the argument upstairs over RC vs McDonough is more exciting than the East.
This is the problem of Washington. They comit some dumb errors, keep trying the same and missing again. Wall and Beal miss tons of shots.

they are young. IMO if they can take Pacers to 6 or 7 games their season can be called a success. they will
Wall didn't throw the game, he just sucks, tbh..one of the most overrated players in the NBA..
I'll never understand why fans glorify guards that can't shoot, it's puzzling..

His midrange shot has gotten better this year, but he's still a non-threat outside of 20 feet. luckily the team is still built to cater to his game for the most part. both Nene and Gortat are accurate enough to run the PnR and both can jumpshoot a little too. Beal is one of the great young shooters in the league, and Ariza decided to have the best season of his career shooting from outside, so the lineup complements Wall. the issue is, a good defensive squad will always be able to expose a weak link in your offense, and its especially easy to do so if that player is the primary ball handler.
Indiana's defense from the regular season has fallen off, but they still can patch together good games. Wall needs to improve his jump shot more, like Rose did. I know Rose still wasn't a great shooter, but after his 1st/2nd years you couldn't just sag off of him Rubio/Rondo style anymore. That said I still think Wall has room to grow, he's already improved his mid range shot, he just needs to keep on it. still, i dont think he will be a true #1 unless he's on a very balanced/stacked team. their starting 5 is solid, but Nene won't get younger and their bench is pretty bad rn
Just a badly executed game in general. Washington's offense was all pick and roll (usually Wall/Beal with Gortat, or maybe Nene) while the other guys stand on the side.
Indiana got some off ball movement, but there were a few instances where all 5 players were on one side of the court. Just really weird offensive schemes.
Also mentioned, Wall took some horrible WTH shots the last couple of minutes. I mean, what was he thinking? He jacked up like 3 threes in a row or something, down three with 2 minutes left or so. Given it was Indiana, get a quick two, trust your defense, then get another two. Pacers still haven't figured out how to keep Wall off the paint, and if they can have a Wall/Gortat pick and roll, with Beal and Nene having some off ball screen on the other side, while Ariza gets camped in the corner, they can score most of the time on the Pacers.
Hibbert looked like Kareem yesterday. By that, I mean a 48 year old Kareem. Slow, mechanical, can still score, ref-dependent, can barely rebound, played soft, falls a lot. The 28 points was nice, but this is not the Hibbert from last year's Miami series.
One more thing, Hibbert played as well as he could, and Wall stunk, yet the Pacers won by only 2, at home. Not looking good for the Pacers.
Miami will sweep their way to the finals.
are u calling out enrique?
Return of Hibbert, sexual version, tonight?
LOL, Doris Burke talking about how great Wall has been in the playoffs right as they flash the stats of him shooting 33% in the playoffs.
But he misses a lot of shoots the whole season. Or at least at the games wich I watched.

Indy is probably the worst first seed in the history of the NBA. Despite scraping by the first round and still struggling with teams they should blow out, this indy team sure is putting on a disgraceful show.
Eastern Conference![]()
This isn't even good defense. Both of these teams are just pure garbage.
Spurs would outscore both team combined
20 pts in 18 minutes? WTH, are they going to break 50?
I hope Heat will be bored after sweaping whole conference.
4 pts run causing a timeout![]()
Wizards ting the bed when Indiana practically gave up
teams, East smh
wtf Wizards got away with 1 flop foul call and the next 4 consecutive plays they try to flop again?
