I really hope we lose this game. I'll be actively cheering against this team and for the tank in this game thread

If we limit the minutes of the starters again, it is possible that the Raps could lose this.

With Gradey, Ochai, Ja'Kobe, and Mogbo injured, the guys getting a lot of minutes are the ones who closed last night's game - Castleton, Robinson, Lawson, Rhoden.

Compare that to the Wizards' cap filler veterans that they've picked up like Smart, Middleton, and Holmes, and experience might prevail again over the G-League guys. Lol

After attending part 1 of this series last night and suspecting the "competition" to be ratcheted up for this one, I can't imagine investing anything to go watch this. This is going to be an all out g league game.

I don't think you'll see anyone asking us to sign talentless morons.

This is another must lose game. We have the Nets on our heel for the 5th spot, we need to pull out the clamps and shamelessly put together a 15 game losing streak.

Remember last week when people were trying to claim we weren't tanking?

RJ was laughing in the tunnel and Poeltl is a company man. I think sitting these guys for the young players is the way to go. If Darko misses a timeout at the end I wouldn't be mad, he can justify it in the locker room. They had the beginning of the season to figure out winning basketball and it didn't work out, Barnes has been largely disappointing this year.

Must-lose game if they're actually tanking.

in what way, he was injured for a lot of it. You want tanking but somehow barnes is disappointing?

Perhaps Poolibaly will pull through again.

Bust-lose, but also hard-to-lose. Aka trap

With Poeltl kept out and Robinson driving the offense we can't beat shite. It will be interesting to see if our opponent fights us for the loss.

Bad news, the Wizards are FURIOUS they won last game and have decided to sit Middleton and Smart because it's the first night of a B2B. It's a damn tanking chess match and I think we win tonight.

so i'm confused - is there pro tanking talk or not? its the only thing that matters now + highest odds for the #1 pick.

want to give the Wizards a morale boost so they can feel good about themselves + be better next year with team chemistry,

i think they are a shoo in for 1 of the top odds for the #1 pick lol

Seriously, look at how downtrodden the Pistons were last year.

What's more ethical than making the Wizards feel good about a W?

Hard to gauge from seeing them play the Wizards, but so far I like both Lawson & Rhoden. Excited to go back to Scotiabank tonight for this game
