Can't wait until Mahinmi returns when we are 0-10.

Memphis commentators saying why isn't Wall in the game with 1:42 left in the game.

Beal is 2-2 from the FT line.

The reasons I DISAGREE STRONGLY deneem4 are: 1) Beal takes few FTs. 2) Beal doesn't convert the few fts he takes at a high rate.

He's no James Harden when it comes to attacking the basket.


I dont know what Beal does well...Beal isn't elite at anything..


He's IMO a nice-looking young man who I do believe is a person of faith.

He LOOKS the part.

The ONLY thing he does REAL WELL is convert three point shots at a high percentage.

Can't fire the coach again and he assembled the roster, Ted and Ernie are officially out of excuses if this goes South early.

Not sure what that means but he is supposed to be on a 32 minutes limit.

Yeah, blame it on him because he can't guard guys on the three-point line. He's chasing Conley around all night because John can't cover him.


After that 4th quarter 3...gortat should've been on gasol nunstop...period..
Pay your beals....or its lights out!!!

Beal and Porter both 3rd picks in the lottery and neither look like they belong.

There's no question I'd rather have Connelly than Wall. Trade Beal if possible. Tank is unconsciously underway.

The more I think about it, Beal might be untradeable with that contract. Who wants a mediocre shooting guard making the max? Certainly way too early to tank but I just get the feeling that this team is going to be horrid from watching them in preseason. I was hoping for 42-44 before the preseason and Mahinmi going down and now I'm not sure we reach 30.

I also don't believe in conspiracy theories and guys not liking playing with each other but starting to wonder now about Beal and Wall. Like there's a rivalry or jealousy or something out there. I do wonder if John is jealous of Brad's deal and if Brad is jealous that John is an All-Star and gets to take the last shot 99% of the time.

He'll make some trade before the deadline that negates any benefit to tanking, and the Wizards hamster wheel keeps on turning. (Hamster, AFM, not gerbil.)
