That's more important than Crawford's streaky shooting or Nick. Wall is shooting so much better in February. Once he starts making those shots, teams have to respect that and that opens up the drive.

I'm not too worried. We're still 3rd in the standings, and I think we'll lose tomorrow against the Clips.

So THIS is what happens when Nick, John, and Jordan are all hitting shots! And when Booker takes out the other team's best player. And when Vesely uses all 5 fouls. And when Javale has no WTFs and several OHYs.

Seriously, this was the best I've seen the Wizards play in I don't know how many years. I cannot remember.

Best back-to-back games probably in decades.

Wall was beyond good today. Crawford played like an all star. Nick couldn't miss.

That was tremendous.

He's no DeMarcus Cousins for sure though. :wink:

Congrat to Ves for his first 6 foul game. A badge of honer for his hustle and energetic defense.

+10 with only 2 shots.

9 rebounds.

Go Ves

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. We know there aren't going to be many games where all 3 guards are hot. Just enjoy it when it happens.

That was the best he has even shot from outside.


That is a lot closer to what I thought Wall, Craw and Nick would look like.


I loved his layup out of the timeout, but that running bank shot was SWEET.

Wall has figured it out. He set up guys AND looked fluid on the shot.

The team is really playing with a ton of confidence and more than that just ENERGY.

Wall's pull up jumper is becoming money.

And dish.

He still has plenty of room to improve. He is starting games really bad. Way to many turnover to start.

Vesely really did a lot of good things. Seems like even Javale is trying to set picks no after seeing Vesely do the same. Vesely is the first big who the Wizards have had that I remember who will find the cutter with the basketball.

Jan kicks it in to McGee or back out to the guards.

I Love the way Vesely defends the high screen roll. He rotates back to his man. Vesely's length is a factor at both ends.

He changes games without scoring.

I am not joking.

Dude seems to have had the light switch come all the way on. Night and day how he's playing all of a sudden.

My favorite part of Wall's performance was when he hit that baseline floater over someone. It's been looking a lot better lately.

Javale really pissed me off this game. I don't think I've witnessed a more frustrating player in my life.

In CCJs defense ( and mine ) I think it is Wall that is coming around, not the other way around. :wink:

Can pretty much kiss any chance of getting Anthony Davis.

I still have faith. The Wizards won't make the playoffs. They will still have a shot as improbable as it may be to land Davis.

Right now I am so excited to see how they're playing.

This was a real win against a good team. Batum was on fire. Wallace was going hard. Matthews was nailing threes. Their old guys Camby and Thomas were helpless.

Forget the tank. Keep playing like this.

18 points, 11 boards, 2 assists, 1 block, no turnovers. He shot 54% from the floor and 67% from the line. I think he had a good game. Many of the inside points we gave up was because McGee rotated to stop the initial shot and nobody else was there to collect the rebound.
