He supposedly had a good reason for it (Delonte West banging his Mom) but he most certainly had a terrible close out game against the Celtics in.... either 09 or 10. Who knows maybe Delonte West struck again and thats why the Beard was so out of it. And LeBron was hammered for that performance. Justifiably so, because he visibly quit against the Celtics.

DunderMifflin Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 What's weird is watching the game Lebron appeared to be out of it and not playing with passion but he still got a triple double that game. Not that that means he played well, just such a high standard that a triple double still means a choke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the Washington basketball franchise has not been a game away from a conference finals in his lifetime. I am and still in shock - that's the kind of game the Wizards never win. The whole last two minutes from when the Wizards were down 5 were incredibly improbable. Basically required Beal and Wall to both make 3's late when the former was 0/7 from distance up until that final one and Wall basically had no touch all night. Even more improbably Kelly Oubre made a smart play to neutralize what was very likely to have been a Brad Stevens game-winning out of bounds play. Wall gets to be the hero, but Bradley Beal won that game by providing scoring when no-one else could do shit - which was pretty much the whole game. Wall was awful in the first half. Still super satisfying to see the young backcourt put up a combined 43 points in the 2nd half to scratch and claw to extend the season at least a couple more days. Was pretty much the exact opposite of what Harden did. 21 hours ago, Manhole Eunuchsbane said: I imagine Sir Jaime in his his cups right about now.

I still think even with that Wall dagger, the Wizards are underdogs. I don't think this Celtics team will be fazed by that. The big issue is the Celtics have owned them at home. Wizards have only won one road game all playoffs and that required Wall and Beal combining for 73 points against Atlanta. I think they'll need to do the same to beat the Celtics in Boston. I'm traveling to the UK tomorrow and it just kills me that I'm gonna miss game 7. Also missed Warriors-Cavs Game 7 by being in the UK last year. I'm the fucking worst.

I feel like that dagger by Wall will have a huge impact on him and the Wizards as a whole. It feels like, to me, that was a hump Wall needed to get over. I think his play and confidence is sky high right now. And, its what will be enough to get the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for as great as Wall has been all season he really doesn't have a ton of game-winners under his belt. It's the one big thing Isaiah has over him...at least until last night. Hopefully that's the final key that unlocks the best version of John Wall in game 7 - the kind of Lebron "FU - I'm the best player on the floor and you're not stopping me" mentality. 23 minutes ago, aeu said: Seriously...

Expected Isaiah's late 5 point flurry to be the dagger in a game where it was so tough to get buckets. And even after that Horford and Bradley both made clutch shots. And somehow the Wizards stole it anyway and I'm still not entirely sure how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudfeet Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I really hope the Spurs do well, but I can't see how they can win short of the Warriors just missing their 3 pointers. You can't even count on winning the bench because the Warriors can just stagger their stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Spurs looking game early. Playing solid defense and taking a measured, precise approach on offense. Spurs up 20-14 with about 2 minutes left in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blech. Sloppy ass quarter for the Dubs. 6 turnovers and some really bad rushed shots here at the end of the quarter. Time to get Kerr on the horn.

Oh yeah, if the Warriors pull this out, it's solely because Kawhi went out. They couldn't get any sort of rhythm with Leonard on the floor.
