I wonder how hey investigate what comes down to He Said/He Said.
That’s a good question. Seems like it would come down to anybody else in the room and whether they would tell the truth.
Quin Snyder was there...he said he didn’t recall the conversation but would reach out to Elijah

I know running to the 3pt line on fast breaks has gotten outta hand in recent years but wow man, this is nuts especially with the score in the game
Could only imagine Eddie Johnson seeing this smh lol

Yeah, that is ridiculous. Could have easily tied it and given themselves a chance in OT. Sick. I’d be pissed if I was a Nuggets fan.

MPJ is NBA Barbie. He always has a dumb look on his face and he's had some dumb opinions.

Maybe the latter has influenced my thoughts on the former. Or maybe he's just dumb.

They were all over it on TNT tonight too. All four screwed up starting with Murray stopping at the 3 point line.

Glad the Nugs lost! That honestly looks like muscle memory kicked in and no one was even thinking about the time or situation. They just ran to their spots and treated it like a fastbreak in the 2nd qtr.

You could say Murray should have kept going to the rim, but I think he thought he’d pull up from 3, draw the defender out, and dump it to one of the 3 wide open guys on the right...except all 3 of them stayed at the 3 point line...maybe they all thought someone else would cut to the rim? Just a really weird boneheaded play all around.

Ya they’re rolling... there was some evidence that teams were shooting way better than expected against Washington early... maybe that’s normalized a bit and now they’re getting comfortable. Bertans is starting to play much better too

I thought the Wiz would be better this year. Even after that win streak they're still 12-18 and well out of the East playoff picture. I'd like to see them keep up this strong performance and get into the playoffs; I could live without seeing the Knicks in the postseason.

Well remember, you only have to get to 10 to be in the play-in tourney. Washington is only 2 games back of 10.

In fact the east is way tight right now. 3.5 games separate 4 from 13. Only 2 games separate 4 from 11.

Even in the second quarter that’s a horrible fast break.

I was just looking at the conference standings today. Our record is 20-11, and we're still at 4th in the West, but we've earned a bit of separation from the teams below us. 5th place Portland has been losing some games recently and is now a full 2 games behind us with an 18-13 record. The Nuggets have dropped all the way to 8th with a record of 17-15. Spots 7-10 are occupied by the Warriors, Nuggets, Grizz and Mavs respectively; that play-in tournament would be a bloodbath.

Can't wait for all the gushing about how great the Lakers are in comparison to the Suns situation from Jones. Yeah, I don't expect him to help fill the void of missing AD.
