2017 NBA Post-Season

I'm pretty much taking washington to win the east

Obviously biased, but I think Washington could have a hard time with the Celtics. Gortat cannot handle defending the P&R without help, and he can't get help unless they leave Gerald Green or Jae Crowder wide open for three. It's gonna force them to bench Gortat for another wing like Oubre or Bojan, and then the Celtics have someone they can hide Isaiah on.
 
The key player for the Wizards this series will be Markieff Morris. Boston was not scared at all of Mirotic last series, and defended him with a 31 year old SG. If Morris can drop points on the Celtics, it will probably force us to play bigger than we want, and then allows Washington to put back in Gortat.

Crowder is shooting 27.3% from three in the playoffs. They'd be smart to make guys like him, Bradley, Smart, etc. try to beat them.
 
Wall and Beal need to pick on Isaiah. If they both have a big series, you have to favor the Wizards. If the Celtics find a way to contain them, they'll probably win.

If the Celtics can score more points than the Wizards, I think they have a good shot 

 

[bosoxlover12]

The problem is that I don't think Beal will have a big series (not unimportant, but just not star-takeover) . We'll have Avery on him, and if the past two games on Jimmy Butler are any indication he'll do just fine holding him.
 
Wall will definitely get his against IT, and will definitely be tough for Boston, but Washington is gonna need someone in addition to Wall to score when AB is locking down Beal

tuned into the game with about 5:45 left and Breen said that the Celtics just got their first rebound

better than when jackson earlier said boston has yet to make a basket, or even get an assist.
 
 
as if you can get an assist without making a shot

 

[bosoxlover12]

AB is playing like Marcus Smart out there right now

 

[bosoxlover12]

Thomas+Olynyk = 20pts
rest of team = 2pts

 

[buzzy]

Worst homecourt advantage ever

Worst homecourt advantage ever

3-0 on the road though so far

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Against the bulls

 

[buzzy]

Boston should trade Rozier before they have to max him

 

[bosoxlover12]

It sucks Morris just went down, because I want a healthy series from both teams, but there was no contact from Horford there at all. That should not have been a foul

 

[CameronCrazy06]

What? That's an easy foul call

You have to let a shooter land on the ground
