Jeffrey Teague is hurt.  He tweaked his ankle in the Brooklyn series, and has not been the same.  His jump shots are short, his floaters are not going in, and he has missed how many layups now?

 

Teague knows that he is the fuel that fires this team, and the Wizards know that he is not a threat right now in the pick and roll game.   I think that Teague is obviously playing very timid and almost not to get hurt again.  He is not playing with the same vigor and relentless approach as he did in the regular season. 

 

 

Thoughts?

There's another PG from Wake Forest who's also hurt but actually looks like he gives a sh*t about winning.

there is also a point in memphis who is playing with a broken face and a foot injury but i still see him taking charges, diving on the floor for loose balls, and playing lock down D on the league MVP.

No more excuses for anybody. I don't want to hear anything about ankles, or fingers, or faces, or shoulders, or allegedly having to take a shit.

If you're well enough to be on the floor, give MAXIMUM effort to try to overcome whatever ails you.

Excuse time is over. Either they want to win or they don't.

Yeah you really can't bring up that argument without first acknowledging other players that are playing with more severe injuries and are giving their maximum effort in every game. As much as I love Teague, he hasn't shown in this playoffs that he's willing to give that effort. It shouldn't take being down 10 after half to now suddenly flip the switch. That switch needs to be on at all times, and if a bum ankle is preventing you from giving maximum effort, hand the reigns to Dennis.

Horsefeathers!

 

Did we not all see Paul Pierce, lying on the floor in terrible pain,

apparently on the point of death?  Yet, he recovered and came

on to hit the wining shot in game three.

 

We must remember, however,  Paul Pierce is a fast healer.  We have

all watched him as they rolled him out in a wheelchair, disabled for life,

only to return a few moments later and resume play as if nothing

had ever happened.

 

Seriously, too bad our own Jeff Teague can't be a fast healer like PP.

Teague needed to play better and he did. That play in the 4th quarter where he hot blocked twice, didn't give up on the play and got a steal then the foul that's the Teague we want to see.

He has to find other ways for his impact to be felt in different ways when his shot is not falling.

Actually, Jeffrey proved the "haters" right when he did precisely as they say he should and succeeded. If he happened to have achieved last night's play while playing the same lackadaisical game that people were complaining about then you could say he proved them wrong,
