Way more intelligent team then us. You think we're going to get ball movement with Neal inserted into the lineup? Lol. They are daring Wall to shoot and he is failing.

Neal passed up an open 3 -- resulting in a tough, contested 2-point leaner from Beal. :nonono:

Get Wall outta there. He has no clue what to do when he is off.

Portland's offense looks exactly like Golden States. Lilliard, with his insane range and accuracy, forces the initial pick and roll to take place well outside the 3-point arc. The Wizards are faced with giving up the 3 or allowing the rest of the team to play 4 on 3. What's impressive is that they're playing 4 on 3 effectively even though they have nobody like Draymond Green as the pick setter.

Did someone tell Wall he won POTW before this game? If so, that's a bad move. We know Wizards don't react well to awards.

Let's see how long it takes for Wittman to decide to post up Wall.

I think it's safe to say that Wall didn't prepare well for this game.

On a positive note, the refs have been rather kind to us tonight.

Hot streak is comini` What a beautiful day I finally see my music idol TRICKY live very soon and I think Wizards will pass .500. I wish we had Warriors now they lost 2 games in Denver and Detroit

Beal can't get any separation on Myers Leonard off the dribble. Any at all. :nonono:

Lol. The lack of useful young bigs is so apparent against any team with good young bigs (BOS, POR). Nvm the fact they seem to play a far more intelligent brand of basketball then W/e Randy implores.

This one's over. Might as well rest Wall, Beal, and Nene the rest of the way.
