We are 52% from the floor and 70% from 3.

New York is 32% from the floor and 31% from 3.

We are only up by 6.

This does not bode well for the 2nd half.

I'd advice any church league basketball team from watching this game for fear of it being a bad influence. "By beholding we become changed."

Should have slammed it home.

Wow, Wall is shooting well right now. He's even hitting those long 2s where he hangs in the air too long.

Hey, John made a last-second shot! Stick with the iso!

Wall in beast mode.

I know Im probably in the minority but I dont like Porter being cut out the rotation right now and this is all with Beal still playing limited minutes. That means he definitely wont play when Beal gets all the way back.

Here is my solution; when Beal came back in he was handling the ball way more than Temple anyways so why not cut both Temple & Maynor out the rotation and use Beal as the backup PG. That way Porter can get those minutes that Maynor-Temple normally get

Shump gave Wall a win during the intereview. I think we are about to see a shift and Shump will be on Wall. Hopefully Wall can still either light him up or Beal can go off on Prigoni

I don't think Beal is ready to be a PG yet. He is working on it and getting better, but I'm extremely uncomfortable with Beal as the only ball handler out there.

Porter will get minutes sooner or later. Guys won't stay healthy and out of foul trouble all the time. And I never felt that regular game minutes are all that critical for player development anyhow. Porter will get better in practice.

If we want to find a way to forcefeed a few minutes for Porter, the solution is to play Ariza some more at PF and sent Vesely or Seraphin back to the bench.

Wiz outboarding them 33-18.

When was the last time you saw that kind of disparity?

MikeTheKid · Post #58 » by **MikeTheKid** » Tue Dec 17, 2013 1:58 am

No PT for Fart and a 15pt lead, I'll take it just calm down on the turnovers

Bargs shows why you can't win with him. He just watches as the rebound comes a foot or 2 away from him - and Bookers hustles and gets the offensive board and then the basket. If Bargs would just hustle on the boards and be smarter on offense, he'd be outstanding. But he doesn't, and he kills his team.

Wall has taken his foot off the gas a lil. I hate to put the pressure on him but we wont win with him in cruise control. Just stay aggressive whether its scoring or passing

Can the Wizards win in the Big Apple?
