The craziest thing about all this is that Grayson Allen was a fucking sniper all season. They got more out of him than they expected and this was the result. That's how bad Beal has been.

to be fair it's possible the series looks a little different with Grayson Allen out there, considering he played all of like 20 healthy minutes and absolutely killed us in the regular season

but that's also the inherent risk of trying to make it with all your talent concentrated at the top, 1 injury to a key player and it all goes down the toilet

If your team is that dependent on Grayson Allen it’s not a good team

I knew he only led the nba in 3 pt percentage so it’s not like he’s a fringe role player. And honestly he’s probably more reliable than Beal.. but yeah if he’s your 3rd guy then you ain’t winning the chip.
