Odd part is that Blatche managed to post a -11 in 8 minutes whereas Wall is +1 in 18.

0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 2 PFs and 3 points.

Bizarro Blatche is the only guy that showed up tonight.

No one said it doesn't apply to Wall.

Why media keep saying the last time wizards beat them there was in 1999 during the Chris Webber era.

But didn't the Gil era beat them there as well?

John Wall should stop giving interviews about how tough it is to play with such awful teammates. Tony Parker is taking his manhood so far tonight."

Speaking of strawmen... and of course you never said or implied that at all.

People love to disagree with me so I guess it follows suit that you'd like to disagree on semantics.

Point 1: People love to disagree with you because your views are extremely polarizing.

Point 2: You're the one who brought up the strawman! Are you seriously going to make THAT an argument? Seriously?

Yes as both are true statements. They are mutually exclusive.

There's a reason why I have JJ on ignore. Don't feed the trolls.

There is a wide gulf between saying someone played pretty good defense and calling him an all star. It's the textbook definition of strawman. Sorry for the diversion.

This team is pathetic. I dont think anyone will argue with me on that.

You stated with certainty that he was the only player playing well today on our team.

Most teams have 1 all-star-caliber player.

It's actually not that ridiculous of an exaggeration to make, even though I'm sure hermitkid was making a gross exaggeration.

I think Wall has confidence issues against shotblocking bigs. When he can't get all the way to the rim it seems to mess with his head. Same thing happened against the Lakers. He just doesn't have confidence in the floater yet.

dlts20 · Post #54 » by **dlts20** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 2:04 am

2 things.

Wall has to really work on his tear drop/floater. He's missed a million of them the past 2 games. They are all good close looks. His percentage is much higher if he hits them and Parker just made one as I speak. All the PG's need to master that now.

Also, why is Booker always on p&r's on his weak side? We do way too much stuff with our bigs on there weak hand. It limits them and makes the finish awkward or soft

McGee hit a tear drop floater. First time I've seen a 7-footer do that.

A few plays later, after three forced shots by Jordan Crawford, McGee hit a face up.

Watching the Wizards, the more and more I watch I think the problems at SG are worse than the problems with Javale.

Guy has 18 and 13 and they're still forcing shots from outside. Also, Booker doesn't really post up much.

Honestly, if I were in Randy Wittman's position, I would tell Javale before he charges he can do that shot any time.

Nick Young's nickname really ought to be sticky fingers, he won't pass the ball no matter what.

closg00 · Post #58 » by **closg00** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 2:09 am

Can anyone on this team grab and keep the ball in their hands?

queridiculo · Post #59 » by **queridiculo** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 2:09 am

Lol @Blatche. Was that a steal and a rebound for Splitter?

Even if he misses he has a legit chance to get an offensive rebound since he is moving towards the basket.
