Let's appreciate Beal in this playoff series
The Wizards shooting guard has shown us more than just a glimpse that he can be another All-Star player for years to come.
Hawks ramp up the ball pressure in the fourth
The Wizards couldn't close out a team that failed to score for the first six minutes of the fourth quarter. How did it happen? Because Atlanta decided to ramp up the ball pressure.
Recap: Wall can't fix everything as Wiz fall 82-81
The Wizards got a nice boost from the return of their star point guard, but still didn't have quite enough to steal one on the road from Atlanta.

GAME. ON.
Beal's gut feeling is Wall will play Game 5
FWIW: Bradley Beal says re: Wall: "Knowing John, he'll probably play. That's just my gut. He'll never leave us out there to dry."
— David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) May 13, 2015
Reminder: Bradley Beal's gut is not a doctor.
Debating on if Wall should return to play is silly
Whether you want to see John Wall return or if you want to see the Wizards play it safe, there's no point in arguing whether or not it's a good idea.
