Nets, easily.

I know we are a different team now in the post season, but all year we struggled to defend the 3 point line. If we go through a period where our shots arent falling against the Hawks, and we will, we won't win because we can't stop their shooters. This is a Wittman thing.

Against the Nets, you know PP is gonna bring the pain. I think that could be a sweep also. I'm praying they beat the Hawks but its extremely unlikely.

The Hawks are beatable if we play the way we have this post season, particularly Beal. Our guys are rested. Its doable.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Wizards struggled to defend the 3pt line? Opponents shot .349 from three against them this season. League average: .350.

This, definitely. Brooklyn can fall down and not get up pretty easily.

Maybe just two more days until we get to see a game again.

Thank God there are other games to watch. But its not the same.

I bet those guys are itching to get on the floor again.

Wall's shoulder has had time to heal and Pierce & Nene's knee's have time to rest. The break is good for us. Nice to go into the Atlanta series completely healthy.
