Should have gone quick there. Bad late game coaching by Wittman...again.

We lost because of Wall, smh. Once again we gave away a win to the crappy Pistons. Can't believe how good we and the refs make these bums look. Wall needs to finish this season strong

Stupid play. You only need to win by 1 and the best they come up with is a 3 pointer from the corner?

I am at a loss for words right now about Wall.

Why didn't Beal just attempt the layup?

That might have worked. But it looked like Wall wanted no part of that last sequence. He didn't penetrate or anything before passing it off.

He could have got a floater off.

Because two Pistons stepped in front of him.

You and me both. I no longer can focus well up close. My long range vision went out a while ago, but now when I carve pumpkins, for instance, I need those 2.5X magnifying glass reading glasses things...I think bifocals are in my future in the next month...

Great coaching Whittman. Use all 12 seconds so if you miss you dont have a chance for a rebound or foul. Oh yeah, you were only down by 1.

Yup. He had an easy opportunity and basically threw it away.

Not that I saw - and he did throw it away. Then again, I thought Ariza made a miracle shot.

Huh?

Seriously.

The Wizards were playing with house money. Everybody has to be down on Wall. I would have told him he will win the game with a three. I would have expected everybody to crash the 50-50 board just in case.

Counterintuitive, but Wall shooing the three early in the clock would have caught the universe by surprise. His teammates would have EXPECTED a miss. Probably would have got a rebound and a foul or a tip in. It was just a one point game.

Wall wouldn't turn it over if he shot a quick three and he definitely would have been open. It is better for Wall to miss a three than to miss a long two, also.

80s, it IS crazy but I think not a bad call, actually. I would give him a 25% chance but on a night with Detroit giving the game away I'd raise that to 50%.

Odd execution on that last play, we were lucky to even be in that sort of position. And damn, did I get fooled, lol. That was arguably Wall's worst game of his career. He honestly needs to earn the starting job. I'm beginning to wonder if even wants to get better as a player. How you don't take advantage of Calderon is baffeling to me. To lose to a mediocre Pistons team 4 times in inexcusable. Only thing I can take solace in is that at least I don't live anywhere close to that god forsake city.

I couldn't watch the game can someone give me a brief rundown of the last minute or so?

nuposse04 · Post #220 » by **nuposse04** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 2:22 am

Also, wtf with the 3 ball, ur only down one....this is a perfect example of where Nene coulda been useful.
