Box score surveyors might see this as a slightly difficult decision, but if you watched the Johnny Ballgame, you know there's only one right answer.

J Dub, dissecting the Heat with ruthless efficiency. I like our focus at home this year. Wanted to see John get 20 dimes but oh well Randy opted instead to play the bench deep.

Absolutely no question. Wall was in total control tonight. He's the POG. But Butler was good too. I LOVED how aggressive he was tonight. I hadn't seen that from him.

John Wall all day. We see this kind of performance from him every so often where he plays beyond an elite level with strictly his passing. My favorite kind of John Wall.

Honarable mention...the guy who people wrote off after 2 games.

He doesn't need makeup or a commercial. HE IS UNCLE DRE.

I like it when the good guys win.

I like it when the big money making guys play like they deserve everything they earn, and then some.

I am happy for Wall and Gortat. Both guys lead with their hearts. I am happy whenever they do well.

And all else I have to say is Rasual Butler better not go anywhere. He's a Wizard. He can play very well.

Good news on a day I am glad to hear it.

I think I've found a way to give it to someone other than Wall in almost every game, and Butler quickly came through, offsetting Beal's early foul trouble. Still give it too Wall, drawing double coverage, finding his man, playing a great game.

This is how wizards should play every game. I'm not talking efficiency, even though I wish but I'm talking about pace and roles. I'm not a big fan of Beal leading the offense only because that hinders John and John plays off of confidence. I like how they pushed the tempo and took quick shots. They looked the Warriors for a 2nd

Wall was dominant but you kinda expect that from him nowadays. Gotta give props to my man Ras "al ghoul" Butler.

:lol:

Something strange going on with the board i guess. Nivek did the same thing in the game thread, repeating the same post over and over.

I am just glad to see Wall look like he is learning from his mistakes. If he just cuts down the bad shots and turnovers he can be a really effective player.

He does! :lol:

It's like he's saying "keep your eye on the ball young blood...that's right...follow the ball...you are now oblivious to everything around you...including DGIII coming up to set the screen....buh bye young blood!" :lol:

I mean look at Napier go after the ball like a puppy to a laser light. He's just toying with him. :lol:

Yeah it wouldn't post, then I went to see if I had a ton of repeat post and nothing showed.

I don't know what happened, but I've been trying to clean up all the double posts.
