Trap game! Teams always seem to have a good spurt when they change coaches, and on top of that - Drummond probably gives them a temporary high - so expect Cleveland to come out strong. Pencil in Drummond for a 25/20/5 game.

Bryant, AP & now Mahinmi all dealing with injuries.

Drummond, Nance Jr and Thompson had double doubles against the Hawks before the All Star break. Love is now expected to play too.

Think I’ll go check out the draft thread...

Drummond again J/C sick and tired of seeing this dude. Wizards will get outrebounded by 20+

Why are you sick and tired of him? The Wizards went 3-1 against Drummond's Pistons, with the only loss taking place because our entire frontcourt (Bryant, Wagner, Hachimura and Bertans) were all out due to injury.

I'm a little concerned that Mahinmi might be out. But if he is playing, I think he and Wagner can hold their own at center.

So you are not tired of a guy that gets 20/20 against the Wiz every time they play them?? Piss poor attitude that gives off bad vibes to teamates and opponents seems like games are always heated when he plays. This guy got a coach fired after playing 2 weeks with a team? Really. But in all he will dominate the Wiz along with Nance jr. and Thompson on the boards I don't care who Wiz throw out there. Ya Wiz beat Detroit 3-1 but Blake did not play in one of their single losses. Blew Wiz out the one he did play.

Bet ALL of your money on Cleveland to beat the spread.

I didn't know AP was injured thought he was back form that ankle thing he had?

It’s his hip. I think it happened in practice before the Knicks game.

Mahinmi has been real nice on D so far. Getting those long arms in the way of the guards when they run pick-and-roll.

41-32 after 1 quarter. On pace for 164-128.

Why do we need a 11 man rotation. Disappointing.

Magic look like they’re losing tonight, if we get this win how many games are we from the 8th seed

Post #19 » by **nate33** » Sat Feb 22, 2020 12:45 am

I'm not sure I like the decision to bring in Wagner. It's tough to rotate three players into one position. Two centers are enough. Brooks took out Bryant when Bryant was playing really well at both ends.

We are 3 games behind the Magic.
