Speaks volumes when you have guys like Lebron/Curry who avoid social media during the playoffs. They know what's at stake. We're obviously not there yet with our guys. SMH.

Going Commando Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 They're blowing off steam after a frustrating trip to Atlanta. And Buckner's tweet was stupid. But yeah, they need to ****ing focus. At the end of the day, they got thoroughly outplayed and dropped two games to an inferior team and focus and composure were big factors. They're showing immaturity. Wall and Gortat have played way too long to being doing that kind of stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Why is tomorrow's game at 6? Get ready for zero home court advantage because nobody can actually get to the arena at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

“Misdirection” Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Game at 6pm sucks. Reasoning was TNT wanted to maximize TV revenue. They had Celtics vs. Bulls @ 8, and Warriors vs. Blazers @ 1030 if they needed a game 5. But now Warriors swept, so there's an empty time slot, thus moving Wiz to 6PM and Celtics to 830PM. Sucks that TV rev means ridiculous time slots for fans to actually attend the games (this one, and 1PM Easter Sunday rather than the following Monday night), but money talks!

TradeTheBeal! Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Honestly, if worked in the city I'd be stoked for 6:00. Work through lunch, check out at 4:00 and be in full Riggo Mode by 5:15. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) 6 pm start!? Who the **** decided this ****! I could see if the game was on sat or sun.

Skin'emAlive Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The reason this series is close at all is because of three things: 1. Brad, Otto, and bogs have had poor shooting nights. 2. The only man who can guard milsap well gets a foul the second he comes close to him. It's as if Paul is Lebron's twin out here. Dude flops all night long, pushes off on every rebound, and gets every call in the world. It's hard enough to play against flopper royalty in Calderon and Ilyasova without getting a few calls. 3. Marcin Gortat fell off a cliff after game 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got home a half hour ago and I don't even live or work in DC. I'd be shocked if the arena were at even 75% capacity at tipoff tomorrow night. Ridiculous decision making by the NBA to neuter what was a damn good home court advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticksboi05 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The Wizards defense was garbage last night and a reporter tweeted about it. The only issue is it was directed at Wall when it should've been directed at Beal or Morris or the entire bench. Only issue with that, I swear people get so uptight about any criticism towards players as if it's out of protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcin Gortat fell off a cliff after game 2. I think your #1 point is a bigger issue than simply points missing from shots that aren't falling. In game 4 it also limited Wall and Gortat's effectiveness. The Hawks adjusted to our poor shooting throughout the series and took away the interior spacing instead of chasing off shooters. They went under screens and collapsed three, sometimes four, defenders when Wall would drive. They let Otto, Beal, and Bogs take open shots. While they did hit a few more of them than the had in previous games, they haven't proven efficient enough for it to matter. The Hawks focused more on destroying Wall's drives and pick and roll with the bigs. It worked. There is no excuse for the Hawks to be able to send help to anyone that bounces a ball and not have the Wizards offense absolutely explode. Guys have to earn their checks and hit shots the Hawks gift them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksun247 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 She wasn't wrong. Schroder has been torching Wall and the entire team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Now I do want to say I'm not entirely worried yet because the second half of the last game was a turning point for the guys who have been struggling. 1. Otto's mid range is back. It's not the three... But we can work with the long twos at this point. 2. Beal is back offensively. Now let's hope his defensive intensity is there next 3. Bogs hit two triples in the second half and found a little bit of confidence that was sorely needed. I have high hopes for tomorrow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
