Boylan's promotion and Lauri's return have led to diminishing numbers for Wendell. Nice to see him breakthrough with another big game.

Watching CHI slowly implode under their new coach gives me a new appreciation for the job Lloyd is doing as a rookie HC.

NOTE: It's a distinct possibility that...Jim Boylan isn't good at his job.

The Bulls are in a similar spot as us in terms of where they are in their development. They’ve gathered some nice young pieces for their core (Wendell Carter, Lauri Markkanen ect.), but that team won’t do anything as long as they have GarPax making all of their big decisions.

This is a kid I would have liked at #30 or #34 had we kept Luka.

A similar player to Marcus Smart, he's looked great early.

I predict that come playoff time, Harden will be burnt out - he's focused on winning MVP and scoring streaks.

Washington is just one-and-a-half games from eighth place in a weak East.

Beal has emerged in recent years as one of the best players at his position, but without another All-Star in the back court vying for shots and control of the offense, he has become so much more than that. In 12 games without Wall this season, Beal is averaging 31.5 points and 7.1 assists over 40.9 minutes with a 58 true shooting percentage. The Wizards have gone 5-4 since John Wall’s been out.

Since December 28, the Wiz have a top-10 offense and a middle-of-the pack defense. Their net rating is plus-3.2, six points better than their mark on the season. The success has been a direct product of handing Beal the keys to the car and letting him drive. With Wall, the offense is a monster truck bouncing up and down the dirt track; with Beal, it drives like a Tesla.

Even Beal, as good as he’s been the past two seasons, has been floated as a possible trade candidate; when you owe Wall an outrageous sum of $170 million over the next four years, desperate measures are in order.

Suddenly, the Wizards have life again. In its past three games, Washington has beaten Philly and Milwaukee, and pushed Toronto to the brink.
