On the bright side - At the end of the game Jones and Allen were having a discussion and Jones had his uniform over his lips to hide what he was saying. Allen and Jones played together in Memphis. Let's hope Jones wants out of the Wizards. Or could it be that Allen wants to join the Wizzard's and away from Vogel and Ish?

Interesting

Second scenario probably makes the most sense.

Wow, this was a MUCH NEEDED win and we got it.

Tough battle because we were on a (small) losing streak and every game is more difficult when you are down mentally but after winning this one I think we are gonna be OK.

Vogel shortened the rotation. Watanabe and Bates-Diop didn't play and Metu just played a few minutes. I think it was a good decision favoring Little and Goodwin who have been playing better than them.

Book and KD struggled to score, they finished with 27 and 28 points respectively but with bad percentages.

Nice to see a good game from Eubanks. Gordon and Goodwin were big coming from the bench too.

Hopefully we can build on this W. The Blazers are playing better lately so the next one it's not gonna be an easy game.

We better not be trailing for three quarters against another 2-8 team, this one on 7 game losing streak.

They have been on every game until the end, they are losing but close games.

They were playing worse basketball at the start of the season.

It’s better to be trailing through first 3 quarters and come back then vice versa. I want to see better effort in the 4th, the first three quarters mean nothing if you can’t win in last one.

Both are sign of mediocre team. That said, hopefully the sign of life shown in 4Q carries over to next games.

I'd take CP3s full contract even if he doesn't play, but just to be around and be a leader. They're paying 50 mil for absolutely nothing right now.

It's easily one of the NBA's worst contracts by far.

And the really mind bending part is that Kevin Young has run it like 3 times this season.

That’s the offensive genius, highest paid assistant, nearly became our HC because our players like him, Kevin Young to you.

They might have one of the worst coaching staffs in all of the association and I'm dead serious.

I am fairly convinced that if the players like the coach, they probably not good at their job, and just absolutely pushovers
