We're 7-5. I hate that we're only two games better than .500 right now when I feel like we're better than that. Worst game of the year. I understood when we lost to CLE, GS, LAC and DEN. Those were "good losses". CLE off the back-to-back on the road. Golden State's a great team that has chemistry. Clippers should have lost, and it was the second game on a back-to-back. Denver always plays good at home. Losing to the Wizards after having several days of rest??? Absolutely horrendous loss.

Wasn't able to watch the game. Wtf happened? Rubio 19 mins? Uhg up 12 at half what a bad bad loss...

Martin had a poor shooting night, and Ricky was more interested in being flashy than effective, so RA benched him in favor of JJ (who was actually facilitating the offense better). Ricky had two turnovers on totally unnecessary behind the back passes. I wanted Rick to put Rubio and his fresh legs in the game late to defend Wall, but I think RA was sending him a message. A tough loss, but I think it will be a good learning experience for Rubio.

Blowing a 16 point lead is something I would expect from the Wolves of two years ago. Not this team. I'm not taking this loss well.

Yup, bad loss. We cannot continue to lose on the road to sub-par teams like Cleveland, Denver, and now Washington and expect to snag a decent playoff seed. In fact, the way the West is headed, we may struggle to get an 8th seed if we keep this up. 44 or 45 wins may not be enough! Meanwhile, Portland just keeps on chiseling through the East like a buzzsaw.

I put this loss on our starters. Great teams come out in the 3rd quarter and put inferior teams away. We've been doing that well at home, but not on the road. This is a bad loss. A win tomorrow night would help sooth the pain, but I'm not feeling good about it.
