Julius just jammed his finger. Hope it's not sprained or broken or anything.

Take him off.

Heard there’s a guy in attendance wearing a red AD clown shirt trying to get AD’s attention on the bench

[Tinman]

10 points and 6 rebounds in the first half for Christian Wood tonight, and some key hustle plays.

I believe Kendrich will be a in seats 9-12 on the bench next year. Wood will be in the rotation.

Could be. Wood definitely has the potential, but I think it depends on who we end up drafting/keeping in FA. If we end up with Zion + Randle in the PF spot, and Okafor in the C position, who knows if Wood will get regular minutes?

[Pelicanidae]

You know the defense is weak when Javale McGee can dribble the ball fullcourt, cut through the paint around three defenders (none of whom move even two feet in either direction) and lands the jump hook. Amazing.

[Pelicanidae]

Absolute sin that Wood is playing so little tonight.

Caruso has a lot of bounce for a dude who looks like an accountant

[DaFranchise80]

Gentry must’ve been hearing us. He has his tank lineup in right now.

He read my game thread OP tonight.

[Pelicanidae]

Down 21 as the 4th starts.

Lost the 3rd by 22.

Looks like he belongs in "Boogie Nights"

[Pelicanidae]

Awful shooting game for Wood tonight. Just dreadful.

[Tinman]

Memphis may actually be trying to WIN, to keep their 2021 pick. It's probably worth more than picking 8th this year.

[DaFranchise80]

Welp, all of the pro tankers got their wish tonight.

Possibly. It would make some sense, especially if they think they can tread water until then with Conley, JJJ, etc.

[Pelicanidae]

Welp, all of the pro tankers got their wish tonight.

Delayed gratification. Lose now to win later.

[Pelicanidae]

Good loss.

Wood: 15 points, 11 rebounds, a steal and a block. Started incredibly inefficiently, improved towards the end.

Randle's finger is fine.

If they were smart they would be trying to win. They should have tried to win even more this year and just give up a late lottery pick.

Still, even if it's the 8th pick this year that's less valuable than the 2021 1st. Especially when you consider they are probably trading Conley this summer and will try to be bad for a couple years. Better to lose the pick now.

Solid game by the bigs tonight.. Good loss.

Agreed.

C'mon, Memphis and Washington!

Go Wiz ! This has been a LOVELY night, thus far.

[13 - 3]

Jokic getting ejected is great for the Pels tank
