NBA Season 2016-2017

Blazers blowing out the Wizards in the first half. I guess fatigue is taking a toll on their team. This should regain our #2 spot if Blazers finish strong.

Up just 7 now with 8 to go. DO NOT BLOW THIS, BLAZERS! You owe us this after the refs gifted you a win in Boston with that BS, overturned by the league foul call on Smart for Lillard.

the remaining schedule difference between the celtics and wizards is worth at least a couple games in the favor of our celtics.

On the road, the wizards play below .500 this year. and even if they beat out that winning percentage significantly, 13 road games are likely to provide about as many losses as all the celtics remaining games.

so far, i think i read that the wizards have had the easiest schedule in the nba. that changes now.

for me, it is really hard to see the wizards passing the celtics.

UPDATE: portland up by 6 with 3:39 left. close game.

ugh

[jpotter33]

My God, the Blazers are just putting on a clinic of how to lose a game. Just dumb, dumb basketball.

EDIT: lots of rumors that McCollum will be shopped this summer if they fail to make the playoffs. The owner isn't keen on paying that much money to a team that can't even make the playoffs right now. Would love to nab McCollum, who'd be an excellent fit here.

What an epic chokejob by Blazers

[RockinRyA]

I can't believe this.

Oh well this is why you should take care of things on your own. You don't want to have to rely on other teams beating your competition for you.

[hwangjini_1]

well, wiz up by 4, 110 to 106. that is what happens when portland scores ZERO points for just over 3 straight minutes down the stretch. 

[j804]

Yuck with the way the Wizards are playing them getting help at the deadline and us not doing squat it's coming back to bite us. Danny screwed up. Smh

[hwangjini_1]

portland teasing us now.

NEW GAME with 23 seconds left.

exciting, no? 

[jpotter33]

It's going to come down to the Blazers playing a good possession of defense.

Don't count me as someone who has confidence in that occurring.

As much as I love Damian Lillard, he's a big part of their struggles with how terrible his D has been. This team just cannot stop anybody, and that's why they're on the outside looking in right now.

[hwangjini_1]

oh ye of little faith. 

[jpotter33]

Wow, Wall can't get a better look than that. Crazy. Hopefully Portland can steal this in OT! But it's ridiculous that it has even got this far.
