PP is proud. He'd look way better with us than Kuzma has.

Yeah, if not for his off the court stuff I think he would've been a good acquisition. That's hard to overlook though. Especially when you have Haslem who already employs Watson.

Every time I watch him, Smart looks like a lockdown defender again and scores 15-17 points. Of course then he usually misses a few games in a row after that. Maybe it's because he's playing too well and they're tanking.

Middleton has been twice as impactful. They have a winning record when Mids plays, and are one of the worst teams of all time when he doesn't.

Yet when he’s played in the month of March the Wizards have been outscored by 36 points, about 3-4 points per game, when he’s been on the floor. Not as positively impactful by your preferred +/- figures.

Why are you shrinking the sample size?

March is a three week sample size, more than half the time he’s been here. It’s also indicative of what he looks like in the middle of a regular season grind which is relevant right now.

Shrinking a small sample into an even greater small sample is just trying to create a narrative.

I missed only 3 Washington games that were played by Middleton in using March numbers. What a false narrative

If they somehow lose several more games in the next 8-10 then they will play Indiana with their full roster most likely to keep the 1 seed and give us a better chance at nabbing the 4 seed.
