Like the Nets are a bad matchup for the Raps, the Raps are a bad matchup for the Wizards. The only team I think that can beat the Raps are the Buls....and themselves. They've gotten off to this start with DeMar struggling even before he got hurt. They just need to work Jonas in a bit more and they have one of the top 5 benches in the league. They can get to the Finals. Win it? Doubtful, the West-East gap is still pretty massive, but hell getting there would be amazing enough.

But this is going to be an interesting stretch, if they play just as well or even better without DeMar, he all of a sudden becomes an interesting trade piece. If you really, really get KD, a sign and trade involving DeRozan would undoubtedly appeal to OKC more than him leaving for nothing. But that's down the line obviously.
