Chris Miller covers the Wizards for CSNMinn Atlantic, and he joins us on the 18-T expert hotline.

Mr. Miller, thank you so much for joining us, sir.

Great to be with you guys. Good morning.

Is there a concern over Beal? What is going on with Beal? He sucks.

Wow. Yeah, he struggled in Game 2 a lot. I think the six turnovers was really indicative of the struggle. I'm going to give the Celtics a lot of credit for that. I think that listening to Jay Crowder yesterday, they know the plays that are called for Brad, and they are locked in on them when

they hear the set being called out. They are jumping him. They are blitzing everything. It's

making them very difficult. They want him to be a ball handler. I think two of those six

turnovers that he had in game two were cross-court passes, which is a very difficult thing

to do in the league

of some of the greatest athletes on the planet.

Shooting four for 15 doesn't help one or nine from three.

It really just never get into a rhythm.

And I think once John was going the way he was going, John Wall getting 40 and 13, he was

really the only sustainable offense that I think the Wizards had throughout the course of the night.

And it might have just became a one-on-one battle between him and Isaiah Thomas.

And if that's the case, the Celtics have that advantage because Brass Stevens has more weapons he can deploy in a game like that.

Chris, what's your read on the mental state of the Wizards right now after losing two

games that just are heartbreakers? I mean, being up 16-0 at the beginning of game one

and then being up 14 and still finding a way to lose in overtime. Does this team in your mind

have the emotional stability to be able to put that aside

and not let it affect them in game three?

I would say emotionally frustrated but not despair,
