    Below 25 fg% this half I think, definitely not the norm. Many good looks, just plain missing everything.

    Wall is an elite passer

    Didn't need to.
    They needed a stop. Bud trusted his defense and they failed to follow through.

    Wizards are dark horses to come out of the East. Most surprising team of the playoffs.

    Best case scenario was down 4 with about 15s remaining. I'd foul

    Budenhozer should've called at least 1 timeout after they got the offensive rebounds on 2 consecutive possessions because they simply weren't getting good shots. He also should've fouled instead of letting Wall run down the clock for a Gortat alley-oop. Outcoached by Wittman?

    Wittman(Washington's coach for those who don't know) playing that long con. Didn't play Paul Pierce as power forward all season long but first thing he did in the playoffs was just that. Also his team is taking less long 2's and more 3's. Basically revamp and fixed the offensive system right in time for the playoffs. It's crazy.

    I now respect the Wizards. When Beal went down, I thought they were done. John Wall was not to be denied and closed the game like an elite player.

    If the Wizards continue this level of defense, Hawks are in big trouble. Hawks have to continue moving the ball, set harder picks and play with more energy when the Wizards get intense. They abandoned their offense in the 2nd half much too easily.

    I know Atlanta won 60 games, and they looked legit at one point, but they aren't very good right now.

    This is one of the least impressive 2nd round series you will see, these 2 are a notch below the other 6 still playing.

    They had attendance issues despite having the second best record in the league. What fanbase?
