    A game is always an experience so as long as you didn't do something crazy and pay for mid court, court side seats then you'll have an interesting experience that's unique. I don't think this team will be trying to lose again for a long long time.

    I do think we'll lose by less than 30.

    At this point it's a win if we lose by less than 30 points.

    Wizards not much better than the Blazers record and the Blazers are playing at home. Interested in seeing how this plays out.

    This might be a win, especially if Simons plays

    I don't expect Ant to play and I expect Kuzma and KP to get whatever they want.

    If they are going to face injuries or reasons to keep players out, they could at least get creative.
