwin keeps shooting the three this well, how does he not start over Morris if WUJ is a serious coach?

I do miss that Wall lefty finish. Nobody did it better with his off hand slashing to the basket and many times dunking it left-handed.

I guess with the injury issues to PG and Kawhii, Ty Lue can't really stagger and without Reggie Jackson in the rotation and no Wall on the bench, their second unit looks horrific.
