    Portland comes into DC on a season-high 5-game losing streak. Was the Blazers' New Year's resolution to tank? If so, they're off to a good start.

    Here, the Blazers face a team that can challenge any tank. The Wizards have more injuries than even the Blazers, and they're starting a G-League quality lineup. But if Portland has shown anything this season, it's that there is no team they can't lose to.

    Tune in to see which team wins loses this game!

    That abyssmal starting line-up of the Wizards has to be thinking they have a chance.

    They blew out Miami without Beal. Washington can score.

    Ours SHOULD be a lot better.

    Dame should eat IT's lunch.
    CJ should definitely score more than he gives up to GPII
    Baze vs Beal, uh.....never mind.
    Melo vs....who?
    Whiteside should win the battle against IAAII
    ...and it's possible they have even less of a bench than we do.

    If the Blazers can't/don't win this game, the Tank is officially on.

    Beal is out. We’re playing like trash. perfect time to switch things up and insert Trent into the lineup in place of Bazemore.
