Worried that Washington is so far out now, they may start to tank....they are 5 games out...a will be 5.5 games out if the Heat hang on against the Spurs.

I guess it would be best if the Spurs beat the Heat to keep Washington trying.

Wizards organization are stupid though. Owner and the coaching staff constantly preached all season that they never tank.

They are capable of getting big wins. Hence why Beal and Parker are still playing. They are however, also capable of disappointing losses because they suck like that.

Heat going to win.....Wiz will be 5.5 games back with only 10 games left. They still play us, Chicago, Phoenix and the Knicks.

as long as we lose to WAS and NOP, we have a good chance to pass them. our sched is tough and we're really tanking ---- and they have a good amount of winnable games left. we lose to them, most they can out-tank us by is 1 game, really close

if I am not mistaken...the ties in the lottery go to a coin toss....it has nothing to do with who won what during the season....it is going to be hard to get below 8.

I would shut him down. Just run out that lineup from the Bucks game for the rest of the season.

Go Mavs!

If Lakers tie for 8/9, the coin pick will decide on if they are slotted 8th or 9th, but it won't change the odds. They just average the odds for the 8th and 9th and both teams get equal odds.

We needed the Wizards to win this game, not the Grizzlies. Wizards and Pelicans are teams we most likely can beat in the tank race so we need them to win as much as possible.

That 16 point comeback a few games back might come back to haunt us.

The tank truly is an art form these days.

Wizards have 5 winnable games:
Heat
Bulls
Lakers
Suns
Knicks

Nop has maybe 2/3:

Suns
Lakers
Hornets
2 against kings at home

Grizzlies has 3/4
At magic
At suns
2 against Dallas
Last game against warriors where they will rest players

While we are battling for that 8 spot, looking for the Wizards and Pelicans to win, real quietly the 11th/12th spots T-wolves and Bobcats are losing and staying right on our heels.

Looking at that list I see it like this at this point....

6th: Mavs 30 wins
7th/8th/9th: Lakers,Grizzlies/Pelicans all with 32 wins
10th:Wizards 33 wins

Luckily Minnesota and Charlotte play each other still. Charlotte also plays NOP.
