The wizards are in my opinion more talented than we are, but they just did not want it like our guys did. Our Defense is scrappy and physical, which is the part of basketball that guys like Wall dont seem to want to do until playoff time. We wanted it and seized our moment when they were not paying attention. They got rankled and tried to fight back (with the help of the refs, I mean neither TT nor Cedi could not buy a call!) but we kept it up enough to keep them from coming back. I think our main guys were pretty gassed in the fourth, especially Sexton and Burks, but we got good energy from Clarkson, Nance and the two newbies down the stretch. Its a win, and I will take it.
But if we trade TT, I think defensively it will be tough for use, because we just dont have the big to play low. When washington went big we struggled physically, and Morris and Green both have legit three point range.
I also think it needs to be said that a lot of our shots fell last night which might not happen again. TT and Burks both have bricky looking strokes, and I think are streaky. Clarkson is also streaky, but I think he sometimes shoots off balance, which is not a skill set he has. Jones has a legit three stroke, but he plays wiggly, so I dont know if he will show up every game. We shall see.
