that's what he SHOULD do. wall is the #1 overall pick. lucas was in the d-league last season. lucas is a bum compared to wall. wall should be killing. he is the most talented player on the court tonight

One thing I like about Wall: he always gets off his desparation, last second heaves in time. They never go in (which is the same you could say for any shot he takes in the last 24 seconds of quarters), but it shows he's not playing for stats.

The Wizards are leading the Bulls on the road?

Someone needs to get in Seraphin's ear and tell him to take it to the rim strong. He is too big to be going up soft all the time.

4pts and 1 assist in an entire half. are you kidding me?

i'm surprised he hasn't turned the ball over 4 times already. that's about the only good thing i can say about his play.


I thought he had a good half. He wasn't out of control.

Shelvin came in and did well, except for when he tried to get inside and score. Kid has no chance in there.

I thought Vesely and Seraphin played well. So did James Singleton.

not doing bad isn't the same as having a good half. he didn't play bad or out of control as you said, but he wasn't good either. at what point do we start expecting more from a #1 overall pick? he is going up against john lucas and cj watson.

so many games against inferior pg's he just doesn't excel. it's alarming to say the least.

Not making excuses, but Watson and Lucas are an excellent tandem for backups. But it's not simply Wall against Watson or Lucas, it's a lousy shooting team (hitting about one in three) against one of the best defenses in the league, featuring good team defense and a few excellent positional defenders. Loose that defense on those already shaky Wizards scorers, and they'll miss a lot of shots if they can even find their spots. Wall doesn't look great, he doesn't look bad, he looks like a second-year PG trying to lead his offensively challenged teammates against a top defense.

And right on cue he does another heave. That's two in 3 quarters.

Ive been calling all year for Mo to play. If you arent going to let JV start at the 3 then Ive always said it should be Mo. He's way way way better than Singelton. I wouldnt be upset if Witt was only doing that to purposley tank or to help the future but he's not. He wants to win as much as he can so he can keep his job.

Not only that but even though Singelton is a rookie, he's clearly not part of our young core. Therefore how does he start every single game? We wouldve been alot better this year with Mo starting there. I think he does every single thing better, espically his jumper. Singelton has the size but Mo is tough and makes up for it by being a vet. I just dont get how he's been benched all year for him.

Again, I could understand if you played JV over him. Weather you think JV is better or not, he needs to play because he's a high pick. I could understand if you played Singelton over him because you thought Mo might help you win and you dont wanna do that but Witt does wanna win. Not only that but I think he couldve helped Wall a ton. I dont get it but whatever.




PS- Seraphin is that dude

Closing the game strong. This win could really lift their spirits.

NOH won so at least they wouldn't lose any tank points.

^ I've wondered the same thing. Mo has played really well when given minutes. There has to be something going on behind closed doors that is limiting his playing time.

It definitely makes a difference getting some scoring from the 3.

I am not sure CS has much of a future in the NBA. He has no clue when he has the ball in his hands.
