Steaming mad right now. Unfortunately I called it. Once Washington called timeout 7.7 seconds left, Something told me they should've fouled immediately once Wall caught the ball. I had a sinking feeling the Wizards would hit a 3. Man I hope the C's take care of business in game 7. Man this loss hurts I was hoping the Horford shot iced it.

You don't foul when a team is down 2 and let them have a free chance to tie at the line. Especially with an 86% ft shooter.

Why put him on the line to tie / win the game? We didn't have a foul to give.

AB shouldve defended closer. While it was happening I was screaming at bradley for sagging too much.

Brown should've jumped the inbounds pass because it was close to 5 seconds. He allowed Wall to come through him and get it.

You can't give up a 3 in that situation.

Dude just emotional right now. Seriously I called it in my head. Once they called timeout I said to myself. "Guard the 3!!! , They're going for the win not the tie". So my emotional reaction is to foul. Overtime is better than losing like that with the Wall Dagger.

We can complain all we want but a 30 foot three pointer is there all day for anyone that wants to take it.  Give Wall credit for making the shot.

As far as fouling, not even worth responding to.  You don't give the team a free opportunity to tie the game.  That's just dumb.

I just wish AB was up on him tighter.

Just too much room when AB has the ability to stay with him.

Its a 30 foot shot sure, but you dont give it away just like that. He was too far off.

You have to play defense.  Avery gets up on Wall and he blows by him with ease.  Obviously we'd take that NOW, but I'll take a 30 ft 3-pointer from Wall all day long.  He just happened to make it.

Traditionally you go for the win at home. OT on the road.

Honestly, giving it away would have been playing too close and allowing an easy basket or even worse, an and 1.

Dude, unless im reading it wrong, i might be, the home team always goes for the tie if they are down. Road team goes for the win.
