Bullets v. Lakers

[miller31time]

Yet another game with 0 free throws for Beal.

It's really making life tough for yourself when you have to rely on shooting the ball well every night to manufacture points.

[jeffsays]

Definitely need to sit Wall tomorrow. Rolled ankle or worse, he needs to get some rest.

[JWizmentality]

Bulls-GSW down to the wire but check out DRose Ast/TO ratio...yikes!

[hands11]

Wall can rest the next two games for all I care. I had them as Ls anyway.

Give him until Mon at CHA off.

Feb 2 CHA
Feb 4 @ ATL
Feb 5 @ CHA
Feb 7 BRK
Feb 9 ORL
Feb 11 @ TOR

Come back with CHA, CHA, BRK, ORL as wins and we are in good shape going into the AS break

What's the NBA record for most TOs without an assist?

Does Rose really have 11 turns? That's an entire team's worth of TOs.

(Cue all of Chicago fan-boys ragging on John Wall about his turnovers. Yeah right.)

[keynote]

I think Wall was hunting for that 10th board.

Who cares? He deserved a trip dub with the way he played tonight.

Eh, if he's gimpy, I'd rather him on the bench with a trainer working on that ankle. The game was in hand at that point.

After being down 30-49, the Wizards outscored the Lakers 68-43.

He took the ball to the rim pretty aggressively tonight. But that hang-in-the-air thing he does at the rim doesn't seem to get him to the line that often. He uses his hangtime and his chest to get off shots well; the next step is learning how to use those same tools to draw fouls.

Still, don't know why Seraphin plays as much as he does.

It's pretty easy to see why. All these "basketball people" constantly fall in love with him when they see him play, like whenever we play on ESPN Hubie Brown is salivating whenever Kevin makes a nice play or a smooth move. He's big, agile, has a hook shot. The physical tools are probably the biggest reason why he gets to stick around. Kev is totally a what-if player. If you're Randy or EG, you don't wanna let him go to another team where everything finally clicks for him and we look stupid. Let it be noted that I am not a fan of Serapin.

I just hate the most that a proven and hardworking guy like DuJuan Blair has to sit and watch Seraphin make boneheaded plays every game.

Beal is amazing in the fact if you just look at this line, it usually looks good.

But if you want him game, he leave so much out there.

If he learns to do what he really needs to do, he could be amazing.

At least he got up his 3 ball attempts tonight. Only made one, but he got up 6 which is where he need to be. Hopefully he gets hot again soon.

Same with Rasual.

Don't lose faith in Rasual yet people. Shooter are always hot.

Now if Otto would just shoot more then one 3 in 30 mins we might be able to get back to that 20 attempts per game we need to be at.

He took it into the paint a few times right at 7-footers.. just doesn't know how to get the call (maybe he has to start screaming AYE!!)

True but he really isnt the kinda guy you say that with

career 34.3 three point shooter before this , and 39.0 career shooter overall

[Halcyon]

I hate cameras so close to the court. I really do.

[hands11]

Bulls-GSW down to the wire but check out DRose Ast/TO ratio...yikes!

Wow..

11 TOs and 1 AST

32 shots ?

4-12 from 3 ?

Is he trying to lose the game single handedly ?

[hands11]

GSW 0-11 from 3 in the 2nd half. Doubt that happens very often

He makes those shots pretty well and refs don't like calling contact if you make the shot. Supposed to call fouls if the contact alters your trajectory/momentum and that's what is technically happening when they stone him in the air but he just hangs there and eventually gets the shot off.
