Missed the 40 wins before 20 losses threshold, gotta get 50 wins before 25 losses now.

Don't like the story on George though.

That sounds like a nicer way of saying partial/minor tear, or a strained meniscus which doesn't require surgery, yes, but definitely requires rest time.

I don’t get the PG injury update either. That doesn’t sound good any way you twist it. Woj said before the Laker game he was close to returning. As early as this game. But with the way this team reports injuries you never know what’s the truth.

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst! New slogan :lol:

We did play good for 3 quarters against the Lakers so it can be done. Even without 2 starters.

Got to get a win tonight. The Wizards are coming off an OT loss to the Lakers last night. A loss extends the losing streak to three games. Also, with a b2b of the Wolves and Bucks coming up, a five game losing streak is a very real possibility.

Team needs to play pissed off tonight and beat the breaks off the Wizards. Anything close is not acceptable with the teams recent play

Definitely the loss will stop here as Wizards are a lottery team, and Clippers have a great record against teams under .500 and out of the playoff picture (seeds 10th and lower). They also have a mission to protect, per World Wide Wob:

But wait, there's more. The chance at a new longer losing streak is possible is because of Clippers; they started it.

No reason to expect a win. This team isn’t taking the games seriously enough to win.

Harden on fire from 3.

Where was this aggression against the Lakers?

There are a lot of players like that. Whatever you have--for good or ill--they give you more of it.

Scrimmage. Against a 9-50 team on a b2b after overtime last night vs the fLakers.

Anybody who doubted we could win this is feeling a little embarrassed now. Well, actually they're never embarrassed. :rofl2: Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Way to beat the breaks off them, really needed that.

What’s to be embarrassed about? This team has not been playing well enough to beat even a Wizards team.

Question is will they bring the same energy and aggression to Minnesota and Milwaukee like they did tonight?

Next man up is Bones Hyland. Shot 1-7 in 16 garbage minutes. :(

But WAIT! Lookee here--SEVEN assists. :D

I LOVE Russ...but he's a triangular peg in search of round hole. Let's see how this plays out.
