Both the Wizards and the Portland Trail Blazers were missing a bunch of guys due to injury. Get them all back to full health and play this one again, and the result is probably about the same.
If there’s a bright side to players being injured it’s the opportunity to give 31 valuable developmental minutes to 31-year old Anthony Gill.
Wait, you’re saying Gill is not a centerpiece of the team’s long-term plan?
I (sorta) kid. Truth is, Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Justin Champagnie aren’t front and center in the long-term plan either.
