Ariza is having a heck of a game.

If Wiz lose this game, it's because they can't grab a defensive rebound. They are quicker to every loose ball.

flip keeping wall and beal on the bench too long to start the 4th once again. I just don't understand his thought process.

Tie game and they hit back-to-back threes.

Darryl Morey has an eye for talent. Motiejunas is a guy I wish the Wizards had in place of Vesely. (I actually don't dislike Vesely.

Motiejunas was 4-14 from 3 coming into this this game. Unacceptable to let a guy like that hit two 3 pointers.

That's fine, I'm talking about Wall and Beal primarily. Ariza's been great.

Watching the Rockets' offense is fascinating. All they do is drive-and-kick, drive-and-kick, drive-and-kick, and crash the offensive glass. All shots are either 3-pointers or at the rim. It's so simple yet so effective.

As good as the Rockets are shooting the three, the Wizards are right there with them.

That's a nice little wrinkle giving Beal the ball with his back to the basket at the top of the key. I like it.

What's ironic is McHale is coaching them but his game was all on the post. Up-and-unders, Mikan 101 stuff.

:clap:

Consor just mentioned how mature he plays now. He drives to the lane. He was a spot up shooter, but now more. Beal is a lot better defender than Lillard. It is amazing how slowly Beal started vs how he's playing now. Harden is 23 but Beal is still just 19 years old. This game is another statement game for Beal. The day after getting new teeth, and after Crawford was traded Beal stepped up.

All the talk of Harden for Beal might need to be revisited. Beal is going to be really good.

^ you might be right CCJ. Beal might never be the scorer Harden is, but he makes up for it in other ways. I absolutely love the way this kid plays.
