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

[FAH1223]

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.

If Satoransky stayed in the game when Beal came in and they took out Meeks instead, the Wizards win this one.

Sato could stay in front of Lillard tonight.

I can't watch the last 4 minutes of these games now. They clearly can still compete with most teams without Wall but the lack of adjustments by this coach and the crappy ISO ball will have them losing games.

Is it too early to think about our 2018 pick?

[Tricky_Kid]

This game prooved that Brooks has no plays which we can use it at the end. It all is in hands of Wall or Beal. And the same thing as for John don't be **** egoisting with hunger to take last shoot at all cost.
Morris should never seen the floor at the end over Oubre. And yes he is a moron. But just wonder why he was on Nurkic not Gortat?
Another sad reflection is Gortat is a mess. He didn't do nothing and he is slower in each game.
I will go to that point I will stop watching this **** and start to root against us to miss the playoffs and maybe firing Brooks/Ernie.

Good night

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.

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.

Morris plays were quantifiably negative irrespective of what scenarios you cook up to minimize his **** play.

Just glad I don't pay to watch this crap anymore. It's bad enough watching on tv. It's pretty bad when your team is up 17 points with 9 minutes left and you still feel your team will lose. No leadership and no clutch players.

[80sballboy]

The bottom line is that this team is going nowhere with or without Wall. They don't have a defensive presence in the paint and they don't have a creative scorer that can make shots late in the games. Maybe that's Porter. Maybe one day that's Oubre if they don't trade him. But this team to me is is a 4th seed at best.

I'd say Otto is more clutch than Beal.

If he got fouled and had to shoot 2 for the W, he'd make both. Beal won't.

That flagrant gave them 3 extra points. Also, the rushed shots gave them 20 extra seconds.

Without those two mistakes, we are up 105-100 with 1:12 to go and the ball in our hands.

Just dribble out the shot clock and miss and they have :48 seconds to go and a 5 point deficit. If they score in 8 seconds, we dribble out the shot clock again and they're down 3 with 12 seconds left. I like this scenario much better.

[skywalker33]

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

Well, whoever was defending McCollum in the last two minutes.......didn't, was really hoping you guys pulled this one out, thought you would.

Wizards went 15-16 from the line, guess who missed the only freethrow tonight

Hard to tell. Otto never touches the ball at the end. I still feel we don't have any stone cold killers on this team. Wall has had a few moments but the Wiz really haven't had one since Gilbert.

Whatever, He lost the game. Beal's misses had nothing to do with it. Our lousy defense was quantifyiable positive. I said you could pin the game on Brooks and Beal. If you say Oubre was the option? Sure, he never makes bad plays or has mental mistakes.

[FireErnie702]

How many games have the wizards blown this year? Lakers, warriors, hornets, blazers? I feel like I’m missing one or 2.

SUNS - Wiz were up 22

Wiz should be 15-4 or 16-3

[80sballboy]

Beal was a -20 by the way and nobody else was even close to that. Keep playing him at point guard Coach. Good move.

Because they wanna force feed brad over and over and over and over.

Think about the criticism of Brooks in his OKC days, they don’t even run an offense. They are mentally weak and have no clue wtf they are doing.


Brooks in his postgame “we just couldn’t get stops” maybe because you have a hard on for Tim Frazier and play him 50 minutes a game instead of the better player, Satoransky

[Dat2U]

Our think our biggest issue is how bad our frontcourt is. Gortat doesn't rotate on defense half the time anymore and Mahinmi is simply collecting a check. Morris looks slow, has been lazy on D and can't keep his temper in check at the biggest moments.

It would be also nice if the front office, coaching staff and teammates realized how good Otto is.

[NatP4]

Uhh the front office just maxed the guy...what else can they do?

Morris was the clear 3rd option before Otto got paid. The Wiz wouldn't even max Otto, he had to get the deal from another team.

[popper]

Scott Brooks is a bad coach and should be fired

Yes. But first EG has to trade away another first round pick to dump Mahinmi and only then can he dump the coach he maxed out. TL will no doubt then reward EG with an extension. I’ve never witnessed such incompetence.
