Thank the Wiz for their crappy 4th quarter shooting. I wish it had something to do with our defense, but I’ll take the unearned win.

Thank goodness for Poole…what an ugly shot…of course we gave up the offensive board…I don’t see a foul by Booker at all

Book gets such a disrespectful whistle. It’s insane.

We had to challenge twice to get bad calls taken off Book…and did I hear that right, we lost our last timeout to challenge that? Why do we lose our timeout because the refs suck?

Poole might be the dumbest player in the nba…is he out there to sabotage the team for draft position? He’s clearly got talent, but I don’t think anyone has a worse shot selection…How did the Warriors get him to play good basketball that finals season?

Apart from our starts, finishes, offense and defense we are starting to look ok.
Great dunk by KD. That’s about it for highlights from this one.

The team hasn't looked good but also hasn't given up, yet. Book looks like he's out of gas, KD's trying but frustrated, and the rest of the team is flat. Maybe the Wizards live up to their record and lose it in the 4th? Maybe we fall off a cliff and lose by 20?
Ah, you should have stopped while you were ahead. :P

Seems like Poole makes Shaqtin’ A Fool worth plays at least once per game.

Solid win that was much needed. Still much to figure out and address, but a win even a small one against a poor team we should beat is a start for now.

It was a win. It felt like a loss. They definitely have work to do.

There was nothing “solid” about that win. We gave the Wiz every opportunity and they just blew it.

It was solid that we didn't completely collapse yet again and lose by a large margin. And it was also solid that we did manage to score better in the 4th quarter rather creatively giving the game away in magnificent fashion. Overall, Please don't misunderstand my optimism here man. I'm not at all disillusioned as to our likely outcome this season, even though I am trying to remain somewhat positive given our current circumstances. ;)
