YOUR Washington Bullets are 33-41!

The tank had to have an inevitable stop facing the San Antonio Spurs. But fret not! The Raptors will surely win this one!

Toronto is in the thick of the Play-In push and has played better basketball over the last month. They force the most turnovers and that's a recipe for a sure-fire loss for Wes Unseld Jr.'s crew.

Hopefully the Pacers and Blazers can start winning to help the tank!

I mean this is the obvious position. I’ve always respected Aldridge for being critical of the Wizards without being too critical, but he needs to take the gloves off.

I like how snuck in the Spurs situation and Popovich’s quote about why he’s sticking around for their first true rebuild in his tenure.

Kispert is full on tank commanding with a -28 in the first half alone.

Gafford doing his best Wizard's era JAvale McGee impersonation tonight.

A couple of possessions where he strapped up Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam. Kid is tough.

The game was over once WUJ has decided after a great momentum that involving Nunn is more important than winning the game.

I'm harsh on Deni lately, but I loved the glimpses he has shown in this game. He's so much better when he decides to be aggressive and being given the green light to handle the ball. Loved that he tried this time driving left a few times and loved that creative pass to Prozingis.

On the other hand, his three point shooting wasn't good enough and he still tends to disappear for too many stretches instead of showing he can be a consistent focal point. He's going to have a crucial summer with Drew Hanlen.

JD sometimes looks like the worst player in the league and sometimes he looks like someone who can actually develop into an NBA player, like today, which is a good progress considering a few weeks ago he has looked only like the worst player in the league.

Kispert continues his very good shooting form, but his defense is still a problem.

Missed this one. Delighted to see Johnny Davis stat line. It looks like Deni had a good game too, bar the 1/4 from 3 and a few turnovers.

The Bulls won tonight, erasing any and all doubt that the Wizards are now out of the play-in. They are 3.5 games behind the Bulls for 10th, and the Bulls have the tiebreaker.

The Magic won too, and are now just 1 game behind the Wizards. The Blazers are a half-game behind. So the Wizards are now 1 game out of the 5th place seed in the lottery!

It might be easier to catch Orlando than Portland at this point.

Be happy you didn't listen to it. CM has become even more cringeworthy.
