Playoffs Game #1 Thread -- (Wiz vs Hawks) 4/16/17

[CobraCommander]

John has driven to the basket about 5 times and got 1 call? Millsap has gotten about 10?

I dont get it....you are supposed to be rewarded for going to the basket and getting contact...Wall is an Allstar at home in the playoffs and not getting the calls.

Wow 20 free throws to 6 while we at home

We had some dudes just come in and start hacking people. Cough Oubre. The refs have been fine.

Dear Brooks,

Please play Wall-Beal-Oubre-Otto-Gortat. It is our best lineup by far, this is the playoffs.

No, we'll just roll with Wall-Beal-BOJAN-1 of Otto/Oubre-Gortat instead, because Bojan is a sniper. Not the normal sniper who shoots 45% from 3 but a different kind of sniper who shoots... under 37% from 3.

[deneem4]

We win this easy...Atlanta not going to get 45 free throws and that line is the only thing saving them right now

[Sluggerface]

I don't know why they aren't trying to run the pick and roll more. Dennis got absolutely shredded by it in the regular season. He just can't fight through a Gortat screen.

Wall is going to have to play the entire 2nd half or sit a minute or two (if we have a decent lead). Beal the entire half unless he gets in foul trouble.

How about the dynamic Wall/Jennings combo with Bojan and Smith AND lazy ass Keef!

Forget Oubre and Otto

[CobraCommander]

Honestly this is the deference between the spurs and everyone else.

Excellent point. Hopefully, Brooks will figure it out.

TAKE MORE JUMPSHOTS DONT SPACE THE FLOOR OUT LIKE ATLANTA IS DOING LOL

[CobraCommander]

Atlanta is garbage! I am starting to hate them

[closg00]

Beal, earn your ridiculous Max Salary man.

8 minutes left in the 2nd quarter still playing an all bench unit. What am I watching

Brooks always shortens his bench in the second half. We're not going to see much of Jennings in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

[CobraCommander]

Millsap should PUNCH SOMEBODY IN THE FACE FOR THAT BS CALL

[J-Ves]

Beal being off is concerning. We all knew the bench sucked but I think most of us expected Beal to dominate

lol how was that not a foul on Keef?

[nate33]

Got away with one there. That's a foul on Morris. You can't lie down on a guy.

[NatP4]

Is Wall going to guard anyone at all? Lol.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Going from "we are going to win in four" at 18-8 to "we might get swept".

This is a tough opponent. Posted about this earlier.

The good news is IF the Wizards get past the Hawks they'll be playoffs tested and ready for all other East teams.

Beal won't stay cold all game. We're gonna be okay.
