    This had nothing to do with the refs. This is all on the team.

    C'mon.... That was not the refs. That was the Blazers playing poorly.

    CJ wouldn't pass. Dame wouldn't shoot. Blazers kept relying on refs who were clearly Wizards fans

    Stop Lillard shoots like 41% for his career overall and has similar games like that.

    Cj and Dame are just those type of players

    Nurkic feasts on rebounding missed shots, but screws up many scores under the hoop by bringing the ball down low. He has returned to that habit. He would have had 10 more points if he would catch the ball and keep it high.

    Turner was our best player in the 1st half but Stotts hardly used him in the 2nd.

    McCollum not only missed all his shots; he made errors in passing and dribbling. Passing: both not passing when he should, and messing up when he did pass.

    Lillard sure misses a lot of wide open easy 3-pointers.

    Morris kept making 3s from the left side since no one guarded him all game long. In between those, he drove and made layups, since no one guarded him all game long.

    I should not still be miffed at Collins not being out for OT.

    But here I am, still miffed at Collins not being out for OT.

    Good night everyone. Take the loss on the road and learn from it.

    Go Blazers!

    The refs didn't leave Morris open 7 times in the same spot.

    When he put Harkless in Zach should went in there also. Stotts should had Dame Turner harkless Aminu Zach in that last possession at the end regulations.

    Soft Portland media. I can't believe no one asked about Zach not playing down the stretch right off the bat.

    We weren’t gonna win em all. Wizards were desperate for win. Could’ve gone either way. Not gonna overreact. Let’s get a split on the road and then sweep our homestand.

    My only defense could be that Terry didn’t trust Collins on close outs, and if there’s one thing he has struggled with defensively, it’s close outs. I would’ve just put Aminu on Markieff. Or Turner.

    Wait... I thought you always said to think of every game as a win. SPLIT THE ROAD TRIP?

    What happened to Kingspeed? :MARIS61:

    No, Nurkic did that. It was terrible to watch that asshole make 3 after 3
