Yeah. Kind of a weird season/place for the Raps. I don’t think we can outtank the Wizards or Jazz. Who knows about the Pels and Sixers. We’ve played better than our record suggests. The new guys, who are all bench pieces, have overperformed relative to expectations. I think the Raps ought to try to compete for most of the season so we can actually evaluate the team with the main guys playing together - how good are they, what do they need, etc… If I had to guess we’ll play competitively for most of the season, and then I could see intentionally playing Scottie and Jak fewer minutes in the last 2 months to tank. It’ll be interesting to see what happens

Close game. Raps come away with it. StaRJ Barrett shines: 37/7/5 on 15-20 shooting

This could hurt our chances at Bailey or Harper
