Washington Wizards @ OKC Thunder GT 11/10/13 (7 PM)

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

As someone else pointed out, love Wall's approach. He's playing smart and under control.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Just one half but that's the best defensive effort of the year by far. Gortat blocking four shots and nice perimeter D by guards.

Sorry I haven't seen any of this game. This team turning up the defense is just what is needed. Didn't expect this at all.

I am shocked they held OKC to 37 in a half. Not watching, but it sounds like a carryover from the Nets game. One comment made in that game was playoff intensity.

that was the 1st time all year I saw our top notch D from last season. If we bring that then we will be hard to beat but we have to hit our FT's and the stars have to play like stars. I hate losing games like this because its a good team that is there to be beat. You have to take advantage of that, espically on the road

Well, in fairness to the FTs. Its really Trevor A missing and he doesn't usually miss like this.

3-6 from Nene isn't all that surprising.

[Illmatic21]

I thought Wall was too passive in the preseason/first few games, but he is displaying a lot of maturity in the way he's been playing (other than the midrange bricks).

Any idiot can fly into the paint like a chicken with its head cut off.. ie John's first two seasons.

What separates the elite PGs is their ability to slow down and feel the game out. Wall is learning how to do that now. Eventually he'll be able to strike that perfect balance of when to attack and when to pull it back.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Man almost 20 minutes played and Wall has yet to attack the rim once. That back must be hurting him more than we know..

Been saying it the whole season so far. He can't/won't attack the basket in the halfcourt

Wall is taking what the defenses are giving him, in years past people would complain about how out of control he is, no it's the other way around smh.

He worked on his three point shot. He is MUCH better as a result. Defenses can no longer dare Wall to shoot the jumper and be confident he missesm

It was evident from the start they came not just to play but to win, got to keep the defensive effort up in the 2nd half, knock down fts and grab defensive boards which they cleaned after the 1st qt

[SizzlinSimms]

I hate when we shoot real quick.

[GhostsOfGil]

Wow. Beals release is slow but he always manages to get it off and splash it.

[jeffsays]

B3AL!!

[evolushunize]

Can't believe that we're hanging in there with our terrible offensive game tonight. As long as can keep the defensive pressure up against OKC, we have a chance to win.

[hands11]

Nene getting chippy. How about that ?

He block Westbrook and then went and told him about it.

[hands11]

Nene in beast mode.

[dlts20]

Ariza went under the screen on KD and Wall went under on WB in back to back plays for wide open shots

[Illmatic21]

Beal's ballhandling.. ugghh

[dlts20]

wall killing with crosscourt pass

[hands11]

Wizard took the punch and came back with their own.

[dlts20]

2nd chance points killins us. playing great D for nothing

[dlts20]

is it me or is our bb iq 10x better than every wiz team in the past

[80sballboy]

Westbrook needs a better acting coach. Gimme a break.

[hands11]

Wizards playing touch.
