The Tank Watch has expired. Time to cheer to win again!

The Wizards still need to go at least 3-7 the rest of the way to avoid the worst winning percentage in franchise history. Right now, they are on pace to win just 14 games. “You just want to come and finish strong, with a good push. Show some pride,” Shelvin Mack said. “Don’t try to tank it in, just because the season is over with, compete every day and try to get better.”

Noooooooo

The players are supposed to play hard and try to win. It is up to the coaches/mgt to get their tank on (ie sitting Nene/Booker).

we have a 3 game cushion

2 games left vs CLE, 2 vs CHA

if we want to insure the 2nd worst, we need to lose some
of those 4 games (because I really want to beat MIA on 4/26)

Go Hornets!

MIA will probably sit out the Big 3 against us because it'll be there last game, so that game probably won't be meaningful.

We play them twice. Sat, Apr 21 is not the last game so they will still be playing. And even the last game of the year may be meaningful since they are still in the running for first place in the league. They are two games out right now.

Jarrett Jack out for the duration of the season...

closg00 · Post #208 » by **closg00** » Mon Apr 9, 2012 7:20 pm

Dang, NOH will have to use Gordan as a back-up to Grevis or use a call-up. Either way it they will be hard to catch.

Back-to-back wins. The tank is looking like it got off track lol.

Crap. 1 game lead on New Orleans, 9 for us to play, and their schedule is much harder than ours. There's a huge danger of us slipping to 3 unfortunately, I still see almost no chance of us slipping to 4 at least.

7-Day Dray · Post #213 » by **7-Day Dray** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 7:52 pm

We're actually 2.5 games up on New Orleans.

At least the Cavs have won 2 of their last 3 thanks to Hudson going off. The Kings and Cavs have 19 wins so it looks like 3rd place is the worst case scenario.

That Hornets win was huge.

The Consiglieri · Post #219 » by **The Consiglieri** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:13 pm

Looking, i see 3-4 possible wins for us, and about 2-4 for them. Will go down to the wire.

dobrojim · Post #220 » by **dobrojim** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:15 pm

I see only 2 more Ws for NOH, GSW and CHA
I see minimum 3 for us, CLE(2x) and CHA. If it plays out that way, we win!

but we're capable of winning more. As much as I want the highest pick possible,
I would be very happy with Ws against MIA, NY or CHI.
