Beal made that 3 and his man is Bradley. Beal didn't check him so Oubre was supposed to help out. He was late and of course started pointing everywhere. Maybe he's just not ready for primetime but not a lot of other options with Keef out and Bogs ineffective.

And this game is going identically to game 1. So boring man. Double digit lead in 1st quarter, subs come in, lead cuts in half, barely make it with a lead going into half-time.

Then get crushed in the 3rd quarter.

Man we got 1 player..... BTW. Have yall noticed that they pull Isiah out quick when Wall starts abusing him...and Boston still plays solid. Then they put Isiah back fresh against our team. Seems like coaching....odd

Wall simply won't fight through a screen at all. Beal can't stay Infront of anyone

Beal needs a redbull at half time. Actually give the whole team a redbull on defense.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

You'd think, at some point, they'd start trying on defense. But they really don't think Boston can keep up with our offense.

Wrong.


They were just standing around after a made three on the break, I have no idea how that happens.

Did they perhaps hear a whistle blown?

Wall and Beal just don't seem to know how to fight around a screen. Their one-on-one defense is fine.

Maybe we need a different strategy in defending pick-and-rolls. Instead of our bigs dropping, we ought to trap.

NOT READY AT ALL. All effort and athleticism but not intelligence

It feels like a loss honestly, very similar to game 1.

They have enough guard depth to give Thomas a breather. When Smart was embarrassing himself they just put the ball in Roziers hands.

Washington has Jennings, that's it.

Almost singlehandedly, Beal has given this game away.

Disappointed in Morris taking himself out of the game with foul trouble yet again.

Things pretty much went south when he went out.

Surprised that Brooks isn't noticing that the small ball lineup favors Boston. Play Jason Smith.
