Nah, he tripped over Chandler's foot.

I hadn't noticed her face first.

It's not like I am Manti Teo, though.

(The game is predictably close. They're taking care of the ball, shooting a lot of threes, but not stopping Washington when the Wizards don't turn it over.)

Well on second look, yeah.

The good news is Ariza is hitting threes. The bad news might come in the second half if he takes enough three.

He had two mindboggingly stupid ones in the first few minutes. Outside of that I'd say he hasn't been worse than usual.

The form on those 3s looked pretty good.

Wall is such a mixed bag. It hard to enjoy watching him. Some plays he makes a so :roll:

Then he makes on that is

Then another :roll:

Back and forth.

One of those turnover he just through the ball to the other player. Then he dribbled right into someone and just turned it over and was left laying on the ground. Can't shot but has a great move to set up the shot.

And that play after he feel over Tysons foot, I just know he would come back and force something. Very predictable.

If he could just turn a few more of those bad plays into good ones, he would be more fun to watch.

Speaking of a mixed bag, one guy I have thought of as a potential Wall replacement, Marcus Smart is currently shooting 1-12 FG in OK ST vs Baylor. The grass can alway look greener but it may not be so.

So far, and I hate to post this, the story of the game beside the Wizards shooting well is that Tyson Chandler only had 5 rebounds in the first half.

He has three straight 20 rebound games. On pace he would have 10 by now, but the Wizards are doing a good job keeping Chandler boxed out.

So far.

Great interior D tonight. Still leaving shooters wide open, but they're not hitting fortunately.

Why did Wall pass up a wide open three to take a long two? And still bricked. C'mon man.

Every team is giving Nene/Okafor all the midrange shots they want. They are both obliging too often, shooting mid-30s on those looks.

Hate that shot by Wall. He should have just taken the 3.

tontoz · Post #52 » by **tontoz** » Thu Feb 7, 2013 1:34 am

Wall had an open 3 off the catch, decided to take one dribble and shoot a long 2 instead. :banghead:

Just tuned in. Huh. Seems like Wall's form is more like last year again. Not that he was all that different when he came back this season, but his timing and elevation seemed better.

Color me unimpressed.

How's the team playing overall? Are we playing good defense, or are the Knicks just missing shots?

Wall's hesitancy/fear of shooting wide-open jumpers :nonono:

...and then when he does shoot :noway:

hands11 · Post #55 » by **hands11** » Thu Feb 7, 2013 1:35 am

Like I said about Wall

Mixed bag.

Seems like his bad play equal out his good plays.

Problem is you want your PG to be steady. Wall is not that.

Right. Either do it or don't.

If you have to think about it, its to late.

I want to know if anyone is actually working with John on any of his mechanics. I really don't see an ounce of improvement in him at all.

When Seraphin comes in the other team starts getting second chance points and all the boards.

It seems like every time Wall comes out, our offense goes to ****. This line up has absolutely zero offensive options.

Wittman could have called a timeout sooner to get Wall back in.

Wall back in and there is a turnover.
