Amazing play. Great job by the veterans and Wizards not to panic when they went down 13. They were able to crawl back and take the lead when it mattered.

The offensive boards by the Bulls worries me. The Wizards need to limit those. I'm not worried about the Wizards not getting the 3s they live to shoot and die by, because I'll gladly take working through Nene or Gortat over those.

I'm not worried about anything today. They won with Wall and Beal shooting 7/25. They can find ways to win.

as long as we're fantasizing, let's imagine we win this series, ATL beats IND, BRK beats TOR,
then beats MIA. After beating ATL in the 2nd rnd, we play BRK in the ECFs. And make the
finals. I know, pretty improbable. But I do think ATL could beat IND (they look horrible).
And BRK could actually beat MIA for the same reason we could beat CHI. Been there, done
that (reg season).

Hey BA, you put any coin on that scenario?

Congrats on the win, Nene was a beast, and Gortat/Ariza/Miller were also excellent.

Hopefully we come out with a better effort in Game 2, you guys outplayed us full stop.

Unlikely, but I do like our chances against CHI now, and if ATL beats IND we would then have a decent chance to make it to the conference finals, where we would likely lose to MIA. If IND finds their mojo to beat ATL, well... that's a bad matchup for us.

But making it to the ECF would be a pretty damn good outcome, all the same.
