GT: Blazers vs Wizards (November 25, 2017 at 7 p.m. ET)

[trast66]

Is Otto not allowed to shoot in last 4 minutes of game?

[nate33]

Beal misses his last 4 shots, most of them good looks, and chokes the game away.

[queridiculo]

Yeah, Blazers basically win by one instead of the Wizards escaping into OT, way to go Morris you dumbass

[80sballboy]

Yes! I don't understand Morris over Oubre at all.

I'm ok with Kieff there. They are a big team and he did hit a big shot.

Still ok with it?

Yes, that's not why we lost. Look at No. 3 and Brooks, for not posting Porter on Lillard.

[nate33]

Man, we'd be awesome if basketball games were only 44 minutes long.

[queridiculo]

That Beal/Meeks lineup set up this iso chucking bull to close the game.

[queridiculo]

I'm ok with Kieff there. They are a big team and he did hit a big shot.

Yes, that's not why we lost. Look at No. 3 and Brooks, for not posting Porter on Lillard.

That's precisely why we lost. Morris gives the Blazers an extra possession with a rushed shot, then gives the Blazers an extra point with that stupid flagrant.

[closg00]

Brooks has to call a time-out and get control of this sh_it down-the-stretch, this is a total team/coaching failure

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

The Wizards lost but the most important thing is that Beal took all the shots down the stretch. Scott Brooks wouldn't have it any other way.

Also, very important that Brooks didn't play Satoransky too long.

[closg00]

...and Kief is a fracking moron of a player

[80sballboy]

Even without Wall, we pissed away another big 4th quarter lead. Brooks has to look himself in the mirror for this one and I'm not one of those blaming the coach for every loss. I get the fact that Porter is not going to create off the bounce against Dame but post him up! Beal doesn't have to take every f-ing shot but they were all good shots save for the last one. He just doesn't have clutch gene.

[TheBabyMaker]

Heh I just knew they would lose and that's why I turned the game off with 5 mins left and went for a short walk.

[closg00]

A player on the rookie scale cooly showed-up his Max counter-part too

[nate33]

Still ok with it?

Yes, that's not why we lost. Look at No. 3 and Brooks, for not posting Porter on Lillard.

That's precisely why we lost. Morris gives the Blazers an extra possession with a rushed shot, then gives the Blazers an extra point with that stupid flagrant.

Yeah, the Morris plays were the worst part. That rushed shot was stupid and the flagrant was unnecessary.

I'm a little annoyed that Porter didn't get any looks in the last few minutes, but for the most part, I felt that Beal's shots were really good looks. He wasn't forcing terrible shots. It's hard to label that a coaching fail. Beal is just remarkably unclutch.

Without Wall, we don't have anybody that can get in the lane and create or get fouled. Porter does need to get some shots though at the end. Run him off screens or post him.

[nate33]

A player on the rookie scale cooly showed-up his Max counter-part too

?

What rookie scale player outplayed Beal or Porter?

[queridiculo]

McCollum, but it's a bogus argument, he'll be maxed soon too.

[80sballboy]

Yes, that's not why we lost. Look at No. 3 and Brooks, for not posting Porter on Lillard.

Please, the Wiz would have lost with or without the flagrant. So the game is tied and Beal still misses a clutch shot. McCollum or Lillard hit the game-winner. Or the game goes OT and Blazers win by 10 because WIz can't stop PNR.

[NatP4]

Scott Brooks is a bad coach and should be fired

[nate33]

McCollum, but it's a bogus argument, he'll be maxed soon too.

According to two different salary websites, McCollum is making $24M this year. Also, I don't think he outplayed Beal. Statistically, they were about even.
