GT #54: Bullets @ Kings 10 PM
The tank has stalled after three wins in the last 4 games of the road trip. Will the Wizards' winning ways continue? Or will Brooks get the tank back on track by playing 3 PG's and encouraging Westbrook to shoot off-the-dribble midrange jumpers with 15 seconds on the shot clock?

Huge game. Kings are not that far behind in the tankathon. Need this L.

With the team finally healthy, Westbrook hitting his typical mid season stride, and a weaker 2nd half schedule... the play in is inevitable

Hmmmm, not 1 Team, 1 Goal, 11th seed and the number one pick
So, tough to choose on this tankathon game!

How does the play-in effect the lottery?

I believe nate (or someone else) said in another thread that 9-15 seed remain unchanged in the lottery, still just using w-l for lottery position. Not sure if that is confirmed.

Let's also no forget that, even if we get the 10th seed and make the play-in tournament, we'd still have to win two road games against the 7th seed (probably NY or Miami) before we actually make the playoffs and possibly get eliminated from the draft lottery.
I don't see this team winning two consecutive road games against the 7th seed.

We'll need a 40/20/20 game from Russ and then a 60 point game from Beal. The winning shot will be on a 540 degree pirouette left-handed hook shot by Lopez.

In the event of a tie, Avdija will play Halliburton in a game of Horse____.

The only play that will be on both Sportscenter top 10 highlights and their bloopers show.

Good start. With the Bulls loss to Orlando, if we beat SAC we are 1 game behind them...

Yeah, the tank has stalled. That was a great first quarter. So who said that Beal and Westbrook don't get back on defense? How about the entire Kings' team?

And the bad Westbrook has shown up. The good Whiteside has shown up.
