Re: Official John Wall Appreciation Thread 2.0
back to back games, Wall shot more 3s then Beal.
Wall was 2-4
Beal was 1-2
Both were wins. But its seems Wall is doing what he needs. This team needs more 3 balls.
Beal needs to shot more though.

Re: Official John Wall Appreciation Thread 2.0
Wall is pretty streaky as a 3 point shooter so when he's on, he should shoot a lot.
Do agree Beal needs to be more assertive at times but remember he is still only 21 years old.

Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

Wall keeps impressing all kinds of people with his hard work. There's something special developing right here in Washington, DC.

It aired on ESPN following the Hawks vs. Pistons game, nice to see the the intricacies of Wall's game introduced to a national audience.

We already know, Wall finished first in votes for guards in the East, some 57k votes ahead of Dwayne Wade.
The East's starting five will be:
John Wall / Dwayne Wade / Lebron James / Carmelo Anthony / Pau Gasol
That is assuming Anthony comes back healthy for the game.

Re: Official John Wall Appreciation Thread 2.0
well that's exciting. Can't wait to watch him play with them! I honestly think if he gets enough time he'll rack up 30-35 assistsRe: Official John Wall Appreciation Thread 2.0

Voting closed yesterday, here are the results.

Edit:
Looks like those are the numbers as of 01/08/15, I suppose Lowry could technically make up a 160k vote in 11 days, but with the Raptors slump and Wall's national exposure since the beginning of the new year I highly doubt it.

Wall was amazing vs PHI..
The no look pass right after the half your to Beal off the tip play was awesome.
As I saw him pasting down another player.
His game is getting loaded.

This may be the best thing I've ever seen.
1. It's written and narrated by Zach Lowe, the best sports analyst this sport has ever seen.
2. It's all about Wall.
3. It has two scenes that totally backhand Lebron.

someone just tweeted that a shocker in the 11th hour a many time All Star lost his starting spot to a 1st timer and the only one that makes sense is Wade and Lowry but the source isnt credible. Atleast he didnt catch Wall if true

Re: Official John Wall Appreciation Thread 2.0
That last possession in regulation in yesterdays game was awful. Wall should be driving to the hole, not stand around for 15 seconds before jacking a mid range jumper.
I love Wall but when it comes to late game clutch situations, Gilbert Arenas he is not.
