Pregame notes
The Wizards are playing within their strengths— The Wizards are never tanking, but whatever they are doing now feels good: there is no pressure to win, and as long as they are not blown-out in mega-proportions the PR can always find some great stats or a nice highlight in each game.
New-look Pacers as a model of what the Wiz could be — Who knows, maybe the lottery balls align well, the Wiz pick well, Porzingis becomes that star Beal needs, and the team becomes that new force in the East. Ooops, sorry, I should stop dreaming.
Wizards finally have a good point-guard rotation — which leads to the question: why couldn’t the front-office get the point-guard rotation right to start the season when the team had Beal healthy. Well, better later than never.
