    There is no way we should have lost that in regulation. Piss poor defense to give them that 3. These are the losses that will cost us later in the season. These are the losses that really good teams rarely if ever have.

    lol. no.

    Dame facilitates and then goes into "fuck it mode" at some point in the game.

    CJ just says "fuck it" all the time.

    They are not close to being the same.

    So are we back to not making the playoffs? What's the consensus?

    Same brick festival like last Season, other Teams seems to know how to guard Lillard and McCollum. I probably expect more of these nights in the future

    And Dame's "fuck it mode" is actually pretty effective.

    I can't Blame Dame either. If he slides in and gets the basket it's game over with a win.

    Why we didnt have him guard Morris is beyond me. Nurkic was gassed at the end.

    Why the fuck wasn't Collins out there on Morris? They were pick and popping all over the place. WTF was Stotts doing?

    Yup. Good call. He pulled through for them and played great. Man, I just don't see how Stotts can be so blind to the obvious things, that all of us see here. Pretty sad....

    Just IMHO, but I feel Collins would have....

    He's very well known for getting other people involved in the first 2 quarters, and then judges from there. That's pretty much what I mean.

    Although Dame should have passed to Nick there is no one else I would rather have with the ball in his hands. We just shouldn't have been in OT

    Saying this for years
    The Wizards assembled a team of Blazer killers: Wall, Beal, Morris, Oubre. We still shouldn't have lost this. We came in acting playing like the Wizards were just going to roll over. It just didn't look like we took this game as seriously as we needed to. And we need to take every game seriously. We don't have the star power to win on talent alone.

    I think i watched Nurk signal to Dame to cover Morris on the switch for that last three he made? Dame left the man on the switch. bad mistake.

    One of Stotts' more clueless decisions....especially after how ZCo has started the season on defense against small ball teams. Completely unfathomable.
