  1. Blazers heard us saying that the 12-point 1st-quarter vs the Raptors was the worst we’ve ever seen and said “Aight Bet”. So frustrating because it was a very winnable game if we had just shown up to the arena remembering how to play basketball.

    Let’s go whoop the Wiz and get back to 0.500

  2. My takeaway from this game is that Deni should probably be on the MVP ballot.

    Also this is probably a blowout under Chauncey

  3. Deni making a great case for all NBA.

    Sorry, no notes today I was multitasking while watching the game.

  4. Season low 94 points considering we only scored 11 in the first quarter, I’ll take it

  5. Don’t understand why we can’t inbound the ball. I have never seen another nba team struggle to do simple things like this

  6. Sharpe can’t be an MIA every other game if he doesn’t want to end up as a 6th man. And sometimes, given his attitude, I think that’s exactly what he wants. We didn’t have a shot the entire game because he didn’t show up at all.

  7. I think it went unnoticed, but one of the Celtics broadcasters referred to Toumani as “The Shadow”, and I think that is about the coolest nickname I’ve ever heard. u/TravisDemers , I’m calling upon you to use all your powers to make this a thing!

  8. Let deni rest against the wizards so this back flare up doesn’t happen anymore cus the offense is drastically worse without him. We scored 94 and average 116 per game

  9. that wasn’t that bad of a game if you remove that first quarter. We win by 16 without it.

  10. This team is butt cheeks without Deni. Shoutout Toumani though, he played a great game, especially on defense.

  11. Ive never felt safe when they inbound the ball in the 4th qtr this season.. I don’t think they’re going to fix that anytime this season.

  12. Only saw the second half, our offense was brutal. Loved the effort and hustle but not enough, away at Boston

  13. So, how do you all play Clingan?

    I am really confused why the coach didn’t emphasize for him to get the ball and to go down in the paint. Zubac did well against him and the Celtics didn’t have Garza so you could have tired out Queta.

    I just found it puzzling that when other tall centers, and ones with better quickness than Zubac, have shot, they have done well. Yet, he basically didn’t get the ball much and was relegated to shooting 3s.

    Also, does this team tend to play as a team or do players try to get theirs? Ive seen a couple of games, and always puzzled why some players who are having really bad off nights shot more than the main guys

  14. Poor shooting night, combined with poor shot selections and decisions making. Great effort from the whole team tho, not raising the banner after the 1st quarter and staying somewhat close.

    To sum it up: rough game, but absolutely winnable.

  15. I was there, good effort but man we have so few guys I like on offense. If sharpe doesn’t have it our guys are rough. Cut Rupert tho, he’s not why we lost but cmon

  16. If the shots are not dropping get the foul line and slow down the game. 60 mil tied up with two guys who can’t score is such a bummer. I’ve started calling Shae Apple turnover because he has a bunch every game. He needs to get physically stronger.
