They called that jump ball between Beal/Paul (right before Beal ripped it away) a lot faster than that tie up between Beal and Griffin.

So you want him to go less hard? He's been fantastic. Rest of the team not so. Not sure why Porter is sitting so long.

Its just if you gonna lose this one then just lose it....i hate to see him spending so much energy if this is a lost cause.

My only guess why Porter is not playing is because he doesn't like him matching up on Blake and Oubre is playing the 3.

Unless Brooklyn and David Falk are involved. :nonono:

We made it a respectable loss and Wall competed like crazy (on offense).

Yet he tried to steal a few minutes with Bogs guarding Griffin. Bogs is presumably heavier than Porter, but I don't think he's stronger -- and he's certainly not a better defender. We've seen Porter guard bigger guys in the post.

I think Brooks gambled on playing the more explosive offensive player, but the gamble didn't pay off.

I tell ya one thing, the Wizards aren't about to sit everyone down 10 with 2 minutes to go, a la the Crying Cavs.

Leonard might be most complete player in the league. Bron still up there but D is slipping. Harden, Westbrook, Davis. Curry still a great shooter but Wall more complete. I would say top 10, maybe not top 5 because I think he still takes quarters off or some nights off against bad teams and shows up again the elite. And he still gets little respect because we haven't done anything in the playoffs.

Don't know if Bojan is the more "explosive offensive player". I'd rather have Otto shoot/not shoot those 4th quarter threes Bojan bricked.

I don't agree with it but that's the only thing I can think of unless Otto is hurt.

I didn't say "better"; I said "more explosive." Bogs is streakier, and can turn into a deadly shot creator when he's on fire. Porter is more reliable, but when he catches fire, he still needs others to create his opportunities for him.

Oubre jus tried to monster Jordan

I love this kid!!!!

DeAndre Jordan - Throws a tantrum, everything's fine.

Markieff Morriss - Utters a slur under his breath, ejected.

Lol this league sometimes.

On a separate note: Porter is *killing* me in fantasy basketball tonight -- and I'm in the league finals this week. :nonono:

I like Otto but he needs to be more aggressive and still could add a few pounds. He hope he acts like Beal in the offseason when he gets a big deal. Don't settle for being good. Try to live up to the deal by improving your game.

FOUL!!!

why the hell not foul earlier?

WHY DIDN'T THEY FOUL!? If you're not going to trap/pressure the ball, you gotta foul.
