I’m not positive but Bogi seemed pissed at Trae for not helping on that Westbrook drive.  Just stood there.  Then he comes back with a tough shot and a  good foul.  This kid is so over the place lol.

Well Nate took him out on defense at the end, and went with Kevin, Bogi, Solo, JC and Capela.

Never doubt brother.  They’re the Wiz, and this team has a knack of stringing stops and scores together in a hurry.

Had it in the bag the whole time, huh?

At the time I called it would take 5 to 10 years for us to be back... Well done, guys! I officially have some respect for Schlenk now.

YUMMY! 

 

So.  Can we call tanking a success?  Nevermind.  No more threads about that.

HOW 'BOUT THEM PLAYOFF HOX!?!?!

 

 

Damn I wonder what happened after March 1st

Hopefully we lock in this 4 seed. The least we can do after Pierce trash ass robbed us of a top 3 seed

And the narrative continues

Just gotta say, I really like Hachimura. He's gonna be special one day. Wiz got a good player there.

[benhillboy]

Boy I’m glad that Gafford dude got tired or something.  Had he played the rest of the game over Len I don’t know.  The drop off from what he was doing to Len was like Jay Z dumping Beyoncé for Lil Kim.

[ATLHawks3]

That was a playoff-like game.

Sometimes watching the Hawks is exhausting. Tonight was one of those times for me. Seemed like it was 1 step forward then 2 steps back all night then a flurry at the end to win. 

Great win. Now get two more and rest up for a playoff run.

When JC threw the bad pass down the court I was about to have a coronary. Made up for it with the clutch three.

If Cam had gone #9, I wonder if we would have taken him.

dunno but he looks every bit like a budding star. Very marketable too!  Never going to wonder where his next meal is coming from.

Hahaha....Well, you better rest up and get ready for the roller coaster playoff ride.  They played a full 48 minutes. Growth!

[bleachkit]

How about Bogi? The difficulty of the three point shots he hits are off the charts. Some of his off ball movement is almost Curry-esque at times. He was also tasked with the assignment with guarding Westbrook for much of the game, and although he didnt stop him, he did disrupt him a number of times.

No, I for one will never call tanking a successful strategy. On the contrary. We are on the same exact spot we were 5-6 years ago.

We still haven't won anything, but I'm hopeful.

[JTB]

First off glad we won....of course! Can’t sleep on the next 2 games however.

 

I have two gripes about this one!

1. This was an important game as far as seeding goes and it didn’t feel like this team had any real energy until the 4th. That’s not a good thing...change that mentality especially with the playoffs around the corner! Hawks played the first 3 quarters like they were supposed to win the game.

2. I will always defend Trae young but tonight he made some very questionable shot selections down the stretch BUT at the same time made great playmaking decisions!....smh...get it together Trae. Attack the basket relentlessly when the lane is open. I understand you have to take the 3 ball to keep the defense honest but just be better.

 

Ive seen some this was a playoff feeling type of game....yeah well in my opinion it didn’t have to be. Not discrediting the Wiz I just don’t think we played anywhere near what we are capable of.
