Another great game from our backcourt.
Wall and Beal are both looking very good. Beal obviously won't keep this pace up but as long as he stops having horrid shooting nights while sprinkling in some gems like tonight I'll take it.
I'm happy if he shoots 20+ shots a night even if he has a horrid shooting night. The problem is when he takes like 12 shots AND has a horrid shooting night. Even if he's ineffecient, as long as he plays aggressively and is looking to score, then I'm happy. He will get better much faster that way, and takes a lot of the load off of Wall's shoulders.
The Wizards really lack a scoring threat besides Wall, so Beal has to step up even if he's not shooting well. They can't rely on Porter or Gortat to put up consistent points, they are more there for the defense and rebounding.
Beal just has to stay healthy and stay aggressive and play at least average defense and I think the Wizards will have a good chance of making the playoffs.
