By people sleeping on him, you mean @WiggyRuss ?

Lol, not just him. Was thinking more of just the overall conversation in the general public

He really is. I feel like people sleep on him for some reason. You don't hear his name brought up much when really he's a Top 5 PG. He can pretty much do it all. The Wizards have a shot at a long playoff run so maybe that will finally open some eyes.

Could not agree more. He is a top 5 PG in an era dominated by point guard play.

Personally, I put Wall ahead of Lillard and on the same level as CP3. The gap between the superstar and at the position and Wall is pretty small. The fact that Wall plays much better defense than Curry, Russ and Harden narrows the gap even more.

I wonder how ol wiggy feels about the fact that two women know more about basketball than he does...

WAll has definitely grown a pair- I def. give him credit for how he has played this year. He has finally started to tap into that immense potential in a significant way- gotten on the same page with Beal etc.--- he will be 27 before next season starts. IT was about time he started stepping up and becoming a leader and not just a really talented schmuck.

he still cant shoot a 3 though to save his life. If the Cavs play them at some point i am sure it will be something they try and exploit.

As for the Wiz in general- if the Cavs play them- look for Love to have a big series- they have zero answer for him. Kyrie will play Wall into mostly a standstill- then you have LeBron---- and the Wiz have ZERO answer or K Love.

 

[WiggyRuss]

anyone surprised Bogdonovic has sucked ass thus far in the playoffs?

not this guy

<-------------------------------------------------------- 3/15 from the field, 1/6 from 3- 10 points

just glad the Wiz didnt make a real move at the deadline or they mightve been able to actually push the Cavs a little if they face eachother.


Atlanta is such a mentally weak team.

Who knows how well the Wizards will do this postseason. I am just glad that they are showing some progress. However - thanks for reminding me to root against the Cavs no matter what. If the rest of the fanbase consists of dicks like you then why would anyone outside of Cavs or LaBron fans root for them?

im just saying LOVe is a great matchup against the Wiz.

they dont have anyone that is quick enough with size to guard him. If its Gortat- Love will rip him up on the outside-- if its Morris - Love will take him inside and make him pay.

Love is a great matchup vs. the Wiz.

Good luck with that!

*sigh*

Yeah, I know we're stuck with him.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Only way we can get back in this series if we win both these home games and make it a three-game series.

 

[bksballer89]

Can Dwight give Atlanta 17/12/2?

 

[Demonjoe93]

I'm really looking forward to seeing how Taurean Prince develops in the future.

 

[bksballer89]

Wizards are just messing with their alternate jerseys this playoffs?

They wore their home alternate jerseys in the first 2 games and road alternate today

 

[Demonjoe93]

Hawks' young guns stepping it up. I like seeing that.

 

[bksballer89]

Great start for the Hawks

 

[Demonjoe93]

Bazemore comes in and gets a defensive-three.

 

[Hambombs]

Good start for the hawks.
