RE: NBA Playoffs

Lol.....the Pacers are so bad offensively. This is a pleasure watching Washington school them.

Yeah Darth and Broken, Parker is a better point guard than Wall.

Lol.....talk about clueless.

RE: NBA Playoffs

You know why Hibbert is "better" than Nene and Gortat? Because his team made the Eastern Conference Finals last year. Therefore he has pedigree and clout.

Makes a lot of sense there Darth.

RE: NBA Playoffs

Hibbert is a bigger factor vs. Miami than Gortat and Nene would be just due to his size. As an offensive threat I agree that he is limited except he does damage against the weak Miami frontcourt.

RE: NBA Playoffs

Wow, I wonder if the Wizards could even be competitive against the "LeBron please score 40 to save us" Miami Heat, considering how they are thrashing the Heat's great "rival".

We may see soon enough pal. Lebron can beat that team by himself if he has to, there's a world of difference between elite and John Wall.

RE: NBA Playoffs

This is what you get for putting Andre Miller in the game. An instant 16-2 run for the Pacers.

We agree on that, Miller had seen his better days 5 years ago, he has a long overdue announcement to give...

Yeah, a world of difference between John Wall and Mr. I need the Spurs to miss free throws and Ray Allen to hit a three for me off a lucky bounce because I spent the whole Finals trying to get my teammates involved.

If only Wall was just 5-11 and flipped the ball up at the rim like he is flaunting himself at an LGBT parade, maybe he could be as good as Tony Parker.

His basketball intelligence has always been highly overrated. It's not just his age.

RE: NBA Playoffs

If JR Smith came into a game and the other team went on a 16-2 run, we would be hearing about it for a week. When Andre Miller comes in and the other team goes on a 16-2 run, we hear nothing about it, because it is just assumed that Miller is such a smart, heady player.

The Wizards need to get Nene back in soon. Gooden is really struggling out there.

That said, that was a great tip attempt by Gooden off Nene's miss and Gooden can hit free throws.

RE: NBA Playoffs

Great win if Wizz can close it out. Couple of rookie mistakes from Beal late but the kid has future. He will hear about that airball at the free throw line from the guys though...

RE: NBA Playoffs

Wittman got really lucky that Beal hit two of those fadeaway shots. He kept Wall out way too long. That was playing with fire.

RE: NBA Playoffs

Well we know from last series that Washington won't be satisfied with just a split like some teams are after winning game 1 on the road. In the LAC-GS series I thought that was a big mistake, Golden State won a tough game 1 and then lost game 2 by 40. That's not just about LAC getting hot and Golden State going cold, that is about one team being desperate and the other being overly satisfied.

Indy is up against it this series as Washington is a legit team for sure.

CP3 is eating them alive with the shooting and passing so far.

RE: NBA Playoffs

That is the offensive power I was talking about that the Clips have. 69 points on the road in a play-off game. They have so many options. Let's see how OKC deals with it in the second half.

RE: NBA Playoffs

This figures to be a real high scoring series much like the Golden State series.

RE: NBA Playoffs

So far, 50 three pointers have been jacked up by both teams combined. Still nowhere near what Hawks did (was it 44?) in one of the games against Indy.
