GT Wiz loose to heat 2/25/11

Damn, just saw that Wall is averaging 21/10/5 45%FG over the last 5 games (including the 1 assist game). Plus he is playing good defense.

This is the kind of improvement we should all be concerned with seeing. Screw the team record, this is the most important development of late.

Crawford has only been with the team 24 hours and doesn't know the plays.

What plays? Flip's offense is almost as fraudulent as Eddie's. I envy teams like the Spurs and Boston. Their offense is like a machine. Pops can take nobodys and make them look like superstars. Granted, the IQ on this team isn't particularly high. I know we suck, but the thing that irks me is we shouldn't suck THIS bad with the talent we have.

Really? SA has 3 veteran possible future HOFers starting. Boston has 3 veteran possible future HOFers plus Shaq. You and I could coach those teams to some success. It's a slightly different situation Flip deals with.

THIS John Wall with young prospects already on the team is exciting.

ccj, this is the same Wall that many of us have been seeing since his first NBA game...make that since Kentucky. All you had to do was look past the inexperience, rookie mistakes and injuries to see that.

What about having to look past really bad defense, bad perimeter shooting, and lack of competitiveness when he was deferring to Kirk all the time? DCZ, I was judging Wall by what I saw.

Apparently, healing from injuries and the clearing up of circumstances beyond Wall's have all made things better for the top pick.

It wasn't until the week before the break when Wall's game came around. He wasn't showing anywhere near what he's shown the past two weeks, with the exception of a handful of games early on in the season. He's really confident since getting MVP and the assist record last weekend.

Bad defense? Like I said...obvious inexperience and injuries. Perimeter shooting? It's still bad. But he's working on it. Lack of competiveness? That's your opinion, ccj. I don't see it.
