Official Game Thread: Wizards at Hawks

We need to go back to sticking Hunter on Beal. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

2 good looks for Trae.  Didn't fall for him.

Bad 4th quarter for him to finish the game.  This is the type of stuff that Quin needs to address. 

Can't blow end of game situations like that.

Why wasn't Hunter guarding Beal?

[StonedDogs]

Good loss. No harm. Trae had two good looks but I love it ended in his hands. He's our closer and he'll make those in the future in the playoffs. Grear hustle tonight all around.

[Vol4ever]

Punty was undefeated 

[Peoriabird]

I don't know guys...y'all just see something I just don't see.  Maybe Young will be smarter in the future but right now, I just don't see it.

[JayBirdHawk]

Fire Quin, we want The Prunty!  

[NBASupes]

Trae and Murray played like dog shit in the last three minutes and we still had a shot in a game Beal went nuts.

I’m not making excuses for Trae. He was terrible in the 4th but I believe he hurt his wrist earlier in the 4th or late in the 3rd. I can’t remember when but he did hurt his wrist.

I like the overall energy from the team, Quinn has to start working on late game execution. 

NawL.

Some of this loss we can lay at the refs feet.  After that OO recall, they just lost their minds and starting calling everything Washington's way.  

Also .. we had no answer for Beal.   He earned his 0.75 Million dollars tonight.

This was definitely not a good loss.

Because we usually have Murray on the best guard but Beal is just too big for Murray to guard. 

[Jody23]

This loss is tough.  Really can't afford to lose these.

[NBASupes]

Snyder deserves blame for the defensive possession.

Think you quoted the wrong post. I said nothing about the refs.

He plays emotionally.  It's the stuff that makes him great.  But he has to learn when to dial it back and make the correct play.  Quin needs to beat into his head that he will not get foul calls at the end of games.  So he either has to commit to running pick and roll, or move the ball around to his teammates.

Well, if you have Murray on Beal, then you stop switching.  They were dialing up the Murray Trae switch for us.   And when we started to recognize it, we were still doing something like a switch.   Murray was never what I would call tight on Beal.  Beal always had space.   No picks either.

He kept driving too deep into the teeth if the defense, should hv looked to pull it out or pass.
