Today I heard him say, "Hey, we got to protect home court this year. Anybody who come up here, they're going to get beaten up.' I was like, 'That's what I'm talking about.' I hadn't heard that in here. I'm about that. That's how it was at Georgetown. Protect home court, always. … That's going to change.
I like that kind of attitude. Sounds like something that would come out of Kevin Garnett's mouth.Anybody who come up here, they're going to get beaten up

Pierce is an og. I really like Otto Porters game & I think he's really gonna benefit from having the Truth around.
Lets face it PP's been hit on his jumper & whatnot due to legs & age (sometime you just feel better than other nights), but he's always a gritty leader & instead of old washed up Dwill, Ak & JJ surrounding him, he's gonna have young guns in Wall Beal Porter to make up for him.
I can't wait. I love the Wiz. Really rooting for you guys.

I'm not sure if Pierce's game can rub off of Porter. I'm skeptical because I'm not sure if any players have developed as a result of Pierce playing with them.

We never saw it last year and TA is a bigger guy then Pierce while being a better defender and that was before we added Hump & Blair. Not to mention Gooden was solid last year and they also raved about KS in that presser. I just dont see it unless Nene misses a ton of time which we all know is possible but even then I think Witt likes to stay big. Only time I see us going small like that right off the top of my head is we are just getting owned in a bad matchup or against teams like the Cavs-Knicks who may play guys like Melo & Lebron at the 4 some but I still dont see us doing it

Just don't want to see Nene & Pierce affect John's ability to run the break with Beal. In he half-court I like MIller with the starters.

I disagree. I think we ran well with Nene last year and I also think alot of TA's stuff in trastion came as the trailer anyways wich Pierce can do. Most of all, I think you are severly underrating Wall's halfcourt ability. He's been much better since returning from injury the previous season. He's not just a fast break PG anymore. He does a good job of picking apart the D. I also think in those lasat 8 games of thee season on into the playoffs we as a team mastered Witt's system and had great ball movement. It jusst also coincided with Wall hitting the Wall and couldnt make a shot to save his life. If we get that ball movement back with Wall's normal or improved play then we should be extremely hard to stop
