Who would know the difference if he snuck in from the locker room to spell his brother. Apart from the box score showing M. Morris 48 mins, there would be nothing to see.

#PlayoffsJohnWall is a thing

Actually, Wall has been pretty bad in the playoffs so far in his career. He has averaged just 16 points and 8.5 assists per 36 with a TS% around .470.

It was kind of surprising when they mentioned that Wall broke his playoff career high point total yesterday when he only had 28 points at the time.



Did any of those games come when he had a broke wrist? I think healthy #PlayoffsJohn is a thing...

I also think if we need 30 and 12 to win this series...we in trouble. I would much rather have 30 from beal and Wall keep getting them dimes and run down blocks.

I don't think Atlanta has enough in the tank any more. The offseason has taken its toll. The Wizards played badly but kept their poise and won easily. If Beal is hitting, and we keep this level of focus, Wizards are going to Atlanta 2 - 0.

It may be that Mahinmi going out for a week is like the best thing that could have happened to us.

I wonder if Bud will play less Howard more Muscala as a C in game 2. They are the better team with DH out. But Howard ego could be hurt.

Beal has been the Zard who has turned it up the most the last two playoffs. So beating the Hawks without a stellar game from BB is noteworthy given that I expect to Beal to go into playoff beast mode in Game Two.

Kief plays better with his bro in attendance.
