Well, now we know why first-round picks don't supply immediate help (Oubre, Porter). Especially ones that mainly came off the bench in college. That's why I'm not upset giving up a 10-20th pick for Morris since I know who will be drafting them.

I like how sessions is playing on the offensive end, being aggressive and attacking the basket. Defensively, yeah about that.

The problem is Oubre wants so badly to have an impact when he's out there, especially as a defender, that he goes out overly agressive, bodying up and swiping at the ball. He just needs to chill and play the game.

Why couldntve oubre been brought on earlier? Why wait till the end of the first half to give him a chance? I hate Wittmans development strategy

He's too hype out there. It's tough on a young player. He goes from not playing, to playing, to starting, to barely playing, to sitting, to now playing garbage minutes. Tough to find any rhythm. So every time he comes in for 2 minutes, he probably feels he has to make an impact instead of just playing.

Maybe John Wall should have eaten chicken sandwiches before the game to get a little more excited.

I love it when the star player rips the fans and then **** the following night.

Wow, John, if you are not going to try on defense, why even play?

Washington is getting beat in every phase of the game and they're no match physically right now.

Everything the Heat do on offense is too easy, they're just letting Dragic stroll into the lane every damn time.

Wall's defense. What the hell is he doing

Our free-throw shooting, a joke.

Temple a great defensive player my arse.

Wall's worst game in a long time

Who would have thought that the fattest and most out-of-shape looking guy on the Wizards would appear to have the most energy in a 3 games in 3 straight nights?

It's hard watching Temple play 'offense.'

Amazing that we have just 3 turnovers. You would have thought that we'd be throwing it all over the place, but I guess fatigue ain't bothering that department.

I'm surprised at the frustration in this game thread. The Heat aren't stupid; they're pushing the pace every chance they get. And lo and behold, every area that the Wizards are stinking in -- boxing out, FTs, outside shooting, transition defense -- are all expected casualties of tired legs.

There's a reason that teams don't play 3 nights in a row. This is it.

No joke. Seems like the only one taking it seriously.

Wonder why? I'm not getting on Wall tonight. He gets benefit of the doubt.

Does he get the benefit of the doubt for playing terrible defense as well. I can excuse the offense but lazy defense doesnt help anybody.

Well, we do have some fellows (cough, cough Oubre) who haven't logged heavy minutes.

YOUR WINNER...
