    So we just shouldn't focus on doing well in the regular season? Okay. Maybe we should bench all our starters until playoffs then so they don't get hurt..

    The Good:
    We had a 20 point lead and then a 29 point lead

    The Bad:
    We gave up a 15-0 run after the 20 point lead and the Wiz came within a wide-open '3' of trimming the 29 point lead down to 5.

    Oh well, a win is a win but with the next game coming up right away, they needed to hold that 2nd lead and let Dame/CJ rest. 39 minutes is too many with a back-to-back on the horizon.

    Quality victory, even though it got a little ragged in the 4th. Starters were great, but the bench has got to get their act together. And soon. Reminded me of the game Portland came back against Houston with their bench. Got a little scary. They weren't missing. And the refs start to overlook the physicality against the team that's up. But a good win it was. Dame, Nurk & CJ were outstanding.

    It's impossible to ever feel safe with any lead

    This poll is absurd.
    It's like asking if you knew the sun would never rise again would you regret your wasted time enjoying it previously?
    Also, it's a totally impossible scenario. It's not even good fantasy.
    So, can't we focus on something plausible?

    I get what you intended in your post. I'd just like to point out that you could have put it better.

    I thank Scott Brooks that he didn't even have a chance.

    Right?

    If I was a coach of an NBA team and I was facing the Blazers, I would play any guy with the last name of Morris 48 minutes. It's a winning strategy.

    Man, if I was Ernie Grunfeld (Wiz GM) I would fire Brooks tonight.

    As long as Stotts is the coach of the Blazers and you have a guy like Markieff Morris (or Jeff Green) you should run a pick and pop every single play. It's annoying as a Blazer fan to watch but it works against us. Did they even run one single pick and pop with Morris and Wall? How can you not even try a play that worked time and time again just a few weeks ago?

    No wonder the Wizards are 5-11. How can a team with that many good players be such a shit show?
