I haven't followed the Wizards but is Beal challenging Wall for the Wizard's leader?

Just like that, the raptors bench closed the gap. That's a deep team right there.

Hate to say it but the Raptors might be fools gold yet again. Their bench clearly carries this team & I cannot ever remember that translating into the post-season.

Also, Hubie is an underrated announcer. Clearly past his prime & a bit old school but he's easily one of it not the most knowledgeable personalities in the game.

Well I don’t know if that’s what’s really happening. Wall is hurt and when Beal and Wall were on the floor together...they were not working as well with the team as when Wall was hurt. Pretty much Wall and Beal were both playing Iso basketball...trading iso situations. Wall a ton of shots and Beal a ton of shots...the rest of the team not “eating”....

Now its Beals squad cause Wall not here...and Sato not as talented as Wall so he is running the offense.

Unlike the Cs we dont have a undisputed best player. We got two guards that are pretty much equals. Kinda like Toronto or Portland....none of us any good unless we can get more than 2 good guards to play well when it matters.

It’s never a bad thing to have depth .

They’re so consistent.

Sometimes their starters are inconsistent but most of the time they’re not.

So if their starters are on as well...gonna be tough to beat

Raps may have to trade Lowry/JV/Ibaka this offseason to get this 2nd unit starting minutes!

our bench is better than our starters but Casey is too scared to rock the boat with our starters. :mad:

That sucks if there's looking to be something negative brewing up there.

Why the Raptors even bother playing their starters past the first two minutes I'll never understand.

Love Hubie. He knows about ALL the players - not just the stars that he’s told to hype like so many others. So nice being able to watch a Wizards game w/o having to hear about John Wall and how it’s absurd that they can be better w/o him every 30 seconds.
