Walls defense is what's making him a top 3 PG right now.

Agreed.. Temple should be on the shortest of leashes right now

I would love to see us get in the bonus down the stretch here.. we're continuing to attack and draw fouls, that's winning basketball.

I actually feel like we're getting home town calls...weird

Man, this crowd should be raising the roof right now.

Come on people. Make some noise.

Man, if he could continue to play like that we wouldn't need to make a trade this season...

That was the gamble heading in I think, that one of Seraphin or Jan would show they're worth a damn. Seraphin's rebounding is still bad, but his defense is adequate and when his offense is one, he's pretty damn good.

Yep, if he could rebound a bit better - make that a lot better on the defensive end he would be fine.

only scary thing is Temple with 2 turnovers and Lillard geting hot with Wall on the bench. That sounds like disaster.

I think he has always had confidence. Look like Kevin being Kevin to me. Get ball. Shoot it.

This is how you use him. Just let him be who he is. He is an offensive post player. Nice energy scoring off the bench. If we had a SG version of him as well, the bench would have a lot of punch.

We lucked out that Booker is not available tonight. That's the only reason Kevin is getting this kind of minutes.

Don't mistake aggression for confidence. Kevin is always aggressive but I don't think he always has much confidence - thus the prolonged benching. But right now, he's demanding the ball, putting up confident shots and knows they're going in from the minute it leaves his hands.

You know what to do, Witt.

He is having a very difficult time getting the Wiz into their sets...

Portland still has a big run left in them. Lillard and Matthews can get hot quickly.

Yeah, 3 or 4 games in a row where his substitution patterns have been good and calling timeouts at the appropriate time, what gives? Hope he doesn't regress to the mean.

Well might be slipping hairs. Maybe we just disagree. Either way, I like what I am seeing.

I get a sense it has as much to do with Randy better understanding what Kevin is and just letting him be himself. As long as he passes it back once in a while, doesn't turn it over and plays some D, I think Randy can live with him being so offensive minded.

Wall. Right now.

Post #155 » by **miller31time** » Tue Feb 4, 2014 1:52 am

Nice job, Witt. Bringing back in Wall right where I thought would be a good time.

hands11 · Post #156 » by **hands11** » Tue Feb 4, 2014 1:54 am

Didn't really see a foul on Lillard on that.

BIG KEVING GIVING THEM FITS

That's one jacked up haircut Mo Williams is hiding under that sweatband.
