Wizards Blast Celtics to Even Series at 2
The Wizards slapped the Celtics 121-102 to even the series at 2 games apiece. John Wall is doing whatever out there on the floor. A couple arguments been on my twitter timeline lately about Wall. First one is "Is Wall a top 5 point guard in the NBA?" and "Is John Wall better than Kyrie Irving?" Right Now Wall is definitely top 5 in the NBA. Averaging 28 points and 12 assist per game in this series, John Wall is going the rare ability to finish at the rim and pass the ball at the highest level. In this series John Wall is averaging 28 points and 12 assist. I'll leave the Wall versus Kyrie debate up to you, but Wall has the Wizards just 2 wins away from its first eastern conference finals since 1978.
Washington is just a better team than the Celtics. They have more fire power on offense and a much better rebounding team. The series is even but the Wizards were up by 14 and 17 in both losses respectively. As far as toughness go Washington is the toughest team in the east. Boston is having a hard time matching the physicality the Wizards is playing with. Isaiah Thomas is as tough as they come but at 5'7" he's not physically imposing. Jae Crowder plays with passion but opponents don't back down to him. Al Horford lack of toughness has been the Achilles heel for the Celtics throughout the playoffs. Gortat and Markieff Morris are controlling the paint. Coach Brad Stevens will have to find a way to neutralize the paint and control the boards better.
I have Boston winning Game 5 because I feel like Isaiah Thomas will have another huge scoring night. I also have this series going 7 games and it's going to come down to which team is the toughest when it's all said and done.
