The Big Picture: Wizards recap, Woj article, Santa's list, Predictions and more!

Travis and Trevor got back together for a Christmas miracle: a Big Picture Boys podcast! The two talk about a throwaway loss to the Wizards, memorable losses to the Rockets and Nuggets and how comfortable (sitting by the fireside, cup of hot cocoa in hand) the fans should feel about the Pels’ playoff chances.  Trevor dissects a recent Adrian Wojnarowski article in ESPN detailing Anthony Davis’ desire to make the playoffs; the word “winning” came up 22 times. This season’s wins or losses might mean a long future of Pels playoff games, or a team blown up by disappointment.  Davis specifically mentions other peers of his, including Giannis Antentokuonmpo, Kristaps Porzingis and Joel Embiid. Is he out for blood in upcoming matchups with them? Will AD end up in Boston, as per every rumor on Twitter ever? Trevor sure hopes not. Why is the team so bad defensively? Travis can’t figure it out.  Will Solomon Hill be a difference-maker when he comes back? And, of course, what players (and coaches) will get a fancy new toy from Santa, and who will be left with nothing but coal? Finally, the guys give quick takes on the 5-game slate coming Christmas day, Trevor insisting that most of Travis’ predictions are off base. Trav’s picks: Philly over the Knicks, Golden State over the Cavs, Boston over the Wizards (Trevor agrees here, folks!), Houston in a blowout against OKC and the Lakers in a close one to close out the night.
