The Wizard are favored by 11pts.
I expect us to keep it close but I hope the Wiz get the win.

Dumbass ref, making it all about him and kicked Morris out.... More motivation for ATL

Hard to believe that just a year ago in April we were playing in Washington in a first round playoff series. How things can change so quickly.

Good job, less ping pong balls in May.

I miss the playoffs even if I only expected yo see the second round. Now, let's hope for the best in the upcoming draft, and finding a true star player.

My dreams of Ayton are gone now. Now we are just 50/50 for Luka :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

:P

Washington coach was crying after the game. He felt that his players just weren't really enthused with the game.
They are in the playoffs right now and we are trying to sink to the bottom. Naturally, the Hawks won. Apparently
our Bay Hawk Boys Have gone back to their playoffs.

Fans torn between wanting to tank for that (Hopefully) great draft pick and hating every loss while knowing that
it's a necessary evil if we are to end up with that desirable draft pick.

Drat! Drat! Drat! Apparently, our tank has broken down. Gotta get it fixed for the nest two games.

Can't be mad at Prince leading us to this win - young players learning how to close out games is important for our future. He made the right play everytime down the stretch.
Our pick odds haven't changed with this win, we just have to keep pace with Orlando for the next 2 games.

I'm not that upset with this win tbh. The young guys led us and it was a glimpse into the future. Also, screwing over the Wizards is always a plus as far as I'm concerned.

Our pick odds don't change like Jayu said. I've made peace with the fact that we'll be the 3rd worst record at this point. I do wish Orlando and Dallas would each win one more so that I can genuinely root for a win against Philly in the season finale.

On another bright note with a gloomy win:
Bembry started - hit a 3, had a move to score in the 2nd quarter, that made me smile (can't find a clip about 8:30 in 2nd) and can still do this....

Yeah, 'Zard fans' tears are a tremendous salve. They're cap'd out and going nowhere but are too enamored with Wall's star-ness(sic) to realize it.

They are all out, resting or out injured.
Should make for an exciting game if they have enough left to play !!
