Wall had a shot. Beal would have been the better choice. I'm still not sold on Wall as a MAX player.
FINAL UPDATE
With full military honors, Master Sgt. James W Holt was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery today. May 15
You Are Not Forgotten
RIP Master Sergent Holt :usa:

We stole a victory in that Brooklyn game. Now we're even, I guess.

It was still awesome to see Beal go for 34 though.

1pt loss while giving up a 10pt lead in under 3min, giving up 16 offensive rebounds, going 13-26 from the line and Wall playing like crap

Drew up a great play. If there was contact it wasn't obvious. Gotta find a way to finish there.

How does a professional NBA team go 13-26 from the free throw line?

only good thing about it is that Wall may get upset and start trying to dominate again.

Yeah, he double clutched.

He needed to gather himself and go up for the Fing dunk.

You can get quit like that.

That defender was under the basket. Advantage Wall, and he didn't take it.

Rebounding and foul shooting killed them. They got outrebounded by 17 and missed 13 foul shots.


Agree a million percent. We're down 1, not 3. He has to make that shot. He's become a terrible finisher all of a sudden.

I like how Buck was saying (when we were up in the late stages of the game) there were no moral victories anymore since we are supposed to be a playoff team and have no more excuses.

And then when we lost, he rambled on about all of the silver linings of losing this game. Aka, moral victories.

Wizards gonna Wizard.

Jackson looked better. Like we know, when John doesn't have those lanes and angles to work, he gets into trouble.

Here you go again. How about the guy is playing with back spasms and he let Beal and others go off. He still can't shoot. He did his job for the most part and we almost beat a great team on the road.

What he needed to do was go at the rim and dare them to stop him without fouling.

Thats why you drive. Not to get cute and double clutch with a defender in the protected area.

Alexander on the post game just said that RW was a bigger loss than Nene. I totally disagree. RW is just coming back from injury. He's basically just like Rose is now and RG3 was early. That guy isnt better than a healthy Nene. We needed him
