It looks like Wall is missing Beal though, Garrett Temple was not even as good as his stat line indicates- at least 2 of his baskets were on the fastbreak meaning that Temple was 1-7 on his other field goal attempts. The Wizards aren't going to win many games when they only make 7 3s.

That's BS. John is not missing Beal. Beal hasn't made this team better (at least, not in the regular season) and he and John almost never play well together. I'm pretty sure we'd still be just as bad.

Why do you think that? We were playing just as crappy with beal.


He's being sarcastic.

Just based on tonight, Wall stunk. 7 turnovers and 4 assists is not going to get it done. Wall also had 7 turnovers against Cleveland, who the Wizards were able to beat last time with Bradley Beal (thanks to his defense). It looks like teams have figured out how to slow down the vaunted Garrett Temple. Beal was not holding back Wall; Wall was holding back himself with mental errors like he committed today. I believe Wall had 3 turnovers in the first 4 minutes and 4 in the first quarter. Not going to get it done.

Yeah, but not because of Beal. They all stunk tonight. Dudley wasn't stretching the floor and no one else was making plays.
Thanks Ernie and Ted!

Wizards and Raptors combined to play below replacement level tonight. Temple, Wall, Nenê and Neal rated in negative territory. The only Wizards player to rate above average tonight was Porter. They're in trouble at this point. They need to string together some wins pretty damn soon.

So, if I read this correctly, at some point Wittman brought out a lineup of Sessions, Neal, Temple, Gooden, Nene.

Hey may not be back unless we close-in on a playoff spot, then he can crow that despite injuries, his man EG got us to the playoffs and put us in position to make a play for KD.
