TPs to all, good night. Enjoyable game even if that FT gaffe almost made me throw my remote. I will bow out before the post-victory complaints begin.

It says something that Kyrie just put up 38, including two dagger threes in the last minute, yet Smart was still the player of the game.

Yeh, amazing isn’t he?

[Surferdad]

Get Irving out !!!

He is killing us on defense.

Well his 3’s are better than Wall’s 2’s.

[footey]

Sweet win. Comeback started with defense.

25/25 from foul line. Can’t recall that proficiency before.

Great comeback win against a bad team.  Need to win those games.  Continues to be disappointing to see opposing PGs go absolutely ham on us, though - Wall with 34-13-7-2-1 on 53% shooting. 

[blink]

these are the type of games we pulled out a lot last year.  Good to see our mojo is moving in the right direction.  Morris / Smart / Kyrie all played really well

“Ham”?

Everyone will give Irving credit - but he gave up one layup after another in regulation and overtime. If he plays defense, we don't need those miracle 3's he made.

Well sure, but to be fair Wall was shredding our entire team.  Irving also drew a huge charge against Wall late in the 4th.

Kyrie is clutch
Kyrie isn’t a good defender
Smart is both

[Jvalin]

Why on earth were we playing with 3 guards and 2 wings at the same time?

Rozier-Kyrie-Smart-Tatum-Morris

There was no one to protect the paint. No one to secure the rebound either.

Anyway, hats off to Kyrie for the 3-pointers in the clutch! Smart has been great throughout the game as well! 

[Surferdad]

What kind of shot was that by Irving?.......   

But I like it.

On the replay, Wall turned his head for just a split-second so Kyrie went up with it.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

7 in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, it’s official now. 

TP

If I'm a Wizards fan I have a legit complaint about the officiating tonight.  It was poorly called on both sides, but they had 27 fouls, we had 19.  Granted we were aggressive for a lot of the game, but that's a huge disparity.

He wasn't shredding the entire team - Wall was going right by Irving, who was pretending to guard him. Just no resistance. And his 3's were miracles.
