Game Thread GAME# 29: WIZARDS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 20, 2021 - SATURDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

We just live and die waaaaaay too much on our 3-point shooting and our pick-and-roll. When you're struggling as a team to shoot, attack the basket, get to the line, get a couple of practice shots. When the other team is starting to make a little run, draw a foul, break their rhythm, make them play another 14 seconds of defense. And then teams blitz the pick-and-roll, for gosh sakes, have a counter, or at least get rid of the ball quickly to an outlet -- you always can get it back if nothing materializes.

Sometimes we irritatingly play right into our opponents' hands because we settle for deep or hard shots or try to rush something when they're getting momentum. We find ourselves unnecessarily in dogfights.

No reason we should have lost last night. None.
