I forgot Washington picked up Smart. They are going to win out now. We can remove them from the tanking teams.
We should play this young team every game now down the stretch.
No reason not to anymore.

If for no other reason than to properly assess where they’re at in their development. I’d personally like to see a starting lineup of Collier, Sensabaugh, Williams, Martin and Filupowski with Keyonte as the 6th man/microwave scorer off the bench.
If it were any other teams they would absolutely do this, not sure why the reluctance from the Jazz?
Is it so that they can sell a few more beers and hotdogs?
Jazz lose by 2

Just not true.
Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum are playing for the pelicans.
Lamello, bridges, nurkic all have been playing for the hornets.
Wizards played Kris Middleton last night in their win.

The Jazz have probably been the most prolific offender of sitting healthy guys to date.
The Midnight is stupidity personified

I believe the Hornets are to be feared in the tank race. We have to up our tank game.
They also picked up Middleton. Obviously they will sit guys, but they are unironically significantly better on paper with Middleton+Smart instead of Val+Kuzma.
Unfortunately I think it means they win some games against our other tanking competition, but they are too far for us to catch up.

NO and Charlotte is all we need to worry about. And yes if Washington wins against those teams that is a bad thing.
I was just kidding with he Marcus Smart post, but have you looked at Washington's remaining schedule? I just took a look and they have a ton of winnable games. They have 15 more games against the bottom 11 + 2 games against Orlando who has been awful.
It's a super long shot and I agree we should be hoping that they beat Charlotte on Saturday (their only remaining game against NOP or CHA), but I am starting to think it might be possible that they are catchable.
Unless the Wizards go on a 3 game win streak they are pretty safe.
That being said....
Their next 4 games are Blazers, Hornets, Heat, and the Jazz, so it's not impossible.
Then after that they have a B2B Home/Road with the Raptors. So it could get interesting.

Their next 5 games are Portland, Charlotte, Miami, Utah, TOR, TOR.
They could win 3 out of 5. I'm not saying it's likely, but way more possible than I thought before looking at their schedule and now that they have some more rotation players on their team.
There will be some intense ****ery in these upcoming games.
