Wall has played the entire game like he has no legs. I think the back-to-back after 38 mins last night has taken its toll.
No legs because he had two knee surgeries this summer and couldn't truly condition. Plus if you are on a minutes restriction that doesnt just translate to the game. It means he cant work do the hours of cardio to condition himself to be capable of performing at a high level on back to back nights. I know you all had to notice how rarely John Wall elevates above the rim now--- I am not saying he cant jump....im saying the freakish jumping ablity that he displayed in his first years has deminished to the point where his length and straight line speed are compensating for his lack of upward explosion. I "think" his leg injuries have contributed to this but I am only speculating.
