Getting swept in the playoffs is not overachieving breh. You don’t over achieve with a top 5 PG and a top 15 player getting knocked out of the playoffs in the first round more times than not. Unless you’re talking about the regular season then hell yeah they be overachieving. But as a whole, nah.
to get hot and reach the 3 seed in the west with that garbage ass team is overachieving. fukking Ed Davis, Evan Turner and Aminu actually receive significant minutes out there :hhh:.

nicca, i don't wanna hear that shiet, hawks beat them niccas in six, and if it wasnt for a lucky paul pierce shot, they would have beat them in 5, them niccas suck, that's like saying the clippers would have beat the warriors if they just got past that 3-1 series lead they had over the rockets

half that hawk team was walking injured by the way
:gucci: You’re saying a team missing their best player for THREE playoff games in a series that went six doesn’t matter? How does that make anyone sense? The Hawks didn’t have one player from their starting five miss a game, The Wizards best player missed half the series and they were still an Al Horford tip in away from being up 3-2.

Memphis Grizzlies/Auburn Tigers
2014: Blazers=Wizards
This is basically a wash. Both teams first year in the playoffs, both get a first round upset as a #5 seed before bowing out to a superior opponent in the second round

2015: Wizards>Blazers
This year belongs to Washington easily. Sweep the higher seeded Raptors in the first round then are arguably a John Wall hand injury away from the ECF. Meanwhile the Blazers get mauled by the Grizz in the first round

2016: Blazers>Wizards
Fairly cut and dry here. Blazers make the playoffs and take advantage of key injuries to CP3 and Griffin to get past the Clippers, then put up a decent fight against the Warriors in the second round. Washington doesn't even make the playoffs

2017: Wizards>Blazers
Wizards take care of the Hawks in the first round and get within a game of the ECF. Blazers squeak in the playoffs as an 8 seed and get washed by the Warriors

2018: Wizards=Blazers
Probably the hardest year to rate. Blazers had a far more successful regular season and grab the 3rd seed, only to be embarrassingly swept by a lower seeded Pelicans team. Wizards on the other hand squeak into the playoffs but have a good battle with the Raptors as an 8 seed

Wall/Beal easily if they got serious and ditched the personal issues.

Wall is 6'5 Beal is a big ass 2 guard who can shoot lights out.

Dame is tiny and McCullough is skinny - they play fearless though

Wall and Beal easily just off size and skills alone. Beal can play bully ball if he got serious.

Damian lillard is a better point guard than wall and it is not close, john walls defense does not make up for him being a terrible shooter and not being reliable. Mccolum is a better shooting guard than bradley beal. CJ mccolum would be an all star in the east.

Dame and CJ are both 6'3"
Wall is 6'4" and Beal is barely 6'5"....nikka more like 6'4"

Really not much of a size difference tbh
