The Wizards came into tonight’s game with a 14-8 EWL, good for fifth in the league.

If any Wizards fans are unhappy with the team’s performance, they had unrealistic expectations for the season. Despite the basketball gods gifting Otto Porter to them, they still haven’t found a way to crack fifty wins in a hopelessly-weak East. They spent too much money on the wrong players, IMO. I’d expect them to be the next Hawks or Clippers, blowing up their “star”-laden team after failing to make much of an impact past the second round. There is no way they compete with Cleveland or Boston in 7.

Donovan Mitchell and Alec Burks of all people have been tearing it up. Washington without Wall is a borderline playoff team at most.

There are teams needing a point guard so if we don’t call Burke up soon someone else probably will.

John Wall is out and Steph Curry left the court on crutches tonight to name two.

If the choice is between Burke and Sessions then by all means just play Burke, based on age alone. I think both should not be getting minutes but Hornacek has seemingly decided Baker is exclusively a 2 guard, and there’s literally 0 point in having Sessions on the roster.

I just checked the Westchester Knicks boxscore tonight. Burke scored 39 points including 6 for 7 on threes. And he was a plus 29.

Washington just lost to the Jazz 116 to 69. That is some score. Washington at 12 and 11 so far has got to be a big disappointment for their fans.

Burke has been a bad pro for 4 years and will probably be bad for us. But he’s relatively young so there’s a tiny chance he has another level. Might as well waive Sessions for him.

Burke would profoundly change the team for the better. I’ve watched him play some this year and am convinced that he would be a difference maker. At least on offense. I want him to take Jack’s minutes.

Some combo of Sessions, Jack, Lee, Oquinn, and lance should go. What’s a good haul? Losses.

Like clockwork…
This is the moment the past’s win-now becomes wish-we-hadn’t-won-those.
