I think Rudy should sit this one. Call it load management or toothache but there is a need to test a rudy-less lineup. Come playoff time teams will want to take him out early and get him into foul trouble. We should prepare.

No minutes = no stats = no recognition = no all-stars or all-nba = no interest for Rudy to be in a small market

Random thoughts:

I like Admiral Schofield and Gary Payton II. It'll be cool seeing them play us.

Pasečņiks has to be one of the best two-way players in the league.

Also, Thomas Bryant loves anime and drawing. This means he and Rudy are destined to be pals.

The wizards are weird.

One night they smash the celtics and the nuggets next night get smashed by the hawks.

Ordinarily, I would be worried about us playing a team with half of its players out with injuries, because we often treat it as a gimme -- with disastrous results. Not this time, because our bench is hungry to show us what they bring to game.

Horsecrap. Teams 2-5 are all tied in the loss column, so we can't afford to lose a game from "testing."

Hoping this isn't going to be some trap game. The Wiz did beat Denver and Boston at their homecourt.

More game girl - I’m trying to add a little “local flavor” to each game thread. . .

D.C.’s contribution currently lives in Utah - just outside Park City.

Jesus Christ, peak Eva Mendes was the best time to be alive. Training Day was overall meh except for her.

Eva make a white boy beg for leche

This one scares me because of the time the game is played. It is a game they should win but Washington is capable of beating good teams.

This. Early tips on the road always make me nervous, regardless of the opponent.

Donovans out due to illness.

Damn..

They are missing Beal and a few other guys but they did beat Boston and Denver back to back last week.
