Loss last night against Boston was one of the absolute worst.

Markieff Morris single-handedly lost that game for the Wizards.

He's another knucklehead in the Wizards' history of knuckleheads that needs to be traded because he's full of shenanigans.

I seriously believe Morris does things to intentionally sabotage the team.

Porter and his clutch free throws fell victim to Markieff Morris' **** last night.

This Boston loss was the worst one to me because playing without Wall they had a chance to prove something.

They do something stupid when up by three points with 14 seconds left. They could have fouled and given them two free throws and probably won the game... But no they play stupid.

lose the same way they've been losing with Bradley Beal isolation and not moving the ball around. Basically the bill at point guard thing with him taking the last shot and not even getting anybody else involved...

Scott Brooks was crappy this game

I'm depressed because there's no way he can out coach Brad Stevens in a series
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Wait, are you guys serious? That was our game to lose. Yes, we were one stupid Markief Morris away foul away from probably winning but we were obviously missing someone very important to our team as well.

Yes. But, they went on a 15-5 run. Had the lead. The game was in hand.

What does that even mean?

Wall's absence had nothing to do with why the Wizards lost.

That Irving fadeaway, three point attempt probably doesn't even go in if Morris just gets a hand up, if it doesn't, Wizards likely grab the rebound are fouled, add another point or two and force the Celtics to play the foul game until the lead is too insurmountable and time runs out.

How you can trivialize the way we lost that hard-fought game is beyond me.

Porter hit two enormous free throws that are often missed in pressure situations and Morris shows up to negate it all.

Perhaps...perhaps not.

I mean we don't know how John would have impacted the game

But with that being said, we do know that in the past John has given Kyrie fits.

Heck, for all we know Kyrie might have gotten into foul trouble thus negating some of his effectiveness.

Obviously we're speculating but....

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

What I mean is that we naturally match up well with the Celtics. See our first game with them. They have great perimeter defense but Wall possesses that ability to slash that we can use to exploit the heart of their defense.

So the fact that the Zards were playing without an all-star PG didn't matter? Are you saying that the Wizards are the same team with or without Wall?

I don't understand why guys get so depressed about losing to one of the best teams in the NBA. Yes, it was a winnable game that ended up being a frustrating loss. But, personally, I much more bothered by losses to bad or mediocre teams like Brooklyn, Dallas and Atlanta.

What game were you watching?

The Wizards loss because of Markieff Morris.

You talk like the Wizards loss by eight points during regulation.

They loss a three point lead with less than ten seconds to play courtesy of Markieff Morris.

Agreed. This was not a historically bad loss. Heck, it wasn't really even a bad loss. The Wizards were behind most of the night. Nobody wants to lose a game because of a last second possession, but it does happen.

Return to Washington Wizards
