Game Thread GAME# 3: WIZARDS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 22, 2018 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), NBCSNW

[Strenuus]

CJ wouldn't pass. Dame wouldn't shoot. Blazers kept relying on refs who were clearly Wizards fans

The refs didn't leave Morris open 7 times in the same spot.

 

[James lamphear]

When he put Harkless in Zach should went in there also. Stotts should had Dame Turner harkless Aminu Zach in that last possession at the end regulations.

 

[Chris Craig]

Good night everyone. Take the loss on the road and learn from it.

Go Blazers!

To a Magic team that just beat the Celtics

 

[TBpup]

Soft Portland media. I can't believe no one asked about Zach not playing down the stretch right off the bat.

 

[KingSpeed]

We weren’t gonna win em all. Wizards were desperate for win. Could’ve gone either way. Not gonna overreact. Let’s get a split on the road and then sweep our homestand.

 

[Strenuus]

Ugh. When people started overlooking washington, I knew today was gonna suck... but this one hurts, and it's only game three. lol.

 

[Scalma]

I should not still be miffed at Collins not being out for OT.

But here I am, still miffed at Collins not being out for OT.

My only defense could be that Terry didn’t trust Collins on close outs, and if there’s one thing he has struggled with defensively, it’s close outs. I would’ve just put Aminu on Markieff. Or Turner.

Wait... I thought you always said to think of every game as a win. SPLIT THE ROAD TRIP?

What happened to Kingspeed? :MARIS61:

 

[Chris Craig]

No, Nurkic did that. It was terrible to watch that asshole make 3 after 3

 

[Strenuus]

No, Nurkic did that. It was terrible to watch that asshole make 3 after 3

And that's where we lost. lol.

 

[ripcityboy]

We can't keep living and dying by CJ and Dame taking 51% per cent of the shots and then hoping the other team misses. It's FUCKING MIND NUMBING! This team has to have some potential outside of the big three.

3 games in and I’m devastated

Aminu was playing crappy D getting 3s hit on him too.

Neil is that you? Trade CJ please

 

[LayneStaley]

They wasted a performance by Nurk where he played STRONG at the basket(I bet this is the most Dunks he’s ever had in a game)....that’s what I’m upset about.

 

[ripcityboy]

This feels just like last year.

 

[Chris Craig]

And that's where we lost. lol.

No we lost when Lillard brought it all the way to the basket against 3 defenders instead of stopping and popping

 

[Darkwebs]

Why it wasn't Zach is beyond me...

When asked why Zach wasn't in the game to guard Morris in the 4th, Stotts replied:

Spoiler

 

[LayneStaley]

This feels just like last year.

Last year we lose this one in regulation cause whoever would of been in for Sauce wouldn’t have hit that 3

 

[Boise Blazer]

Nope this game was lost in regulation

Well we are the exact same team. @tombradyfanguy

 

[LayneStaley]

Stauskas might be turning into a healthy rich mans Parsons, wouldn’t that be nice.

 

[tykendo]

When is Markieff a FA? Not joking.

Why? He will suck his next game. Dude is uber inconsistent. Hats off , their 3 pt. shooting was ridiculous down the stretch. Sloppy game by the Blazers but the effort was there to keep it close. Oubre was hot as well. He usually is only so-so. Dame and CJ had off shooting nights, and it still took a block at the buzzer to beat them. Go Blazers!!

[BonesJones]

Some of you jinxed us talking about not being tested until the end of the month.

We still haven't been. We tested ourselves. The test? How bad do we have to play to lose.

 

[e_blazer]

Neil is that you? Trade CJ please

You going to do this every game?

Oh yeah, same as last year.

 

[HailBlazers]

When asked why Zach wasn't in the game to guard Morris

Dream On.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Blazers are still undefeated in games that don't go to overtime!

 

[beast blazer]

This had nothing to do with the refs. This is all on the team.

Look at what they call a charge on us vs the blocking could they called at the other end
