GT #22: Wizards @ Mavericks 12/12/15 8:30 PM on CSN+

Was at Zoo Lights tonight and have just finished watching on DVR. Yeah, the 4th quarter was frustrating. But dang, the Wizards in the 3rd quarter were really great to watch.

A win is a win is a win.

It sucks that we gave away the W in NOLA last night. We'd be 2-0 on the road trip and it was a winnable game.

Otto was great. Looking like Rip Hamilton on those mid range shots off screens. Even when (if maybe :/) Beal comes back i wanna see him get as many looks.

Has Dirk lost it, or was our defensive scheme that good?

Shame we couldnt hang on to the big lead, but its good to get the win. Hopefully Nene comes back soon so we have a bit more size and interior scoring. We look good when our outside shots are wet, and Wall is getting out on the drive and looking for gaps in the half court. As we know, that doesnt last and we look absolutely shocking when the long balls arent falling. Thats where a bit of post game from Nene helps.

Porter was red-hot for most of the game -- only to not get that many looks down the stretch. Is that on Randy, on Wall/Porter's teammates, or on Porter?

The Mavs started the game with Dirk on him and I believe the Mavs decided to pay more attention to Porter down the stretch.

Watched the replay of the game earlier. Hopefully this is the game that gets Otto's outside jumpshot going, that's really the only thing keeping him from breaking out as a high-end SF. Really, he has shown us everything else and still has a ton of room to improve.

Woke me up this morning and decided to hold on to that artistry that was the third quarter and completely sublimate the fourth.

There are stretches where the run and chuck looks really good.

Sure is nice to see Porter hit some shots.

But wow Wall has just been on a tear. This month he is averaging 27/11 with a TS of 63.6% and an ORTG of 120. Who was that scrub wearing his jersey last month?

Wow -- that was *a wild ride!*

Porter had the best game of his career, and Wall was off the charts too.

A big - no, huge! - nod to Ramon Sessions. He was solid down the stretch last night, and he has been having an *outstanding* season. Not too many PGs playing better than he is off the bench. If he keeps this up, he's going to have a nice pay day coming next Summer.

I'm going to eat crow on Sessions...he's been pretty good this year.

Finally finished watching the game yesterday. WTF was Dallas doing with the Hack-a-Sessions? He is not a bad foul shooter.

This feels like that one year(think it was two years ago but maybe it was last year?)when we were a way better road team. Like we'd beat all the good teams on the road but then lose at home to trash.
