Game Thread: Spurs at Wizards — MON. 4/26/2021 — 6:00pm/C

[DC23]

A must win given the difficulty of our remaining schedule.

And of course westbrook is out

And of course westbrook is out

hopefully demar is out too

[C-Dub]

It would nice and very beneficial if Rudy and Patty sit this one out.

[Leetonidas]

Wizards have been on a tear recently, don't take this one for granted

[cd98]

Wait, are we trying to win games or win the lottery? I get confused. I know losing gets us better odds of drafting an impact player. And winning gets us at best a play in to lose in the first round. So what is the end goal?

Spurs end goal is 100% to make the play in and try to (not) get swept in the 1st round. We are way too late into the season to begin tanking now, so if the goal was to lose games they should have started by trading all the vets at the deadline.

seems like Pop and co. much prefer getting their young guys playoff seasoning versus tanking at this point

[Elementis]

the young guys are too good to go on a full tank with them. it wouldn't get you down in the rankings anyway, so why not just run with them and try to get them postseason experience.

[Spurs oman]

And of course westbrook is out

Ooh was counting on him for an easy spurs win. Now the spurs need to be on thier A game.
I feel itstime for dj to bounce with a big game

Wizards starters: Westbrook, Neto, Beal, Hachimura, Len

[Rocalcio]

Poeltl’s free throws are just amazing these days, impressive progress in such a short time.

[Dex]

Westbrook is a big fat liar

[Dex]

It was all in his head. He is shooting much more confidently now that he is starting to see them drop

[slick'81]

I want the wiz @100% on an 8 game winning streak when we beat dat ass today

[slick'81]

Yup he wasnt always that bad

[John B]

Why call a mercy time-out?

[Dex]

Yup he wasnt always that bad

I mean...he's never been a good free throw shooter. But he also isn't the 30% shooter that he started with early in this season...teams will now have to think twice before going Hack-a-Jak.

He actually has his season percentage above last season's now despite the terrible start, so good development for the big man.

[poopbox]

Davis turned down a wide open dunk so westbrook could brick a 3

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man Patty is toast, he's playing way too many minutes. Has fell off a cliff and lost his legs throughout the season.

I'm sure Luka and Devin will learn a lot watching Patty and Rudy play in the playoffs

Moreso meant Lonnie and Keldon
