TheItalianStallion Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Yeah why the heck wasn't Porter in at the end? Better D and rebounding, and Bogs' shot was off tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Boston is down to Atlanta in the third. Cleveland is going to get the one seed. We need to win out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 MIA twice down the stretch is scary. We never play them well, and they're battling hard for a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Didn't see tonight's game but I'm reading that Beal got what was essentially the game winner. Dude always seems to come up big in the clutch in MSG. I want to do to Miami what the Giants did to the Skins. Knock them out of the playoffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The Knicks have been playing pretty well over the past several games. This win is somewhat better than advertised. Shouldn't have been as close as it was at the end, but road wins are never gimmes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Brooks trusting Oubre in the 4th. Otto glued to the bench. Playoff performances will be huge for both guys going forward. Have to think that Brooks/EG might believe that they can get Otto's production, and then some, between a duo of Oubre/Bobo going forward. That max deal might not be a foregone conclusion.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Right now, Oubre is simply a more assertive and effective player than Otto. That's not really a condemnation of Otto as much as it's an acknowledgment that Kelly is beginning to fully realize his talent. It's a good problem to have and a tip of the cap to Brooks...cause this scenario would never happen under Wittman. He'd have buried Kelly on the bench right around Valentines Day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 100% going to give Otto his chance to play his way out of his funk, too. I expect he will, but if he doesnt we have options. And thats noice! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The problem I had wasn't playing Oubre over Otto, it was playing Bog over Otto. When he's not shooting well he's a negative player. Otto gives you better defense and rebounding. Let's face it, late in games Wall and a Beal aren't passing the ball very often anyway, there's no reason for Bog to be on the floor if he's not getting the ball. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 If it's not catch/shoot, Bobo struggles to create space to get off his shot. He's got no handles and that's going to be exploited if it's not hidden within the offense when the playoffs roll around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llevron Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Agreed on BoBuckets. But I think hes more than good enough in all of those areas to take advantage of his time against backups. I still want Otto over him. He brings more to the table. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Ya, I've lost count the number of times I've seen Bo drive right at the basket, so don't look at him as just a spot up shooter. Edited April 7, 2017 by Renegade7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like u said before, Wizards got matchup options between Bobo, Oubre, and Porter. Good problem to have and hopefully Brooks is smart enough to get the right guy out on the floor in key situations. Next year, I'd love to see Oubre get his FG% around 45 and his 3pt % up to 35. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'm not even trying to think about the Off-season right now, but it's going to be interesting. I feel like it's going to be a really important Off-season for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I really want us to win 50 and it looks like Coach Brooks does too. Psychologically it'd be a huge milestone for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin'emAlive Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'm not so big into petitions, but I think it's our duty to make it known we want Phil to stay. I've spent my whole life listening to Phil and buck and even when I'm thousands of miles away, they make me feel like I'm home. Please take a second to sign the petition.

TheItalianStallion Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Boston hasn't been so hot over the past several games, and their remaining opponents are Charlotte, Brooklyn, and Milwaukee. If Brooklyn can pull the upset, we actually still have a shot at the #2 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebreaker Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I didn't think Toronto was going to beat Miami tonight. Not as confident, looking at the rest of their games, if we will regain the 3rd seed. Do they have tiebreakers over us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchgear Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2701086-a-100-million-man-in-the-making-how-otto-porter-jr-shot-his-way-to-the-top Nice article about Otto. Quote Pierce's effect on Porter paid off during the final six weeks of the Wizards' 2014-15 campaign. Over Washington's last nine regular-season games, Porter shot 43.5 percent from three and averaged nearly 10 points per game. In the playoffs, he shot a sturdy 37.5 percent from deep, averaged 8.0 rebounds and scored in double figures five times in 10 outings, including a team-high-tying 17 points on the same night Pierce called game against the Atlanta Hawks. The following offseason, the Truth knew what he had to happen, so he declined a $5.5 million player option for 2015-16. "One of my reasons for leaving Washington, I felt like after that playoffs, it's time for Otto to step in there and take that spot," Pierce said. "Once I left, I felt like he was ready." Quote These days, Porter's game-day routine is just as reliable as his place in Brooks' starting five. He reads the Bible every day. He eats the same food every day. He watches the same thing on TV every day: cartoons. Tom and Jerry, to be specific. "Weird, right?" Porter admitted. "Very old school. I grew up watching that, so that definitely helps relax."

Cleveland can essentially pick their second round match up. We need to win out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
