Wizards supporting cast isn't much better this season than it was last season. Westbrook doesn't automatically make them a Playoff team.

If Beal is that good, Westbrook, Bryant, Bertans should be a good enough supporting cast to get at least the 10 seed for a play in game in the East

Well if it is 14 days, sure, but nah if it is only a couple of days of negative tests.

BS ejection. Props to Boogie for walking away from the Morris idiot.

Based on the rule, I believe it was the correct call. I don't believe he tried to hit him intentionally, but I don't believe intention is a deciding factor in this case.

He is definitely making the most of his opportunity. The Pistons could be on the rise soon. Grant, Bey and Hayes (even though he has struggled) a likely top 5 pick this year and I assume they trade Griffin at the break for additional assets.

Okc looking pretty good so far this year at 5-4. I assume they will unload some of their veterans at the trade deadline but maybe it's not suprising they are doing ok so far. They have 2 playoff vets in Horford and Hill, a borderline star in SGA, the greatest defender of all time and forum favorite, and some other long higher upside players.

The thing is I’m not so sure they should be doing this. Presti’s spent like two full seasons now prepping for a tank only for his teams to keep winning enough to hurt the franchise long term. He’s got like 30 extra first round picks to work with but it doesn’t really matter if they don’t suck enough to get their franchise centerpiece (or Poku somehow gains 30 pounds and becomes a star)!

Lots of touches to go around when the best players on your team are zombie Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose.

I’m guessing the winning is unintentional. It’s too early in the season to know if this is sustainable, but what if it is? How far are they willing to go to tank? At this point they might actually have to give up draft capital to trade Horford. Hill can probably be moved. Aside from those two I don’t know what else they can do to get worse.

Right. They have a negative point differential, so you’d expect the losses eventually to catch up with them. This will be a weird season, though, and it’s possible that other factors mean that rule doesn’t necessarily apply.
But I agree that it’s not like they’re doing anything unsustainable in the long run. I believe it’s best to develop your young players within a structure that includes a couple reliable vets. I don’t think you develop your young talent as efficiently if they’re out there flailing around with a bunch of other inexperienced guys.

I think they always said he might be back in January, it’s just that in a normal season that’s a much longer time!

I was going to comment on the Suns losing to the Pistons and Wizards and beating the Pacers but I thought I'd hold off until I see how they do against the Hawks
The fine wasn’t for the hard foul on Lebron? This part of the NBA sucks.
