This was probably one of the last time the wizards arena was ever this hyped

Prime Wall was a beast. Injuries got the best of him but he will always be an icon in D.C.

This series was so dope, I miss Prime John Wall man.

I think IT in 2017 was CRAZY. Man was 5'9" and dominating the league.

Times when John wall and Isaiah Thomas were in their primes 😭

What a bittersweet season it was for IT, having a MVP season and then losing his sister in the playoffs and then getting traded after the year was over.

The Wizards have to be one of the most disappointing teams in the last 20 years. Beal and Wall should have been enough to at least get a conference finals but they never really built a team good enough around them. Otto Porter was supposed to that 3rd guy but just too many injuries. They just always ran into a team that was better than them like 2015 Hawks or this 2017 Celtics team. Although getting dubbed up by Kelly Olynyk in a game 7 probably isn’t the best way to go out. A good what if would be a healthy John Wall paired with this version of Bradley Beal

John Wall will forever be a legend in DC he made being a wiz fan fun I really miss these days. Prime Wall was a beast you just had to be there 🔥

John Wall was such a good player man top 3 PG back then for sure

It's sad that Beal had lot's of injury issues early on, and as soon as those were done with, Wall started getting injured. People forget how crazy playoff Wall was. Dude averaged 25 and 10 with 2 steals and a block in the playoffs in both of his last healthy seasons. Sad he was never healthy again from the moment Beal became an all-star. Literally. The year Beal elevated himself into an all-star was when wall started having recurring foot issues. We never got to see prime wall play with another all-star, and they still made 2nd round twice. Imagine if Beal was what we know him to be now back then. We lost out on what could have been a great dynamic duo.

I was 17 for this game I’m 22 now. This was top tier John wall. Forever gonna be my #1 favorite player 💯

I saw the john wall tribute video earlier, remember the dagger 3 he made to force game 7. I remember this like it was yesterday. That play really sticks to my mind wherever I hear john wall. When I watching this live and john wall shot that, I was like "damn, there so much time left and it better to tie it because it's elimination game." But hey, he made it and now I will never forget it. PS: not a wizard or john wall fan. Just appreciate this play.

1:36 - for a young team like the Wizards-down 5, giving up two straight baskets, and on the wrong end of a charge-for them to keep their composure and clamp down with just over a minute left in an elimination game is impressive.

Man 2017 Isaiah Thomas was something serious 🍀🙌🏾

one of the best series ever imo

Insane shot by John Wall remember watching this one in person

One game away from making it to eastern conference finals 😢

The 2010s Wizards peaked that night

Celtics Vs Wizards used to be a fun rivalry

Remember when all the Wizards arrived to the building wearing all black suits

John Wall was ELITE that season. There was a legit debate between him, IT and Kyrie about whos the best PG in the east. I was always team Wall because of his defense

You can't always say, we will be back next year. I'm a Wizards fan and I thought we're on a good trajectory after that great series but we never reach that level again. The Celtics remain as one of the best teams in the East while we're stuck in mediocrity. I love the rivalry between these two teams but it ended quickly when they traded IT, Bradley, and Crowder. After 5 years, I didn't expect to see IT bouncing around teams for a 10-day contract and Wall getting his max contract but not playing a single game.

i remeber watching this game and I didnt have any cable i was screaming so loud when this shot happened.

I miss Prime John Wall and Isaiah Thomas

I remember me and my family had dinner at pizza my heart the night this game was on, mostly everyone there was a Celtic fan, and everyone groaned so loud when John Wall hit that shot. Crazy to think that was 5 years ago

I was there!! Still the livest game I've been too. And I've been to plenty nfl games plus seen Lebron play but this game right here was LITTTTTT!!!

Prime John Wall is different. I just wish we got to see Prime Wall and Prime Beal together

Even the 2017 Wizards would have went toe to toe with the 2017 LeBron led Cavaliers. Too bad we could not even have that timeline.

The chills I get man

I miss John walls 360 layups

This series was a classic

I miss John Wall being on that court

ppl forget how good was JOHN WALL

This brung back some IT memories

Remember when Oubre decked Olynk? 😂😂😂 Ran at him like a bull

Y'all remember when Avery Bradley was good?

Bro I remember watching this at my friends house in like 4th grade we were going crazy

Bring IT back to the league!

who would've thought this would be the last time John Wall actually would be in the second round.. this was literally the last time he made it this far in the postseason .. Prime Wall was a beast. Injuries got the best of him but he will always be an icon in D.C.

its always nice to go back to times like these when guys like john wall and isaiah thomas were running the league

I was at that game man what a beautiful moment in DC sports history

Who here from the podcast?

2017 Wall and Thomas were so good, sadly injuries ruined their primes

back when john wall was more than 40 million dollars sitting on the bench

best moment of my life

Love this game

Hopefully Wall can finally get a ring with the Clippers

If wall comes back beal stays with what they have they would be better wiz need a point

Last good memory as a wizards fan

Sad to say this moment was the peak of the wizards franchise

Marcus Smart is SOOOOO much better now, it’s crazy

i was at this game. i miss wall. injuries ruined everything.

You gotta respect the work Marcus Smart put in over the years, he looks way bigger in this compared to now

Gangsigns Wall 💯

I miss prime I.T mr 4thquarter MVP average 28 ppg 2016-2017 season

Both of the teams were playing to see who was gonna get swept by lebron

Isaiah was unreal this series

Nice game

Bogdanovic & Oubre on the bench. That Wizards team could’ve made a sneaky finals push that year.

That play they ran for Avery Bradley in the corner was the same one they would use against Cleveland in the next round to win just one game.

I was at this game the energy was crazy, I miss when the Wizards were somewhat decent

Wall and now Beal now gone. what a fun team they had. If otto had stayed healthy what could have been? To bad they have to rebuild now. If they could insert Porzingus n Kuzma instead there set.

I miss wall and beal ;(

IT was goated man, why did you ruin his life Boston?. He could be the greatest changer against the warriors this finals

You wanna see why they call Brad Stevens a great coach? Look at that inbound play at 4:02. Double screen to get 2 guys open, except if neither are open the play design is actually to give the ball to the pick guy on the right (Horford) so that one of the guys originally trying to get open (IT) can actually set a screen for the inbounder to make a backdoor cut. If the backdoor cut isn't open, IT is right there for the handoff and rub to the basket where he can essentially run a Horford pick and roll/pop with great spacing. Thats as good a play as you're going to see with 15 seconds, executed beautifully, although that shot was lucky lol Now see the Wizards answer at 4:20. Wall simply runs to the corner, Gortat sets a half-hearted screen for Morris that doesn't do anything, then takes his time setting a 2nd screen for Beal in the far side while everyone else just stands still. A miracle that they were even able to inbound the ball, yet alone get up a decent look. Shows how quick John Wall is to shake his man, but Scott Brooks and Gortat really show why the Celtecs were the 1 seed and Wizards were the 4 seed, despite similar talent on both sides

Good ole IT days

I.T. was killing the nba that year

I miss that john wall

i think marcin needs to be the best player and if he dont want to do anything he dont understant english but it was good

What an ending

here's what happened to all players seen in this game bojan bogdanovic (was) is now a regular starter for the utah jazz jaylen brown is now the the co-star alongside tatum for the celtics avery bradley (bos) and markieff morris (was) both won a championship with the lakers otto porter jr (was) just won a championship with the warriors against the celtics with a returning al horford marcin gortat (was) retired jae crowder (bos) is still a good role player, now playing for the suns marcus smart (bos) and bradley beal (was) still plays for their respective teams to this day and then the two main stars of this game: isaiah thomas and john wall both got their career ruined by injuries thomas struggled to find a new team but now he looks good in charlotte as a scorer off the bench with kelly oubre jr (who's with the wizards this game) wall hasn't played in over a year and still trying to find a team willing to take his hefty contract

Anyone know what the song is at the end of the game?

I miss Mr 4th quarter

Hows the time loss with the pass to Kelly 3.5 to 1.7 listen to the whistle and the clock keeps running what a joke.

Last time Wizards were good

I started watching, thinking this was the "I CALLED GAME" game

All this just for Kelly Olynyk to send you home. Playoffs be tough man

When IT was respected

Prime John Wall 💥

Now just imagine if kd went back home to his state and joined John wall and Beal in 2016-17 instead of the warriors.. I’m pretty sure they would’ve won one chip at least.

4:26 Why wasn't that shot in history O_O

I know it was 1.7 at the end but horford should have rolled on that pick

The real tragedy of this time frame was what the hell happened to Isaiah Thomas(I.T)… He was never the same after he left the ☘️’s..

Prime wall 💔

Beal is my favourite player

I miss when Isiah Thomas was king of the fourth quarter

2x all defensive 1x NBA Champ

Prime wall vs Prime thomas

The Wizards really could've been a championship team after this if a few things just went their way. This was supposed to be the beginning of Wall's peak, but the season after this is when injuries started to ruin him. Bradley Beal started being that 30 ppg scorer in 2019, but by that time Wall had already played his last game as a Wizard. If we got prime Wall and prime Beal at the same time, it really could've been something special. As a Wizards fan I can't help but wonder what we could've been for the past 6 seasons, sucks ass man.

I never understood why they ain’t play Oubre in game 7

The last time the wizards were relevant

Prime John wall :(

They sped up the video and edited it too much. You couldnt really feel the true suspense. Or the excitement of Wall jumping on the scores table after that legacy defining moment. I wish sheep fans would actually place blame on the billionaire owners first who choose to pay for a championship caliber team or not. John and Beal always gave it there all. John never played with a Superstar like his counterparts Kyrie and Russ. Wall has always been the A1 player his whole career. And false narratives aside he hasnt lost a step. He still averaged 21 and 7 coming off 2 years of injuries. But when Klay comes back the world stops. Unfortunately Wall isn’t a media darling and Stephen A Smith has had it out for him for some time now. Welcome to LA. When healthy he’s still my favorite player. And I hope that he can some day come back to DC. If the organization finally wants to WIN FRFR. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
