Wall-less Wizards win game 3! Paul Pierce heroics

[Orange Soda King]

I was so happy to see the Wizards win. I really hope they have two more in them and Wall can come back for conference finals. It's great they have a veteran and legend like Pierce who can turn back the clock when needed.

I was ecstatic to see them pull it out today, despite not having a player like Wall who has played as good as any player in the playoffs. Once he comes back, and starts averaging his 25 and 13 again, they're going to be incredibly tough to beat. It's definitely nice for them to have a player like Pierce who can step up when needed.

It's weird, Paul Pierce is a Kansas Jayhawk but he's played so many years with former UK players that i've pretty much watched and cheered for him his whole career. First with Antoine Walker in Boston, then with Rondo...now with Wall and the Wizards. The guy is unbelievable in clutch situations and NOBODY talks more trash. He's probably my second favorite non-UK NBA player of all-time after Jordan.

He has also played with Teague, Delk, and McCarty.

When healthy this team will be a tough out.
If the wiz were to somehow beat atl and then move on past cleve/chi winner, wall would be getting the recognition he deserves. They have the pieces in place to make this run, it's all about health

Give me a break. No the Hawks were LUCKY to be in the situation anyways as when I left to go out to dinner it was 85-66 Wizards early 4th. The Wizards were bitchslapping the Hawks without Wall. I would still favor the Hawks in the series ultimately due to Wall's injury but with a fully healthy Wizards' team it is not close IMO. Regular season does not matter, Wizards are playing as well as anyone in the East right now when healthy.

You just have missed using Pierce on NBA 2K.

That was a Quote that will live forever (even if it's already common trash talk on the playground).

I pulling for the Wizards simply because of Wall, but don't really care. I know the Hawks have had a great year, and it would be tough for them to lose short of at least the conference finals. Is Wall expected to play again this year?

Bud has to get his substitution patters back in order. Millsap with the flu was devastating.
The reserves were incredible and had more than 1 legit shot at winning yesterday.
Game 4 IMO will be the series victor.

Poor ATL...Wall not playing at all was more devastating. Like I said, I was rude to call this team a fraud in anger, but their roster is just not very impressive come playoff time.
