Game 2 a game the Wizards should of won he was horrible
Game 3 he was trash as well 11pts
Game 5 was trash

Wall was consistent every game except the second half tonight
And clearly was the better player don't know what the hell u was watching
And the fact Beal struggled to take advantage of Thomas guarding him left me mind boggled
6'5 and couldn't post up a 5'9 nygga

Game 3 he wasn't trash, he played amazing defense on IT

 

[Diyhai]

Game 3 he wasn't trash, he played amazing defense on IT

can't be serious
he is not a good defender at all
he was horrible
U saw Thomas had a bad game and try to give that to Beal nygga please
Beal defense is harden like

 

[Liquid]

Beal was the Wizards' best player in this series.

He was?

That's news to me.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Bron wont sweep them. With the constant focus and story about IT and the adversity he faced....I wouldn't be surprised if the Celtics win. Shyt be fixed like that sometimes plus a lot want IT to win.

how you go from they won't get sweeped to they might win?? The NBA gonna fix it so the Celtics beat the Cavs because a Celtic's sister died tragically? Where do they find you brehs?

First of all, you said he was "trash the whole series", and now you only reference three out of seven games as examples of him being trash. Wall most definitely wasn't consistent in every game (I don't know how the hell anyone could come to that conclusion after watching that series). Just about every single thing you said in this post and the one prior is the opposite to what actually happened.

Nobody told you to take those Wall-colored glasses off before watching the games?

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Beal was the Wizards' best player in this series.

Nah

25/10 > Beal's 23 on efficient shooting

First 4 games Wall was clearly better
Beal shot nicely in game 4..but it was Wall's 27/12/5 steals that helped dead that game.

Wall was better in game 5. But thats not saying much.

Beal was better the last two games tho.

 

[mastermind]

Yeah, Wall was better than Beal this series as a whole.

In the last two games, Beal stepped up.

Genuinely dont care tho.

And what are his percentages when averaging those 25 points?

I'm not really concerned with how many assists Wall averaged in that series, by the sheer fact since he controls the ball as much as he does, he's going to assists no matter how good or bad he plays, or how good or bad his team plays. If you're the primary ball-handler who occupies 80+% of your team's possessions and you're averaging basically 40 minutes (his time of possession was nearly 10 minutes a game in that series!), chances are you're gonna get a high amount of assists. This is why I dont fukk with the box score like that (well, I try not to), but that's a conversation for another day. Wall was most certainly good in spurts, but he was the very definition of inconsistent. I don't know how the hell anyone could come to the conclusion that he was consistent in that series. Which I put down to his conditioning, and it's the first time he's actually played a full postseason without any setbacks since 2014. One shouldn't expect him to be consistent throughout every series considering that, with the offensive load he has to carry on a team built as poorly as the Wizards are.

Beal was just more consistent and reliable throughout the series, on both ends of the floor (which isn't saying much). IMO.

 

[Trapperman Dave]

That's news to me.

Me too. Could have sworn he struggled in the away games cept for last night

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Once you lose the narrative shifts...

After game 6 winner (hell..after the first 4 games) it went from Wall is the 2nd best player in the east
10 mins after a bad 2nd half in game 7 its he didn't even have a good series
A few hours later he wasn't even the best player on his own squad

However, when you lose and don't play near flawless basketball you open yourself up for them kinda takes.

If Beal showed up in Game 2, series was over in 5 or 6
