Alright, welcome onto a losing my voice edition of Dunked On Here.

0:03.8

Let's see how much we can get through in the Eastern Conference and Danny.

0:08.1

Let's begin with the bottom of the alphabet, Washington, Wizard.

0:11.2

Yeah, the Wizards are 17 and 31 overall.

0:14.9

A week, four in 12 since the last 15 and 60, they are 24th in net rating,

0:19.9

negative 4.7 points per 100 possessions.

0:22.4

1:05.2

when he's been on the, there's, he has one of those, you know,

1:07.6

Kuriasque differentials, they have a 114 offensive rating when he's on the four,

1:11.8

and basically a 101 when he's off.

1:14.0
